Re: Lexington Strategic Investments Fund, Inc.
Registration No. 2-51641
Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Lexington Strategic Investments Fund,
Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the public
offering of the Company's shares of Common Stock, par value $.001, and on
various other securities and general corporate matters. We understand that,
pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Company
has registered an indefinite number of shares of Common Stock under the
Securities Act of 1933. We further understand that, pursuant to the
provisions of Rule 24f-2, the Company is filing with the Securities and
Exchange Commission the Notice attached hereto making definite the
registration of shares of Common Stock (the "Shares"), sold in reliance upon
Rule 24f-2 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997.
We have reviewed, insofar as it relates or pertains to the Company,
the Company's Registration Statement on Form N-1A filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended to the date hereof, pursuant to which Shares
were sold (the "Registration Statement"). We have also examined originals
or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of such
documents, corporate records and other instruments we have deemed necessary
or appropriate for the purpose of this opinion. For purposes of such
examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and original
documents and the conformity to the original documents of all copies
submitted.
We are members only of the New York Bar and do not purport to be
experts on the laws of any other state. Our opinion herein as to Maryland
law is based upon a limited inquiry thereof which we have deemed appropriate
under the circumstances.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares
have been duly and validly authorized and, assuming that the Shares have been
issued and sold in accordance with the Company's Articles of Incorporation and
Registration Statement, and that the consideration received therefor was not
less than the par value thereof, the Shares which the Rule 24f-2 Notice
attached hereto makes definite in number were legally issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.
We consent to the filing of this opinion with the Rule 24f-2 Notice
attached hereto.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel
