1.   Introduction

 

  1.1. The RWC Code of Ethics (the ‘Code’) is based on fundamental principles that RWC must put client interests first. RWC has fiduciary responsibilities to its client, including the private funds (collectively the ‘clients’) for which it serves as investment adviser. Among RWC’s fiduciary responsibilities is the responsibility to ensure that its staff conduct their personal account dealing in a manner which does not interfere or appear to interfere with any client transactions or otherwise take unfair advantage of their relationship to clients as well as comply with all applicable laws. All staff must adhere to these fundamental principles as well as comply with the specific provisions set forth herein.

 

  1.2. The Code of Ethics (the ‘Code’) is adopted pursuant to Rule 204A-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (‘Advisers Act’) and Rule 17j-1 of the Investment Company act of 1940Additoinally, the Code complies with the rules of other regulatory authorities that regulate RWC, including the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the Monetary Authority of Singapore (“MAS”), and any other applicable US securities laws.

 

  1.3. The Advisers Act makes it unlawful for investment advisers to engage in fraudulent personal securities transactions (commonly referred to within RWC as ‘personal account dealing’).

 

  1.4. Rule 204A-1 (the ‘Rule’) under the Advisers Act requires an investment adviser covered by the Rule to adopt a Code that contains provisions reasonably necessary to prevent it and its Access Persons from engaging in conduct prohibited by the principles of the Rule.

 

-The Rule also requires that reasonable diligence be used and procedures instituted which help prevent violations of the Code 1.5 RWC will provide the Code and any amendments to staff and obtain written acknowledgment of receipt.

3.  Insider Trading

 

  3.1. All staff are subject to RWC’s Policy regarding the misuse of material non-public information (the ‘Market Conduct Policy’), which is considered an integral part of this Code.

 

  3.2. The Market Conduct Policy prohibits staff from buying or selling any security while in the possession of material non-public price sensitive information (‘MNPPSI’).

 

  3.3. The policy also prohibits staff from communicating to third parties any MNPPSI about any security or issuer of securities.

 

  3.4. Additionally, no member of staff may use inside information about RWC’s activities to benefit clients or gain personal benefit.

 

  3.5. Any violation of the Market Conduct Policy may result in sanctions which could include termination of employment with RWC.

  4.2. It is the responsibility of every member of staff to ensure that a particular personal account deal being considered is not subject to a restriction contained in this Code, by any other RWC policy or procedure, or otherwise prohibited by any applicable laws.

 

  4.3. PAD may be carried out only in accordance with the provisions of this Code and the RWC PAD Policy.Pre clearance is required for any PAD unless exempt under the PAD policy in Appendix 1

 

  4.4. For the avoidance of doubt, staff members are strictly prohibited from PA dealing in the issuers or securities included on the RWC Restricted List.

  4.7. Staff members associated directly with the activist strategies are prohibited from PA dealing in the same positions as the funds they manage. In the event that a member of the constructive activist team owns a security prior to employment at RWC, and such security is held in an activist fund, the team member will not be allowed to trade in the position at all until such time that the constructive activist fund has exited the position.

  7.2 To prevent RWC from being excluded from managing money for US public bodies, it is important that any employees do not make any US political donations to a public official or candidate for such office in excess of $150 which represents the de minimis amount for the rule.

 

  7.3 Therefore, all Investment and Distribution employees must obtain approval from The Chief Compliance Officer prior to making any US political contributions to a public official or candidate for such office.

13 | 7

  9.3.

An exception to any of the policies, restrictions, or requirements set forth herein may be granted only if you are able to demonstrate that you would suffer extreme hardship should an exception not be granted.

Appendix 1 – PAD Policy

 

1.   Introduction

 

  1.1. Our regulators attach significant importance to the systems and controls we have in place to identify, mitigate and detect market abuse risks. Part of these expectations are that we have robust controls around PAD given the likelihood of market sensitive information we handle.

 

  1.2. As such, it is vitally important that every staff member is aware of, and follows, the requirements of the policy.

 

  1.3. The Firm’s policy on PAD is intended to help prevent perceived, potential or actual conflicts of interests that can arise from such activity between the staff, the Firm, and its clients.

 

  1.4. RWC actively discourages frequent, excessive, or short term PAD or any other activity that may present a conflict of interest. This is for a number of reasons but primarily:

 

  1.4.a. It may potentially bring the individual’s personal position into conflict with the Firm or its clients;

 

  1.4.b. It can detract from the individual’s attention to their and the firm’s duties and responsibilities to clients and the job at hand;

 

  1.5. However, RWC recognises that staff may need to manage their assets and long term investment needs. Therefore PAD is permitted within the prescribed limits in this policy which is designed to ensure RWC and its staff continue to meet their regulatory, legal and fiduciary obligations, including putting clients’ interest first.

 

  1.6. In addition to PAD, this policy also requires staff to disclose details of investments held by them and other Relevant Persons, as required by regulations.

 

  1.7. You are expected to promptly inform Compliance as soon as you are aware of any failure to adhere to this policy and its principles and procedures. Compliance reviews and deals with breaches of this policy on a case by case basis. Breaches of the Firm’s policies and procedures can result in disciplinary action which may be grounds for summary dismissal.

 

  1.8. RWC has implemented the My Compliance Office (MCO) system to assist employees with compliance with PAD requirements.

3.   Periodic Disclosures

 

  3.1. All PAD disclosures are required to be made through the MCO system. Please note that if your brokerage firm has a direct feed into MCO, all of your holdings will prepopulate.

  3.4. Annual Holding Disclosure

 

  3.4.a. In addition to the Initial Holdings Disclosure, you are also required to complete these disclosures annually. You will receive an email from Compliance the week before the year end as a reminder that they are due and you will be required to submit it within 30 days of year end.

  4.3.d. Provided there are no apparent issues or concerns with the PAD request, and it has cleared Compliance’s checks (and the restrictions noted further below), your request will be approved.

 

  4.3.e. Compliance approval is valid for current and next business/trading day from the time shown on the approval email unless indicated otherwise. Exceptions will be only granted on a case by case basis – if you require more than the above time to carry out the PAD, please ensure you have notified Compliance at the time of the request.

 

  4.4. If you proceed with the PA request, you are required to upload a copy of the trade confirmation to MCO as soon as possible. If your account is connected via an automatic feed you will not be required to submit a trade conformation to MCO as this data will auto populate. If you do not proceed for any reason, please inform Compliance as well.

5.   Permitted and not permitted transactions

13 | 12 

 

  5.9. PAD may not be permitted if you have not submitted your initial and periodic disclosures to Compliance, systematically do not provide timely trade confirmations as required, or breach the principles or written policy on a frequent basis.

  

  5.10. The use of stop losses is not permitted as these may be used to circumvent the 90 day minimum holding period.

 

5.11.Employees may not enter into any wager or gaming contract (i.e. spread betting) the outcome of which is dependent on any financial index, security or investment.

 

5.12.PAD is not permitted in the following circumstances (regardless of the type of instrument used to make the investment):

5.14.The above is non-exhaustive list.
