EX-99.P.1 4 0004.txt CODE OF ETHICS OF THE REGISTRANT EXHIBIT (P1) WEBS INDEX FUND, INC. CODE OF ETHICS Effective May, 2000 WEBS Index Fund, Inc. (the WEBS Fund) is confident that its directors, officers and employees act with integrity and good faith. The WEBS Fund recognizes, however, that personal interests may conflict with the WEBS Fund's interests where officers or directors: . know about present or future portfolio transactions; or . have the power to influence portfolio transactions; and . engage in securities transactions for their personal account(s). In an effort to prevent these conflicts and in accordance with Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the 1940 Act), the WEBS Fund has adopted this Code of Ethics (the Code) to prohibit transactions and conduct that create conflicts of interest, and to establish reporting requirements and enforcement procedures. (Definitions of underlined terms are ---------- included in Appendix A). I. About the WEBS Fund and the Advisor. The WEBS Fund is a registered investment company that consists of multiple investment portfolios (the Funds). Barclays Global Fund Advisors (the Advisor) is the investment advisor for the Funds. The Advisor manages the Funds' assets with a view to matching the performance of each Fund's corresponding benchmark index as closely as possible. In buying and selling securities for the WEBS Funds, the Advisor employs replication and representative sampling strategies. Because of these investment methodologies, the personal securities activities of the Directors and officers of the WEBS Fund are less likely to create a conflict of interest than they may in investment companies that employ performance-based or fundamental research-driven investment or other discretionary strategies. Consequently, the WEBS Fund has considered, but not adopted, many of the recommendations of the Investment Company Institute's Advisory Group on Personal Trading. II. About this Code of Ethics A. Who is covered by the Code? All WEBS Fund officers; ------------------ All Directors, both interested and independent; and Natural persons ---------- ----------- in a control relationship to a Fund who obtain information ------- concerning recommendations about the purchase or sale of any ---------------- security by a Fund (Natural Control Persons). ------- B. What rules apply to me? This Code sets forth specific prohibitions regarding securities ---------- transactions and sets out certain reporting requirements. For the reporting requirements that apply to you, please refer to Parts A - D, as indicated below. Independent Directors Part A --------------------- Interested Directors Part B -------------------- WEBS Fund Officers Part C ------------------ Natural Control Persons Part D ------- III. Statement of General Principles. In recognition of the trust and confidence placed in the WEBS Fund by its shareholders, and because the WEBS Fund believes that its operations should benefit its shareholders, the WEBS Fund has adopted the following general principles: A. The interests of our shareholders are paramount. Shareholder interests must be placed before your own. B. You must accomplish all personal securities transactions in a manner that avoids a conflict between your personal interests and those of the WEBS Fund and its shareholders. C. You must avoid actions or activities that allow you or your family to profit or benefit from your position with the WEBS Fund, or that bring into question your independence or judgment. IV. Prohibition Against Fraud, Deceit and Manipulation. You cannot, in connection with the direct or indirect purchase or sale of a security held or to be acquired by a Fund: ------------------------------- A. employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud the Fund; B. make to the Fund any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state to the Fund a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading; C. engage in any act, practice or course of business that operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon the Fund; D. engage in any manipulative practice with respect to the Fund. V. Review and Enforcement of the WEBS Fund's Code. A. Appointment of a Review Officer. A review officer (the Review Officer) will be appointed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors (Chairman) to perform the duties described in this Section V. B. The Review Officer's Duties and Responsibilities. (1) The Review Officer shall notify each person who becomes an Access Person of the WEBS Fund and is required to report under ------------- the Code of their reporting obligations, no later than 10 days before the first quarter in which such person is obligated to begin reporting. (2) The Review Officer will, on a quarterly basis, compare all reported personal securities transactions with the Funds' ---------- completed portfolio transactions and a list of securities being ---------------- considered for purchase (i.e., trade lists) by the Advisor ----------------------- during the quarter to determine whether a Code violation may have occurred. The Review Officer may request additional information or take any other appropriate measure that the Review Officer decides is necessary to aid in this determination. Before determining that a person has violated the Code, the Review Officer must give the person an opportunity to supply explanatory material. (3) If the Review Officer finds that a Code violation may have occurred, the Review Officer must create and submit a written report regarding the possible violation, together with the confidential quarterly report and any explanatory material provided by the person, to the Chairman and legal counsel (Counsel) for the WEBS Fund. The Chairman and Counsel will determine whether the person violated the Code. (4) No person is required to participate in a determination of whether he or she has committed a Code violation or discuss the imposition of any sanction against himself or herself. (5) If required, the Review Officer will submit his or her own reports (as required) to an alternate Review Officer who will fulfill the duties of the Review Officer with respect to such reports. If a securities transaction of the Review Officer is ---------- under review for a possible violation, an officer of the WEBS Fund will act for the alternate Review Officer for purposes of this Section V. C. Exceptions. In the event that a person subject to the Code believes that he or she is unable to comply with certain provisions of the Code, the person must notify the Review Officer in writing, setting forth the reasons why he or she cannot comply with the Code. The Review Officer, in his or her discretion, may exempt this person from any such provisions of the Code if the Review Officer determines that (a) the services of the person are valuable to the WEBS Fund or the Advisor; (b) the failure to grant this exemption will result in an undue burden on the person or prevent the person from being able to render services to the WEBS Fund or the Advisor; and (c) granting the exemption does not detrimentally affect the shareholders of the WEBS Fund or the Advisor. The Review Officer will prepare a report documenting the nature of any exemption granted, the persons involved and the reasons for granting such exemption. Any person granted an exemption with respect to a particular transaction must furnish the Review Officer with a written report concerning that transaction within three days of the transaction. D. Sanctions. If the Chairman and Counsel determine that a person violated the Code pursuant to paragraph B.(3) above, disciplinary action may be taken and sanctions may be imposed. VI. Recordkeeping. The WEBS Fund will maintain records as set forth below. These records will be maintained in accordance with Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act and the following requirements. They will be available for examination by representatives of the Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulatory agencies. A. A copy of this Code and any other code adopted by the WEBS Fund which is, or at any time within the past five years has been, in effect will be preserved in an easily accessible place. B. A record of any Code violation and of any sanctions taken will be preserved in an easily accessible place for a period of at least five years following the end of the fiscal year in which the violation occurred. C. A copy of each Quarterly, Initial and Annual Report submitted under this Code, including any information provided in lieu of such reports, will be preserved for a period of at least five years from the end of the fiscal year in which it is made, for the first two years in an easily accessible place. D.

E. A copy of each annual issues report and accompanying verification, as required by Section VIII.C of this Code, must be maintained for at least five years from the end of the fiscal year in which it is made, for the first two years in any easily accessible place.

A person who is both an access person of the WEBS Fund and an ------------- access person of the Advisor is only required to report under ------------- and otherwise comply with the Advisor's or principal underwriter's Rule 17j-1 code of ethics, provided that such code has been adopted pursuant to and in compliance with Rule 17j-1. Such persons, however, are still subject to the principles and prohibitions contained in Sections III and IV hereof. B. Procedures. The Advisor must: (1) Submit to the Board of Directors a copy of its code of ethics adopted pursuant to Rule 17j-1; (2) Promptly furnish to the WEBS Fund, upon request, copies of any reports made under its code of ethics by any person who is also covered by the WEBS Fund's Code; and (3) Promptly report to the WEBS Fund in writing any material amendments to its code of ethics, along with the certification described under Section VIII.C hereof. VIII. Miscellaneous. A. Confidentiality.

Such reports and related information, however, may be produced to the Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulatory agencies. B. Interpretation of Provisions. The Board of Directors may from time to time adopt such interpretations of this Code as it deems appropriate. C. Annual Issues Report and Accompanying Certification. At least annually, each of the Review Officer, the Advisor, any other investment advisor to a Fund (including any sub- advisor) and the WEBS Fund's principal underwriter (if applicable) must provide the following to the Board: (1) a report that describes any issues that arose during the previous year under the applicable code of ethics and any procedures thereto, including any material code or procedural violations and any resulting sanctions; and (2) a certification that it has adopted procedures necessary to prevent its access persons from violating its code of ethics. -------------- The Review Officer, Advisor, other advisors and principal underwriter (if applicable) may report to the Board more frequently as they deem necessary or appropriate and shall do so as requested by the Board.

APPENDIX A Definitions General Note The definitions and terms used in this Code of Ethics are intended to mean the same as they do under the 1940 Act and the other federal securities laws. If a definition hereunder conflicts with the definition in the 1940 Act or other federal securities laws, or if a term used in this Code is not defined, you should follow the definitions and meanings in the 1940 Act or other federal securities laws, as applicable. Access person means any director, trustee or officer of a fund or of a fund's ------------- investment adviser; any employee of a fund or its investment adviser (or of any company in a control relationship to the fund or investment adviser) who, in connection with his or her regular functions or duties, makes, participates in, or obtains information regarding the purchase or sale of securities by a fund ---------------- ---------- or whose functions relate to the making of any recommendations with respect to such purchases or sales; and any natural person in a control relationship to a ------- fund or its investment adviser, who obtains information concerning recommendations made to the fund with regard to the purchase or sale of ---------------- securities by the fund. ---------- Beneficial ownership means the same as it does under Section 16 of the -------------------- Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and Rule 16a-1(a)(2) thereunder. You should generally consider yourself the "beneficial owner" of any securities in which you have a direct or indirect pecuniary (monetary) interest. In addition, you should consider yourself the beneficial owner of securities held by your spouse, your minor children, a relative who shares your home, or other persons by reason of any contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship that provides you with sole or shared voting or investment power. Control means the same as it does under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. ------- Section 2(a)(9) defines "control" as the power to exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of a company, unless such power is solely the result of an official position with such company. Ownership of 25% or more of a company's outstanding voting securities is presumed to give the holder of such securities control over the company. This presumption may be countered by the facts and circumstances of a given situation. High quality short-term debt instrument means any instrument that has a maturity --------------------------------------- at issuance of less than 366 days and that is rated in one of the two highest rating categories by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (e.g., Moody's Investors Service). Independent Director means a director of the WEBS Fund who is not an "interested -------------------- person" of the WEBS Fund within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act. Interested Director means a Director of the WEBS Fund who is an "interested ------------------- person" of the WEBS Fund within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act. IPO (i.e., initial public offering) means an offering of securities registered --- under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") the issuer of which, immediately before the registration, was not subject to the reporting requirements of Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Limited offering means an offering that is exempt from registration under the ---------------- Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(2), Section 4(6), Rule 504, Rule 505 or Rule 506 (e.g., private placements). Purchase or sale of a security includes, among other things, the writing of an ------------------------------ option to purchase or sell a security. -------- Security has the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act, except -------- that it does not include direct obligations of the U.S. Government, bankers' acceptances, bank certificates of deposit, commercial paper, high quality short- ------------------- term debt instruments, including repurchase agreements, shares issued by --------------------- registered open-end investment companies or securities of an issuer whose securities trade in a country or market in which a Fund does not invest. A security held or to be acquired by a Fund means: (i) any security that within ------------------------------- -------- the most recent 15 days is or has been held by the Fund or is being or has been ----------------- considered by the Advisor for purchase by the Fund and (ii) any option to ---------- purchase or sell, and any security convertible into or exchangeable for, a security. -------- A security is being purchased by a Fund from the time a purchase or sale program -------- --------------- has been communicated to the person who places buy and sell orders for the Fund until the program has been fully completed or terminated. A security is being considered for purchase by a Fund when the Advisor -------- ----------------------------- identifies a security as such. For purposes of this Code, the Advisor considers securities on its "trade lists" as those "being considered for purchase." WEBS Fund officer means any person lawfully elected by the Board and authorized ----------------- to act on behalf of the WEBS Fund.
