I. GENERAL POLICY

 

SEI Investments Global Funds Services (“SIGFS”) provides fund accounting and administration services to investment companies that are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In addition, certain employees of SEI or their affiliates serve as directors and/or officers of certain Investment Vehicles. As used herein, “Investment Vehicle” refers to any registered investment company for which SEI provides fund administration or accounting services. This Code of Ethics (“Code”) sets forth the procedures and restrictions governing the personal securities transactions for SEI personnel.

 

SEI has a highly ethical business culture and expects that all personnel will conduct any personal securities transactions consistent with this Code and in such a manner as to avoid any actual or potential conflict of interest or abuse of a position of trust and responsibility. Thus, SEI personnel must conduct themselves and their personal securities transactions in a manner that does not create conflicts of interest with the firm’s clients.

 

Pursuant to this Code, certain SEI personnel, their family members, and other persons associated with SIGFS will be subject to various requirements for their personal securities transactions based on their status as defined by this Code. Therefore, it is important that every person pay special attention to the categories set forth to determine which provisions of this Code applies to him or her, as well as to the sections on restrictions, preclearance, and reporting of personal securities transactions.

 

Each person subject to this Code must read and retain a copy of this Code and agree to abide by its terms. Failure to comply with the provisions of this Code may result in the imposition of serious sanctions, including, but not limited to, disgorgement of profits, penalties, dismissal, substantial personal liability and/or referral to regulatory or law enforcement agencies.

 

Please note that all SEI personnel are also subject to the Code of Conduct of SEI Investments Company, which is the parent company of SIGFS. The requirements and limitations of this Code of Ethics are in addition to any requirements or limitations contained in the Code of Conduct. In addition, employees of SIGFS are subject to all other applicable compliance policies and procedures adopted by those entities. All employees are required to comply with federal securities laws.

 

Any questions regarding this Code of Ethics should be directed to a member of the SEI Compliance Department. Jim Volk (610-676-3107) and Keith Dietel (610-676-2407) are the primary contacts.

II. CODE OF ETHICS

 

A. Purpose of Code

 

This Code is intended to conform to the provisions of Section 17(j) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“the 1940 Act”), as amended, and Rule 17j-1 there under, as amended, to the extent applicable to SEI’s role as fund accountant and administrator to Investment Vehicles. Those provisions of the U.S. securities laws are designed to prevent persons who are actively engaged in the management, portfolio selection or underwriting of registered investment companies from participating in fraudulent, deceptive or manipulative acts, practices or courses of conduct in connection with the purchase or sale of securities held or to be acquired by such accounts. Certain SEI personnel will be subject to various requirements based on their responsibilities within SEI and accessibility to certain information. Those functions are set forth in the categories below.

 

B. Employee Categories

 

1. Access Person:

 

(A)       Any director, officer or employee of SEI or their affiliates who serves as a director or officer of an Investment Vehicle; and

 

(B)       Any director, officer or employee of SEI who, in connection with his or her regular functions or duties, obtains information concerning recommendations to an Investment Vehicle with regard to the purchase or sale of Covered Securities, or obtains prior or contemporaneous information regarding the purchase or sale of Covered Securities by an Investment Vehicle.

 

2. Administration Personnel:

 

Any director, officer or employee of SEI whose principal function or duties relate to the provision of fund accounting or fund administration services by SEI to any Investment Vehicle, and who is not an Access Person.

 

C. Prohibitions and Restrictions

 

1.  Prohibition Against Fraud, Deceit and Manipulation

 

Access Persons and Administration Personnel may not, directly or indirectly, in connection with the purchase or sale of a security held or to be acquired by an Investment Vehicle:

 

a.              employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud the Investment Vehicle for which SEI provides fund accounting or administration services;

 

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

 

c.               engage in any act, practice or course of business that operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon the Investment Vehicle; or

 

d.              engage in any manipulative practice with respect to the Investment Vehicle.

 

2. Excessive Trading of Mutual Fund Shares

 

Access Persons and Administration Personnel may not, directly or indirectly, engage in excessive short-term trading of shares of Investment Vehicles, except for money market funds. Exhibit 6 hereto

 

3



 

provides a list of the Investment Vehicles for which SEI provides such services. For purposes of this section, a person’s trades shall be considered “excessive” if made in violation of any stated policy in the fund’s prospectus or if the trading involves multiple short-term round trip trades in a Fund for the purpose of taking advantage of short-term market movements.

 

D. Pre-Clearance of Personal Securities Transactions

 

1.  Transactions Required to be Pre-Cleared:

 

·                  Access Persons and Administration Personnel must pre-clear with the SEI Compliance Officer or the designated representative of the SEI Compliance Department a proposed transaction in a Covered Security if he or she has actual knowledge at the time of the transaction that, during the 24 hour period immediately preceding or following the transaction, the Covered Security was purchased or sold or was being considered for purchase or sale by any Investment Vehicle. The pre-clearance obligation applies to all Accounts held in the person’s name or in the name of others in which they hold a Beneficial Ownership interest. Note that, among other things, this means that these persons must pre-clear such proposed securities transactions by their spouse or domestic partner, minor children, and relatives who reside in the person’s household. No  transaction in Covered Securities may be effected without prior written approval, except those set forth below in Section D.2 which lists the securities transactions that do not require preclearance.

 

·                  The SEI Compliance Officer or designated representative of the SEI Compliance Department may authorize a Pre-clearing Person to conduct the requested trade upon determining that the transaction for which pre-clearance is requested would not result in a conflict of interest or violate any other policy embodied in this Code. Factors to be considered may include: the discussion with the requesting person as to the background for the exemption request, the requesting person’s work role, the size and holding period of the requesting person’s position in the security, the market capitalization of the issuer, the liquidity of the security, the reason for the requesting person’s requested transaction, the amount and timing of client trading in the same or a related security, and other relevant factors. The person granting the authorization must document the basis for the authorization.

 

2.  Transactions that do not have to be pre-cleared:

 

·                  purchases or sales over which the person pre-clearing the transactions (the “Pre-clearing Person”) has no direct or indirect influence or control;

 

·                  purchases, sales or other acquisitions of Covered Securities which are non-volitional on the part of the Pre-clearing Person or any Investment Vehicle, such as purchases or sales upon exercise or puts or calls written by Pre-clearing Person, sales from a margin account pursuant to a bona fide margin call, stock dividends, stock splits, mergers consolidations, spin-offs, or other similar corporate reorganizations or distributions;

 

·                  purchases or withdrawals made pursuant to an Automatic Investment Program; however, any transaction that overrides the preset schedule or allocations of the automatic investment plan must be reported in a quarterly transaction report;

 

·                  purchases effected upon the exercise of rights issued by an issuer pro rata to all holders of a class of its securities, to the extent such rights were acquired for such issuer; and

 

·                  acquisitions of Covered Securities through gifts or bequests.

 

4



 

3.  Pre-clearance Procedures:

 

·                  All requests for pre-clearance of securities transactions must be submitted to the SEI Compliance Officer or designated representative of the SEI Compliance Department by using the SEI Automated Pre-Clearance Trading system.

 

·                  The following information must be provided for each request:

 

a.              Name, date, phone extension and job title; and

 

b.              Transaction detail, i.e. whether the transaction is a buy or sell; the security name and security type; number of shares; price; date acquired if a sale; and whether the security is traded in a portfolio or Investment Vehicle, part of an initial public offering, or part of a private placement transaction.

 

·                  The SEI Compliance Officer or designated representative of the SEI Compliance Department will notify the requesting person whether the trading request is approved or denied through the SEI Automated Pre-Clearance Trading system.

 

·                  A Pre-clearance Request should not be submitted for a transaction that the requesting person does not intend to execute.

 

·                  Pre-clearance trading authorization is valid from the time when approval is granted through the next business day. If the transaction is not executed within this period, an explanation of why the previous pre-cleared transaction was not completed must be submitted to the SEI Compliance department or entered into the SEI Automated Pre-clearance Trading system. Also, Open and Limit Orders must be resubmitted for pre-clearance approval if not executed within the permitted time period.

 

·                  The SEI Compliance Officer or designated representative of the SEI Compliance Department can grant exemptions from the personal trading restrictions in this Code (with the exception of pre-clearance obligations) upon determining that the transaction for which an exemption is requested would not result in a conflict of interest or violate any other policy embodied in this Code. Factors to be considered may include: the discussion with the requesting person as to the background for the exemption request, the certification of the requesting person as to his or her lack of knowledge of transactions by Investment Vehicles for which SEI provides fund accounting or administration services, the requesting person’s work role, the size and holding period of the person’s position in the security, the market capitalization of the issuer, the liquidity of the security, the reason for the requested transaction, the amount and timing of client trading in the same or a related security, and other relevant factors. The person granting the exemption must document all exemptions.

 

·                  The SEI Compliance Department will maintain pre-clearance records and records of exemptions granted for 5 years.

 

E. Reporting Requirements

Trades in SEI Funds transacted through the SEI Capital Accumulation (401(k)) Plan and trades transacted through an employee account established at SEI Private Trust Company will be deemed to satisfy the reporting requirements of the Code. You do not need to report separately with respect to those accounts. However, any trades in SEI Funds transacted in a different channel must be reported to the SEI Compliance Officer or the designated representative of the SEI Compliance Department.

 

1.                                      Duplicate Brokerage Statements (Access Persons)

Failure of a broker/dealer to send duplicate statements will not excuse a violation of this Section.

 

·                  A sample letter instructing the broker/dealer firms to send the statements to SEI is included as Exhibit 1A of this Code. If the broker/dealer requires a letter authorizing an SEI employee to open an account, a sample of that type of permission letter may also be found in Exhibit 1B. Please complete the necessary brokerage information and forward a signature ready copy to the SEI Compliance Officer.

 

·                  If no such duplicate statement can be supplied, the employee should contact the SEI Compliance Department.
