CODE OF ETHICS

This Code of Ethics (“Code”) is an integral part of the efforts of the Managing Partners of SkyView Investment Advisors LLC (“SkyView”) also (the “Adviser”) to prevent fraud resulting from personal trading in securities by their affiliated persons.

Rule 17j-1 (“Rule”) adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act”) prohibits fraudulent, deceptive or manipulative practices by affiliated persons of SkyView in connection with their personal transactions in securities held or to be acquired by any SkyView portfolio (“Portfolio”).  The Rule requires SkyView to adopt a written code of ethics containing provisions reasonably necessary to prevent its “Access Persons” (defined below) from engaging in any act, practice or course of business prohibited by Section 17(j) of the 1940 Act and the Rule.  The Rule further requires that SkyView use reasonable diligence and institute procedures reasonably necessary to prevent violations of such code.

Similarly, Rule 204A-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”) requires SkyView to adopt and enforce a written code of ethics that meets the substantive requirements of that rule.

The following general fiduciary principles shall govern personal investment activities and the interpretation and administration of the Code:

 
·
The interests of shareholders must be placed first at all times;
 
 
·
All personal securities transactions must be conducted consistent with the Code and in such a manner as to avoid any actual or potential conflict of interest or any abuse of an individual’s position of trust and responsibility;
 
 
·
Persons covered by the Code should not take inappropriate advantage of their positions; and
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
·
Persons covered by the Code, including Supervised Persons, must comply with applicable federal securities laws.1
 
The Code does not attempt to identify all possible conflicts of interest, and literal compliance with each of its specific provisions will not shield persons covered by the Code from liability for personal trading or other conduct that violates a fiduciary duty to its Clients.

If you have any questions concerning a proposed course of action that may present a conflict of interest, you should contact SkyView’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”).  If you are aware of any violation or suspected violation of the Code, you must promptly report it to the CCO.

C.    GENERAL PROHIBITIONS AND REMINDERS

 
1)
All Access Persons of SkyView shall keep all information pertaining to Clients’ portfolio transactions and holdings confidential.  No person with access to Covered Securities holdings, recommendations or pending securities transactions and holdings should disclose this information to any person, unless such disclosure is made in connection with his or her regular functions or duties.  Special care should be taken to avoid discussing confidential information in circumstances, which would disclose this information to anyone who would not have access to such information in the normal course of events.

(a)         employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud such Client;

D.    PERSONAL TRADING RESTRICTIONS

1)     Initial Public Offerings (“IPOs”)
 
 Access Persons are generally prohibited from acquiring any Covered Securities in an IPO.  Access Persons may, however, request and receive approval to participate in an IPO in certain limited circumstances by completing and submitting the Pre-Clearance Form For Transactions In Personal Accounts (see Exhibit E).  In approving any such request, the onus for substantiating and documenting compliance with the Code rests on the individual seeking approval.  Notwithstanding submission of substantiating documentation, approval may be withheld if the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) believes that an actual or potential conflict of interest exists with respect to any Client. Approval of a request from the CCO to participate in an IPO must be granted by a member of the firm’s Investment Management Committee (“IMC”). Approval to invest in an IPO shall be valid for a period of time stated in the approval, but may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Access Person’s purchase in an IPO.

2)     Private Placements

 Access Persons investing in private placements of any kind must obtain written prior approval from the Chief Compliance Officer and a member of the firm’s Investment Management Committee.  Approval of a request from the CCO to invest in private placement must be granted by two members of the firm’s IMC. In determining whether to grant such prior approval, both the CCO and IMC shall determine (among other factors) whether the investment opportunity should be reserved for a Client(s), and whether the opportunity is being offered to the individual by virtue of his or her position with an Adviser.  Access Persons, who have been authorized to acquire Covered Securities in a private placement must disclose such investment when they are involved in, or whether they have knowledge of, any subsequent consideration of an investment by an Advisory Client in that issuer.   In such circumstances, the CCO or the IMC, with no personal interest in the particular issuer shall independently review the Advisory Client’s decision to purchase that issuer’s Covered Securities.

All Access  Persons requesting private placement approval must complete a Private Placement Approval Request Form (see Exhibit D of this the Code) and submit the form with supporting documentation to the Chief Compliance Officer or his designee. Approval to invest in a private placement shall be valid for the period of time stated in the approval, but may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Access Person’s purchase in the private placement.

New SkyView employees must disclose pre-existing private placement securities on their Initial Holdings Report, and must complete and return to the Chief Compliance Officer, the Private Placement Approval Request Form (Exhibit D of the Code) for review by the CCO.  Employees may be required to liquidate/terminate their investment in a private placement if deemed by the CCO and/or a member of the IMC to be a conflict of interest.

3)     Covered Securities Subject to an Embargo

    Access Persons are not permitted to deal in any Covered Security upon which SkyView has placed, for any reason, an embargo.

4)     The Restricted List

The Restricted List is composed of companies whose securities are subject to sales or trading activity prohibitions.  A company may be placed on the Restricted List for a number of reasons.  Reasons may include, but are not limited to:  (i) such company’s security is the subject of a buy or sell program at the Firm or (ii) trading or sales activities in the securities of a company may be restricted at the discretion of the CCO to meet compliance or regulatory objectives.

(i)           Placing Securities on the Restricted List

The CCO, in dialogue with the Managing Partners and Portfolio Managers, will determine what companies should be placed on or removed from the Restricted List and will determine what restrictions are appropriate.  Any employee who has information suggesting that any company should be placed on or taken off the Restricted List should notify the CCO.

For purposes of placing a company on the Restricted List, supervisory personnel within the Firm are responsible for keeping the CCO informed on a timely basis about the receipt of inside information by their group and the circumstances under which the information was received.

(ii)           Effect of Inclusion of the Restricted List

Prior to soliciting a purchase or sale or placing an order for the purchase or sale of a security, Access Persons should check the Restricted List to determine whether the securities of the issuing company have been restricted.  If a company is listed on the Restricted List, the following activities, transactions for any Access Persons in the securities of the company generally are prohibited.  Exceptions may be granted to this restriction for expiring options positions, which may be exercised or closed out with the approval of the CCO.  This prohibition extends to trades for (a) the employee’s own individual or joint account; (b) the account of anyone living in the same household as the employee such as a spouse, parent or child; and (c) accounts in which the employee is a beneficiary (such as a trust) or the trading of which the employee controls.

Access Persons shall complete the Pre-Clearance Form For Transactions In Personal Accounts (see Exhibit E) and obtain written clearance from the CCO before making a purchase or sale in any Covered Security (i) totaling more than a $50,000 investment and (ii) with a market capitalization of less than $1,000,000,000.  Approval of a request from the CCO must be granted by a member of the firm’s IMC. Trade approvals are only valid through the end of the business day upon which approval is granted.

6)     Gifts

No Access Persons shall seek or accept anything of more than de minimis value, either directly or indirectly, from broker-dealers or other persons, which to the actual knowledge of the Access Persons, do business or might do business with a Client or SkyView.  For purposes of this provision, the following gifts will not be considered to be in violation of this section: (a) an occasional meal; (b) an occasional ticket to a sporting event, the theater or comparable entertainment; and (c) other gifts of nominal cost.
 
E.     POLITICAL DONATIONS

Rule 206(4)-5 under the Advisers Act (the “Pay to Play Rule”) places certain restrictions on charitable donations and political contributions made by an investment adviser or its Covered Associates.  Any person with whom an investment adviser pays or agrees to pay to solicit business from a government entity on the investment advisers behalf must be an SEC- regulated person or is an executive officer (or a person with a similar status or function) or employee of the adviser.

The rule prohibits the receipt of compensation by an investment adviser for providing investment advisory services to a government entity for two years following a contribution to any official of that government entity by either the investment adviser or one of its employees. Contributions from natural persons of $150 per election, or $350 per election if the contributor is eligible to vote in the election are not subject to this prohibition. An investment adviser and its Covered Associates are also prohibited from soliciting or coordinating contributions from others to a political official, candidate or political party in a state or locality where the adviser provides or is seeking to provide advisory services.

SkyView Covered Associates will abide by the following requirements:

 
1)  
Political contributions to politically connected individuals or entities with the intention of influencing such individuals or entities for business purposes should be prohibited.

 
2)  
Covered Associates required to seek pre-clearance from the CCO prior to making any political contributions to any state or local government entity, official, candidate, political party, or political action committee above $150 per election or $350 per election if the contributor is eligible to vote for the official.
 
 
   
Code of Ethics
Page 9
 
 
 

 
 
 
3)
Individuals who are expected to become Covered Associated must meet with the CCO to discuss their past political contributions.

 
4)
Employees are required to obtain written pre-approval from the CCO prior to running for any public office.

 
5)
Employees may be prohibited from holding a public office if it presents any actual or apparent conflict of interest with the investment adviser's business activities.

The CCO will also maintain a list of all government entities to which SkyView has provided advisory services and all government entities that have invested in an investment pool advised by SkyView over the last five years. The CCO will maintain a list of all direct and indirect contributions by SkyView or a Covered Associate to any state or local government entity, official, candidate, political party, or political action committee. The CCO’s record of political contributions must:

1)  Be listed in chronological order;

2)  Identify each contributor and recipient;
 
3)  Note the amounts and dates;

4)  Note whether a contribution subjects SkyView to the Pay to Play Rule’s restrictions

F.    OUTSIDE BUSINESS INTERESTS

An Access Personwho seeks or is offered a position as an officer, trustee, director, or is contemplating employment in any other capacity in an outside enterprise is expected to submit an Outside Business Activities Form (Exhibit H) to the CCO prior to accepting such a position. Information submitted to the CCO will be considered as confidential and will notbe discussed with the supervised person's prospective employer without the supervised person’s permission.
 
The Adviser does not wish to limit any Access Person’s professional or financial opportunities, but needs to be aware of such outside interests so as to avoid potential conflicts of interest and ensure that there is no interruption in services to our clients.  Understandably, the Adviser must also be concerned as to whether there may be any potential financial liability or adverse publicity that may arise from an undisclosed business interest by a supervised person.
Investment Personnel are prohibited from serving on the boards of directors of publicly traded companies, absent receiving prior authorization from the Chief Compliance Officer. Such authorization should be based upon a determination that the board service would be consistent with the interests of Clients advised by the employee.  Where service on a board of directors is authorized, Investment Personnel serving as directors should be isolated from those making investment decisions regarding the company through “Chinese Wall” procedures.
 
 
   
Code of Ethics
Page 10
 
 
 

 
 
Investment Personnel are also prohibited from serving as a director or member of an advisory board of a company that is held as an investment by the Adviser.  Further, the Adviser shall not invest the assets of such series in a company where Investment Personnel currently serve as directors or members of an advisory board of such company.

G.    MARKET TIMING

While there is no apparent risk of market timing activity in a fund of hedge funds firm such as SkyView, all Access Persons are expected to read and understand the definition of “Market Timing” (Section A(10)) and adhere to the Code’s specific requirements in this regard.  Market Timing is prohibited in any Fund; if it is determined that personal trading activities violate these restrictions, SkyView reserves the right to impose such sanctions as deemed appropriate.

To ensure that the Code’s requirements are met and to comply with the SEC’s objective for enhanced disclosure, all employees must report on a quarterly basis to the Chief Compliance Officer certain transactions in Reportable Funds (excluding money market funds) in all accounts for which you have Beneficial Ownership.  On-going purchases made through an  automatic  contribution  or  reinvestment  program  (such  as  a  401k  program)  are  not required to be reported provided that the initial position has been disclosed or reported on the Initial Holdings Report, Quarterly Transaction Report and / or the Annual Holdings Report.

All sales, all exchanges and all new purchases in Reportable Funds must be disclosed on a quarterly basis.

All Access Persons must read, complete and return the Benefit Savings Plan Disclosure form (see Exhibit F) which acknowledges and permits the Chief Compliance Officer or his designee to monitor activity in any benefit plan, including 401(k) activities and other non- qualified deferred compensation benefit plans.

All Access Persons shall provide the Chief Compliance Officer with a listing of all brokerage accounts in which the Access Person has a direct or indirect interest upon commencing employment and on a quarterly basis thereafter.  These reports may be made using Exhibits A or C, as applicable.

No Access Persons shall request or receive financial benefit or special dealing benefits for any personal brokerage account, which are not made available to the general public on the same terms and conditions.
 
6)     Review of Reports and Notification
 
The CCO or his designee will review all brokerage account statements and, Initial, Quarterly and Annual Reports to detect conflicts of interest and abusive practices.  All Reports shall be compared with contemplated and completed portfolio transactions of the Adviser to determine whether a possible violation of this Code of Ethics and/or other trading procedures has occurred. The brokerage account statements and, Initial, Quarterly and Annual Reports of the CCO shall be reviewed by an alternate appointed by the CCO if the CCO is also an Access Person. In addition, the Chief Compliance Officer or his designee shall notify each Access Person that he or she is subject to the reporting requirements provided under this Code of Ethics and shall deliver a copy of this Code of Ethics to each person upon request.

7)      Responsibility to Report
 
The responsibility for reporting is imposed on each Access Person required to make a report to ensure that Compliance is in receipt of timely and complete reports.  Efforts on behalf of the Access Person by other services (e.g., brokerage firms) do not change or alter the Access Person’s responsibility.  Late reporting is regarded as a direct violation of this Code and will be treated accordingly. Individuals who neglect their responsibility for appropriate reporting as defined in Sections H(1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) of this Code will be subject to sanctions including, but not limited to fines, and, in appropriate cases, termination.
 
I.         REPORTING OF VIOLATIONS

All Access Persons shall promptly report any possible violations of this Code to the Chief Compliance Officer.  The Chief Compliance Officer shall timely report all material violations of this Code of Ethics to SkyView’s Senior Executives, Committees, Board and the Boards of Fund Clients of the Adviser, or its affiliates (“Boards”) as appropriate.

J.        ANNUAL REPORTING OF SKYVIEW

The Adviser will review and test the adequacy of its compliance policies and procedures on at least an annual basis.  In general, such annual report shall:

 
1)
summarize existing procedures concerning personal investing and any material changes in the procedures made during the past year;

 
2) 
identify any material violations requiring significant remedial action during the past year;
 

 
3)
identify any recommended changes in the existing restrictions or procedures based upon experience under its Code of Ethics, evolving industry practices or developments in applicable laws or regulations; and

 
4) 
certify that the Adviser has adopted procedures reasonably necessary to prevent Access Persons from violating its Code of Ethics.

Further, pursuant to Rule 17j-1(c)(2)(ii), SkyView’s CCO shall prepare a written report, on an  annual  basis,  describing  any  issues  arising  under  the  Code  of  Ethics,  including information about any material violations of the Code of Ethics or its underlying procedures and any sanctions imposed due to such violations and submit the information to each Registered Fund Client’s Chief Compliance Officer for review by the Registered Fund Client’s Board of Trustees.

SkyView’s Chief Compliance Officer shall also certify, on an annual basis, to the Board of Trustees of each Registered Fund Client that SkyView has adopted procedures reasonably necessary to prevent its employees from violating the Code of Ethics.
 
 
   
Code of Ethics

K.       SANCTIONS
 
Access Persons are expected to observe the highest standards of professional conduct when conducting their business and may be held personally liable for any improper or illegal acts committed during their employment.  Upon discovering a violation of the Code, the Chief Compliance Officer in conjunction with SkyView’s Senior Executives, Committees or Board, may impose such sanctions, as they deem appropriate, including, among other things, issuing a letter of censure, suspending or terminating the employment of the violator, or referring the matter to the appropriate regulatory or governmental authority.
 
SkyView in its sole and absolute discretion, reserves the right to direct you to cancel or unwind any trade at your expense.  From time to time, you may also have your positions frozen due to potential conflicts of interest or the appearance of impropriety. SkyView may, in its sole and absolute discretion, suspend or revoke your trading privileges at any time.
 
As a firm, our commitment to integrity and ethical behavior remains constant.  Every one of us, every day, must reflect the highest standards of professional conduct and personal integrity.  Good judgment and the desire to do what is right are the foundation of our reputation.

Any situation that may create, or even appear to create, a conflict between personal interests and the interest of SkyView or its Clients must be avoided.  It is essential to disclose any questionable situations to the CCO as soon as such situation arises.
 
L.       GROUNDS FOR DISQUALIFICATION FROM EMPLOYMENT

In addition to actions that may result in termination of employment as described above in Section K, pursuant to the terms of Section 9 of the Advisers Act, no person may become or continue to be an officer, director, Advisory Person or employee of SkyView without an exemptive order issued by the Commission, if such person:
