DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:
Enclosed is the report of the operations for the Kansas Municipal Fund, Nebraska Municipal Fund, Oklahoma Municipal Fund, Maine Municipal Fund, and New Hampshire Municipal Fund (each a "Fund", and collectively the "Funds") for the year ended July 31, 2014. Each Fund's portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review.
The latter half of 2013 was a turbulent period for municipal investors. We saw record flows out of municipal bond funds, market-rolling headlines (Detroit bankruptcy - Puerto Rico downgrades), a government shutdown and a rapid rise in yields. Yields on the benchmark 30-year municipals rose over 100 basis points during the period, sparked by the Federal Reserve (the "Fed") hinting at tapering in mid-2013 and officially announcing in mid-December that it would taper its asset purchases by $10 billion starting in January. During the period there were prolonged periods when tax-exempt yields actually exceeded the yields of taxable Treasuries. Investors were clearly concerned about rising rates and bought defensively with a strong preference for maturities five years or less, while the long end of the yield curve rose for much of the period to over 100% of taxable Treasuries.
In the first half of 2014 economic activity slowed due to poor weather conditions throughout the country, as numerous winter storms hit the Midwest and Northeast and significantly below average temperatures impacted the South. The labor market was impacted in the first quarter but improved slightly as weather conditions improved. The economy added 2.5 million jobs since June of last year. Due to signs pointing to an improving economy, the Fed continued tapering its asset purchases. The Fed did note that asset purchases are not on a preset course and their decisions about further purchases would remain contingent on the outlook for the labor market and inflation, however, the Committee would likely reduce the pace of asset purchases in future meetings. Many economists maintain a positive employment outlook calling for the unemployment rate to fall to 5.8% in the first quarter of 2015 with the Fed ending its asset purchases.
The slow growing economy combined with relatively low new issuance of municipal bonds led to lower yields and higher municipal bond prices early in the calendar year. This low issuance is likely the effect of many improving municipalities' balance sheets and having already taken advantage of lower rates and refinancing while rates were historically low. This, combined with a rollover of bonds maturing and being called in the year, led to a supply and demand imbalance which drove municipal prices higher.
Absent meaningful inflation, real rates of return from municipals should prove attractive for investors as we feel municipal bonds will continue to be an attractive asset class among fixed income investors as the federal marginal tax rate for taxpayers with adjusted gross income of $400,000 ($450,000 for married filing jointly) increased to 39.6%. That with the implementation of a new 3.8% Medicare surtax on investment income (municipal income is exempt) favors municipals.
The Kansas Municipal Fund began the period at $10.56 per share and ended the period at $10.85 per share for a total return of 5.81%*. This compares to the Barclays Capital Municipal Index's return of 7.26%. At the end of the period the average weighted coupon and maturity of the Fund at market value was 4.93% and 12 years, respectively.
The Nebraska Municipal Fund began the period at $9.99 per share and ended the period at $10.40 per share for a total return of 7.14%*. This compares to the Barclays Capital Municipal Index's return of 7.26%. At the end of the period the average weighted coupon and maturity of the Fund at market value was 4.88% and 14 years, respectively.
The Oklahoma Municipal Fund began the period at $11.20 per share and ended the period at $11.60 per share for a total return of 6.42%*. This compares to the Barclays Capital Municipal Index's return of 7.26%. At the end of the period the average weighted coupon and maturity of the Fund at market value was 4.86% and 13 years, respectively.
The Maine Municipal Fund began the period at $10.79 per share and ended the period at $11.00 per share for a total return of 4.72%*. This compares to the Barclays Capital Municipal Index's return of 7.26%. At the end of the period the average weighted coupon and maturity of the Fund at market value was 4.72% and 13 years, respectively.
The New Hampshire Municipal Fund began the period at $10.55 per share and ended the period at $10.74 per share for a total return of 4.53%*. This compares to the Barclays Capital Municipal Index's return of 7.26%. At the end of the period the average weighted coupon and maturity of the Fund at market value was 4.68% and 10 years, respectively.
Income exempt from federal income taxes and each Fund's respective state tax (interest and dividend tax with respect to New Hampshire) with preservation of capital remains the primary objective of the Funds.

Performance does not include applicable front-end or contingent deferred sales charges, which would have reduced the performance. For Kansas Municipal Fund, Nebraska Municipal Fund, Oklahoma Municipal Fund, Maine Municipal Fund, and New Hampshire Municipal Fund, the total annual fund operating expense ratio (before expense waivers and reimbursements and including acquired fund fees and expenses) as of the most recent fiscal year-end was 1.17%, 1.21%, 1.20%, 1.30%, and 1.72%, respectively. The net annual fund operating expense ratio (after expense waivers and reimbursements and excluding acquired fund fees and expenses) as of the most recent fiscal year-end was 1.01%, 1.02%, 1.02%, 1.03%, and 1.02%, respectively. |
Performance data quoted above is historical. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. The principal value and investment return of an investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

You should consider each Fund's investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses carefully before investing. For this and other important information, please obtain a Fund prospectus at no cost from your financial adviser and read it carefully before investing.
Bond prices and therefore the value of bond funds decline as interest rates rise. Because each Fund invests in securities of a single state, the Funds are more susceptible to factors adversely impacting the respective state than a municipal bond fund that does not concentrate its securities in a single state.
For investors subject to the alternative minimum tax, a portion of the each Fund's dividends may be taxable. Distributions of capital gains are generally taxable.

The graph comparing the Fund's performance to a benchmark index provides you with a general sense of how the Fund performed. To put this information in context, it may be helpful to understand the special differences between the two. The Fund's total return for the period shown appears with and without sales charges and includes Fund expenses and management fees. A securities index measures the performance of a theoretical portfolio. Unlike a fund, the index is unmanaged; there are no expenses that affect the results. In addition, few investors could purchase all of the securities to match the index. If they could, transaction costs and other expenses would be incurred. All Fund and benchmark returns include reinvested dividends.
The results prior to August 1, 2009 were achieved while the Fund was managed by a different investment adviser. The current investment adviser may produce different investment results than those achieved by the previous investment adviser.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: Organization
Integrity Managed Portfolios (the "Trust") was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on August 10, 1990 and commenced operations on November 15, 1990. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company and consists of five series (the "Funds").
The Kansas Municipal Fund ("KS Muni Fund"), Nebraska Municipal Fund ("NE Muni Fund"), and Oklahoma Municipal Fund ("OK Muni Fund"), each a non-diversified Fund, seek the highest level of current income that is exempt from both federal income tax and each Fund's respective state income tax as is consistent with preservation of capital. The Maine Municipal Fund ("ME Muni Fund") and New Hampshire Municipal Fund ("NH Muni Fund"), each a non-diversified Fund, seek the highest level of current income that is exempt from both federal income tax and each Fund's respective state income tax (interest and dividend tax with respect to New Hampshire) without assuming undue risk.
NOTE 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Investment security valuation—Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued using a matrix system at fair value as determined by Integrity Fund Services, LLC ("Integrity Fund Services" or "IFS"). The matrix system has been developed based on procedures approved by the Board of Trustees and includes consideration of the following: yields or prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality; type of issue, coupon, maturity, and rating; indications as to value from dealers; indications as to value from municipal bond market activity; and general market conditions. Because the market value of securities can only be established by agreement between parties in a sales transaction, and because of the uncertainty inherent in the valuation process, the fair values as determined may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed. Refer to Note 4 for further disclosures related to the inputs used to value the Funds' investments. Shares of a registered investment company, including money market funds, that are not traded on an exchange are valued at the investment company's net asset value per share.
When-issued securities—The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The values of the securities purchased on a when-issued basis are identified as such in the Funds' Schedule of Investments. With respect to purchase commitments, the Fund identifies securities as segregated in its custodial records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities, if the counterparty does not perform under the contract's terms, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.
Contingent deferred sales charge—In the case of investments of $1 million or more, a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") may be assessed on shares redeemed within 24 months of purchase (excluding shares purchased with reinvested dividends and/or distributions).
Federal and state income taxes—Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized gain on investments to its shareholders; therefore, no provision for income taxes is required.
As of and during the year ended July 31, 2014, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the statement of operations. During the year, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds are not subject to examination by U.S. federal tax authorities for the tax years before 2010.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities. Furthermore, management of the Funds is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Premiums and discounts—Premiums and discounts on municipal securities are accreted and amortized over the lives of the respective securities.
Security transactions, investment income, expenses and distributions—Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the first in, first out basis unless specifically identified. Interest income and estimated expenses are accrued daily. The Funds declare dividends from net investment income daily and pay such dividends monthly. Capital gains, when available, are distributed at least annually. Dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Funds at net asset value or paid in cash. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and may differ from net investment income and realized gains determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatment for market discount and capital loss carryforwards. In addition, other amounts have been reclassified within the composition of net assets to more appropriately conform financial accounting to tax basis treatment.
Use of estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Common expenses—Common expenses of the Trust are allocated among the Funds within the Trust based on relative net assets of each Fund or the nature of the services performed and the relative applicability to each Fund.
NOTE 3: Acquisition of Fund
On September 28, 2012, Kansas Municipal Fund acquired all the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of Kansas Insured Intermediate Fund pursuant to a Plan of Reorganization approved by the shareholders of Kansas Insured Intermediate Fund on September 17, 2012. The purpose of the transaction was to combine two funds managed by Viking Fund Management with comparable investment objectives and strategies. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 1,788,059 shares of Kansas Municipal Fund (valued at $19,918,973) for 1,695,625 shares of Kansas Insured Intermediate Fund outstanding on September 28, 2012. Kansas Insured Intermediate Fund's net assets at that date ($19,918,973), including $1,380,074 of unrealized appreciation and $2,042 of capital loss carryforwards, were combined with those of Kansas Municipal Fund. There were no undistributed income or gain amounts unpaid prior to the merger. The aggregate net assets of Kansas Municipal Fund and Kansas Insured Intermediate Fund immediately before the acquisition were $49,902,063 and $19,918,973, respectively. The combined assets immediately after the acquisition amounted to $69,821,036 for 6,267,955 shares outstanding. Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, the Kansas Municipal Fund and the Kansas Insured Intermediate Fund did not bear any expenses in connection to the Reorganization. After the Plan of Reorganization was completed, the Kansas Municipal Fund was the accounting survivor and obtained and held the entire portfolio holdings previously held by the Kansas Insured Intermediate Fund. The Kansas Municipal Fund elected to maintain the tax cost basis of the investments acquired in the acquisition to align reporting of realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.
Assuming the acquisition had been completed on August 1, 2012, the beginning of the annual reporting period of Kansas Municipal Fund, Kansas Municipal Fund's pro forma results of operations for the year ended July 31, 2013, are as follows:
Net investment income |
$1,890,109 |
Net gain (loss) on investments |
(8,670) |
Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments |
(3,508,925) |
Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations |
($1,627,486) |
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio (no costs of purchases and proceeds of sale of portfolio securities occurred in an effort to realign the combined portfolio after the Plan of Reorganization) since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Kansas Insured Intermediate Fund that have been included in Kansas Municipal Fund's statement of operations since September 28, 2012.
NOTE 4: Fair Value Measurements
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds' investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels: Level 1 inputs are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 inputs are based on significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Level 3 inputs are based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds' investments as of July 31, 2014:

Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 ("Act"), funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period of time. The short-term and long-term character of such losses are retained rather than being treated as short-term as under previous law. Pre-enactment losses are eligible to be carried forward for a maximum period of eight years. Pursuant to the Act, post-enactment capital losses must be utilized before pre-enactment capital losses. As a result, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. The Funds' capital loss carryforward amounts as of July 31, 2014 are as follows:

For the year ended July 31, 2014, KS Muni Fund has expired capital loss carryforwards of $388,935. Net capital losses incurred after October 31 and within the tax year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Funds' next taxable year. For the year ended July 31, 2014, KS Muni Fund, NE Muni Fund, OK Muni Fund, and ME Muni Fund deferred to August 1, 2014, post-October capital losses of $87,593, $32,065, $37,916, and $6,237, respectively.
NOTE 8: Investment Advisory Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Viking Fund Management ("VFM"), the Funds' investment adviser; Integrity Funds Distributor, LLC ("Integrity Funds Distributor" or "IFD"), the Funds' underwriter; and IFS, the Funds' transfer, accounting, and administrative services agent; are subsidiaries of Corridor Investors, LLC ("Corridor Investors" or "Corridor"), the Funds' sponsor. A Trustee of the Funds is also a Governor of Corridor.
VFM provides investment advisory and management services to the Funds. The Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") provides for fees to be computed at an annual rate of 0.50% of the each Fund's average daily net assets. Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, VFM has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and to reimburse expenses for the Funds, other than extraordinary or non-recurring expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses, so that the net annual operating expenses for each Fund does not exceed 1.08% through November 29, 2013, and 0.98% for the period November 30, 2013 through November 29, 2014. After November 29, 2014, the expense limitation may be terminated or revised. VFM and affiliated service providers may also voluntarily waive fees or reimburse expenses not required under the advisory or other contracts from time to time. An expense limitation lowers expense ratios and increases returns to investors. Certain Officers of the Funds are also Officers and Governors of VFM.

IFD serves as the principal underwriter for the Funds and receives sales charges deducted from sale proceeds and CDSC from applicable redemptions. Also, the Funds have adopted a distribution plan for each class of shares as allowed by Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. Distribution plans permit the Funds to reimburse their principal underwriter for costs related to selling shares of the Funds and for various other services. These costs, which consist primarily of commissions and service fees to broker-dealers who sell shares of the Funds, are paid by shareholders through expenses called "Distribution Plan expenses." The Funds currently pay an annual distribution fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets. Certain Officers of the Funds are also Officers and Governors of IFD.

NOTE 9: Principal Risks
The Funds invest primarily in municipal securities from a specific state. The Funds may also invest in municipal securities of U.S. territories and possessions (such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam). Each Fund is therefore more susceptible to political, economic, legislative, or regulatory factors adversely affecting issuers of municipal securities in its specific state or U.S. territories and possessions.
Interest rate risk is the risk that bond prices will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. There is normally an inverse relationship between the fair value of securities sensitive to prevailing interest rates and actual changes in interest rates. The longer the average maturity of a Fund's portfolio, the greater its interest rate risk.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Integrity Managed Portfolios
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Integrity Managed Portfolios comprising Kansas Municipal Fund, Maine Municipal Fund, Nebraska Municipal Fund, New Hampshire Municipal Fund, and Oklahoma Municipal Fund (the "Funds") as of July 31, 2014, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds constituting Integrity Managed Portfolios as of July 31, 2014, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads), redemption fees and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the one-half year period shown below and held for the entire one-half year period.
Actual expenses—The section in the table under the heading "Actual" provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns together with the amount you invested to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an account value of $8,600 divided by $1,000 equals 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate column for your share class in the column entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes—The section in the table under the heading "Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)" provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the section in the table under the heading "Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)" is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS (unaudited)
The Board of Trustees ("Board") of the Funds consists of four Trustees (the "Trustees"). These same individuals, unless otherwise noted, also serve as Trustees for the five series of Integrity Managed Portfolios, the four series of The Integrity Funds, and the two series of Viking Mutual Funds. Three Trustees are not "interested persons" (75% of the total) as defined under the 1940 Act (the "Independent Trustees"). The remaining Trustee is "interested" (the "Interested Trustees") by virtue of his affiliation with Viking Fund Management, LLC and its affiliates."
For the purposes of this section, the "Fund Complex" consists of the five series of Integrity Managed Portfolios, the four series of The Integrity Funds, and the two series of Viking Mutual Funds.
Each Trustee serves the Funds until its termination; or until the Trustee's retirement, resignation, or death; or otherwise as specified in the Funds' organizational documents. Each Officer serves an annual term. The tables that follow show information for each Trustee and Officer of the Funds.

INTEGRITY VIKING FUNDS
CODE OF ETHICS
AND
STATEMENT ON INSIDER TRADING
CODE OF ETHICS
INTEGRITY VIKING FUNDS
Rule 17j-1 (the "Rule") under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act") requires registered investment companies ("investment companies") and their investment advisers, sub-advisers and principal underwriters to adopt written codes of ethics designed to prevent fraudulent trading by those persons covered under the Rule. The Rule also makes it unlawful for certain persons, including any officer or director of an investment company, in connection with the purchase or sale by such person of a security held or to be acquired by an investment company to:
|
|
|
|
(1) |
employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud the investment company; |
|
|
|
|
(2) |
make to the investment company any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state to the investment company a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading; |
|
|
|
|
(3) |
engage in any act, practice or course of business which operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon the investment company; or |
|
|
|
|
(4) |
engage in any manipulative practice with respect to the investment company. |
The Rule also requires that each investment company and its affiliates use reasonable diligence and institute procedures reasonably necessary to prevent violations of its code of ethics.
In addition to the Rule, the Insider Trading and Securities Fraud Enforcement Act of 1988 ("ITSFEA") requires that all investment advisers and broker-dealers establish, maintain, and enforce written policies and procedures designed to detect and prevent the misuse of material nonpublic information by such investment adviser and/or broker-dealer. Section 204A of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the "Advisers Act") states that an investment adviser must adopt and disseminate written policies with respect to ITSFEA, and an investment adviser must also vigilantly review, update, and enforce them. Section 204A provides that every person subject to Section 204 of the Advisers Act shall be required to establish procedures to prevent insider trading.
Rule 204A-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 ("the Advisers Act"), which is effective February 1, 2005, requires registered investment advisers and sub-advisers to adopt written codes of ethics designed to prevent fraudulent trading by those persons covered under the Rule.
Attached to this Code of Ethics ("Code") as Exhibit A is a Statement on Insider Trading. Any investment adviser who acts as such for the Fund and any broker-dealer who acts as the principal underwriter for the Fund must comply with the policy and procedures outlined in the Statement on Insider Trading unless such investment adviser or principal underwriter has adopted a similar policy and procedures with respect to insider trading, which are determined by the Fund's Board to comply with ITSFEA's requirements.
This Code is being adopted by the Fund (1) for implementation with respect to covered persons of the Fund and (2) for implementation by each "investment adviser" to the Fund as that term is defined in the Act (each such investment adviser being deemed an "investment adviser" for purposes of this Code) and for each principal underwriter ("Principal Underwriter") for the Fund unless such Investment Adviser or Principal Underwriter has adopted a code of ethics and plan of implementation thereof which is determined by the Fund's Board to comply with the requirements of the Rule and to be sufficient to effectuate the purpose and objectives of the Rule.
The personal trading activity by access persons of unaffiliated sub-advisers shall be governed by the Code of Ethics and Statement on Insider Trading of the applicable sub-adviser, provided that each such sub-adviser's Code of Ethics meet the requirements of Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act, is in the best interests of the shareholders and is determined by the Fund's Board to comply with the requirements of the Rule and to be sufficient to effectuate the purpose and objectives of the Rule.
STATEMENT OF GENERAL PRINCIPLES
This Code is based on the principle that the officers, directors/trustees, and employees of the Fund and the officers, governors, and employees of the Fund's investment adviser owe a fiduciary duty to the shareholders of the Fund and, therefore, the Fund's and investment adviser's personnel must place the shareholders' interests ahead of their own. The Fund's and investment adviser's personnel must also avoid any conduct which could create a potential conflict of interest and must ensure that their personal securities transactions do not in any way interfere with the Fund's portfolio transactions and that they do not take inappropriate advantage of their positions. All persons covered by this Code must adhere to these general principles as well as the Code's specific provisions, procedures, and restrictions. In addition, all employees must comply with all other applicable federal securities laws.
DEFINITIONS
For purposes of this Code:
"Access Person" means any director/trustee, officer, employee, or Advisory Person of the Fund or those persons who have an active part in the management, portfolio selection, or underwriting functions of the Fund, or who, in the course of their normal duties, obtain prior information about the Fund's purchases or sales of securities (i.e. traders and analysts). The Access Persons are listed in Exhibit G.
"Advisory Person" With respect to an investment adviser, an Advisory Person means any governor, officer, general partner, or employee who, in connection with his/her regular functions or duties, makes, participates in, or obtains current information regarding the purchase or sale of a security by the Fund or whose functions relate to the making of any recommendations with respect to such purchases or sales, including any natural person in a control relationship to the Fund who obtains current information concerning recommendations made with regard to the purchase or sale of a security by the Fund. For the purposes of this Code, an Advisory Person is also considered an Access Person.
"Automatic Investment Plan" means a program in which regular periodic purchases (or withdrawals) are made automatically in (or from) investment accounts in accordance with a predetermined schedule and allocation. An automatic investment plan includes a dividend reinvestment plan.
"Board" means either the Board of Directors or the Board of Trustees, as the case may be, of the Fund.
"Fund" means any mutual fund or series of any mutual fund in the Integrity Viking Funds group, whether one or more funds or series of a Fund are involved.
"Fund Personnel" means an Access Person and/or Advisory Person.
"Non-Access Fund Personnel" are all other employees of Integrity Viking Funds not covered under any of the aforementioned classifications of personnel and, in most cases, do not have to pre-clear or report their security transactions.
"Portfolio Manager" means an employee of an investment adviser or sub-adviser entrusted with the direct responsibility and authority to make investment decisions affecting the Fund. The Portfolio Managers are listed in Exhibit H.
"Beneficial Ownership" is as defined in Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder which, generally speaking, encompass those situations where the beneficial owner has the right to enjoy some economic benefits which are substantially equivalent to ownership regardless of who is the registered owner. This includes:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(i) |
securities which a person holds for his or her own benefit either in bearer form, registered in his or her own name, or otherwise, regardless of whether the securities are owned individually or jointly; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(ii) |
securities held in the name of a member of his or her immediate family sharing the same household; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(iii) |
securities held in the name of an investment club of which the person is a member; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(iv) |
securities held by a trustee, executor, administrator, custodian, or broker; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(v) |
securities owned by a general partnership of which the person is a member or a limited partnership of which such person is a general partner; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(vi) |
securities held by a corporation which can be regarded as a personal holding company of a person; and |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(vii) |
securities recently purchased by a person and awaiting transfer into his or her name. |
|
"Chief Compliance Officer" means a person appointed that title by the Board of Governors of the Investment Adviser pursuant to Rule 206(4)-7 under the Advisers Act or a person appointed that title by the Board of Directors/Trustees of a Fund pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the Act and shall not include a Compliance Officer as defined herein.
"Covered Security" has the meaning set forth in Section 2(a) (36) of the Act, except that it does not include shares of registered open-end investment companies with the exception of the purchase and/or sale of fund shares of any of the Integrity Viking Funds, securities issued by the Government of the United States or by Federal agencies which are direct obligations of the United States, bankers' acceptances, bank certificates of deposits, and commercial paper. A future or an option on a future is deemed to be a security subject to this Code.
"Compliance Officer" means an employee of the Investment Adviser and/or Principal Underwriter of a Fund who has been appointed such position by the adviser or underwriter, but shall not include a Chief Compliance Officer as defined herein.
"Reportable Fund" means any Fund advised by the Investment Adviser, and any Fund whose Investment Adviser or Principal Underwriter is controlled by Corridor Investors, LLC, the parent company.
"Reportable Security" means any personal transaction in a covered security that must be reported to the Chief Compliance Officer of the Investment Adviser after execution of a trade (see Exhibit E for examples).
"Security Requiring Pre-clearance" means any personal transaction in a reportable covered security that must be pre-cleared by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Investment Adviser prior to execution of a trade (see Exhibit E for examples).
"Purchase or sale of a security" includes the writing of an option to purchase or sell a security.
A security is "being considered for purchase or sale" or is "being purchased or sold" when a recommendation to purchase or sell the security has been made by an investment adviser and such determination has been communicated to the Fund. With respect to the investment adviser making the recommendation, a security is being considered for purchase or sale when an officer, governor, or employee of such investment adviser seriously considers making such a recommendation.
Solely for purposes of this Code, any agent of the Fund charged with arranging the execution of a transaction is subject to the reporting requirements of this Code as to any such security as and from the time the security is identified to such agent as though such agent were an investment adviser hereunder.
Note: An officer or employee of the Fund or an investment adviser whose duties do not include the advisory functions described above, who does not have access to the advisory information contemplated above, and whose assigned place of employment is at a location where no investment advisory services are performed for the Fund is not an "Advisory Person" or an "Access Person" unless actual advance knowledge of a covered transaction is furnished to such person. Such personnel will be considered "Non-Access Fund Personnel" and will be subject to the requirements of this Code as such.
PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS
Fund personnel shall not engage in any act, practice, or course of conduct which would violate the provisions of the Rule set forth above. No Access Person or Advisory Person shall purchase or sell, directly or indirectly, any security in which he/she has, or by reason of such transaction acquires, any direct or indirect beneficial ownership and which, to his/her actual knowledge, at the time of such purchase or sale (i) is being considered for purchase or sale by the Fund, or (ii) is being purchased or sold by the Fund; except that the prohibitions of this section shall not apply to:
|
|
|
|
(1) |
purchases or sales effected in any account over which the Access Person or Advisory Person has no direct or indirect influence or control; |
|
|
|
|
(2) |
purchases or sales which are nonvolitional on the part of either the Access Person, the Advisory Person, or the Fund; |
|
|
|
|
(3) |
purchases which are part of an automatic dividend reinvestment or other plan established by Fund Personnel prior to the time the security involved came within the purview of this Code; |
|
|
|
|
(4) |
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 from such issuer, and sales of such rights so acquired; and |
|
|
|
|
(5) |
purchases or sales that are pre-cleared in writing and approved by the Chief Compliance Officer as (a) clearly not economically related to securities to be purchased or sold or held by the Fund and (b) not representing any danger of the abuses proscribed by Rule 17j-1 of the Act, but only after the prospective purchaser has identified to the Chief Compliance Officer all relevant factors of which he/she is aware of regarding any potential conflict between his/her transaction and securities held or to be held by the Fund. |
PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS BY FUND PERSONNEL
No Fund Personnel shall:
|
|
|
|
(a) |
acquire any securities in an initial public offering; or |
|
|
|
|
(b) |
acquire securities in a private placement without prior written approval of the Chief Compliance Officer or other officer designated by the Board. |
In considering a request to invest in a private placement, the Chief Compliance Officer will take into account, among other factors, whether the investment opportunity should be reserved for the Fund and whether the opportunity is being offered to Fund Personnel by virtue of their/his/her position with the Fund. Should Fund Personnel be authorized to acquire securities through a private placement, they/he/she shall, in addition to reporting the transaction on the quarterly report to the Fund, disclose the interest in that investment to other Fund Personnel participating in that investment decision if and when they/he/she plays a part in the Fund's subsequent consideration of an investment in that issuer. In such a case, the Fund's decision to purchase securities of that issuer will be subject to an independent review by Fund Personnel who have no personal interest in the issuer.
BLACKOUT PERIODS
No Access Person or Advisory Person shall execute a securities transaction on a day during which the Fund has a pending "buy" or "sell" order in that same security until that order is executed or withdrawn. In addition, a Portfolio Manager is expressly prohibited from purchasing or selling a security within seven (7) calendar days before or after the Fund that he/she manages trades in that security.
The foregoing prohibition of personal transactions during the seven-day period following the execution of a transaction for the Fund shall not apply with respect to a security when the Portfolio Manager certifies in writing to the Chief Compliance Officer that the Fund's trading program in that security is complete. Each transaction authorized by the Chief Compliance Officer pursuant to this provision shall be reported to the Board by the Chief Compliance Officer at the Board's next regular meeting.
Should Fund Personnel trade within the proscribed period, such trade should be canceled if possible. If it is not possible to cancel the trade, all profits from the trade must be disgorged, and the profits will be paid to a charity selected by the Fund Personnel and approved by the officers of the Fund.
The prohibitions of this section shall not apply to:
|
|
|
|
(1) |
purchases or sales effected in any account over which the Access Person or Advisory Person has no direct or indirect influence or control if the person making the investment decision with respect to such account has no actual knowledge about the Fund's pending "buy" or "sell" order; |
|
|
|
|
(2) |
purchases or sales which are nonvolitional on the part of either the Access Person, the Advisory Person, or the Fund; |
|
|
|
|
(3) |
purchases which are part of an automatic dividend reinvestment or other plan established by Fund Personnel prior to the time the security involved came within the purview of this Code; and |
|
|
|
|
(4) |
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 from such issuer, and sales of such rights so acquired. |
|
|
|
|
(5) |
purchases or sales that are pre-cleared in writing by the Chief Compliance Officer as (a) clearly not economically related to securities to be purchased or sold or held by the Fund and (b) not representing any danger of the abuses proscribed by Rule 17j-1 of the Act, but only after the prospective purchaser has identified to the Chief Compliance Officer all relevant factors of which he/she is aware of regarding any potential conflict between his/her transaction and securities held or to be held by the Fund. |
SHORT-TERM TRADING
No Fund Personnel shall profit from the purchase and sale or sale and purchase of the same (or equivalent) securities which are owned by the Fund or which are of a type suitable for purchase by the Fund within sixty (60) calendar days. Any profits realized on such short-term trades must be disgorged, and the profits will be paid to a charity selected by the Fund Personnel and approved by the officers of the Fund. The Chief Compliance Officer or other officer designated by the Board may permit in writing exemptions to the prohibition of this section on a case-by-case basis when no abuse is involved and the equities of the circumstances support an exemption.
GIFTS
No Fund Personnel shall accept a gift or other thing of more than one hundred dollars in value ("gift") from any person or entity that does business with or on behalf of the Fund if such gift is in relation to the business of the employer of the recipient of the gift. In addition, any Fund Personnel who receive an unsolicited gift or a gift of an unclear status under this section shall promptly notify the Chief Compliance Officer and accept the gift only upon written approval of the Chief Compliance Officer.
SERVICE AS A DIRECTOR
No Fund Personnel shall serve as a director of a publicly-traded company absent prior written authorization from the Fund Board based upon a determination that such board service would not be inconsistent with the interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
PRE-CLEARANCE AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
1. |
All Fund Personnel shall pre-clear their personal securities transactions in securities requiring prior approval before executing an order. Exhibit E, attached to this Code, provides a list of the securities requiring pre-clearance. A request must be submitted to the Chief Compliance Officer, and the Chief Compliance Officer must give his/her authorization prior to Fund Personnel placing a purchase or sell order with a broker. Should the Chief Compliance Officer deny the request, he/she will give a reason for the denial. Approval of a request will remain valid for two (2) business days from the date of the approval.* |
||
|
|
||
* |
The Board has determined that placement of a limit order constitutes a transaction requiring approval, and the limit order must be placed within two days from the date of approval. Implementation of a limit order in accordance with its approved terms is a ministerial act, which occurs in the future by the terms of the limit order and does not require approval. A change of terms in, or withdrawal of, a standing limit order is an investment decision for which clearance must be obtained. |
||
|
|
||
2. |
All Fund Personnel shall instruct their brokers to supply the Chief Compliance Officer, on a timely basis, with duplicate copies of confirmations of all personal securities transactions and copies of all periodic statements for all securities accounts.

|
|
||
3. |
Fund Personnel, other than directors/trustees and officers required to report their personal securities transactions to a registered investment adviser pursuant to Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act, effective February 1, 2005, shall submit quarterly transaction reports showing all transactions in reportable securities as defined herein in which the person has, or by reason of such transaction acquires, any direct or indirect beneficial ownership. |
||
|
|
||
4. |
Each director/trustee who is not an "interested person" of the Fund as defined in the Act shall pre-clear and submit quarterly transaction reports as required under subparagraph 3 above, but only for transactions in reportable securities where at the time of the transaction the director knew, or in the ordinary course of fulfilling his/her official duties as a director/trustee should have known, that during the fifteen (15)-day period immediately preceding or following the date of the transaction by the director/trustee such security was purchased or sold by the Fund or was being considered for purchase or sale by the Fund or its investment adviser. |
||
|
|
||
5. |
Every quarterly transaction report required to be made under subparagraphs 3 and 4 above shall be made not later than thirty (30) days after the end of the calendar quarter and shall cover all transactions during the quarter. The report shall contain the following information concerning any transaction required to be reported therein: |

|
|
|

||
6. |
The Chief Compliance Officer shall identify all Fund Personnel and Non-Access Fund Personnel, who have a duty to make the reports required hereunder, shall inform each such person of such duty, and shall receive and review all reports required hereunder. |
||
|
|
||
7. |
Any employee or officer of a Fund or the Investment Adviser or Principal Underwriter of the Fund shall promptly report any violation he or she uncovers to the Chief Compliance Officer [Rule 204A-1(a)(4)]. The Chief Compliance Officer shall promptly report to the Fund's Board (a) any apparent violation of the prohibitions contained in this Code and (b) any reported transactions in a security which was purchased or sold by the Fund within fifteen (15) days before or after the date of the reported transaction. |
||
|
|
||
8. |
The Fund's Board or a committee of directors/trustees created by the Board for that purpose shall consider reports made to the Board hereunder and shall determine whether or not this Code has been violated and what sanctions, if any, should be imposed. |
||
|
|
||
9. |
This Code, a list of all persons required to make reports hereunder from time to time, a copy of each report made by Fund Personnel and Non-Access Fund Personnel (as applicable), each memorandum made by the Chief Compliance Officer hereunder, and a record of any violation hereof and any action taken as a result of such violation shall be maintained by the Fund as required under the Rule. |

Exhibit A
STATEMENT ON INSIDER TRADING
The Insider Trading and Securities Fraud Enforcement Act of 1988 ("ITSFEA") requires that all investment advisers and broker-dealers establish, maintain, and enforce written policies and procedures designed to detect and prevent the misuse of material nonpublic information by such investment adviser and/or broker-dealer or any person associated with the investment adviser and/or broker-dealer.
Section 204A of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the "Advisers Act") states that an investment adviser must adopt and disseminate written policies with respect to ITSFEA, and an investment adviser must also vigilantly review, update, and enforce them. Section 204A provides that every person subject to Section 204 of the Advisers Act shall be required to establish procedures to prevent insider trading.
Each investment adviser which acts as such for the Fund and each broker-dealer which acts as principal underwriter for the Fund has adopted the following policy, procedures, and supervisory procedures in addition the Fund's Code of Ethics. Throughout this document the investment advisers and principal underwriters collectively are called the "Providers."
SECTION I. POLICY
The purpose of this Section 1 is to familiarize the officers, directors/governors, and employees of the Providers with issues concerning insider trading and to assist them in putting into context the policy and procedures on insider trading.
Policy Statement:
No person to whom this Statement on Insider Trading applies, including officers, directors/governors, and employees, may trade, either personally or on behalf of others (such as mutual funds and private accounts managed by a Provider) while in the possession of material nonpublic information; nor may any officer, director/governor, or employee of a Provider communicate material nonpublic information to others in violation of the law. This conduct is frequently referred to as "insider trading." This policy applies to every officer, director/governor, and employee of a Provider and extends to activities within and outside their duties as a Provider. It covers not only personal transactions of covered persons, but also indirect trading by family, friends, and others or the nonpublic distribution of inside information from you to others. Every officer, director/governor, and employee must read and retain a copy of this policy statement. Any questions regarding the policy and procedures should be referred to the Chief Compliance Officer.
The term "insider trading" is not defined in the Federal securities laws but generally is used to refer to the use of material nonpublic information to trade in securities (whether or not one is an "insider") or the communications of material nonpublic information to others who may then seek to benefit from such information.
While the law concerning insider trading is not static, it is generally understood that the law prohibits:
|
|
|
|
(a) |
trading by an insider, while in possession of material nonpublic information, or |
|
|
|
|
(b) |
trading by a non-insider, while in the possession of material nonpublic information, where the information either was disclosed to the non-insider in violation of an insider's duty to keep it confidential or was misappropriated; or |
|
|
|
|
(c) |
communicating material nonpublic information to others. |
The elements of insider trading and the penalties for such unlawful conduct are discussed below.
1. |
Who is an insider? The concept of "insider" is broad. It includes officers, directors/governors, and employees of a company. In addition, a person can be a "temporary insider" if he or she enters into a special confidential relationship in the conduct of a company's affairs and as a result is given access to information solely for the company's purposes. A temporary insider can include, among others, a company's attorneys, accountants, consultants, bank lending officers, and the employees of such organizations. In addition, an investment adviser may become a temporary insider of a company it advises or for which it performs other services. According to the Supreme Court, the company must expect the outsider to keep the disclosed nonpublic information confidential, and the relationship must at least imply such a duty before the outsider will be considered an insider. |
|
|
|
|
2. |
What is material information? Trading on inside information can be the basis for liability when the information is material. In general, information is "material" when there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would consider it important in making his or her investment decisions or information that is reasonably certain to have a substantial effect on the price of a company's securities. Information that officers, directors/governors, and employees should consider material includes, but is not limited to: dividend changes, earnings estimates, changes in previously released earnings estimates, significant merger or acquisition proposals or agreements, major litigation, liquidation problems, and extraordinary management developments. |
|
|
|
|
3. |
What is nonpublic information? Information is nonpublic until it has been effectively communicated to the marketplace. One must be able to point to some fact to show that the information is generally public. For example, information found in a report filed with the SEC, or appearing in Dow Jones, Reuters Economic Services, The Wall Street Journal, or other publications of general circulation would be considered public. (Depending on the nature of the information and the type and timing of the filing or other public release, it may be appropriate to allow for adequate time for the information to be "effectively" disseminated.) |
|
|
|
|
4. |
Reason for liability. (a) Fiduciary duty theory. In 1980 the Supreme Court found that there is no general duty to disclose before trading on material nonpublic information but that such a duty arises only where there is a direct or indirect fiduciary relationship with the issuer or its agents. That is, there must be a relationship between the parties to the transaction such that one party has a right to expect that the other party will disclose any material nonpublic information or refrain from trading. (b) Misappropriation theory. Another basis for insider trading liability is the "misappropriation" theory, where liability is established when trading occurs on material nonpublic information that was stolen or misappropriated from any other person. |
|
|
|
|
5. |
Penalties for insider trading. Penalties for trading on or communicating material nonpublic information are severe, both for individuals and their employers. A person can be subject to some or all of the penalties below even if he or she does not personally benefit from the violation. Penalties include: |
|
|
|
|
|
• |
civil injunctions |
|
|
|
|
• |
treble damages |
|
|
|
|
• |
disgorgement of profits |
|
|
|
|
• |
jail sentences |
|
|
|
|
• |
fines for the person who committed the violation of up to three times the profit gained or loss avoided, whether or not the person actually benefited |
|
|
|
|
• |
fines for the employer or other controlling person of up to the greater of $1 million or three times amount of the profit gained or loss avoided |
In addition, any violation of this policy statement can be expected to result in serious sanctions by a Provider, including dismissal of the persons involved.
SECTION II. PROCEDURES
The following procedures have been established to aid the officers, directors/governors, and employees of a Provider in avoiding insider trading and to aid in preventing, detecting, and imposing sanctions against insider trading. Every officer, director, and employee of a Provider must follow these procedures or risk serious sanctions including dismissal, substantial personal liability, and/or criminal penalties. If you have any questions about these procedures, you should consult the compliance officer.
1. |
Identifying inside information. Before trading for yourself or others, including investment companies or private accounts managed by a Provider, in the securities of a company about which you may have potential inside information, ask yourself the following questions: |
|
|
|
|
|
(i.) |
Is the information material? Is this information that an investor would consider important in making his or her investment decisions? Is this information that would substantially affect the market price of the securities if generally disclosed? |
|
|
|
|
(ii.) |
Is the information nonpublic? To whom has this information been provided? Has the information been effectively communicated to the marketplace by being published in Reuters, The Wall Street Journal, or other publications of general circulation? |
|
|
|
|
If, after consideration of the above, you believe that the information is material and nonpublic or if you have questions as to whether the information is material and nonpublic, you should take the following steps: |
|
|
|
|
|
(a) |
Report the matter immediately to the Chief Compliance Officer. |
|
|
|
|
(b) |
Do not purchase or sell the security on behalf of yourself or others, including investment companies or private accounts managed by a Provider. |
|
|
|
|
(c) |
Do not communicate the information to anybody, other than the Chief Compliance Officer. |
|
|
|
|
(d) |
After the Chief Compliance Officer has reviewed the issue, you will be instructed to either continue the prohibitions against trading and communication or you will be allowed to communicate the information and then trade. |
|
|
|
2. |
Personal security trading. All officers, directors/governors, and employees of a Provider (other than officers, directors, and employees who are required to report their securities transactions to a registered investment company in accordance with a Code of Ethics) shall submit to the Chief Compliance Officer, on a quarterly basis or at such lesser intervals as may be required from time to time, a report of every reportable securities transaction in which they, their families (including the spouse, minor children, and adults living in the same household as the officer, director/governor, or employee), and trusts of which they are trustees or in which they have a beneficial interest have participated. The report shall include the name of the security, date of the transaction, quantity, price, and broker-dealer through which the transaction was effected. All officers, directors/governors, and employees must also instruct their brokers to supply the Chief Compliance Officer, on a timely basis, with duplicate copies of confirmations of all personal securities transactions and copies of all periodic statements for all securities accounts. |
|
|
|
|
3. |
Restricting access to material nonpublic information. Any information in your possession that you identify as material and nonpublic may not be communicated other than in the course of performing your duties to anyone, including persons within the company, except as provided in paragraph 1 above. In addition, care should be taken so that such information is secure. For example, files containing material nonpublic information should be sealed; access to computer files containing material nonpublic information should be restricted. |
|
|
|
|
4. |
Resolving issues concerning insider trading. If, after consideration of the items set forth in paragraph 1, doubt remains as to whether information is material or nonpublic, or if there is any unresolved question as to the applicability or interpretation of the foregoing procedures, or as to the propriety of any action, it must be discussed with the Chief Compliance Officer before trading or communicating the information to anyone. |
SECTION III. SUPERVISION
The role of the Chief Compliance Officer is critical to the implementation and maintenance of this Statement on Insider Trading. These supervisory procedures can be divided into two classifications: (1) the prevention of insider trading, and (2) the detection of insider trading.
1. |
Prevention of insider trading: |
||
|
|
||
|
To prevent insider trading, the Chief Compliance Officer should: |
||
|
|
||
|
(a) |
answer promptly any questions regarding the Statement on Insider Trading; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
(b) |
resolve issues of whether information received by an officer, director/governor, or employee is material and nonpublic; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
(c) |
review and ensure that officers, directors, and employees review, at least annually, and update as necessary, the Statement on Insider Trading; and |
|
|
|
|
|
|
(d) |
when it has been determined that an officer, director/governor, or employee has material nonpublic information, |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(i) |
implement measures to prevent dissemination of such information, and |
|
|
|
|
|
|
(ii) |
if necessary, restrict officers, directors/governors, and employees from trading the securities. |
|
|
|
|
2. |
Detection of insider trading: |
||
|
|
|
|
|
To detect insider trading, the Chief Compliance Officer should: |
||
|
|
|
|
|
(a) |
review the trading activity reports filed by each officer, director, and employee to ensure no trading took place in securities in which the Provider has material nonpublic information; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
(b) |
review the trading activity of the mutual funds managed by the investment adviser and the mutual funds for which the broker-dealer acts as principal underwriter; and |
|
|
|
|
|
|
(c) |
coordinate, if necessary, the review of such reports with other appropriate officers, directors, or employees of a Provider and the Fund. |
|
|
|
||
3. |
Special reports to management: |
||
|
|
||
|
Promptly upon learning of a potential violation of the Statement on Insider Trading, the Chief Compliance Officer must prepare a written report to management of the Provider and provide a copy of such report to the Board providing full details and recommendations for further action. |
||
|
|
||
4. |
Annual reports: |
||
|
|
||
|
On an annual basis, the Chief Compliance Officer of each Provider will prepare a written report to the management of the Provider and provide a copy of such report to the Board setting forth the following: |
||
|
|
||
|
(a) |
a summary of the existing procedures to detect and prevent insider trading; |
|
|
|
|
|
|
(b) |
full details of any investigation, either internal or by a regulatory agency, of any suspected insider trading and the results of such investigation; and |
|
|
|
|
|
|
(c) |
an evaluation of the current procedures and any recommendations for improvement. |
