SOCIAL NETWORKING

It is critical that all access persons be sensitized to the problems that may arise in the release of confidential or unauthorized business-related information on access person’s personal social networks.

•

The CCO may monitor and review the social networks of access persons; and

It is recommended that access persons utilize the maximum privacy settings available on these sites to avoid any potential compromise of personal data.

Access persons need to recognize that business-related information posted on the various social outlets is immediately available to an immense audience and could constitute advertisement, an endorsement or even the release of non-public information. Any inappropriate release via an access person's social networking sources may be considered a deficiency, resulting in company and access person discipline which could further result in disciplines, including termination of employment.

DIRECTORSHIPS

Access persons may serve on the board of directors of publicly traded companies in accordance with the following policies and procedures:

PIA Manual Effective August 2013

POLICIES & PROCEDURES MANUAL EXHIBIT C1

INSIDER TRADING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

The Insider Trading and Securities Fraud Enforcement Act of 1988 (“1988 Act”) further extends the safeguards of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as it pertains to "insider trading."

An "insider" is a person with access to material key information about a publicly traded company before it is announced to the public. Typically, the term refers to corporate officers, directors and key employees, but may be extended to include relatives and / or others in a position to capitalize on insider information. Additionally, persons may be characterized as "temporary" or "constructive" insiders if they have access to material non-public information for a legitimate purpose in the context of a transaction for a particular company. Examples include, but are not limited to accountants, attorneys and even printers who print financial information.

"Insider Information" describes material non-public information regarding corporate events that have not yet been made public. For example, the officers of a firm know in advance if the company is about to be acquired or if the latest earning report is going to differ significantly from information previously released. If information reasonably influences the purchase, sale or market value of a company's securities and such information has not yet been publicized in a widely used medium, then it is considered insider information.

The Firm’s employees are prohibited from acting upon material non-public information. The 1988 Act authorizes civil penalties of up to three times the profit gained or lost for trades which were based on inside information. Criminal liability may result in a fine of up to $100,000 and / or imprisonment.

POLICIES

In working with clients, Access Persons may receive insider information. For instance, a client may be an officer or director of a firm that is undergoing material structural changes, or perhaps clients may be “temporary insiders” due to contact with corporate officers or directors. Access Persons are prohibited from using inside information when placing any trades of securities for clients. Furthermore, Access Persons may not transact any trades for their own accounts or for the benefit of any third-party clients based upon such information.

If an Access Person is unsure or suspects that he / she may have obtained or may be perceived to have obtained insider information, they must notify the CCO immediately.

PROCEDURES

Any Access Person who becomes aware of information, which could be classified as material, non-public information, should immediately notify the CCO. The CCO will then promptly determine whether such information is material, non-public information and if they make such a determination the CCO will place that security on PIA’s restricted list and notify all Access Persons.

All Access Persons must ensure that insider information is not communicated (or tipped) to any persons (including other Access Persons) other than the CCO in any way. They should therefore communicate or deliver such information to the CCO personally (and never via email) and following delivery to the CCO destroy all electronic and physical copies of documents containing such information.
