NORTHPOINTE CAPITAL, LLC

CODE OF ETHICS

NorthPointe Capital LLC, (the “Adviser”) has adopted this Code of Ethics (the “Code”), in accordance with Rule 17j-1 (the “Rule”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “Act”) with respect to mutual fund Clients, and Rule 204A-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”), with respect to all other Clients. Rule 17j-1 and Rule 204A-1 are, collectively, referred to herein as the “Rule.”

The Rule makes it unlawful for certain employees in connection with the purchase or sale by such persons of securities held or to be acquired by any Client (defined below) within the Rule’s scope:

1. to employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud such Client;

2. to make to the Client any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state to a Client a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading;

3. to engage in any act, practice or course of business which operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon such Client; or

4. to engage in a manipulative practice with respect to such Client.

While affirming its confidence in the integrity and good faith of all of its employees, officers, directors and Advisory Persons (as defined below) of the Adviser, the Adviser recognizes that certain personnel have or may have knowledge of present or future portfolio transactions and, in certain instances, the power to influence portfolio transactions made by Clients. Furthermore, if such individuals engage in personal Covered Securities transactions, these individuals could be in a position where their personal interests may conflict with the interests of Clients. Accordingly, this Code is designed to prevent conduct that could create an actual or potential conflict of interest with any Client.

Furthermore, any NorthPointe employee who is a Member or Candidate for the CFA Program must adhere to the CFA Institute Code and Standards as detailed by the CFA Institute.

A. DEFINITIONS

1) “Access Person” means any director, officer, Advisory Person or employee of the Adviser as well as any other person that the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) determines to be an Access Person. An Access Person shall not include any person who the CCO determines to be an Exempt-Access Person. The CCO maintains records of the status of all relevant persons under the Code, and will inform each such person about that person’s status as necessary.

2) “Advisory Person” means:

(a) any employee of an Adviser (or of any company in a control relationship to an Adviser) who, in connection with his or her regular functions or duties, makes, participates in, has access to or obtains information regarding the purchase or sale of a Covered Security by a Client, or whose functions relate to the making of any recommendations with respect to such purchases or sales; or

(b) any natural person in a control relationship to an Adviser who obtains information concerning recommendations made to a Client with regard to the purchase or sale of Covered Securities by the Client.

3) “Beneficial ownership” shall be interpreted in the same manner as it would be in determining whether a person is considered a “beneficial owner” as defined in Rule 16a-1(a)(2) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which generally speaking, encompasses those situations where the beneficial owner has or shares the opportunity, directly or indirectly, to profit or share in any profit derived from a transaction in Covered Securities.

A person is normally regarded as the beneficial owner of Covered Securities with respect to:

(a) Covered securities that are held by the individual or by members of the individual’s immediate family sharing the same household (including, but not limited to a husband, wife, domestic partner, minor child or relative);

(b) The person’s interest in Covered Securities held in a discretionary or trust account; or

(c) The person’s right to acquire equity Covered Securities through the exercise or conversion of stock options, warrants or convertible debt, whether or not presently exercisable; or

(d) All other Covered Securities held in any other account for which the person has investment discretion or authority.

4) “Broad Based Indices” means an index designed to reflect the movement of the entire market and tracks companies in a broad number of industries. Instead of companies from just one industry, broad based market indices will have companies representing many industries.

B. STATEMENT OF GENERAL PRINCIPLES AND STANDARD OF CONDUCT

It is the duty of all Covered Persons to place the interests of our Clients first at all times. Consistent with that duty, all Covered Persons must (1) conduct all personal Covered Securities transactions in a manner that is consistent with this Code of Ethics; (2) avoid any actual or potential conflict of personal interest with the interests of our Clients; (3) adhere to the fundamental standard that they should not take inappropriate advantage of their positions of trust and responsibility; (4) safeguard material non-public information about Client transactions including disclosure of portfolio holdings; and (5) comply with all federal securities laws.

Code of Ethics

April 1, 2012

Page 4

This Code of Ethics applies to transactions in Covered Securities for the accounts of all Covered Persons and any other accounts in which they have any beneficial ownership. It imposes certain investment restrictions and prohibitions and requires the reports set forth below. If Covered Persons become(s) aware of material non-public information or if a Client is active in a given Covered Security, some personnel may find themselves “frozen” in a position. The Adviser will not bear any losses in personal accounts resulting from the implementation of any portion of the Code of Ethics.

It is the policy of the Adviser that any personal trading should not interfere with an employee’s professional duties and should never compromise the Adviser’s fiduciary duty to its Clients. An employee who spends a significant amount of the business day trading for his or her own account is not placing the interests of the Adviser’s clients first. It is the duty of each employee to conduct personal trading activities within the letter and spirit of the Code.

C. GENERAL PROHIBITIONS

1) All Covered Persons shall keep all information pertaining to Clients’ portfolio transactions and holdings confidential. No person with access to Covered Securities holdings, recommendations or pending securities transactions and holdings should disclose this information to any person, unless such disclosure is made in connection with his or her regular functions or duties. Special care should be taken to avoid discussing confidential information in circumstances, which would disclose this information to anyone who would not have access to such information in the normal course of events.

2) No Covered Person shall utilize information concerning prospective or actual portfolio transactions in any manner that might prove detrimental to the interests of a Client.

3) No Covered Person shall purchase, sell, or exchange shares of any series of a Fund while in possession of material non-public information concerning the portfolio holdings of any series of the Fund.

4) No Covered Person shall use his or her position for his or her personal benefit or attempt to cause a Client to purchase, sell or hold a particular Covered Security when that action may reasonably be expected to create a personal benefit for the Covered Person.

5) No Covered Person shall selectively disclose “non-public” information concerning the portfolio holdings of any Client to anyone who does not have a legitimate business need for such information that is consistent with the interests of our Client accounts, and the Adviser’s Portfolio Holding Disclosure Policy.

6) No Covered Person shall engage in any act, practice or course of conduct, which would violate applicable provisions of the Rules.

Code of Ethics

7) No Covered Person shall engage in, or help others engage in, market timing in any shares of Funds that have a policy against market timing. This prohibition does not apply to short-term transactions in money market funds, unless these transactions are part of a market timing strategy of other Funds, nor does it apply to contributions to a 401(k) program, an automatic reinvestment program, or the short term investment in a mutual fund which imposes a fee on short term transactions. However, this program does apply to internal transfers within a 401(k) program to the extent such transactions violate a Fund’s policy against market timing. Any profits derived by a Covered Person as a result of such impermissible market timing may be subject to disgorgement at the discretion of the CCO.

8) No Covered Person shall engage in, or help others engage in, late trading of Funds for any purpose. Late trading is defined as entering or canceling any buy, sell, transfer, or change order after the close of the regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) or such other time designated in a Fund’s prospectus as the timing of calculation of the Fund’s net asset value.

9) No Covered Person shall make any political contributions for the purpose of obtaining or retaining advisory contracts with government entities.

D. PERSONAL TRADING RESTRICTIONS

1) Short Selling

Access Persons are not permitted to enter into short sales of covered securities (excludes inverse ETF’s)

2) Initial Public Offerings (“IPOs”)

Access Persons are generally prohibited from acquiring any Covered Securities in an IPO. Access Persons may, however, request and receive approval to participate in an IPO in certain limited circumstances. In approving any such request, the onus for substantiating and documenting compliance with the Code of Ethics rests on the individual seeking approval. Notwithstanding submission of substantiating documentation, approval may be withheld if reviewing Compliance personnel believe that an actual or potential conflict of interest exists with respect to any Client. Approval to invest in an IPO shall be valid for a period of time stated in the approval, but may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Access Person’s purchase in an IPO.

3) Private Placements

Access Persons investing in private placements of any kind must obtain written prior approval from the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Chief Compliance Officer (CCO). In determining whether to grant such prior approval, both the CEO and the CCO shall determine (among other factors) whether the investment opportunity should be reserved for a Client(s), and whether the opportunity is being offered to the individual by

Code of Ethics

April 1, 2012

Page 6

virtue of his or her position with an Adviser. Access Persons, who have been authorized to acquire Covered Securities in a private placement must disclose such investment when they are involved in, or have knowledge of, any subsequent consideration of an investment by a Client in that issuer. In such circumstances, the CEO or designee with no personal interest in the particular issuer shall independently review the Client’s decision to purchase that issuer’s Covered Securities. This provision shall not apply to private offerings (funds) sponsored by the Adviser, as there is presumed knowledge and approval.

4) Covered Securities Subject to an Embargo

Access Persons are not permitted to deal in any Covered Security upon which the Adviser has placed, for any reason, an embargo.

5) Pre-clearance

All Access Persons are required to pre-clear transactions in all Covered Securities, including certain transactions in Reportable Funds, (excluding those securities exempted under Section D (9), money market funds, and Reportable Funds if purchased through an automatic contribution or reinvestment program (such as a 401(k) contribution, or non-public invesetment funds sponsored and advised by the Adviser) provided that the initial position is disclosed on the Initial Holdings Report or the initial acquisition of such security is pre-cleared).

Requests for pre-clearance should be made in writing via E-mail to the CCO or through the PTCC system. Pre-clearance requests must include the type of transaction (e.g., buy or sell), the security name, security symbol, and the brokerage account name and account number.

Transactions should not be placed for execution until pre-clearance approval has been received. Pre-clearance approval is good only for the day received; therefore, orders should be placed as market or day limit orders.

If for any reason the trade is not executed on the day on which pre-clearance approval is received, the Access Person must submit a new request and receive approval prior to placing any subsequent order.

6) 30 Day Holding Period

All Access Persons must maintain any position in a Reportable Fund, with the exception of money market funds, for at least 30 calendar days before they can be sold or exchanged. Exceptions to this policy will be considered in hardship situations, but must be approved in writing, in advance by the Chief Compliance Officer or designee.

Code of Ethics

April 1, 2012

Page 7

Additionally, Investment Personnel shall not profit from the purchase and sale, or sale and purchase, of the same (or equivalent) Covered Securities within thirty (30) calendar days. Trades made in violation of this policy should be unwound, if possible. Investment Persons are responsible for monitoring their own trading activities to comply with the 30-Day Holding Period requirement. Any violation of the foregoing restriction may result in disgorgement of all profits from the transactions, as well as other possible sanctions. For purposes of this section, calculation of holding period and, therefore, profits, will be based on a “last-in, first-out” (LIFO) basis.

7) Blackout Period

(a) Same Day

Access Persons are prohibited from executing any personal Covered Securities transaction, excluding transactions in Reportable Funds, on a day when a Client has a pending buy or sell order in that same Covered Security.

(b) Seven Day

All Investment Personnel are prohibited from executing any personal Covered Securities transactions, excluding transactions in Reportable Funds, within seven (7) calendar days before or after the day any Client advised by the particular investment person or their team (ie. Growth team) trades in that Covered Security.

(c) Trades made in violation of these blackout periods should be unwound, if possible. Any violation of the foregoing restrictions may result in disgorgement of all profits from the transactions, as well as other possible sanctions.

8) Exempted Transactions

The prohibitions of Section (D)(6) Pre-Clearance, (D)(7) 30 Day Holding Period, and (D)(8) Blackout Period, of this Code of Ethics shall not apply to:

(a) Purchases or sales effected in any account over which the Access Person or Investment Personnel has no direct or indirect influence, control or investment discretion or authority;

(b) purchases or sales which are non-volitional¹ on the part of the Access Person, Investment Personnel or a Client;

(c) subsequent purchases which are made through an automatic dividend reinvestment or automatic direct purchase plan;

¹  Non-volitional purchases or sales include those transactions, which do not involve a willing act or conscious decision on the part of the director, officer or employee. For example, shares received or disposed of by Access Persons or Investment Personnel in a merger, recapitalization or similar transaction are considered non-volitional, as well as the assignment/exercise of options).

Code of Ethics

April 1, 2012

Page 8

(d) purchases effected upon the exercise of rights issued by an issuer pro-rata to all holders of a class of its Covered Securities, to the extent such rights were acquired from such issuer, and sales of such rights so acquired;

(e) purchases or sales effected by the Adviser on behalf of other Client accounts managed by such Adviser;

(f) gifts of securities to a Covered Person over which the Covered Person has no control of the timing; or,

(g) purchases or sales of securities traded on a national exchange whose values are based upon the value or changes in value of broad based indices, any exchange traded funds or any international index funds.

9) Gifts

No Covered Person shall seek or accept anything of more than de minimis value, either directly or indirectly, from broker-dealers or other persons, which to the actual knowledge of the Access Persons, do business or might do business with a Client or the Adviser. For purposes of this provision, the following gifts will not be considered to be in violation of this section: (a) an occasional meal; (b) an occasional ticket to a sporting event, the theater or comparable entertainment; and (c) other gifts of nominal cost.

10) Board of Directors

Investment Personnel are prohibited from serving on the boards of directors of publicly traded companies, absent receiving prior authorization from the Chief Compliance Officer. Such authorization should be based upon a determination that the board service would be consistent with the interests of Clients advised by the employee. Where service on a board of directors is authorized, Investment Personnel serving as directors should be isolated from those making investment decisions regarding the company through “Chinese Wall” procedures.

E. MARKET TIMING

All Covered Persons are expected to read and understand the definition of “Market Timing” (Section A (11)) and adhere to the Code’s specific requirements in this regard. Market Timing is prohibited in any Fund; if it is determined that personal trading activities violate these restrictions, the Adviser reserves the right to impose such sanctions as deemed appropriate.

To ensure that the Code’s requirements are met and to comply with the SEC’s objective for enhanced disclosure, all Access Persons must report on a quarterly basis to the Chief Compliance Officer certain transactions in Reportable Funds (excluding money market funds) in all accounts for which you have Beneficial Ownership. On-going purchases made through an automatic contribution or reinvestment program (such as a 401k program) are not required to be reported provided that the initial position has been disclosed or reported on the Initial Holdings Report, Quarterly Transaction Report and / or the Annual Holdings Report.

Code of Ethics

• Noncompliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations;

• Fraud or illegal acts involving any aspect of the Adviser’s business;

• Material misstatements in regulatory filings, internal books and records, client records or reports;

• Activity that is harmful to clients; and,

• Deviations from required controls and procedures that safeguard clients and the Adviser.

All reports of violations will be treated confidentially to the extent permitted by law and investigated promptly and appropriately. Retaliation against any Covered Person who reports a violation in good faith is prohibited and constitutes a further violation of the Code.

I. ANNUAL REPORTING TO INVESTMENT COMPANY CLIENTS

The Adviser shall prepare a written annual report relating to its Code of Ethics to the board of each investment company Client for which it acts as investment adviser or sub-adviser. Such annual report shall:

J. SANCTIONS

Covered Persons are expected to observe the highest standards of professional conduct when conducting their business and may be held personally liable for any improper or illegal acts committed during their employment. Upon discovering a violation of the Code, the Chief Compliance Officer and/or the Boards may impose such sanctions, as they deem appropriate, including, among other things, issuing a letter of censure, suspending or terminating the employment of the violator, or referring the matter to the appropriate regulatory or governmental authority.

The Adviser in its sole and absolute discretion, reserves the right to direct you to cancel or unwind any trade at your expense. From time to time, you may also have your positions frozen due to potential conflicts of interest or the appearance of impropriety. The Adviser may, in its sole and absolute discretion, suspend or revoke your trading privileges at any time.

As a firm, our commitment to integrity and ethical behavior remains constant. Every one of us, every day, must reflect the highest standards of professional conduct and personal integrity. Good judgment and the desire to do what is right are the foundation of our reputation.

Code of Ethics
