Re: Rule 24f-2 Notice for The Sierra Variable Trust
(File Nos. 33-57732 and 811-7462)
Gentlemen:
The Sierra Variable Trust (the "Fund") is a business trust
organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
with its principal executive offices in Northridge, California.
The Fund is an open-end diversified management investment company
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "1940 Act"). This opinion relates to shares of
beneficial interest, without par value, sold by the Fund in
reliance upon Rule 24f-2 during its fiscal year ended December
31, 1995, the registration of which is made definite by the
filing of the attached Notice.
We have reviewed all proceedings taken by the Fund in connection
with the authorization of an unlimited number of shares of
beneficial interest, without par value, which have been offered
under prospectuses included as part of the Fund's Registration
Statement on Form N-1A, as amended to the date hereof, which has
been filed with the Commission under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended and the 1940 Act (collectively, the "Registration
Statement").
We are of the opinion that such shares of beneficial interest
sold pursuant to the Registration Statement were, when issued in
return for the payment described in the Fund's prospectus
included as part of the Fund's Registration Statement, legally
issued, fully paid and nonassessable by the Fund.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP
