Page | 5

 
 
B)  
Notwithstanding the above, it shall not be a violation of the Adviser’s Code if an Access Person recommends to, or causes or attempts to cause, Client Accounts or the Trust to engage in any transaction concerning a security (or related interest) held by the Access Person through a Discretionary Account before the Access Person knows that he or she is the direct or indirect beneficial owner of such security (or related interest).
 
C)  
Limited Offerings and Initial Public Offerings:
 
1)  
No Access Person shall acquire direct or indirect beneficial ownership of an unregistered security issued in a Limited Offering or an Initial Public Offering without pre-clearance by the Compliance Officer.
 
2)  
Under normal circumstances, such approval will not be withheld if the Access Person demonstrates that:
 
(a)  
the investment is not suitable for the Trust or any of the Client Accounts;
 
(b)  
the investment opportunity was unique to the individual circumstances of the Access Person; and
 
(c)  
no overreaching would or could occur.
 
Access Persons who have been authorized to acquire securities in an Initial Public Offering or Limited Offering must disclose their investment to the Compliance Officer if the Access Person participates in any way in the subsequent decision by the Adviser to purchase or sell that same security for the Trust or a Client Account.

The Managing Partners of the Adviser shall notify the Compliance Officer of the exemption.  Any Access Person granted an exemption (including, an exception for an affiliate of such person), pursuant to this Section shall, within three business days after engaging in a purchase or sale of a security held or to be acquired by a client, furnish the Compliance Officer with a written report concerning such transaction, setting forth the information specified in Section IV.C hereof.

Employees and their respective affiliates, shall conduct themselves in a manner consistent with high ethical standards.  They shall avoid any action, whether for personal profit or otherwise, that results in an actual or potential conflict of interest with the Adviser or the Client Accounts, or the appearance of a conflict of interest, which may be otherwise detrimental to the interests of the Adviser or the Client Accounts, including the GoodHaven Fund.  Notwithstanding the above provision, nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent the firm or its Managing Partners or employees from purchasing or selling the same or different securities as those purchased or sold for Client Accounts so long as such purchases or sales do not materially disadvantage any Client, are consistent with the Code and these Procedures, and the actions are in furtherance of the firm’s principle that Managing Partners, and employees to the extent practicable or advisable, shall be willing to invest in the same securities they recommend to Clients.
 
 
B.
Every Employee, in making any investment recommendation or taking any investment action, shall exercise diligence and thoroughness, and shall have a reasonable and adequate basis for any such recommendations or action.
 
 
C.
No Employee shall undertake independent practice for compensation in competition with the Adviser or GoodHaven Fund.  Employees must obtain pre-approval from the Chief Compliance Officer, after disclosure of all relevant facts, before engaging in outside business activities that compete with the Adviser or the Fund or which require significant time of the Employee.
 
 
D.
No Employee shall improperly use for their own benefit any knowledge, whether obtained through such person’s relationship with the Adviser or GoodHaven Fund or otherwise, of any investment recommendation made or to be made, or of any investment action taken or to be taken, by the Adviser for the Adviser’s Client Accounts.
 
 
E.
Employees shall act in a manner consistent with their fiduciary obligation to Client Accounts.  As permitted in the Code of Ethics and by law or regulation, employees may participate in block trades alongside Client Accounts or in general buy or sell lists formulated by GoodHaven that apply to all accounts.  In all such cases, preclearance of a prospective trade must be cleared by a Compliance Officer.
 
 
F.
An Employee having discretion as to the selection of broker-dealers to execute securities transactions for a Client Account shall select broker-dealers on the basis of the services provided directly or indirectly by such broker-dealers to Client Accounts and the capabilities and suitability of the broker in executing contemplated orders.  An Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, receive a fee or commission from any source in connection with the sale or purchase of any security for a Client Account.  Further, an Employee directing trades to a broker-dealer on behalf of any Fund client of GoodHaven will not take into account that broker-dealers status as a distributor of Fund shares, if applicable.
 
 
 
19

 
 
 
G.
The Adviser shall take all actions reasonably calculated to ensure that the Adviser engages broker-dealers to transact business with the Adviser or GoodHaven  Fund whose partners, officers and employees, and their respective affiliates, will conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.
 
 
H.
Conflicts of interest generally result from a situation in which an individual has personal interests in a matter that is or may be competitive with his responsibilities to another person or entity (such as the Adviser or GoodHaven Fund) or where an individual has or may have competing obligations or responsibilities to two or more persons or entities.  In the case of the relationship between the Adviser or a GoodHaven Fund on the one hand, and its employees and Access Persons and their respective affiliates, on the other hand, such conflicts may result from the purchase or sale of securities for Client Accounts including a GoodHaven Fund and for the account of any affiliated person or from the purchase or sale for Client Accounts or a GoodHaven Fund of securities in which an Access Person or employee of the Adviser or a GoodHaven Fund, or his or her affiliates, has an interest.  In these cases, the first preference and priority should be to avoid conflicts of interest where possible and, where they unavoidably occur, to resolve them in a manner not disadvantageous to the client, including with appropriate disclosure when required.  Notwithstanding the prior sentence, there is no outright prohibition on:
 
a)  
Employees or Access Persons holding shares of companies or affiliated investment companies in which Client Accounts or a GoodHaven Fund are also invested; and
 
b)  
Aggregation of transactions of Employees or Access Persons with Client Accounts so long as
 
 
1.
Such aggregation does not result in a prohibited “affiliated transaction” as defined in the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, except as permitted under rules, regulations or exemptions under each of them, or a “prohibited transaction” under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (except as permitted under rules, regulations and exemptions including class exemptions or any other administrative exemption or relief thereunder); and
 
 
2.
Such aggregation does not materially disadvantage any Client Account.
 
 
 
20

 
 
 
I.
No Access Person shall serve on the board of directors/trustees of publicly traded companies (whether for profit or not for profit) without prior written approval of the Compliance Officer and a Managing Partner of the Adviser.  Any such service shall be subject to the GoodHaven Fund’s policy prohibiting service on the Board of a company in which the Fund invests.
 
3.
Gifts, Entertainment and Contributions
 
 
A.
Gifts. Employees may not accept directly or indirectly from any person or entity that does business with or on behalf of the Adviser or the Client Accounts, any gifts, gratuities or other things of more than $100 in value per year except as otherwise provided herein. All gifts must be pre-approved by the Compliance Officer or her designee (“Pre-approval”).
 
 
B.
Entertainment. Employees may not 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 the Adviser. Employees may provide or accept a business entertainment event, such as dinner or a sporting event, of reasonable value, if the person or entity providing or accepting the entertainment is present. Pre-approval is not required for bona fide dining or entertainment if accompanied by the person providing or accepting the entertainment.
 
 
C.
Improper Payments. Employees may not directly or indirectly offer or solicit any kind of payment or contribution for the purpose of: (i) influencing customers, vendors or public sector employees; (ii) obtaining, giving or keeping business; or (iii) persuading any public sector employee or any employee of another company to fail to perform, or to improperly perform, his or her duties. Any employee who has dealt illicitly with any vendor, customer, client, public sector employee, or person in a similar position for personal gain will be terminated. Any attempt to bribe or other improper proposal should be reported to the Compliance Officer.
 
 
D.
Political Contributions and Activities.  Political activity must occur strictly in an employee’s individual and private capacity and not on behalf of the Adviser.
 
a)  
An employee may not use the Adviser’s resources, financial or otherwise, to support political parties, candidates or causes, unless approved in advance by the Adviser’s Managing Partners and the Compliance Officer.
 
b)  
An employee wishing to run for political office or accept a political appointment must obtain prior written approval from the Adviser’s Managing Partners and the Compliance Officer.
 
c)  
An Employee considering a political contribution should discuss the contribution with the Adviser’s Managing Partners and the Compliance Officer in advance to ensure that the contribution would not actually or by appearance affect the Adviser.Employees and Access Persons may make political contributions to elected officials at the State, County and local levels only if (i) the Employee or Access Person is entitled to vote for such official and (ii) the contributions, in total, do not exceed $250 or foreign currency equivalent to each official, per election. Any deviation from these requirements requires the express written approval of the Compliance Officer and Managing Partners.  Political contributions to federal elected officials are not subject to this restriction but are subject to the limitations imposed by federal election laws.
 
 
 
 
21

 
 
d)  
No persons may be reimbursed directly or indirectly by the Adviser or their control persons, including the Managing Partners, for any political contribution or for their attending any political event.
 
 
E.
The Adviser does not purchase tickets or pay fees for employees to attend an event where any portion of the funds will be used for election campaigns. Using company time or assets (phone, fax, computer) to support an employee’s run for public office or campaigning for a candidate is the equivalent of such a contribution, and is therefore not permitted. However, reasonable time off without pay (with management approval), or the use of vacation time to support these activities is permitted.
 
4.
Preclearance
 
 
A.
Trading.  Except as described below, on the date of a proposed trade in a Reportable Security included on the Adviser’s Restricted List, private placement, or IPO, an Access Person must complete a Pre-clearance Request attached as Exhibit F to the Code of Ethics.
 
 
Requests for pre-clearance will be forwarded to the Chief Compliance Officer, who will review the request and determine whether to approve it. The Access Person and/or the appropriate trading personnel will be notified of the CCO’s decision. To the extent that a pre-clearance involves the related account of the CCO, a Managing Member may review and approve or reject the request.  If a pre-clearance request is approved, such approval will remain in effect for 72 hours.
 
 
No person may approve his or her own pre-clearance request.
 
 
A copy of the approval of a Pre-clearance Request will be maintained by the Compliance Officer.
 

 
B.
Preclearance Reconciliation. Pre-clearance of trades for employee related accounts is required prior to the order entry of any employee related trade.  The CCO reviews each request for pre-clearance excepting those applying to his personal and related accounts, which are reviewed by a Managing Partner of GoodHaven.

When a trade is pre-cleared, the CCO will check the purchase and sale reports on the following day to determine whether or not the order was executed and indicate on the pre-clearance form that the order was executed.
 
 
 
 
22

 
 
As a backup check, following the end of each calendar quarter, a reconciliation will be performed to ensure that all trades requiring pre-clearance followed the procedures set forth in our Code of Ethics procedures.  Quarterly transaction reports generated by the portfolio accounting system are created for all employee-related trades and matched against the outstanding pre-clearance forms.  Any discrepancy will be immediately reported to the CCO and the Managing Partners of GoodHaven.
 
A log will be maintained for every Pre-clearance Form that is generated that tracks the forms and their approval on a daily basis.  This procedure is the responsibility of the Office Manager in the firm, who is not involved in either trading or pre-clearing trades.


 
B.
Political Contributions.  Employees and Access Persons wishing to make political contributions to candidates for election outside the United States must request permission in advance in writing from the Compliance Officer and Managing Partners.  Other election limitation laws apply in foreign countries.  Any such request must be accompanied by relevant local law.
 
 
C.
Outside Business Activities.  All outside business activities require pre-approval by a Managing Member of the firm. Generally, GoodHaven will not approve outside business activities requiring a significant amount of an employee’s time.
 

5. Review Procedures
 
 
A. The Compliance Officer will review the following:
 
1.  
Access Person’s initial holding reports.
 
2.  
 Pre-clearance requests and follow up reports.
 
3.  
Annual holdings or quarterly transactions form if they are manually completed by an Access Person.
 
4.  
Duplicate confirmations and statements.
 
 
B.
The Compliance Officer shall report all material violations of the Code of Ethics to the Managing Partners of the Adviser.  Material violations of the Code will be reported to the GoodHaven Fund’s CCO promptly and all violations, regardless of materiality, will be reported quarterly to the Fund’s CCO.
 
 
C.
If the Managing Partners or a Compliance Officer determines that a violation of the Code of Ethics has occurred, then the Managing Partners or the Compliance Officer shall take any preventive, remedial or other action as it may deem appropriate.
 
 
 
 
23

 
 
 
D.
At least annually, the Compliance Officer or her designee shall compose, and deliver to the Managing Partners of the Adviser, a written report that:
 
a.  
describes any issues arising under the Code of Ethics or these Procedures including but not limited to, any information about material violations of this Code of Ethics, procedures adopted hereunder, and sanctions imposed in response to such material violations; and
b.  
certifies that the Adviser has adopted procedures reasonably necessary to prevent Access Persons from violating this Code of Ethics.

The Chief Compliance Officer shall bring material violations of the Code of Ethics involving GoodHaven Fund to the attention of the Chief Compliance Officer of GoodHaven Fund and its Board of Trustees, as required.

 
 
AMENDMENTS
 
These procedures may be amended from time to time by the Adviser.
