Aware Asset Management, Inc.
Code of Ethics
Effective December 16, 2019

High ethical standards are essential for the success of Aware Asset Management, Inc. (AAM) to maintain the confidence of our Clients. AAM’s business interests are best served by adherence to the principle that the interests of our Clients come first.
In recognition of AAM’s fiduciary duty to our Clients and our desire to maintain high ethical standards, AAM has adopted the Code of Conduct of its parent organization, Aware Integrated, Inc., dba Stella (Stella Code) as well as this Code of Ethics (the AAM Code) that applies to all Access Persons. Together, the Stella Code and the AAM Code set forth standards of business conduct in accordance with our fiduciary duty to Clients; fosters compliance with applicable federal securities laws; and eliminates transactions that could be viewed as a conflict with the best interests of our Clients. The AAM Code also provides a means to resolve any actual or potential conflicts in favor of our Clients. A Client means the owner of any account, including funds, where AAM serves as investment adviser, sub-adviser or an entity to which AAM provides asset allocation advisory services.
The provisions of this AAM Code apply to all Access Persons, which for purposes of this AAM Code includes all Directors and Officers of AAM, along with all employees of Stella Resource Co., Inc. (Stella Resources) who are assigned to do work on behalf of AAM.
As an Officer or Director of AAM or an employee of Stella Resources who has been assigned to do work on behalf of AAM, adherence to the Stella Code and the AAM Code are a condition of employment. Violations of the Stella Code or the AAM Code may result in written warnings, written reprimands, fines, cancellation of transactions, disgorgement of profits, up to and including the suspension or termination of employment. This responsibility is shared by all Access Persons. If you are uncertain about how any provision of the Stella Code applies to you, you should contact your manager or Blue Cross’ Vice President, Audit, Compliance and Privacy Officer. If you are uncertain about how any provision of AAM’s Code of Ethics applies to you, you should contact your manager or the Chief Compliance Officer of Aware Asset Management (CCO of AAM).
The policies and procedures for AAM are provided in the AAM Compliance Manual, including information on:
Political Contributions (Pay-to-Play)
Privacy
Gifts, Business Entertainment
Non-Cash Compensation
Outside Business Activities
Insider Trading and Material Non-Public Information





1. Standards of Business Conduct

AAM shall conduct its business at all times consistent with its status as a fiduciary to our Clients. This means AAM has affirmative duties of care, loyalty, honesty, and good faith in connection with all of its activities for our Clients and must act in the best interest of our Clients. This includes putting Client interests first at all times.
This AAM Code and other AAM policies and procedures address specific elements of AAM’s fiduciary obligations. However, they cannot, and are not intended to, address all circumstances in which consideration of AAM’s fiduciary obligations will arise.
Accordingly, AAM expects all Access Persons to adhere strictly to the specific requirements of this AAM Code, the Stella Code, and any other policies and procedures, but to also think beyond them and to conduct themselves with honesty and integrity in accordance with AAM’s fiduciary obligations. Any activity that could be perceived as improper jeopardizes AAM’s integrity, even if it does not expressly violate a rule or a specific provision of this AAM Code, and has the potential to harm AAM’s reputation.
(a) Compliance with Laws and Regulations - In addition to adhering strictly to the specific requirements of this AAM Code and all other policies and procedures, AAM expects all Access Persons to respect and obey all applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations. This includes prohibiting any activity which directly or indirectly:
Defrauds a Client in any manner;
Misleads a Client or regulator, including any statement that omits material facts;
Operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit on a Client;
Functions as a manipulative practice with respect to a Client or regulator; or
Functions as a manipulative practice with respect to securities.
(b) Confidentiality of Information - AAM maintains informational barriers and other reasonably designed controls to ensure that it conducts its business in accordance with its fiduciary obligations to Clients and in compliance with all federal and state securities laws. In addition to the requirements detailed in the Stella Code, AAM and its Access Persons share a duty to ensure the confidentiality of Client information, including account numbers, Client holdings, transactions and securities recommendations. This includes the holdings and other non-public information related to accounts or funds for which AAM provides investment advisory or sub-advisory services. Any unauthorized access, use or disclosure of confidential, protected or proprietary information is prohibited. Confidential information includes information that, if exposed, could negatively impact AAM’s operation effectiveness, cause a meaningful financial loss, impact competitive advantage or cause a major loss in customer confidence. To ensure this duty is fulfilled, AAM has adopted this AAM Code as well as the Stella Code. All Access Persons are required to adhere to each of these policies. Access Persons who come to AAM from a competitor must take steps to prevent disclosure of confidential or proprietary information of their former employer.
(c) Conflicts of Interest - In addition to the requirements detailed in the Stella Code, Access Persons should be aware that certain financial, business or other activities or relationships may be at odds with AAM’s or Clients’ interests or might conflict with their assigned duties. Given the nature of AAM’s business, conflicts can arise in various contexts. Where possible, our objective is to avoid any conflict between AAM, Access Persons, and Clients. As a fiduciary, our objective is to serve the best interests of the Clients, which means the interests of AAM’s Clients must always come first. All Access Persons are required to disclose personal, financial and other interests and activities that may pose a conflict of interest through completing the Statement of Disclosure annually. If you are concerned that a situation you encounter or an activity that you are involved in may present a conflict, contact your manager or the CCO of AAM for guidance before proceeding or taking any affirmative action.






(d) Trading on Material Nonpublic Information - In the course of performing your duties as an officer, director or Stella Resources employee assigned to do work on behalf of AAM, you may receive Material Nonpublic Information. Material Nonpublic Information is information that is both (i) material, meaning that its disclosure would probably have an impact on the price of a security or if reasonable investors would want to know the information before making an investment decision, and (ii) nonpublic, meaning that it has not been disseminated or made available to the marketplace in general. Trading activity or proposed trading activity in Client accounts may be one form of Material Nonpublic Information.
It is a violation of the fiduciary obligation owed to Clients and securities laws to use knowledge about trading activity or proposed trading activity in Clients’ accounts to engage in trades for your own benefit. The terms trading ahead or front running are used to describe the improper practice where an Access Person trades for his or her own account before a trade in the same security occurs on behalf of a Client’s account, knowing that the effect of the trading in the Client’s account will be to his or her personal benefit. The Maintaining Accounts and Trading Rules explained below are designed to prevent, detect and correct these improper practices.
These requirements are also reasonably designed to allow AAM to address potential or actual issues related to trading on the basis of Material Nonpublic Information, commonly referred to as insider trading. If you believe you have come into possession of Material Nonpublic information, you must immediately notify the CCO of AAM, and you cannot trade in or otherwise communicate with others about the securities of the issuer (or any related securities or instruments) about which you believe you have Material Nonpublic information.
These restrictions do not apply to information that this immaterial or information that was Material Nonpublic Information that subsequently has been disseminated or made available to the marketplace in general. Improperly disseminating Material Nonpublic Information, commonly referred to as leaking information, is a breach of AAM’s confidentiality obligations and a violation of the AAM Code.
Further information is available in the AAM Compliance Manual.
2. Maintaining Accounts & Trading Rules
Access Persons and their Immediate Family Members are required to follow specific requirements to maintain accounts that can transact in certain types of securities. These accounts are known as Covered Accounts, and the relevant securities are known as Covered Investments.
For purposes of the AAM Code and these requirements, Immediate Family Members are spouses, domestic partners, children, stepchildren, grandchildren, parents, stepparents, grandparents, siblings, mothers-in-law, fathers-in-law, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, inclusive of adoptive relationships.
Covered Investments include investments in securities, broadly defined to include all types of equity and debt investments (including investments in a related security, such as an option), with the exception of the following securities:
U.S. government bonds;
Bankers’ acceptances;
Bank certificates of deposit;





Commercial paper;
High-quality short-term debt instruments (such as money market mutual funds);
Money market funds;
Shares issued by open-end funds (mutual funds) other than any open-end fund for which AAM serves as an adviser or sub-adviser and;
Shares issued by unit investment trusts invested exclusively in one or more open-ended funds.
If changes to these lists occur between updates to the AAM Code, the CCO of AAM will communicate such changes in writing to all Access Persons.
Covered Accounts refer to all accounts that can transact in Covered Investments in which any Access Person, their Immediate Family Members who share the same residence, has an interest or beneficial ownership. Beneficial ownership includes having any direct or indirect financial interest in an account - including an account with a financial institution or a 401(k) plan or other employee benefit account - regardless of the name in which the account is held. Beneficial ownership also includes having any discretionary control over the purchase or sale of Covered Investments in any such account. The existence of all Covered Accounts maintained and established while an Access Person must be reported regardless of whether the account transacts in or holds Covered Investments.
Exhibit A (Reference Chart for Covered Accounts) provides non-exhaustive examples of Covered Accounts.
If you or an Immediate Family Member maintain any pre-existing brokerage accounts, you are required to disclose all accounts to the CCO of AAM as described in the AAM Code Reporting Requirements section, below (See Exhibit E: Covered Account Report). Access Persons who maintain personal brokerage accounts are encouraged to have duplicate copies of account statements and confirmations sent directly to the attention of the CCO of AAM. If a new Covered Account is established, it must be disclosed to the CCO of AAM immediately and prior to transacting in Covered Investments in the account. Disclosure of the new covered account must include the date the account was established, the name of the broker or financial institution, the ownership of the account and the account number (See Exhibit E: Covered Account Report).
The specific procedures related to personal trading are set forth in this section and require, among other things, the reporting of securities transactions and holdings, as well as the pre-approval of certain types of transactions. These procedures apply to transactions for Access Persons themselves, as well as transactions for their Immediate Family Members sharing the same residence, and any partnership, trusts, estates, etc. in which any of them has an interest in a Covered Account.
Additionally, certain types of Covered Investments require additional approvals, including:
a.
Limited Offerings (Private Placements) - An Access Person may participate in Limited Offerings, subject to advance review and approval by the CCO of AAM who has been provided with full details of the proposed transaction. Limited Offerings, also known as private placements, refers to an offering that is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to section 4(a)(2) or section 4(a)(5) or pursuant to Regulation D Rule 504 or Rule 506. Common examples include securities purchased by angel investors, private real estate investment trusts (REITs) and private funds, e.g. hedge funds or private equity funds. Requests to participate in Limited Offerings, as well as reporting on pre-existing positions at time of employment, must be submitted for pre-approval along with copies of the offering documents and subscription agreements. This rule applies to initial investments as well as subsequent investments. Approvals granted by the CCO of AAM will be based in part on the Access Person’s ability to demonstrate that no current or potential conflict of interest will arise from engaging in the transaction. Access Persons who own securities purchased through Limited Offerings, whether held at the start of employment or acquired during their employment, may at any time be required to halt any and all transactions involving those securities or even divest the securities if potential conflicts of interest should arise.






b.
Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) - An Access Person may purchase securities in an initial public offering, subject to advance review and approval by the CCO of AAM who has been provided with full details of the proposed transaction. In the event that an Access Person holds securities in a company that has announced that it will engage in an IPO, the Access Person must bring the information about the impending IPO to the attention of the CCO of AAM at least three business days prior to the public offering.
c.
Trading in the Aware Ultra-Short Duration Enhanced Income ETF (NYSE:AWTM) - Because AAM serves as the sub-adviser to the Aware Ultra-Short Duration Enhanced Income ETF (‘AWTM’ or ‘the ETF’), trading is restricted for this fund. The following process and conditions apply:
1.
DO NOT TRADE ON MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION. If you are, or think you are, in possession of material non-public information, do not place a trade.
2.
To request trade authorization, send an email to the Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) (Jayson.alexander@awareassetmgmt.com) and the Investment Director (ID) (John.Kaprich@awareassetmgmt.com) expressing your interest in placing the trade in AWTM. a. The CCO and ID will confer, then the CCO will respond to your request. Please note that we will make good faith efforts to respond promptly to your request, but timing is not guaranteed and neither AAM nor the CCO or ID bear any responsibility for anything that happens or doesn’t happen if we fail to respond promptly.
3.
Approvals will be granted for the day only. If the trade is not executed the same day, a new request for authorization is required. Access persons are prohibited from using Good ‘Til Canceled (GTC) or contingent orders which could extend beyond the day and must use Day Orders when transacting in AWTM.
4.
Access persons are not assured the right to sell any shares they own at any specific time. While extended trading prohibitions are unlikely, access persons transacting in AWTM assume this risk.
5.
Shares of AWTM remain a reportable security. Holdings will be monitored for unauthorized trades in AWTM.

d.
Restricted Securities - AAM may from time to time, for a variety of reasons, identify issuers whose securities Access Persons are restricted from trading. If an issuer is on the Restricted List, no trading will be permitted.
3. AAM Code Reporting Requirements
The AAM Code Reporting Requirements apply to the Covered Accounts with Covered Investments described above in Section 2 (Maintaining Accounts & Trading Rules).
a.
Access Persons Reporting Requirements - Initial - Within (10) calendar days of the start of assignment to do work on behalf of AAM or any other occurrence that results in an individual being deemed an Access Person (e.g., appointment to the AAM Board of Directors), the Access Person will disclose all Covered Accounts and Covered Investments dated within 45 days of becoming an Access Person, as provided in Exhibit C (Initial/Annual Holdings Report) and Exhibit E (Covered Account Report).





b.
Access Persons Reporting Requirements - Ongoing - The following annual and quarterly reporting is required by all Access Persons:
Annually. Access Persons will provide a list of their Covered Accounts and Covered Investments dated within 45 days after the end of the calendar quarter that triggers annual holdings reporting. Access Persons will certify that the accounts and holdings disclosed are current, accurate, and complete. (See Exhibit C: Initial/Annual Holdings Report and Exhibit E: Covered Account Report)
Quarterly. Access Persons are required to report all transactions in Covered Accounts within 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter. Quarterly transaction information related to any existing Covered Account or information concerning any new Covered Account for which AAM is not receiving statements or information directly from the broker-dealer or other intermediary must be reported to the CCO of AAM. (See Exhibit D: Quarterly Transactions Report)
Access Persons do not need to provide quarterly transactional information to AAM if the Access Person has previously arranged to have their broker-dealer provide the required transaction and account information directly to AAM, however, the Access Person must still complete the applicable portions of the Quarterly Transactions Report (See Exhibit D: Quarterly Transactions Report). This exemption does not apply to the Initial Holdings Reports.
c.
Reviews of Chief Compliance Officer of AAM Personal Trades - In order to prevent any potential conflicts of interest in the personal trading activities of Compliance personnel, such personnel are not permitted to pre-clear, review, or assess compliance with the AAM Code as it relates to their own personal trading activities.
The CCO of AAM’s personal trading activities will be monitored and approved by the AAM President and Chief Investment Officer, in consultation with Blue Cross’s chief legal officer and/or Vice President, Audit, Compliance and Privacy Officer.
4. Exemptions
The CCO of AAM is primarily responsible for administering the provisions of the AAM Code. When applicable and in consultation with Blue Cross’ Chief Legal Officer and/or Vice President, Audit, Compliance and Privacy Officer, limited exemptions to certain requirements of the AAM Code may be granted where circumstances warrant and the CCO of AAM is satisfied that granting the exemption would not represent a breach of federal or state securities laws, a breach of AAM’s fiduciary obligations or undue risk to its Clients or AAM. All requests for such exemptions shall be in writing and the CCO of AAM will maintain a written record of its response.
5. Reporting Violations
Officers, Directors or Stella Resources employees assigned to do work on behalf of AAM all have direct, personal responsibility for following the Stella Code and the AAM Code as well as seeking help or clarification to avoid unethical or illegal business conduct. Officers, Directors or Stella Resources employees assigned to do work on behalf of AAM also have a duty to internally report any activity that they, in good faith, believe is or may be a violation of the Stella Code or of the AAM Code or other laws regulating the business.






These reports will be documented and those reports specific to the operations of AAMt will periodically be reviewed by the Vice President, Audit, Compliance and Privacy Officer of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota and the CCO of AAM,
