IBJ Funds Trust

Columbus, OH 43219
Dear Sirs:
We refer to the Rule 24f-2 Notice (the "Rule 24f-2 Notice"), with respect
to Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 (the "Post-Effective Amendment") to the
Registration Statement on Form N-1A relating to the shares of beneficial
interest, per value $.001 per Share, of IBJ Funds Trust, a Delaware business
trust (the "Trust"). The Post-Effective Amendment registered an indefinite
number of shares of beneficial interest of the Trust pursuant to Rule 24f-2
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Rule 24f-2 Notice
makes definite the number of shares of beneficial interest of the Trust sold
during the Trust's fiscal year ended November 30, 1996 that were so registered
under the Post-Effective Amendment.
We have examined and relied upon copies of the Post-Effective Amendment and
the Rule 24f-2 Notice and have examined and relied upon originals, or copies
certified to our satisfaction, of such corporate records, documents,
certificates and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or
appropriate to enable us to render the opinion set forth below.
Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the shares of beneficial
interest of the Trust, the registration of which the Rule 24f-2 Notice makes
definite in number, were duly authorized, legally issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.
We hereby consent to the use of this opinion in connection with the filing
of the Rule 24f-2 Notice. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that
we come within the category of persons whose consent is required under section 7
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Baker & McKenzie
