This Code of Ethics is designed to comply with Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) thereunder. This Code of Ethics is in addition to, not in replacement of, The Jensen Portfolio, Inc. dba Jensen Quality Growth Fund (the “Fund”) Code of Ethics and Statement of Policies adopted pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The persons covered under this Code of Ethics are also subject to the Fund’s Code of Ethics and Statement of Policies.

The Fund requires its Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, or other Fund officers performing similar functions (the “Principal Officers”), to maintain the highest ethical and legal standards while performing their duties and responsibilities to the Fund, with particular emphasis on those duties that relate to the preparation and reporting of the financial information of the Fund. In regard to preparing and reporting financial information of the Fund, the Fund has adopted separate Disclosure Controls and Procedures that, “under the supervision and oversight” of the Principal Officers, are designed to ensure that all information the Fund is required to disclose in its annual and semi-annual reports and other covered periodic reports filed with the SEC are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC under its rules and regulations.

The following principles and responsibilities shall govern the professional conduct of the Principal Officers:

1. Honest and Ethical Conduct

The Principal Officers shall act with honesty and integrity, avoiding actual or apparent conflicts of interest in personal and professional relationships, and shall report any material transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to such conflict between their interests and those of the Fund to the Fund’s Audit Committee and Board of Directors, and, in addition, to any other appropriate person or entity that may reasonably be expected to deal with any conflict of interest in a timely and expeditious manner.

The Principal Officers shall act in good faith, responsibly, with due care, competence and diligence, without misrepresenting material facts or allowing their independent judgment to be subordinated or compromised.
