WILLISTON BASIN/MID-NORTH AMERICA STOCK FUND

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:

 

Enclosed is the report of the operations for the Williston Basin/Mid-North America Stock Fund (the "Fund") for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Fund's portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review.

The Fund (symbol ICPAX) completed a fine year as total return calculated positively to 47.43% (at net asset value) for 2010 compared to the benchmark Russell 3000 return of 16.93% and S&P 500 return of 15.06%. This performance was accomplished by management following a strategy designed to take advantage of growth opportunities found primarily in a group of states and provinces located in the middle of the North American continent south to north from Texas to Alberta.

Management focused primarily on companies whose operations include developing and supporting oil and gas resources in the Williston Basin of North Dakota, Montana and Canada. Many of our portfolio companies are also operating in other basins including the Niobrara formation of Colorado and Wyoming with promising reports coming from that area. We continue to see increased drilling activity with more demand for ancillary services such as well services and transportation of crude oil. Job growth has been expanding in this area and the demand for more building out of infrastructure has been a major topic of discussion among civic and industry leaders.

Because the United States is dependent on imports to supply a large amount of its daily crude oil needs, we believe it makes sense to explore and produce domestic oil as soon as possible. Since the Williston Basin is among the largest sedimentary basins on the North American continent and since the Bakken formation has been tapped for numerous high-rate producers, the stage has been set for perhaps many years of drilling, producing and transporting of this valuable commodity. Success in drilling and completion has been high and demand for these services has allowed for pricing leverage with the companies involved. Strong oil well economics, i.e., the prospects for high return on investment, have been a strong driver toward development. Other productive formations such as the Three Forks, Spearfish, and Tyler have been featured by industry leaders as good prospects as well. We are located near the gateway to the Bakken and it is apparent that we have entered into a new paradigm of extraction where companies are better able to produce high quality oil from previously non-productive zones. Methods developed lately are likely to be taken across the world by many of these same companies.

The Fund has invested across several industries with emphasis on oil exploration and production, well service companies and equipment manufacturers. Other industries invested in include refineries, pipelines and metals mining with potash mining companies attracting the attention of the managers as well. The Fund has maintained a portfolio of forty to fifty companies over the past twelve months.

Prospects for the coming year look good for the basins that we follow and we expect more action from independent producers and majors alike. Another interesting player is China and their quest for petroleum and potash resources. We have witnessed the Chinese shopping the World for petroleum reserves from Argentina to Indonesia and now the United States. Deals have been made recently in the southern regions of this country and lately we have seen reports of Chinese involvement in the Niobrara. The Williston Basin might get some looks from China as well.

INTEGRITY GROWTH & INCOME FUND

 

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:

 

Enclosed is report of the operations for the Integrity Growth & Income Fund (the "Fund") for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Fund's portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review.

The Fund is managed using a blend of growth & income investment strategy by seeking to invest primarily in domestic common stocks, balancing its investments between growth & dividend paying stocks. The Fund tries to emphasize companies that the investment adviser believes offer both attractive investment opportunities and demonstrates a positive awareness of their impact on the society in which they operate.

The U.S. stock market ended 2010 higher for a second year with the S&P 500 Index ("S&P") having its best December since 1991. The gains marked a recovery to the market's level before the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September 2008. For the year the S&P climbed 15.06%. A good deal of the markets gain occurred in the first half of December, after President Obama announced a deal to extend Bush-era tax cuts and other positive economic news. That being said, the market did experience pullbacks during the year. The S&P fell 19% between the end of April and early July. This correction was mainly due to fears that sovereign debt woes would sink the European Euro and produce a continent wide recession, spilling over into the U.S. economy at the same time.

The rally that began in late August was set off by the expectation that the Federal Reserve would start a controversial program of buying $600 billion in Treasury securities to pump cash into the economy. There are signals it has given the domestic economy a boost. Not only are stocks higher, but auto sales have also been stronger. The holiday season was the best since 2007, manufacturing around the country is stronger, and jobless claims have fallen 23% since mid July.

The Fund ended the year up 17.19%* compared to the S&P 500 Index's return of 15.06%. Stock selections contributing to the overall performance of the Fund included: Kodiak Oil & Gas, an independent oil & gas energy company participating in the Bakken formation of the Williston Basin of North America, up 89.11%; Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp., a business software & services company, up 35.57%; Potash of Saskatchewan, an integrated agriculture fertilizer company, up 33.65%; Apple Inc., a personal computer company, up 24.20%; and Clean Harbors Inc., an environmental, energy & industrial service company involved in the BP oil spill clean up, up 23.73%. Detractors from relative performance included: AFLAC, up 1.62%; Bank of America, down 1%; and Hewlett-Packard, a diversified computer system company, down 17.46%.

The Portfolio Management Team is encouraged for the prospects of 2011 for a number of reasons including:

 

 

 

 

The third year of the Presidential cycle historically delivers more gains than the three years combined,

 

 

 

 

The extended 2003 tax cuts should boost consumer spending,

 

 

 

 

Improving consumer sentiment and spending should boost GDP (Gross Domestic Production) in 2011,

 

 

 

 

Corporate fundamentals are better than ever, with strong earnings, rising cash flow, and strong productivity, and

 

 

 

 

Global trade is booming, in particular, the emerging markets.

INTEGRITY HIGH INCOME FUND

 

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:

 

Enclosed is the report of the operations for the Integrity High Income Fund (the "Fund") for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Fund's portfolio and related financial statements are presented within for your review.

Market Recap

Modest economic growth, improving corporate conditions, strong retail fund inflows, accommodative primary market conditions and a sharp decline in default activity led to strong returns for high-yield credit in 2010. High yield began the year on a strong note and continued to build on the solid momentum of year-end 2009. Regulatory and economic uncertainty forced an equity sell-off during the second half of January, which in turn pushed high-yield spreads wider. Spreads were somewhat volatile in February before swiftly recovering and trending tighter through the end of April. In general, however, improving economic data, favorable technicals, strong capital market conditions and lower default trends provided an encouraging backdrop to the high-yield market through early April. By the end of April, high yield had posted 14-consecutive monthly gains and the year-to-date return was 7%. At the same time, the primary market was setting both weekly and monthly records. However, May ushered in a substantial correction as market volatility surged due to European sovereign concerns. As a result, risk appetite levels waned as sentiment toward the global economic recovery weakened, leading to a steady stream of large retail outflows and a sharp slowdown to the record pace of new issue activity in May and early June. The high-yield market began the third quarter positively with solid corporate earnings reports, stronger capital market conditions and declining default volumes. Weakening global economic conditions, however, weighed heavily on market sentiment during August before falling Treasury rates, rising equities, healthy demand and dramatic improvements in capital market access rallied the market in September. Continued macroeconomic fears persisted, leading the Federal Reserve to announce a second round of quantitative easing in early November. Despite some volatility in mid-November, which largely resulted from the Treasury curve backup and renewed macroeconomic risks from notable events in China and Ireland, the high-yield market finished the year strongly with a more stable macroeconomic environment, robust demand, unprecedented high-yield new issuance and broader access to capital for high-yield issuers.

Again in 2010, the lower end of the quality spectrum (i.e., CCC-rated bonds and distressed bonds) outperformed single-B and double-B rated credits for the year, illustrating the stronger desire for riskier assets. All sectors posted positive returns for a second-consecutive year, with life insurance, property and casualty insurance and banking leading performance for the Barclays Capital US High Yield Corporate Index in 2010. The lowest-performing sectors in the index for the year were supermarkets, electric utilities and healthcare.

Compared to the record-high default volume and an upward spike in the default rate in 2009, default activity dramatically decreased in 2010 as only 44 companies defaulted during the year, affecting $19.8 billion in bonds and loans. As a result, the 12-month trailing par-weighted domestic default rate for high-yield bonds ended the year at 0.79%, well below the historical average of 4.3% and down drastically from 10.3% a year ago.

Increased demand for riskier assets helped to foster a robust new-issue market for high-yield bonds. High-yield issuers priced over $302 billion in 2010, exceeding last year's record by more than $120 billion. High-yield mutual funds experienced inflows of $12.2 billion in 2010, compared to a record-setting $31.9 billion in inflows last year. Year-to-date redemptions, maturities, tenders and upgrades to investment grade totaled $174.2 billion versus $117.4 billion for the same period in 2009. These activities are important because they effectively create additional market demand for remaining issues.

Portfolio Performance and Positioning

For the year, the Integrity High Income Fund Class A and Class C returned 13.39%* and 12.39%*, respectively, compared to a 15.12% return for its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Index, and 15.07% for the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Constrained Index. Performance relative to the benchmark was aided by security selection in the electric utilities, metals and mining and independent energy sectors, with the largest contributions coming from relative weightings in Texas Competitive Electric Holdings, MGM Resorts International, First Data Corporation, FMG Finance and Simmons Bedding Company. Underperforming sectors included media non-cable, insurance and financials. Performance was hindered by relative weightings in Dex One Corp., American International Group, HCA, EchoStar DBS and iStar Financial.

Compared to the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index, the Fund is overweight in the consumer products, healthcare and consumer services sectors due to our view of the relative value opportunities within those sectors. Conversely, the Fund is underweight in the financial, electric utilities and banking sectors because we have not found them compelling, given their challenging fundamental outlooks or rich valuations.

Outlook

We expect that improvement in the economic environment will continue. Stronger issuer fundamentals, accommodating capital access and robust demand will sustain a more conducive credit environment for high yield. Companies remain cautious, yet the broadening capital market access will further promote companies to refinance near-term debt maturities, thereby strengthening their balance sheets and ultimately lowering default outlooks. Corporate profitability should continue to build as revenue growth improves and margins hold. We believe that current valuations are attractive based on moderate gross domestic product growth, improved credit fundamentals and low default risk. Accordingly, we expect spreads to tighten further as issuer fundamentals remain intact and moderate flows into the asset class to continue. Again, we will rely on our individual security selection to be the primary driver of performance.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1: Organization

The Integrity Funds (the "Trust") was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on October 31, 1997 and commenced operations on October 31, 1997. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end management investment company, consisting of three series (the "Funds").

Williston Basin/Mid-North American Stock Fund (the "WB/MNAS Fund"), a diversified fund, seeks to provide long-term growth through capital appreciation. Integrity Growth & Income Fund (the "Growth & Income Fund"), a diversified fund, seeks to provide long-term growth of capital with dividend income as a secondary objective. Integrity High Income Fund (the "High Income Fund"), a non-diversified fund, seeks a high level of current income with capital appreciation as a secondary objective.

High Income Fund is currently the only fund in the Trust that offers both Class A and Class C shares. High Income Fund Class A shares are sold with an initial sales charge of 4.25% and a distribution fee of up to 0.25% on an annual basis. High Income Fund Class C shares are sold without a sales charge and are subject to a distribution fee of up to 1.00% on an annual basis and a CDSC of 1.00% if shares are redeemed within 12 months of purchase. The two classes of shares represent interest in the same portfolio of investments, have the same rights, and are generally identical in all respects except that each class bears its separate distribution and certain other class expenses and have exclusive voting rights with respect to any matter on which a separate vote of any class is required.

NOTE 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Investment security valuation—Securities for which market quotations are available are valued as follows: (a) Listed securities are valued at the closing price obtained from the respective primary exchange on which the security is listed or, if there were no sales on that day, at its last reported current bid price; (b) Unlisted securities are valued at the last current bid price obtained from the National Association of Securities Dealers' Automated Quotation System. Integrity Fund Services, LLC ("Integrity Fund Services" or "IFS") obtains all of these prices from services that collect and disseminate such market prices. Prices provided by an independent pricing service may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices and may take into account appropriate factors such as: institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data. In the absence of an ascertainable market value, assets are valued at their fair value as determined by IFS using methods and procedures reviewed and approved by the Trustees. Refer to Note 3 for further disclosures related to the inputs used to value the Funds' investments as of December 31, 2010.

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 Fund's 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 (excluding Growth & Income Fund), 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). Investments in Class C shares (in any amount) may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase.

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 December 31, 2010, 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 2007.

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 debt 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. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds' understanding of the applicable countries tax rule and regulations. The WB/MNAS Fund and Growth & Income Fund will declare and pay dividends from net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. The High Income Fund declares dividends from net investment income daily and pays such dividends monthly. Dividends are reinvested in additional shares of the Funds at net asset value or paid in cash. Capital gains, when available, are distributed at least annually. 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 treatments for capital loss carryforwards and losses due to wash sales. 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.

Multiple class allocations—High Income Fund is currently the only fund in the Trust that offers multiple share classes. The High Income Fund simultaneously uses the settled shares method to allocate income and fund-wide expenses and uses the relative net assets method to allocate gains and losses. Class-specific expenses, distribution fees, and any other items that are specifically attributable to a particular class are charged directly to such class.

NOTE 3: 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 Funds' 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 December 31, 2010:

NOTE 7: 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 Integrity Fund Services, the Funds' transfer, accounting, and administrative services agent; are subsidiaries of Corridor Investors, LLC ("Corridor Investors" or "Corridor"), the Funds' sponsor. For Integrity High Income Fund, JPMIM is the sub-adviser.

VFM provides investment advisory and management services to the Funds. For the WB/MNAS Fund, Growth & Income Fund, and High Income Fund the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") provides for fees to be computed at an annual rate of 0.50%, 1.00%, and 0.85%, respectively, of each Fund's average daily net assets. VFM has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and to reimburse expenses, other than extraordinary or non-recurring expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses, until April 30, 2011, for WB/MNAS Fund, Growth & Income Fund, High Income Fund Class A, and High Income Fund Class C, so that the net annual operating expenses do not exceed 1.50%, 1.60%, 1.60%, and 2.35%, respectively. After this date, the expense limitations may be terminated or revised. 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 sales 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 its 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." WB/MNAS Fund, Growth & Income Fund, High Income Fund Class A, and High Income Fund Class C currently pay an annual distribution and/or service fee of up to 0.50%, 0.25%, 0.25%, 1.00%, respectively, of the average daily net assets. Certain Officers of the Funds are also Officers and Governors of IFD.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Integrity Funds

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of the The Integrity Funds, comprising the Williston Basin/Mid-North America Stock Fund, Integrity Growth & Income Fund, and Integrity High Income Fund (the "Funds") as of December 31, 2010, and the related statements of operations, statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the year 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 audit. The statements of changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2009 and financial highlights for the years ended prior to December 31, 2010, were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm, who expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and highlights.

We conducted our audit 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 December 31, 2010, by correspondence with the Funds' 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 audit provides 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 The Integrity Funds as of December 31, 2010, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for the year 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 Funds 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 Funds' actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds' actual returns. 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 Funds 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 APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (unaudited)

 

Viking Fund Management, LLC ("Viking" or "Adviser"), the Fund's investment adviser; Integrity Funds Distributor, LLC ("IFD"), the Fund's underwriter; and Integrity Fund Services, LLC ("IFS"), the Fund's transfer, accounting, and administrative services agent; are subsidiaries of Corridor Investors, LLC ("Corridor"), the Fund's sponsor.

The approval and the continuation of a fund's investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements must be specifically approved at least annually (1) by the vote of the trustees or by a vote of the shareholders of the fund, and (2) by the vote of a majority of the trustees who are not parties to the investment advisory agreement or "Interested Persons" of any party ("Independent Trustees"), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In preparation for the meeting, the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of materials provided by the Fund's adviser. The Independent Trustees also received advice from their independent counsel on the issues to focus on during contract renewals. At a meeting held on October 29, 2010, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the independent Trustees of the Fund, approved the Management and Investment Advisory Agreement ("Advisory Agreement"), between the Funds and Viking and the Sub-Advisory Agreement, between the Advisor and J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. ("JPMIM").

The Trustees, including a majority of Trustees who are neither party to the Advisory or Sub-Advisory Agreements nor "interested persons" of any such party (as such term is defined for regulatory purposes), unanimously renewed the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements. In determining whether it was appropriate to renew the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Trustees requested information, provided by the Investment Adviser and each Sub-Adviser that it believed to be reasonably necessary to reach its conclusion. In connection with the renewal of the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board reviewed factors set out in judicial decisions and Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") directives relating to the renewal of advisory contracts, which include but are not limited to, the following:

 

 

 

 

(a)

the nature and quality of services to be provided by the adviser to the fund;

 

 

 

 

(b)

the various personnel furnishing such services and their duties and qualifications;

 

 

 

 

(c)

the relevant fund's investment performance as compared to standardized industry performance data;

 

 

 

 

(d)

the adviser's costs and profitability of furnishing the investment management services to the fund;

 

 

 

 

(e)

the extent to which the adviser realizes economies of scale as the fund grows larger and the sharing thereof with the fund;

 

 

 

 

(f)

an analysis of the rates charged by other investment advisers of similar funds;

 

 

 

 

(g)

the expense ratios of the applicable fund as compared to data for comparable funds; and

 

 

 

 

(h)

information with respect to all benefits to the adviser associated with the fund, including an analysis of so-called "fallout" benefits or indirect profits to the adviser from its relationship to the funds.

In evaluating the Adviser's services and its fees, the Trustees reviewed information concerning the performance of each Fund, the recent financial statements of the Adviser and its parent, and the proposed advisory fee and other fund expenses compared to the level of advisory fees and expenses paid by other similar funds. In reviewing the Advisory Agreement with the foregoing Funds, the Trustees considered, among other things, the fees, the Fund's past performance, the nature and quality of the services provided, the profitability of the adviser and its parent (estimated costs and estimated profits from furnishing the proposed services to each Fund), and the expense waivers by the Adviser. The Trustees also considered any ancillary benefits to the Adviser and its affiliates for services provided to each Fund. In this regard, the Trustees noted that there were no soft dollar arrangements involving the Adviser or Sub-Advisor in the Funds that it manages. Also, the only benefits to affiliates were the fees earned for services provided. The Trustees did not identify any single factor discussed above as all-important or controlling. The Trustees also considered the Adviser's commitment to contractually or voluntarily limit Fund expenses, the skills and capabilities of the Adviser, and the representations from the Adviser that the Funds' portfolio managers will continue to manage the Funds' in substantially the same way as it had been managed.

The following paragraphs summarize the material information and factors considered by the Board, including the Independent Trustees, as well as their conclusions relative to such factors in considering the approval of the Advisory Agreement:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services: The Investment Adviser currently provides services to fourteen funds with investment strategies ranging from non-diversified sector funds to broad-based equity funds. The experience and expertise of the Investment Adviser is attributable to the long-term focus on managing investment companies and has the potential to enhance the Fund's future performance. They have a strong culture of compliance and provide quality services. The overall nature and quality of the services provided by the Investment Adviser had historically been, and continues to be, adequate and appropriate.

Investment Performance: Upon a review of the total return history and category rankings of each Fund, the Trustees deemed the performance of each Fund to be satisfactory. In addition, each of the Funds has been meeting its investment objective. As of June 30, 2010, the performance for: (1) Integrity Growth & Income Fund for the 3-year and 5-year periods was above its index and/or near its median classification for its peer group, and the 1-year, and 10-year return was below its index and median classification; (2) Williston Basin/Mid-North America Stock Fund for the 3, 5, and 10-year periods was above its index and median classification for its peer group, and the 1-year return was below its index but above its median classification; (3) Integrity High Income Fund for the 1, 3, and 5-year periods was below its index and median classification.

Profitability: In connection with its review of fees, the Board also considered the profitability of Viking for its advisory activities. In this regard, the Board reviewed information regarding the finances of Corridor and Viking. Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that the level of profitability was reasonable in light of the services provided.

Economies of Scale: The Board briefly discussed the benefits for the Funds as the Adviser could realize economies of scale as each of the Funds grow larger, but the size of the Funds has not reached an asset level to benefit from economies of scale. The advisory fees are structured appropriately based on the size of the Fund. The advisor has indicated that a new advisory fee structure may be looked at if the Fund reaches an asset level where the Fund could benefit from economies of scale. The Trustees discussed the fact that the advisor does not benefit from economies of scale due to its relationship to the Funds as the Funds are relatively small and are its only advisory clients.

Analysis of the rates charged by other investment advisers of similar funds: A comparison of the management fees charged by the Advisor seemed reasonable to the Trustees when compared to similar funds in objective and size. The adviser is voluntarily waiving advisory fees to a certain degree due to the small size of each Fund.

Expense ratios of the applicable fund as compared to data for comparable funds: (1) a comparison of the net operating expense for the Integrity High Income Fund to other funds of similar objective and size reflected that its net expense ratio of 1.60% for Class A shares and 2.35% for Class C shares was higher in comparison to other funds of similar objective and size; (2) the projected net operating expense of 1.60% for the Integrity Growth & Income Fund and 1.50% for Williston Basin/Mid-North America Stock Fund is comparable to other funds of similar objective and size.

Information with respect to all benefits to the adviser associated with the fund, including an analysis of so-called "fallout" benefits or indirect profits to the adviser from its relationship to the funds: The Board noted that the Adviser does not realize material direct benefits from its relationship with the Fund. The Adviser does not participate in any soft dollar arrangements from securities trading in the Fund.

In voting unanimously to renew the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance. The Trustees noted that their discussion in this regard was premised on numerous factors including the nature, quality and resources of Viking, the strategic plan involving the Funds, and the potential for increased distribution and growth of the Funds. They determined that, after considering all relevant factors, the adoption of the Advisory Agreements would be in the best interest of each of the Funds and its shareholders.

Sub-Advisory Agreement with JPMIM

In determining whether it was appropriate to renew the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Investment Adviser and JPMIM with respect to the High Income Fund, the Trustees requested information from JPMIM that they believed to be reasonably necessary to reach their conclusion. The following paragraphs summarize the material information and factors considered by the Board, including the Independent Trustees, as well as their conclusions relative to such factors in considering the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services: In reviewing the Agreements, the Board considered the nature, quality and extent of services to be provided by JPMIM. In this regard, the Board considered the history and investment experience of JPMIM and reviewed the qualifications, background and responsibilities of its portfolio managers and certain other relevant personnel. The Board recognized that JPMIM has significant expertise in managing high yield corporate bond portfolios and its investment style. The Board also recognized the reputation and resources of JPMIM. In light of the information presented and the considerations made, the Board was satisfied that the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Fund by JPMIM are satisfactory.

Analysis of the rates charged by other investment advisers of similar funds: The Board considered the sub-advisory fees paid to JPMIM fair and reasonable, in light of the investment sub-advisory services expected to be provided, the anticipated costs of these services and the comparability of the sub-advisory fees to fees paid by comparable mutual funds.

Information with respect to all benefits to the adviser associated with the fund, including an analysis of so-called "fallout" benefits or indirect profits to the adviser from its relationship to the funds: The Board noted, based on information presented by the Adviser, that the Sub-adviser does realize direct benefits from its relationship with the High Income Fund and does not participate in soft dollar arrangements from securities trading in the Fund.

In voting unanimously to renew the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance. The Trustees noted that their discussion in this regard was premised on numerous factors including the nature, quality and resources of JPMIM, the strategic plan involving Integrity High Income Fund, and the potential for increased distribution and growth of the Fund. Thus, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that, after considering all relevant factors, the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement would be in the best interest of the Integrity High Income Fund and its shareholders.

Potential Conflicts of Interest—Investment Adviser

Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities with respect to more than one fund or other account. More specifically, portfolio managers who manage multiple funds are presented with the following potential conflicts:

The management of multiple funds may result in a portfolio manager devoting unequal time and attention to the management of each fund. The management of multiple funds and accounts also may give rise to potential conflicts of interest if the funds and accounts have different objectives, benchmarks, time horizons, and fees as the portfolio manager must allocate his time and investment ideas across multiple funds and accounts.

 

 

 

 

Robert E. Walstad and Shannon D. Radke are Governors of Corridor, and Mr. Radke is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Corridor. Mr. Walstad and Mr. Radke own membership interests of approximately 10% and 7%, respectively, in Corridor. They received their membership interests, without a cash investment, in exchange for their contributions to Corridor (including experience in the mutual fund industry and their personal guaranties of bank financing) and, in addition, with respect to Mr. Radke, in exchange for his interest in Viking. Mr. Radke also purchased a portion of his memberships interests in Corridor. Other current employees of Corridor own, in the aggregate, approximately 23% of the total membership interests in Corridor, with each employee individually owning an interest of approximately 1%. They received their membership interests in exchange for their experience and role in the operations of Corridor, and without a cash investment.

 

 

 

 

With respect to securities transactions for the Funds, the Investment Adviser determines which broker to use to execute each order, consistent with the duty to seek best execution of the transaction. The portfolio manager may execute transactions for another fund or account that may adversely impact the value of securities held by the Funds. Securities selected for funds or accounts other than the Funds may outperform the securities selected for the Funds.

 

 

 

 

The appearance of a conflict of interest may arise where the Investment Adviser has an incentive, such as a performance-based management fee, which relates to the management of one fund but not all funds with respect to which a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities. The management of personal accounts may give rise to potential conflicts of interest; there is no assurance that the Funds' code of ethics will adequately address such conflicts. One of the portfolio manager's numerous responsibilities is to assist in the sale of Fund shares. The compensation of Shannon Radke, Robert Walstad, and Monte Avery (the "Portfolio Managers" of the Funds), is based on salary paid every other week. They are not compensated for client retention. In addition, Corridor sponsors a 401(K) plan for all its employees. This plan is funded by employee elective deferrals.

 

 

 

 

Although the Portfolio Manager generally does not trade securities in his own personal account, each of the Funds has adopted a code of ethics that, among other things, permits personal trading by employees under conditions where it has been determined that such trades would not adversely impact client accounts. Nevertheless, the management of personal accounts may give rise to potential conflicts of interest, and there is no assurance that these codes of ethics will adequately address such conflicts.

The Investment Adviser and the Funds have adopted certain compliance procedures, which are designed to address these types of conflicts. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.

Potential Conflicts of Interest—Investment Sub-Adviser for Integrity High Income Fund only

Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities with respect to more than one fund or other account. More specifically, portfolio managers who manage multiple funds are presented with the following potential conflicts:

 

 

 

 

Similar Investment Companies Sub-Advised by JPMIM

 

 

JPMIM acts as investment sub-adviser to the following investment companies, each of which has an investment objective similar to that of the Fund: Managers High Yield Fund, a series of Managers Trust II; and High Yield Bond Fund, High Yield Bond Fund, a series of SEI Institutional Investments Trust (SIIT); and High Yield Bond Fund, a series of SEI Institutional Managed Investments Trust (SIMT). The SIIT and SIMT funds are also sub-advised by Ares Management LLC and Nomura Corporate Research and Asset Management, Inc.

 

 

 

 

With respect to securities transactions for the Fund, the sub-advisor determines which broker to use to execute each order, consistent with the duty to seek best execution of the transaction. The portfolio manager may execute transactions for another fund or account that may adversely impact the value of securities held by the Fund. Securities selected for funds or accounts other than the Fund may outperform the securities selected for the Fund.

 

 

 

 

The appearance of a conflict of interest may arise where the sub-adviser has an incentive, such as a performance-based management fee, which relates to the management of one fund but not all funds with respect to which a portfolio manager has day-to-day management responsibilities. The management of personal accounts may give rise to potential conflicts of interest; there is no assurance that the sub-advisers code of ethics will adequately address such conflicts. As compensation for sub-advisory services provided to the Fund under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is required to pay JPMIM a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.35% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Since the dollar amount of the fee will increase as assets increase, JPMIM is expected to receive increased fees as the assets of the Fund increase.

 

 

 

 

JPMIM's portfolio managers participate in a competitive compensation program that is designed to attract and retain outstanding people and closely link the performance of investment professionals to client investment objectives. The total compensation program includes a base salary fixed from year to year and a variable performance bonus consisting of cash incentives and restricted stock and, may include mandatory notional investments (as described below) in selected mutual funds advised by JPMIM. These elements reflect individual performance and the performance of JPMIM's business as a whole.

 

 

 

 

Each portfolio manager's performance is formally evaluated annually based on a variety of factors including the aggregate size and blended performance of the portfolios such portfolio manager manages. Individual contribution relative to client goals carries the highest impact. Portfolio manager compensation is primarily driven by meeting, or exceeding, clients' risk and returns objectives, relative performance to competitors or competitive indices and compliance with firm policies and regulatory requirements. In evaluating each portfolio manager's performance with respect to the mutual funds he or she manages, the funds' pre-tax performance is compared to the appropriate market peer group and to each fund's benchmark index listed in the fund's prospectus over one, three and five year periods (or such shorter time as the portfolio manager has managed the fund). Investment performance is generally more heavily weighted to the long term.

 

 

 

 

Awards of restricted stock are granted as part of an employee's annual performance bonus and comprise from 0% to 40% of a portfolio manager's total bonus. As the level of incentive compensation increases, the percentage of compensation awarded in restricted stock also increases. Up to 50% of the restricted stock portion of a portfolio manager's bonus may instead be subject to a mandatory notional investment in selected mutual funds advised by JPMIM or its affiliates. When these awards vest over time, the portfolio manager receives cash equal to the market value of the notional investment in the selected mutual funds.

 

 

 

 

Potential conflicts of interest may arise with both the aggregation and allocation of securities transactions and allocation of limited investment opportunities because of market factors or investment restrictions imposed upon JPMIM and its affiliates by law, regulation, contract or internal policies. Allocations of aggregated trades, particularly trade orders that were only partially completed due to limited availability and allocation of investment opportunities generally, could raise a potential conflict of interest, as JPMIM or its affiliates may have an incentive to allocate securities that are expected to increase in value to favored accounts. Initial public offerings, in particular, are frequently of very limited availability. JPMIM and its affiliates may be perceived as causing accounts it manages to participate in an offering to increase JPMIM's or its affiliates' overall allocation of securities in that offering.

 

 

 

 

A potential conflict of interest also may be perceived to arise if transactions in one account closely follow related transactions in a different account, such as when a purchase increases the value of securities previously purchased by another account, or when a sale in one account lowers the sale price received in a sale by a second account. If JPMIM or its affiliates manage accounts that engage in short sales of securities of the type in which the Fund invests, JPMIM or its affiliates could be seen as harming the performance of the Fund for the benefit of the accounts engaging in short sales if the short sales cause the market value of the securities to fall.

 

 

 

 

As an internal policy matter, JPMIM or its affiliates may from time to time maintain certain overall investment limitations on the securities positions or positions in other financial instruments that JPMIM or its affiliates will take on behalf of its clients due to, among other things, liquidity concerns and regulatory restrictions. Such policies may preclude the Fund from purchasing particular securities or financial instruments, even if such securities or financial instruments would otherwise meet the Fund's objectives.

The goal of JPMIM and its affiliates is to meet their fiduciary obligation with respect to all clients. JPMIM and its affiliates have policies and procedures designed to manage the conflicts. JPMIM and its affiliates monitor a variety of areas, including compliance with fund guidelines, review of allocation decisions and compliance with JPMIM's Codes of Ethics and JP Morgan Chase & Co.'s Code of Conduct.

With respect to the allocation of investment opportunities, JPMIM and its affiliates also have certain policies designed to achieve fair and equitable allocation of investment opportunities among its clients over time. For example: Orders for the same equity security are aggregated on a continual basis throughout each trading day consistent with JPMIM's duty of best execution for its clients. If aggregated trades are fully executed, accounts participating in the trade will be allocated their pro rata share on an average price basis. Partially completed orders generally will be allocated among the participating accounts on a pro rata average price basis, subject to certain limited exceptions. For example, accounts that would receive a de minimis allocation relative to their size may be excluded from the order. Another exception may occur when thin markets or price volatility require that an aggregated order be completed in multiple executions over several days. If partial completion of the order would result in an uneconomic allocation to an account due to fixed transaction or custody costs, JPMIM or its affiliates may exclude small orders until 50% of the total order is completed. Then the small orders will be executed. Following this procedure, small orders will lag in the early execution of the order, but will be completed before completion of the total order.

Purchases of money market instruments and fixed income securities cannot always be allocated pro rata across the accounts with the same investment strategy and objective. However, JPMIM and its affiliates attempt to mitigate any potential unfairness by basing non pro rata allocations traded through a single trading desk or system upon a predetermined criteria for the selection of investments and a disciplined process for allocating securities with similar duration, credit quality and liquidity in the good faith judgment of JPMIM or its affiliates so that fair and equitable allocation will occur over time.

The Adviser and the Fund have adopted certain compliance procedures, which are designed to address these types of conflicts. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.

EX-99.CODE ETH 4 code20091014.htm

CODE OF ETHICS FOR THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND PRINCIPAL
FINANCIAL OFFICERS OF THE INTEGRITY VIKING FAMILY OF FUNDS

This Code of Ethics (the "Code") for Principal Executive and Principal Financial Officers has been adopted by each of the investment companies within the Integrity Viking Funds complex (collectively, "Funds") to effectuate compliance with Section 406 under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules adopted to implement Section 406.

This Code applies to each Fund's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, controller or persons deemed to be performing similar critical financial and accounting functions (the "Covered Officers").

Purposes of the Code

This Code sets forth standards and procedures that are reasonably designed to promote:

 

 

 

 

Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

 

 

 

 

Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a registrant files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and in other public communications made by the Funds;

 

 

 

 

Compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;

 

 

 

 

The prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and

 

 

 

 

Accountability for adherence to the Code.

In general, the principles that govern honest and ethical conduct, including the avoidance of conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships, reflect, at the minimum: (1) the duty in performing any responsibilities as a Covered Officer, to place the interests of the Funds ahead of personal interests; (2) the fundamental standard that Covered Officers should not take inappropriate advantage of their positions; (3) the duty to assure that the Fund's financial reports to its shareholders are prepared honestly and accurately in accordance with applicable rules and regulations; and (4) the duties performed by the Covered Officer on behalf of the Funds are conducted in an honest and ethical manner.

Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual and apparent conflicts of interest.

Ethical Handling of Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest

A "conflict of interest" occurs when a Covered Officer's private interest interferes with the interests of the Funds. Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Funds and already are subject to the conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Investment Company Act") and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 ("Investment Advisers Act"). This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace existing programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code.

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between each Fund and the investment adviser of which the Covered Officers are also officers and/or employees. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties, be involved in establishing procedures and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the adviser and the Funds. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Funds and the adviser and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Funds. If such duties are performed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act, such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Funds' Boards of Directors/Trustees ("Boards") that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this or other codes.

Prohibited Activities

Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act. The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. The foremost principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed before the interest of the Funds or their shareholders.

Each Covered Officer must:

 

 

 

 

Not use his personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by the Funds whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Funds or their shareholders;

 

 

 

 

Not cause the Funds to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit the Funds;

 

 

 

 

Not use material non-public knowledge of portfolio transactions made or contemplated for the Funds to trade personally or cause others to trade personally in contemplation of the market effect of such transactions;

 

 

 

 

Not intentionally cause a Fund to fail to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations, including failure to comply with the requirement of full, fair, accurate, understandable and timely disclosure in reports and documents that a Fund files with, or submits to, the SEC and in public communications made by the Funds;

 

 

 

 

Not fail to acknowledge or certify compliance with this Code on an annual basis.

There are some conflict of interest situations that should always be discussed with the Compliance Department or, under certain circumstances, the Board of Directors/Trustees if material. Examples of these include:

 

 

 

 

Service as a director on the board of any public company absent prior authorization by the Board;

 

 

 

 

The receipt of any gifts of more than de minimis value, generally gifts in excess of $100;

 

 

 

 

The receipt of any entertainment from any company with which the Funds have current or prospective business dealings unless such entertainment is business related, reasonable in cost, appropriate as to time and place, and not so frequent as to raise a suggestion of unethical conduct;

 

 

 

 

Any ownership interest in, or employment relationship with, any of the Fund's service providers, other than its investment adviser, principal underwriter, administrator or any affiliated person thereof;

 

 

 

 

A direct or indirect financial interest in commissions paid by the Funds for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer's employment, such as compensation or equity ownership.

Disclosure and Compliance

 

 

 

 

Each Covered Officer must familiarize himself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Funds;

 

 

 

 

Each Covered Officer must not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Funds to others, including to the Fund's directors/trustees and auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations;

 

 

 

 

Each Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the Funds and the adviser with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Funds file with the SEC and in other public communications made by the Funds; and

 

 

 

 

It is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

Reporting and Accountability

Each Covered Officer must:

 

 

 

 

Upon adoption of the Code or upon becoming a Covered Officer, affirm in writing to the Board that he has received, read, understands and will adhere to this Code;

 

 

 

 

Annually affirm to the Board that he has received and read the Code and that he understands that he is subject to, and has complied with, the requirements of the Code;

 

 

 

 

Not retaliate against any other Covered Officer or any employee of the Funds or their affiliated persons for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith; and

 

 

 

 

Notify Compliance, who will then notify the Fund's Audit Committee or the Fund's legal counsel promptly if he knows of any violation of this Code or if a potential violation exists. Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code.

The Fund's Audit Committee (the "Committee") or in their discretion, the Fund's legal counsel, is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation. Any approvals or waivers sought by the Principal Executive Officer will be considered by the Committee. In determining whether to waive any of the provisions of this Code, the Committee will consider whether the proposed waiver (1) is prohibited by the Code; (2) is consistent with honest and ethical conduct; and (3) will result in a conflict of interest between the Covered Officer's personal and professional obligations to the Funds.

Investing Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest

The Funds will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing the Code:

 

 

 

 

The Committee will take all appropriate action to investigate any potential violations reported to them;

 

 

 

 

If, after such investigation, the Committee believes that no violation has occurred, no further action is necessary;

 

 

 

 

Any matter that the Committee believes is a violation will be reported to the Board;

 

 

 

 

If the Board agrees that a violation has occurred, it will consider appropriate action, which may include review of, and appropriate modifications to, applicable policies and procedures; notification to appropriate personnel of the investment adviser or its board; or a recommendation to dismiss the Covered Officer;

 

 

 

 

The Committee will be responsible for granting waivers, as appropriate; and

 

 

 

 

Any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.

Other Policies and Procedures

This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Funds for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. While other policies or procedures of the Funds, the Funds' adviser, principal underwriter, or other service providers govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code.

Amendments

At least annually, the Board of Directors/Trustees of each Fund will review the Code and determine whether any amendments are necessary or desirable. Any amendments to this Code, other than amendments to Exhibit A, must be approved or ratified by a majority vote of the Board, including a majority of independent directors.

Record Retention and Confidentiality

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly to the extent permitted by applicable laws, rules and regulations. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the appropriate Board and its counsel.

For Internal Use Only

The Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Funds and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of any Fund, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.
