Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel for each of the corporations named above (each, a
"Company," and collectively, the "Companies"), in connection with the
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), of an indefinite number of shares, par value per share as set forth in
each Company's Charter, of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, Class C
Common Stock, Class R Common Stock, Class K Common Stock, Class I Common Stock
and Advisor Class Common Stock, as applicable (each a "Class" and collectively
the "Shares"), of each Company. Each Company is a Maryland corporation and is
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end
management investment company. This opinion is rendered to each Company
severally, and not to the Companies jointly.

     As counsel for a Company, we have participated in the preparation of the
Post-Effective Amendment to that Company's Registration Statement on Form N-1A
to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") to
become effective on November 2, 2009 (as so amended, the "Registration
Statement") in which this letter is included as Exhibit (i). We have examined
the Charter and By-laws of that Company and any amendments and supplements
thereto and have relied upon such corporate records of that Company and such
other documents and certificates as to factual matters as we have deemed
necessary to render the opinion expressed herein.

     Based on such examination, we are of the opinion that the Shares of each
Company to be offered for sale pursuant to the Registration Statement of that
Company are, to the extent of the numbers of Shares of the relevant Classes of
each Company authorized to be issued by that Company in its Charter, duly
authorized, and, when sold, issued and paid for as contemplated by the
Registration Statement, will have been validly issued and will be fully paid and
non-assessable under the laws of the State of Maryland.

     We do not express an opinion with respect to any laws other than the laws
of Maryland applicable to the due authorization, valid issuance and
non-assessability of shares of common stock of corporations formed pursuant to
the provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law. Accordingly, our opinion
does not extend to, among other laws, the federal securities laws or the
securities or "blue sky" laws of Maryland or any other jurisdiction. Members of
this firm are admitted to the bars of the State of New York and the District of
Columbia.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the
caption "General Information--Counsel" in Part B thereof. In giving this
consent, we do not thereby admit that we are included in the category of persons
whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and
regulations of the Commission.

                                        Very truly yours,

                                        /s/ Seward & Kissel LLP
