All Disinterested Directors shall report to the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer, no later than 10 days after the end of the calendar. quarter in which the transaction to which the report relates was effected, the information required in Sections 6A and 6B hereof with respect to any transaction involving a Covered Security in which such Disinterested Director has, or by reason of such transaction acquires, any direct or indirect beneficial ownership in such Covered Security and that such Disinterested Director knew, or in the course of fulfilling his or her official duties as a Director should have known, during the 15-day period immediately preceding or after the date of the transaction by the Disinterested Director, to have been purchased or sold by the Fund or considered for purchase or sale by the Fund. With respect to those transactions executed through a broker, a Disinterested Director of the Fund may fulfill this requirement by directing the broker(s) to transmit to the Chief Compliance Officer a duplicate of broker trade confirmations of such transactions, and copies of the statements of such brokerage accounts, whether existing currently or to be established in the future if all the information required under Sections 6A and 6B is contained within such broker trade confirmations and statements of accounts.

8. Confidential Status of the Fund's Portfolio


The current portfolio positions of the Fund managed, advised and/or administered by the Advisor and current portfolio transactions, programs and analyses must be kept confidential.


If nonpublic information regarding the Fund's portfolio should become known to any Access Person, whether in the line of duty or otherwise, he or she should not reveal it to anyone unless it is properly part of his or her work to do so.

If anyone is asked about the Fund’s portfolio or whether a security has been sold or bought, his or her reply should be that this is an improper question and that this answer does not mean that the Fund has bought, sold or retained the particular security. Reference, however, may, of course, be made to the latest published report on the Fund's portfolio.


9. Nonpublic Material Information


From time to time the Advisor has circulated and discussed with Access Persons the latest administrative and judicial decisions regarding the absolute prohibition against the use of nonpublic material information, also known as "inside information." In view of the many forms in which the subject can arise, the Advisor must reiterate that a careful and conservative approach must prevail and no action should be taken where "inside information" may be involved without a thorough review by the Chief Compliance Officer.


Material inside information is any information about a company or the market for the company's securities which has come directly or indirectly from the company and which has not been disclosed generally to the marketplace, the dissemination of which is likely to affect the market price of any of the company's securities or is likely to be considered important by reasonable investors, including reasonable speculative investors, in determining whether to trade in such securities.


Information should be· presumed "material" if it relates to such matters as dividend increases or decreases, earnings estimates, changes in previously released earnings estimates, significant expansion or curtailment of operations, a significant increase or decline of orders, significant merger or acquisition proposals or agreements, significant new products or discoveries, extraordinary borrowing, major litigation, liquidity problems, extraordinary management developments, purchase or sale or substantial assets, etc.


"Inside information" is information that has not been publicly disclosed. Information received about a company under circumstances which indicate that it is not yet in general circulation and that such information may be attributable, directly or indirectly, to the company (or its insiders) should be deemed to be inside information.





Whenever an Access Person receives material information about a company which he or she knows or has reason to believe is directly or indirectly attributable to such company (or its insiders), the Access Person must determine that the: information is public before trading or recommending trading on the basis of such information or before divulging such information to any person who is not an employee of the Advisor or a party to the transaction. As a rule, one should be able to point to some fact to show that the information is generally available; for example, its announcement on the broad tape or by Reuters, The Wall Street Journal or trade publications. If the Access Person has any question at all as to whether the information is material or whether it is inside and not public, he or she must resolve the question or questions before trading, recommending trading or divulging the information. If any doubt at all remains, the Access Person must consult with the Chief Compliance Officer.





10. Gifts - Investment Personnel


Investment Personnel shall not receive any gift or other thing or more than de minimis value from any person or entity that does business with or on behalf of the Fund. For purposes of this Code, "more than de minimis value" shall mean any gift in excess of a value of $100 per year.


11. Services as a Director in a Publicly Traded Company


Access Persons shall not serve on the boards of directors of publicly traded companies, absent prior authorization by the Fund's Board of Directors, based upon a determination that the board service would be consistent with the interests of the Fund and its shareholders. When such authorization is provided, the Investment Personnel serving as a director will be isolated from making investment decisions with respect to the pertinent company through "Chinese Wall" or other procedures.


12. Compliance Review


A.

The Chief Compliance Officer will maintain a list of all Access Persons, will provide each Access Person with a copy of this Code upon request, and will notify each Access Person in writing that such person is an Access Person. Once a person has been so identified, he or she shall continue to be an Access Person until otherwise notified in writing by the Chief Compliance Officer, provided however, if such person IS an Access Person solely because he or she is a Director, such person shall cease to be an Access Person at the time such person ceases to be a Director.


B.

The Chief Compliance Officer or his designate shall review all personal holdings reports submitted by each Access Person, including confirmations of personal securities transactions, to ensure that no trading has taken place in violation of Rule 17j-l or the Code. ln addition, the Chief Compliance Officer shall compare the reported personal securities transactions with completed and contemplated portfolio transactions of the Fund to determine whether a violation of this Code may have occurred. Before making any determination that a violation has been committed by any person, the Chief Compliance Officer shall give such person an opportunity to supply additional information regarding the transaction in question. The Chief Compliance Officer shall maintain a list of personnel responsible for reviewing transaction and personal holdings reports.


13. Sanctions


Any violation of this Code shall be reported on a quarterly basis to the Board of Directors of the Fund or the Advisor, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 14 of the Code. The Board of Directors of the Fund or the Advisor, as the case may be, may impose such sanctions as it deems appropriate, including inter alia, a letter of censure or suspension or termination of employment of the Access Person or a request for disgorgement of any profits received from a securities transaction done in violation of this Code.
