Gentlemen:
You have requested my opinion for use in conjunction with a Rule 24f-2
Notice for SouthTrust Vulcan Funds ("Trust") to be filed in respect of shares
of the Trust ("Shares") sold for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1995,
pursuant to the Trust's registration statement filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933 (File No. 33-
46190) ("Registration Statement").
In its Registration Statement, the Trust elected to register an
indefinite number of shares pursuant to the provisions of Investment Company
Act Rule 24f-2.
As counsel I have participated in the preparation and filing of the
Trust's amended Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933.
Further, I have examined and am familiar with the provisions of the Master
Trust Agreement dated
March 4, 1992, the By-Laws of the Trust and such other documents and records
deemed relevant. I have also reviewed questions of law and consulted with
counsel thereon as deemed necessary or appropriate by me for the purposes of
this opinion.
On the basis of the foregoing, it is my opinion that the Shares sold for
the fiscal year ended April 30, 1995, the registration of which the Rule 24f-2
Notice makes definite in number, were legally issued, fully paid and non-
assessable by the Trust.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Rule
24f-2 Notice referred to above, the Registration Statement of the Trust and to
any application or registration statement filed under the securities laws of
any of the States of the United States.
The foregoing opinion is limited to the Federal laws of the United
States and the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and I am expressing
no opinion as to the effect of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
Very truly yours,
Mark A. Sheehan
Assistant Secretary
