Ladies and Gentlemen:
RE: RULE 24F-2 NOTICE FOR BT PYRAMID MUTUAL FUNDS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995.
This opinion is being furnished in connection with the registration,
pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
"1940 Act"), of an indefinite number of Shares of Beneficial Interest (par value
$0.001 per share) (the "Shares") of BT Investment Equity Appreciation Fund, (the
"Fund"), series of BT Pyramid Mutual Funds, a Massachusetts business trust (the
"Trust"), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). I
understand that the Trust proposes to file a notice (the "Notice") with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") with respect to the
Trust's fiscal year ended September 30,1995, pursuant to such Rule 24f-2 under
the 1940 Act. This opinion is being furnished with a view to your filing it with
the Commission in conjunction with the filing of the Notice.
This opinion is limited solely to the laws of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts as applied by courts in such Commonwealth. This opinion is limited
solely to the Shares of the Trust as of the fiscal year ended September 30, 1995
as reflected in the Notice. I understand that the foregoing limitation is
acceptable to you.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, please be advised that it is
my opinion that the Shares covered by the Notice were legally issued and (to the
extent still outstanding) are fully paid and non-assessable, except that, as set
forth in the Trust's registration statement as currently in effect filed with
the Commission pursuant to the 1933 Act, shareholders of the Trust may under
certain circumstances be held personally liable for its obligations.
Very truly yours,
/s/PHILIP W. COOLIDGE
