1. Summary

This Code of Ethics for JPMAM (the “Code”) has been adopted by the registered investment advisers of JPMAM in accordance with Rule 204A-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”). Rule 204A-1 requires an investment adviser registered under section 203 of the Advisers Act to establish, maintain and enforce a written Code of Ethics that, at minimum includes:

1. Standards of business conduct that are required of Supervised Persons and reflect the investment adviser’s fiduciary obligations to clients;

2. Provisions requiring Supervised Persons to comply with applicable Federal Securities Laws;

3. Provisions requiring all Access Persons to report their personal securities transactions and holding periodically to the investment adviser for review;

4. Provisions requiring Supervised Persons to report any violation of the Code of Ethics promptly to the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”), or to other persons designated in the Code of Ethics; and

5. Provisions requiring the investment adviser to provide Supervised Persons with a copy of this Code and any amendments, and requiring Supervised Persons to provide written acknowledgement of receipt of the Code of Ethics and any amendments

While all J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (“JPMC”) employees, including JPMAM Supervised Persons are subject to the Personal Trading Policies under the JPMC Code of Conduct, this Code establishes more stringent standards reflecting the fiduciary obligations of JPMAM and its Supervised Persons. In the event that a difference exists between any of the standards identified in the above referenced documents, the more restrictive provisions shall apply.

JPMAM hereby designates the staff of its Compliance Department to act as designees for the respective CCOs of the JPMAM registered investment advisers in administering this Code. Any questions regarding the Code or its application should contact the Compliance Department via email at JPMAM.Compliance.Mailbox@jpmorgan.com.

2. Amendments to Previous Version Distributed May 6, 2014

• Designated Broker Requirement (Section 7.1)

• Updated the Designated Broker List to include TD Ameritrade and Wells Fargo

• Defined Terms

• Updated the definition of “JPMAM” to include the Investment Advisors.

3. Scope

It is the duty of all Supervised Persons to place the interests of JPMAM clients before their own personal interests at all times and to avoid any actual or potential conflicts of interest. Given the potential access to Proprietary and Client information that Supervised Persons may have, JPMAM and its Supervised Persons must avoid even the appearance of impropriety with respect to personal trading, which must be oriented toward investment rather than short-term or speculative trading. Supervised Persons must also comply with applicable Federal Securities Laws and report any violations of the Code promptly to the Compliance Department, which shall report any such violation promptly to the CCO.

Access Persons must report their personal securities transactions and holdings each quarter to JPMAM for review. (See Section 5 for details regarding reporting procedures)

Compliance with the Code, and other applicable policies and procedures, is a condition of employment. The rules, procedures, reporting and recordkeeping requirements set forth in the Code are hereby adopted and certified as reasonable necessary to prevent employees from violating the provisions of the Code. Failure by a Supervised Person to comply with the Code may adversely impact JPMAM and may constitute a violation of Federal Securities Laws.

The Compliance Department shall distribute a copy of the Code and any amendments to all Supervised Persons in a quarterly basis. Receipt of the Code and its amendments shall be acknowledged in writing by the Supervised Person. Written acknowledgements shall be maintained by the Compliance Department in accordance with Escalation Guidelines in section 12. Books and Records are to be maintained by the Compliance Department. The form of acknowledgment shall be determined by the Compliance Department.

Annually, each CCO must review the adequacy of the Code and the policies and the procedures herein referenced.

4. Policy Statements

7.2. Blackout Provisions

The personal trading and investment activities of Supervised Persons are subject to particular scrutiny due to the fiduciary nature of the business. Specifically, JPMAM must avoid even the appearance that its Supervised Persons conduct personal transactions in a manner that conflicts with the firm’s investment activities on behalf of clients. Accordingly, Supervised Persons may be restricted from conducting personal investment transactions during certain periods (called “Blackout Periods”), and may be instructed to reverse previously completed personal investment transactions. Additionally, the Compliance Department may restrict the personal trading activity of any Supervised Person if it is determined that such activity has the appearance of violating the intent of the blackout provision or is deemed to present a possible conflict of interest.

The Blackout Periods set forth in the Personal Trading Policy may reflect varying levels of restriction appropriate for different categories of Supervised Persons based upon their level of access to non-public Client or Proprietary information.

7.3. Minimum Investment Holding Period and Market Timing Prohibition

As set forth under the Personal Trading Policy, Supervised Persons are subject to a minimum holding period, as set forth under the Personal Trading Policy, for all transactions in Reportable Securities and Reportable Funds.

Supervised Persons are not permitted to conduct transactions for the purpose of market timing in any Reportable Security or Reportable Fund. Market timing is defined as an investment strategy using frequent purchases, redemptions, and/or exchanges in an attempt to profit from short-term market movements.

Please see the Personal Trading Policy for further details on transactions covered or exempted from the minimum investment holding period.

7.4. Trade Reversals and Disciplinary Action

Transactions by Supervised Persons are subject to reversal due to a conflict (or appearance of a conflict) with the firm’s fiduciary responsibility or a violation of the Code or the Personal Trading Policy. Such a reversal may be required even for a pre-cleared transaction that results in an inadvertent conflict or a breach of black out period requirements under the Personal Trading Policy.

Disciplinary actions resulting from a violation of the Code will be administered in accordance with related JPMAM policies governing disciplinary action and escalation. All violations and disciplinary actions will be reported promptly by the Compliance Department to the employee’s group head and senior management. Violations will be reported at least quarterly to the firm’s executive committee and, where applicable, to the directors or trustees of an affected Fund.

Violations by Supervised Persons of any laws that relate to JPMAM’s operation of its business or any failure to cooperate with an internal investigation may result in disciplinary action up to and including immediate dismissal and, if applicable, termination of regulatory registration.

8. Books and Records to be Maintained by Investment Advisers

The Compliance Department is responsible for maintaining books and records, including:

a) A copy of this Code and any other code of ethics adopted by JPMAM pursuant to Rule 204A-1 that is in effect or has been in effect at any time within the past five years;

b) A record of any violation of the Code, and any action taken as a result of that violation;

c) A record of all written acknowledgments for each person who is currently, or within the past five years was, a Supervised Person of JPMAM;

d) A record of each report made by an Access Persons required under the Reporting Requirements;

e) A record of the names of persons who are currently, or within the past five years were, Access Persons;

f) A record of any decision, and the reasons supporting the decision, to approve the acquisition of securities by Supervised Persons under section 6. Pre-approval records of certain investments will be maintained, for at least five years after the end of the fiscal year in which the approval is granted; and

g) Any other such record as may be required under the Code or the Personal Trading Policy.

9. Privacy

Supervised Persons have a responsibility to protect the confidentiality of information related to Clients. This responsibility may be imposed by law, may arise out of agreements with Clients, or may be based on policies or practices adopted by the firm. Certain jurisdictions have regulations relating specifically to the privacy of individuals and/or business and institutional customers. Various business units and geographic areas within JPMC have internal policies regarding customer privacy.

JPMAM and its Supervised Persons must comply with all provisions under the Bank Secrecy Act, the USA Patriot Act and all other applicable Federal Securities Laws, as well as applicable Anti-Money Laundering and Know Your Client policies, procedures and training requirements of JPMAM and JPMC.

10. Conflicts of Interest

10.1. Trading in Securities of Clients

Supervised Persons shall not transact in any securities of a Client with which the Supervised Person has or recently had significant dealings or responsibility on behalf of JPMAM if such investment could be perceived as effected based on confidential information, including material non-public information.

10.2. Trading in Securities of Suppliers

Supervised Persons in possession of information regarding, or directly involved in negotiating, a contract material to a supplier of JPMAM may not invest in the securities of such supplier. If you own the securities of a company with which we are dealing and you are asked to represent JPMorgan Chase in such dealings you must:

a) Disclose this fact to your department head and the Compliance Department; and

b) Obtain prior approval from the Compliance Department before selling such securities.

10.3. Pre-clearance Procedures for Value-Added Investors

Prior to any telephone calls, video, and in-person meetings between a Portfolio Manager or employee arranging the meeting and a Value-Added Investor who is meeting to discuss his/her personal investment (or prospective investment) in the JPMAM Private Investment Fund managed by the Portfolio Manager, the Portfolio Manager must obtain preclearance from Compliance. In order to obtain preclearance approval, the following information must be provided to Compliance prior to the meeting:

a) Date and place of meeting;

b) Name of Value-added Investor, their employer, and job title;

c) Name of private fund the Value-Added Investor is invested in (or may invest in);

d) Names of all J.P. Morgan employees in attendance at the meeting and job titles;

e) Purpose of the meeting.

Compliance will respond via email and will ensure that appropriate controls are instituted.

10.4. Gifts

A conflict of interest occurs when the personal interests of Supervised Persons interfere or could potentially interfere with their responsibilities to the firm and its Clients. Supervised Persons should not accept inappropriate gifts, favors, entertainment, special accommodations, or other things of material value that could influence their decision-making or make them feel beholden to a person or firm. Similarly, Supervised Persons should not offer gifts, favors, entertainment or other things of value that could be viewed as overly generous or aimed at influencing decision-making or making a Client feel beholden to the firm or the Supervised Person. Guidelines that are more specific are set forth under the JPMC Code of Conduct and the JPM Investment Management Americas Gift and Entertainment Policy. Supervised Persons are required to log all gifts subject to reporting into the JPMAM Gift, Entertainment and Political Contributions Database for approval and any violations of the Policy are subject to the Escalation Guidelines.

10.5. Entertainment

No Supervised Person may provide or accept extravagant or excessive entertainment to or from a Client, prospective client, or any person or entity that does or seeks to do business with or on behalf of JPMAM. Supervised Persons may provide or accept a business entertainment event, such as dinner or a sporting event, of reasonable value, if the person or entity providing the entertainment is present, and only to the extent that such entertainment is permissible under the JPMC Code of Conduct and the JPM Investment Management Americas Gift and Entertainment Policy. Supervised Persons are required to log all entertainment subject to reporting into the JPMAM Gift, Entertainment and Political Contributions Database for approval and any violations of the Policy are subject to the Escalation Guidelines.

10.6. Political Contributions and Activities

JPMorgan Chase has a strict policy that forbids political contributions made on behalf of JPMC, unless pre-approved. Supervised Persons are prohibited from making political contributions for the purpose of obtaining or retaining advisory contracts with government entities. In addition, Supervised Persons are prohibited from considering JPMAM’s current or anticipated business relationships as a factor in making political or charitable donations. Additional requirements, restrictions, and other disclosures regarding all political activities are described under the JPMC Code of Conduct and the Political Contributions and Activities Policy for Investment Management Americas. Supervised Persons are required to pre-clear all political contributions subject to the policy into the PATROL application and any violations of the Policy are subject to the Escalation Guidelines. Contributions to the JPMorgan Political Action Committees are excluded from pre-clearance and reporting requirements.

10.7. Charitable Contributions

Charitable contributions made on behalf of the Firm must adhere to the JPMC Global Philanthropy Policy.

10.8. Outside Business Activities

A Supervised Person’s outside activities must not reflect adversely on the firm or give rise to a real or apparent conflict of interest with the Supervised Person’s duties to the firm or its Clients. Supervised Persons must be aware of potential conflicts of interest and be aware that they may be asked to discontinue any outside activity if a potential conflict arises. Supervised Persons may not, directly or indirectly:

a) Accept a business opportunity from someone doing business or seeking to do business with JPMAM that is made available to the Supervised Person because of the individual’s position with the firm.

b) Take for oneself a business opportunity belonging to the firm.

c) Engage in a business opportunity that competes with any of the firm’s businesses.

More specific guidelines are set forth under the Conflicts of Interest Policy of JPMAM and under the JPMC Code of Conduct. Procedures for pre-clearance of these activities by Compliance and the JPMC Office of the Secretary are available in the JPMC Procedures for Pre-clearance of Outside Activities referenced in the JPMC Code of Conduct.

If any material change in relevant circumstances occurs, Supervised Persons must seek clearance for a previously approved activity. A material change may arise from a change in your job or association with JPMAM or in your role with respect to that activity or organization. JPMAM employees are required to be continually alert to any real or apparent conflicts of interest with respect to investment management activities and promptly disclose any such conflicts to Compliance and the Office of the Secretary. Employees must also notify the Office of the Secretary when any approved outside activity terminates.

Regardless of whether an activity is specifically addressed under JPMAM policies or the JPMC Code of Conduct, Supervised Persons should disclose any personal interest that might present a conflict of interest or harm the reputation of the firm.

11. Training

All employees of the firm are required to take several mandatory training courses given each year by Compliance (e.g., AML, Privacy, and Code of Conduct). Failure to attend and/or complete required Compliance training courses will be subject to the Escalation Guidelines.

12. Escalation Guidelines

Escalation Guidelines are applicable to all employees of JPMAM and are maintained by Compliance. The Escalation Guidelines document is an internal Compliance document and is used to notify Group Heads, Managers and/or Human Resources (HR) of appropriate action that should be taken.

12.1. Violation Prior to Material Violation

While the Group Head is notified of all violations, he/she is required to have a meeting with the employee when the employees’ next violation would be considered material, in order to stress the importance of the requirement and inform the employee about the ramifications for not following the policy. The employee is also required to acknowledge, in writing, (form to be provided by Compliance) that he/she is aware of the ramifications for noncompliance and he/she will be compliant going forward. The written acknowledgement is signed by both the employee and Group Head, and returned to Compliance for record keeping.

12.2. Material Violations

All material violations require the Group Head and HR to have a meeting with the employee and to document the meeting specifics in the employee’s personnel file. The employee will be required to acknowledge in writing the material nature of the violation and that he/she will be compliant going forward. The written acknowledgement, signed by the employee, Group Head and HR, will be returned to Compliance for record keeping.

There will be a mandated suspension of personal trading privileges for six months for all material violations of the Personal Trading Policy or Access Persons reporting requirement. Compliance and the Group Head may allow transactions for hardship reasons, but require documentation for pre-clearance.

A list of all individuals who have received material violations will be circulated to the appropriate Group Head and Senior Management on a periodic basis and may be a factor in the employee’s annual compensation.
