Re: Rule 24f-2 Notice for State Street Research Securities Trust
Securities Act File No. 33-74628
Investment Company Act File No. 811-8322
Ladies and Gentlemen:
As counsel to State Street Research Securities Trust (the "Registrant"), we
have been requested to render this opinion in connection with the filing by the
Registrant of a Rule 24f-2 Notice on Form 24F-2 with respect to its fiscal year
ended April 30, 1997.
Reference is made to Item 10 of such Notice wherein the Registrant reports
the number of shares (the "Shares") representing interests in State Street
Research Intermediate Bond Fund and State Street Research Strategic Income Fund,
each a series of the Registrant, sold during the fiscal year ended April 30,
1997 in reliance upon Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended.
We have examined the Registrant's Master Trust Agreement dated January 25,
1994, as amended, the By-Laws of the Registrant, as amended, the Rule 24f-2
Notice of the Registrant dated June 30, 1997, certain resolutions adopted by the
Trustees of the Registrant, and such other documents as we deemed necessary for
purposes of this opinion.
We have made such examination of Massachusetts law as in our judgment is
necessary and appropriate for the purposes of this opinion. Members of this firm
are admitted to practice in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and certain other
jurisdictions; however, we render no opinion herein with respect to the laws of
any jurisdiction other than the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Nothing contained
herein shall be deemed to be an opinion as to any law other than the laws of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Anything in this opinion to the contrary notwithstanding, we render or
imply no opinion with respect to compliance with any applicable securities or
anti-fraud statutes, rules, regulations or other similar laws of any state
(including Massachusetts) or the United States of America.
Based upon the foregoing, and assuming that all of the Shares were sold,
issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the applicable Prospectus
and Statement of Additional Information contained in the Registrant's
Registration Statement on Form N-1A in effect at the time of sale, in our
opinion the Shares were legally issued and fully paid and non-assessable by the
Registrant.
Very truly yours,
/s/ GOODWIN, PROCTER & HOAR LLP
