Gentleman:
You have informed us that The Brinson Funds, a Delaware business trust
(the "Fund"), intends to file with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a post-effective amendment to its
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "1933"), registering the below-described shares of beneficial
interest of the following classes under the 1933 Act:
Title of Class Number of Shares
Brinson Global Fund 24,529,845
Brinson Global Equity Fund 919,963
Brinson Global Bond Fund 900,090
Brinson U.S. Balanced Fund 18,703,242
Brinson U.S. Equity Fund 17,692,308
Brinson Non-U.S. Equity Fund 21,246,459
We serve as legal counsel to the Fund and, as such, have reviewed the
Certificate of Trust, Agreement and Declaration of Trust, its Bylaws,
the registration statement it has filed with the SEC under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 and the 1933 Act, and such minutes of
the trust proceedings and other documents as we deem material to our
opinion. Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the shares
described in the first paragraph of this letter, when issued in accordance
with the Fund's relevant prospectuses, will be fully-paid,non-assessable
and legally issued shares of beneficial interest of the Fund.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the SEC as an exhibit to
the amendment to the Fund's registration statement under the 1933 Act, and to
the reference to us in the prospectus of the Fund as legal counsel who have
passed upon the legality of the offering of such shares of beneficial interest.
We also consent to the filing of this opinion with the securities regulatory
agencies of any states or other jurisdictions in which the shares of beneficial
interest of the Fund are offered for sale.
Very truly yours,
STRADLEY, RONON, STEVENS & YOUNG
