CODE OF ETHICS

I.            Covered Officers/Purpose of the Code

This Sarbanes-Oxley Code of Ethics (“Code”) applies to each Fund’s Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, and Controller, or persons performing similar functions elected by the Funds (the “Covered Officers”) for the purposes 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 a registrant files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Funds;

        •      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 Officer’s private interest interferes with the interests of, or his or her service to, the Funds. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of the officer’s family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of a position with the Funds.

Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Funds 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 Funds because of their status as “affiliated persons” of the Funds. The Funds’ and the investment adviser’s compliance programs and procedures are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. This Code does not, and is not intended to, replace these

 programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code (see Section VI below).

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts may arise from the contractual relationships between the Funds and the investment adviser (or advisory affiliates) 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, be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the adviser and the Funds. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Funds and the adviser and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Funds. 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. In addition, it is recognized by each Fund’s Board of Directors (each a “Board” and collectively the “Boards”) that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this or other codes.

Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act. 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 the Funds.

             Each Covered Officer must:

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

(b)      not cause the Funds to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit the Funds;

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

There are some conflict of interest situations that should always be discussed by Covered Officers with the Funds’ Chief Legal Officer, if material. Examples of these conflict of interest situations include:

       •      service as a director on the board of any public or private company;

       •      the receipt of any gift, gratuity, favor award or other item or benefit having a market value in excess of $100 per person, per year, from or on behalf of any person or entity that does, or seeks to do, business with or on behalf of the Funds. Business-related entertainment such as meals, tickets to the theater or a sporting event which are infrequent and of a non-lavish nature are excepted from this prohibition;

       •      any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Funds’ service providers, other than its investment adviser, principal underwriter or any of their affiliates; and

       •      a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by the Funds 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.

III.            Disclosure and Compliance

(a)      Each Covered Officer should become familiar with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Funds.

(b)      Each Covered Officer should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Funds to others, whether within or outside the Funds, including to the Funds’ directors and auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations.

(c)      Each Covered Officer should, 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 the Funds file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Funds.

(d)      It is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

Notwithstanding (a) through (d) above, (i) each Covered Officer is entitled to rely upon procedures adopted by the Funds and their affiliates (including their investment adviser, sub-advisers, principal underwriter, transfer agent and custodian) that are intended to ensure accurate and timely filing of documents with the SEC or communications with the public, and (ii) Covered Officers do not have a duty to ensure the Funds’ compliance in areas outside of their span of control (for example, the Principal Financial Officer shall not have any duties with respect to compliance issues delegated to the adviser’s Legal Department, Compliance Department, Marketing Department, etc.).

IV.            Reporting and Accountability

             Each Covered Officer must:

(a)      upon adoption of the Code (or thereafter as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), affirm in writing to the Boards that he or she has received, read, and understands the Code;

(b)      annually thereafter affirm to the Boards that he or she has complied with the requirements of the Code;

(c)      report at least annually all affiliations or other relationships related to conflicts of interest that are included and described in the Funds’ Directors and Officers Questionnaires.

(d)      not retaliate against any other Covered Officer or any employee of the Funds or their affiliated persons for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith; and

(e)      notify the Funds’ Chief Legal Officer promptly if he or she knows of any violation of this Code. Failure to do so is itself a violation of the Code.

V.            Enforcement of Code

The Funds’ Chief Legal Officer 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. The Chief Legal Officer is authorized to consult, as appropriate, with the Chairperson of the Audit Committee, counsel to the Funds and independent legal counsel to the independent directors (as defined in Rule 0-1(a)(6) of the Investment Company Act). However, any approvals or waivers sought by any Covered Officer will be considered by the Audit Committee of the affected Fund (the “Committee”).

             The Funds will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:

(a)      the Chief Legal Officer will take all appropriate action to investigate any reported potential violations;

(b)      if, after such investigation, the Chief Legal Officer believes that no material violation has occurred, the Chief Legal Officer is not required to take any further action;

(c)      any matter that the Chief Legal Officer believes is a material violation will be reported to the Committee;

(d)      if the Committee concurs that a material violation has occurred, it will consider appropriate action, which may include review of, and appropriate modifications to, applicable policies and procedures; notification to appropriate personnel of the investment adviser or its board; monetary sanctions based on making a Fund whole for damage suffered or to deter further actions; or a recommendation to suspend or dismiss the Covered Officer;

(e)      the Committee will be responsible for granting waivers, as appropriate;

(f)       all waivers shall be accompanied by a written memorandum, including to whom the waiver was granted, the details of the waiver, the nature and scope of the waiver, reasoning for the waiver and the date of the waiver; and

(g)      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 the Funds 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 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 and principal underwriter’s Code of Ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act and the adviser’s more detailed policies and procedures are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part of this Code.

VII.            Amendments

(a)      This Code was initially adopted by a majority of both Boards (including a majority of the Independent Directors voting separately).

(b)      Any material amendments to this Code, other than amendments to Exhibit A, must be approved or ratified by a majority vote of both Boards, including a majority of Independent Directors voting separately.

(c)      A copy of each version of the Code and all waivers under the Code shall be maintained for at least six (6) years following the end of the fiscal year in which the amendment or waiver occurred.

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 appropriate Board and its independent counsel.

VIII.            Filing

Each Fund shall file a copy of this Code as an exhibit to its annual report on Form N-CSR, and shall similarly file and report all material, substantive amendments to this Code.
