(a) | Effective November 12, 2019, the Board of Trustees approved a change in fiscal year end for the Fund from June 30 to December 31. |
(b) | Per share numbers have been calculated using average shares outstanding, which more appropriately presents the per share data for the year. |
(c) | Amounts shown in this caption for a share outstanding may not accord with the change in aggregate gains and losses in securities for the fiscal period because of the timing of sales and repurchases of Fund shares in relation to fluctuating market values for the Fund. |
(d) | Total return is calculated assuming a purchase of shares at net asset value on the first day and a sale at net asset value on the last day of each period reported. Distributions are assumed, for the purpose of this calculation, to be reinvested at net asset value per share on the respective payment dates of each distribution. Total returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized. Broker commission charges are not included in this calculation. |
(e) | If an Affiliate had not made a contribution during the year ended December 31, 2022, the total return would have been (11.93)%. |
(f) | If an Affiliate had not made a contribution during the year ended June 30, 2019, the total return would have been 7.66%. |
(g) | Annualized. |
(h) | Portfolio turnover rate excludes securities received or delivered from in-kind processing of creations or redemptions. |

(e) | Total return is calculated assuming a purchase of shares at net asset value on the first day and a sale at net asset value on the last day of each period reported.

The Audit Committee may delegate to one or more of its members the authority to grant pre-approvals. Any decision of any member to whom authority is delegated under this section shall be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting; |
or
(b) | The engagement to render the audit, audit-related or permissible non-audit service is entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the Audit Committee.

A copy of any such policies and procedures shall be attached as an exhibit to the Audit Committee Charter. |
(c) | Pre-Approval for a service provided to the Trust other than audit or audit-related services is not required if: (1) the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services provided to the Trust constitutes not more than five percent (5%) of the total amount of revenues paid by the Trust to the independent auditors during the fiscal year in which the permissible non-audit services are provided; (2) such services were not recognized by the Trust at the time of the engagement to be permissible non-audit services; and (3) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and are approved by the Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit. |
(d) | The Audit Committee shall pre-approve any permissible non-audit services proposed to be provided by the independent auditors to (a) the investment adviser and (b) any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Trust, if the independent auditors engagement with the investment adviser or any such control persons relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Trust. It shall be the responsibility of the independent auditors to notify the Audit Committee of any permissible non-audit services that need to be pre-approved. |
Notwithstanding the above, Pre-Approval for any permissible non-audit services under this Sub-section is not required if: (1) the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services constitutes not more than five percent (5%) of the total amount of revenues paid to the independent auditors by the Trust and any other entity that has its services approved under this Section (i.e., the investment adviser or any control person) during the fiscal year in which the permissible non-audit services are provided; (2) such services were not recognized by the Trust at the time of the engagement to be permissible non-audit services; and (3) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee and are approved by the Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of the audit.

CODE OF CONDUCT FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND
PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL OFFICERS
I. | Covered Officers/Purpose of the Code |
This Code of Conduct (the Code) shall apply to each Trusts Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, Controller, Principal Accounting Officer and persons performing similar functions (the Covered Officers, each of whom is named in Exhibit A attached hereto) for the purpose of promoting:
| honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; |
| full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that each Trust files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and in other public communications made by the Trust; |
| compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations; |
| the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and |
| accountability for adherence to the Code. |
Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.
II. | Covered Officers Should Handle Ethically Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest |
Overview. A conflict of interest occurs when a Covered Officers private interest interferes with the interests of, or his or her service to, a Trust. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position with a Trust. Covered Officers must avoid conduct that conflicts, or appears to conflict, with their duties to a Trust. All Covered Officers should conduct themselves such that a reasonable observer would have no grounds for belief that a conflict of interest exists. Covered Officers are not permitted to self-deal or otherwise use their positions with a Trust to further their own or any other related persons business opportunities.
This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace the compliance programs and procedures or codes of ethics of each Trust or each Trusts investment adviser (the Adviser)1 or distributor.
Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts may arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between a Trust and its service providers, including Adviser, of which the Covered Officers may be officers or employees. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for a Trust, the Adviser, or other service providers), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the service providers and the Trusts. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between a Trust and its service providers and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Trust. Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (Investment Company Act) and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (Investment Advisers Act), such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by each Trusts Board of Trustees (the Board) that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this or other codes.
The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of a Trust.
* * * *
Each Covered Officer must not:
| use his or her personal influence or personal relationship improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by a Trust whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Trust; |
| cause a Trust to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit of the Trust; |
| retaliate against any other Covered Officer or any employee of a Trust or its affiliated persons for reports of potential violations by the Trust of applicable rules and regulations that are made in good faith; or |
| use material non-public knowledge of portfolio transactions made or contemplated for the series of a Trust to trade personally or cause others to trade personally in contemplation of the market effect of such transactions. |
1 | Any reference to Adviser with respect to a Trust may include reference to any investment sub-adviser for a series of the Trust. |
Each Covered Officer must discuss certain material conflict of interest situations with a Trusts Audit Committee. Examples of such situations include:
| service as a director, trustee, general partner, or officer of any unaffiliated business organization. This rule does not apply to charitable, civic, religious, public, political, or social organizations, the activities of which do not conflict with the interests of a Trust; |
| the receipt of any gifts, excluding branded promotional items valued at U.S. 50$ or less; |
| the receipt of any entertainment from any company with which a Trust has current or prospective business dealings unless such entertainment is business-related, reasonable in cost, appropriate as to time and place, and not so frequent as raise any question of impropriety; |
| any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of a Trusts service providers, other than its Adviser, principal underwriter, administrator, sub-administrator, transfer agent, custodian or any affiliated person thereof; and |
| a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by a Trust for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Officers employment, such as compensation or equity ownership. |
III. | Disclosure and Conduct |
| Each Covered Officer will monitor the compliance of each Trust and the Trusts service providers with federal or state statutes, regulations or administrative procedures that affect the operation of the Trust. |
| Each Covered Officer should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about a Trust to others, whether within or outside the Trust, including to the Trusts Board, the Trusts Audit Committee, the Trusts independent auditors, governmental regulators, self-regulators and self-regulatory organizations. |
| Each Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his or her area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of a Trust and its service providers with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Trust files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Trust. |
| Each Covered Officer will exhibit and promote the highest standards of honest and ethical conduct through the establishment and operation of policies and procedures that encourage professional integrity in all aspects of each Trusts operations. |
IV. | Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations |
| Each Trusts Audit Committee is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation, including providing any approvals or waivers sought by the Covered Persons. |
| It is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations. |
| In the event of any question of interpretation of the requirements under this Code, Covered Officers shall consult with the Audit Committee in order to assure compliance with the Code. |
V. | Reporting and Accountability |
Each Covered Officer must:
| upon adoption of this Code (or thereafter as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), sign and return a report in the form of Exhibit B to each Trusts compliance officer affirming that he or she has received, read, and understands the Code; |
| annually sign and return a report in the form of Exhibit C to each Trusts compliance officer as an affirmation that he or she has complied with the requirements of the Code; and |
| notify a Trusts Audit Committee promptly if he or she knows of any violation of this Code. Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code. |
The Audit Committee will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:
| The Audit Committee will take all appropriate actions to investigate any potential violations reported to the Committee. |
| If, after such investigation, the Audit Committee believes that no violation has occurred, the Audit Committee is not required to take any further action. |
| Any matter that the Audit Committee believes is a violation of this Code will be reported to the full Board. |
| If the Board concurs that a violation has occurred, it will notify the appropriate personnel of the applicable service provider and may dismiss the Covered Officer as an officer of the Trusts. |
| The Audit Committee will be responsible for granting waivers of provisions of this Code, as appropriate. |
| Any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules. |
VI. | Other Policies and Procedures |
This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by each Trusts for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other policies or procedures of each Trust, each Trusts Adviser, principal underwriter, or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code. The Trusts Advisers and principal underwriters codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act and the Advisers more detailed policies and procedures are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part of this Code.
VII. | Amendments |
Any amendments to this Code, other than amendments to Exhibit A, must be approved or ratified by a majority vote of the Board, including a majority of Independent Trustees.
VIII. | Confidentiality |
All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the Trusts Board or Audit Committee.
IX. | Internal Use |
The Code is intended solely for the internal use by each Trust and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of a Trust, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.
