	Re:	Thornburg Investment Trust (the “Trust”)
		File Nos. 33-14905/811-05201
		Post-Effective Amendment Nos. 135 and 148

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel for the Trust, a trust duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in connection with post-effective amendment no. 135 (“PEA 135”) to its registration statement on Form N-1A (the “Registration Statement”) relating to the issuance and sale by the Trust of an indefinite number of authorized shares of beneficial interest under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. We have examined such governmental and corporate certificates and records as we deemed necessary to render this opinion and we are familiar with the Trust’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust and the Amendments and Supplements thereto to date, and its Bylaws.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the shares of beneficial interest of the Trust’s series proposed to be sold pursuant to the Registration Statement, when paid for as contemplated in the Registration Statement, will be legally and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and to the references made to the firm of April, Dolan & Hickey, P.C. in PEA 135 to be dated on or about September 30, 2020 and in any revised or amended versions thereof. In giving such consent, however, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required by Section 7 of the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

PEA 135 is filed in accordance with Rule 485(b) under the 1933 Act. This letter is our representation to the SEC in accordance with paragraph (b)(4) of Rule 485 that PEA 135 does not contain disclosures that would render it ineligible to become effective under Rule 485(b).

Please contact me if you have any questions.

	Sincerely,

	/s/ Daniel April
