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,
Advisor Class Common Stock and Class Z 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 February 28, 2019, pursuant to paragraph (b) of Rule 485
under the Securities Act (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 applicable 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, as applicable, 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.



                                                   Very truly yours,


                                                   /s/ Seward & Kissel LLP
