This Code of Ethics (the “Code”) has been adopted by the Board of Trustees of Century Capital Management Trust (the “Trust”), on behalf of each series of the Trust (the “Funds”) and applies to the Funds’ Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer (the “Covered Officers”, as listed in Exhibit A). The purpose of this Code is to:

·	promote full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a registrant files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Company;

A “conflict of interest” occurs when a Covered Officer’s private interest interferes with the interests of, or his or her service to, the Trust. Covered Officers may not improperly use their position with a Fund for personal or private gain to themselves, their family, or any other person. They may not use their position to influence decisions on matters related to the operations of the Fund where they would benefit personally at the Fund’s expense or to the Fund’s detriment. Covered Officers may not cause the Fund to take action, or refrain from taking action, for their personal benefit at the Fund’s expense or to the Fund’s detriment.

Certain conflicts of interest may arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Trust and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“Investment Company Act”) and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Investment Advisers Act”). For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Trust because of their status as “affiliated persons” of the Trust. The Trust’s and the investment adviser’s compliance programs and procedures are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts may arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Trust and the investment adviser of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Trust or for the adviser, or for both), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the adviser and the Trust. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Trust and the adviser 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 and the Investment Advisers Act, such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically.

Covered Officers should avoid actual conflicts of interest and the appearance of conflicts of interest beyond those covered by the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act. The following list provides examples of possible 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 interests of the Funds.

·	not use his or her personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by the Trust whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Trust;

·	not use material non-public knowledge of portfolio transactions made or contemplated for the Trust to trade personally or cause others to trade personally in contemplation of the market effect of such transactions.

·	the receipt of any entertainment from any company with which the Trust has current or prospective business dealings unless such entertainment is businessrelated, reasonable in cost, appropriate as to time and place, and not so frequent as to raise any question of impropriety;

·	any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Trust’s service providers, other than its investment adviser, principal underwriter, administrator or any affiliated person thereof;

·	a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by the Trust for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer’s employment, such as compensation or equity ownership.

Each Covered Officer should familiarize himself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Trust and, to the extent appropriate within his or her area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the Funds and the adviser with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents that the Funds file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Funds. A Covered Officer should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Trust to others, whether within or outside the Trust, including to the Trust’s directors and auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations.

Each Covered Officer must comply with all laws, rules and regulations, and policies and procedures that apply to his or her role, responsibilities and duties with respect to the Trust. Further, it is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

Each Covered Officer must affirm in writing to the Board that he or she has received, read, and understands this Code and, annually thereafter, that he has complied with it. Understanding and complying with this Code is the obligation of each Covered Officer.

The CCO will take all appropriate action to investigate any potential violation of this Code. If, after investigation, the CCO believes that no violation has occurred, no further action is required. If, after investigation, the CCO believes that a violation has occurred, the CCO will report such violation to the Trust’s Ethics Oversight Committee. If the Committee concurs that a violation has occurred, it will inform the Board and present a recommendation for appropriate action.

A Covered Officer may request a waiver from this Code by submitting a written request for a waiver to the CCO, who will then present the request to the Trust’s Oversight Committee for consideration. The Committee will determine whether to grant the waiver. The CCO will be responsible for making any required disclosures related to waivers granted.

This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Funds for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Funds, the Funds’ 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 Funds’ and their investment adviser’s codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part of this Code.

Any amendments to this Code, other than amendments to Exhibit A, must be approved or ratified by a majority vote of the Board. The CCO will be responsible for making any required disclosures related to amendments to this Code.

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 Board and counsel to the Trust and the investment adviser.
