Commissioners:
I refer to the Form 24f-2 dated February 21, 1997 with respect to the
Registration Statements on Form N-1A relating to Transamerica Investors, Inc,
File Nos. 811-9010 and 33-90888. The initial Registration Statement registered
an indefinite number of securities of the Fund pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Form 24f-2 makes definite the
amount of securities of the Fund which were so registered under the Registration
Statements.
I have examined and relied upon copies of the Registration Statements and all
amendments thereto, as well as the Form 24f-2, and I have examined and relied
upon originals, or copies certified to my satisfaction, of such corporate
records, documents, certificates and other instruments as in my judgment are
necessary or appropriate to enable me to render the opinion set forth below.
Based on the foregoing, I am of the opinion that the shares of the Fund, the
registration of which the Form 24f-2 makes definite in amount, were duly
authorized and legally issued, and are fully-paid and nonassessable.
I hereby consent to the use of this opinion in connection with the filing of the
attached Form 24f-2.
Very truly yours,
Reid A. Evers
Secretary
