Re: Public Offering of Shares of Beneficial Interest;
Berger Small Company Growth Fund
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel for Berger Investment Portfolio
Trust (the "Trust") in connection with the preparation and filing with
the Securities and Exchange Commission of a Registration Statement
(File No. 33-69460) under the Securities Act of 1933 on Form N-1A, and
amendments thereto, with respect to the offer and sale of shares of
beneficial interest of the Berger Small Company Growth Fund series of
the Trust (the "Shares"), including the Form 24F-2 for the fiscal year
ended September 30, 1995, registering 146,265,319.253 Shares pursuant
to such Registration Statement, as amended, in accordance with Rule
24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
We have examined the Trust Instrument and Bylaws of the
Trust, as amended, the proceedings of its Trustees relating to the
authorization, issuance and proposed sale of the Shares and such other
records and documents as we have deemed relevant. Based upon such
examination, it is our opinion that upon the issuance and sale of the
146,265,319.253 Shares in the manner contemplated by the aforesaid
Registration Statement, as amended, such Shares were validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable outstanding Shares of the Trust.
