CODE OF ETHICS

OF

COOKE & BIELER, L.P.

PREAMBLE

This Code of Ethics is being adopted in compliance with the requirements under the Investment Advisers Act Rule 204A-1, the Investment Company Act Rule 17j-1 (the “Rule”) and Sections 204A and 206 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”), specifically Rule 204-2 thereunder, to effectuate the purposes and objectives of those provisions. Section 204A of the Advisers Act requires the establishment and enforcement of policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent the misuse of material, nonpublic information by investment advisers. Rule 204-2 imposes recordkeeping requirements with respect to personal securities transactions of advisory representatives. Rule 17j-1 of the Investment Company Act, Rule 204A-1 and Section 206 of the Advisers Act make the following activities unlawful for certain persons, including any employee of Cooke & Bieler, L.P. (the “Firm”) in connection with the purchase or sale by such person of a security held or to be acquired by any Portfolio or any Fund managed by the Firm:

1. To employ a device, scheme or artifice to defraud a Portfolio, a Fund, any client or prospective client;

2. To make to a Portfolio, a Fund, any client or prospective client, any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading;

3. To engage in any act, practice or course of business which operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon a Portfolio, a Fund, any client or prospective client; or

4. Acting as principal for his/her own account, knowingly to sell any security to or purchase any security from a client, or acting as a broker for a person other than such client, knowingly to effect any sale or purchase of any security for the account of such client, without disclosing to such client in writing before the completion of such transaction the capacity in which he/she is acting and obtaining the consent of the client to such transaction. The prohibitions of this paragraph (4) shall not apply to any transaction with a customer of a bank broker or dealer if such broker or dealer is not acting as an investment adviser in relation to such transaction; or

5. To engage in any act, practice, or course of business which is fraudulent, deceptive or manipulative.

This Code contains provisions reasonably necessary to prevent persons from engaging in acts in violation of the above standard and procedures reasonably necessary to prevent violations of the Code.

The Management Committee of the Firm adopts this Code of Ethics. This Code is based upon the principle that the partners, directors and officers of the Firm, and certain affiliated persons of the Firm, owe a fiduciary duty to, among others, the clients of the Firm to conduct their affairs, including their personal securities transactions, in such a manner as to avoid (i) serving their own personal interests ahead of clients; (ii) taking inappropriate advantage of their position with the Firm; and (iii) any actual or

potential conflicts of interest or any abuse of their position of trust and responsibility. This fiduciary duty includes the duty of the Compliance Officer of the Firm to report material violations of this Code of Ethics to the Management Committee and to the Board of Directors of any Fund advised or sub-advised by the Firm.

POLICY STATEMENT ON INSIDER TRADING

The Firm forbids any partner, officer, director or employee from trading, either personally or on behalf of others, including accounts managed by the Firm, on material nonpublic information or communicating material nonpublic information to others in violation of the law. This conduct is frequently referred to as “insider trading.” The Firm’s policy applies to every partner, officer, director and employee and extends to activities within and outside their duties at the Firm. Any questions regarding the Firm’s policy and procedures should be referred to the Compliance Officer.

The term “insider trading” is not defined in the federal securities laws, but generally is used to refer to the use of material nonpublic information to trade in securities (whether or not one is an “insider”) or to communications of material nonpublic information to others.

While the law concerning insider trading is not static, it is generally understood that the law prohibits:

1) trading by an insider, while in possession of material nonpublic information, or

2) trading by a non-insider, while in possession of material nonpublic information, where the information either was disclosed to the non-insider in violation of an insider’s duty to keep it confidential or was misappropriated, or

3) communicating material nonpublic information to others.

The concept of “insider” is broad. It includes officers, directors and employees of a company. In addition, a person can be a “temporary insider” if he or she enters into a special confidential relationship in the conduct of a company’s affairs and as a result is given access to information solely for the company’s purposes. A temporary insider can include, among others, a company’s attorneys, accountants, consultants, bank lending officers, and the employees of such organizations. In addition, the Firm may become a temporary insider of a company it advises or for which it performs other services. For that to occur the company must expect the Firm to keep the disclosed nonpublic information confidential and the relationship must at least imply such a duty before the Firm will be considered an insider.

Trading on inside information is not a basis for liability unless the information is material. “Material information” generally is defined as information for which there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would consider it important in making his or her investment decisions, or information that is reasonably certain to have a substantial effect on the price of a company’s securities. Information that partners, officers, directors and employees should consider material includes, but is not limited to: dividend changes, earnings estimates, changes in previously released earnings estimates, significant merger or acquisition proposals or agreements, major litigation, liquidation problems, and extraordinary management developments.

Information is nonpublic until it has been effectively communicated to the market place. One must be able to point to some fact to show that the information is generally public. For example, information found in a report filed with the SEC, or appearing in Dow Jones, Reuters Economic Services, The Wall Street Journal or other publications of general circulation would be considered public.

May 2005 2

Before trading for yourself or others in the securities of a company about which you may have potential inside information, ask yourself the following questions:

i. Is the information material? Is this information that an investor would consider important in making his or her investment decisions? Is this information that would substantially effect the market price of the securities if generally disclosed?

ii. Is the information nonpublic? To whom has this information been provided? Has the information been effectively communicated to the marketplace?

If, after consideration of the above, you believe that the information is material and nonpublic, or if you have questions as to whether the information is material and nonpublic, you should take the following steps.

i. Report the matter immediately to the Firm’s Compliance Officer.

ii. Do not purchase or sell the securities on behalf of yourself or others.

iii. Do not communicate the information inside or outside the Firm, other than to the Firm’s Compliance Officer.

iv. After the Firm’s Compliance Officer has reviewed the issue, you will be instructed to continue the prohibitions against trading and communication, or you will be allowed to trade and communicate the information.

Information in your possession that you identify as material and nonpublic may not be communicated to anyone, including persons within the Firm, except as provided above. In addition, care should be taken so that such information is secure. For example, files containing material nonpublic information should be sealed; access to computer files containing material nonpublic information should be restricted.

The role of the Firm’s Compliance Officer is critical to the implementation and maintenance of the Firm’s policy and procedures against insider trading. The Firm’s Supervisory Procedures can be divided into two classifications - prevention of insider trading and detection of insider trading.

To prevent insider trading, the Firm will:

i. provide, on a regular basis, an educational program to familiarize partners, officers, directors and employees with the Firm’s policy and procedures, and

ii. when it has been determined that a partner, officer, director or employee of the Firm has material nonpublic information,

1. implement measures to prevent dissemination of such information, and

2. if necessary, restrict partners, officers, directors and employees from trading the securities.

To detect insider trading, the Compliance Officer will:

i. review the trading activity reports filed by each officer, director and employee, and

May 2005 3

ii. review the trading activity of accounts managed by the Firm.

B. PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS

A conflict of interest occurs when the personal interests of employees interfere or could potentially interfere with their responsibilities to the Firm and its clients. The overriding principle is that investment personnel should not accept inappropriate gifts, favors, entertainment, special accommodations, or other things of material value that could influence their decision-making or make them feel beholden to a person or firm. Similarly, investment personnel should not offer gifts, favors, entertainment or other things of value that could be viewed as overly generous or aimed at influencing decision-making or making a client feel beholden to the Firm or the investment personnel. Further, no access person or advisory representative shall engage in any act, practice or course of conduct, which would violate the provisions of Rule 204A-1 of the Investment Advisers Act, Rule 17j-1 of the Investment Company Act or Section 206 of the Investment Advisers Act as set forth above.

1. Access Persons

Except as provided in Section C below, no access person shall:

(a) purchase or sell, directly or indirectly, any security in which he/she has or by reason of such transaction acquires, any direct or indirect beneficial ownership and which to his/her actual knowledge at the time of such purchase or sale:

(1) is being considered for purchase or sale by any Portfolio or Fund managed by the Firm, or

May 2005 6

(2) is being purchased or sold by any Portfolio or Fund managed by the Firm; or

(b) disclose to other persons the securities activities engaged in or contemplated for the various Portfolios or Funds managed by the Firm.

2. Investment Personnel

In addition to the prohibitions listed in Section B(1) above, no investment personnel shall engage in any of the following:

(a) Gifts — accept any gift or other thing of more than de minimis value from any person or entity that does or seeks to do business with or on behalf of the Firm. Nor shall any investment personnel give or offer any gift of more than de minimis value to existing clients, prospective clients, or any entity that does business with the Firm without pre-approval by the Chief Compliance Officer. Investment personnel may not give or accept any gifts (regardless of value) in the form of cash or cash equivalents to or from a client, prospective client, or any entity that does business with the Firm. For purposes of this Code, “de minimis” shall be considered to be the annual receipt of gifts from the same source valued at $500 or less per individual recipient, when the gifts are in relation to the Firm’s business.

(b) Entertainment — provide or accept extravagant or excessive entertainment to or from a client, prospective client, or any person on entity that does or seeks to do business with the Firm. Investment personnel may provide or accept a business entertainment event, such as dinner, golf outing or a sporting event, of reasonable value, if the person or entity providing the entertainment is present. All entertainment that exceeds the de minimis value will need to be pre-approved by the Management Committee or the Chief Compliance Officer.

(c) Bribes – The payment or arrangement of, or any involvement in, bribes, kickbacks or other illegal gratuities.

(d) Political Activities –

1. Firm Political Activities. No investment personnel may make political contributions of Firm assets, directly or indirectly, to any public official, political candidate or political party, or to any other organization that might use the contribution to support or influence a public official or a political candidate or party.

2. Personal Political Activities. Investment personnel may not make personal political contributions for the purpose of obtaining or retaining advisory contracts with government entities. Personal political contributions, other than national contributions, of more than de minimis value will need to be pre-approved by the Chief Compliance Officer. Those seeking pre-approval will certify that the contribution is not made for the purpose of obtaining or retaining the Firm’s engagement as an investment adviser by the government entity. Annual reporting is required for de minimis contributions. Current laws and rules in various jurisdictions may also prohibit or limit gifts or entertainment extended to public officials. These laws and rules must be followed.

(e) acquire a beneficial interest in any securities in an initial public offering (“IPO”) or other limited offerings commonly referred to as private placements, without prior written approval of the Compliance Officer of the Firm and the Management Committee of Cooke & Bieler, L.P. The Compliance Officer must maintain a record of any decision, and the reasons supporting the

May 2005 7

decision, to approve the investment personnel’s acquisition of an IPO or private placement for at least five years after the end of the fiscal year in which the approval was granted.

Before granting such approval the Compliance Officer (or other designee) should carefully evaluate such investment to determine that the investment could create no material conflict between the investment personnel and a Fund or Portfolio. The Compliance Officer may make such determination by looking at, among other things, the nature of the offering and the particular facts surrounding the purchase. For example, the Compliance Officer may consider approving the transaction if the Compliance Officer (or designee) can determine that: (i) the investment did not result from directing Fund, Portfolio or Firm business to the underwriter or issuer of the security; (ii) the Investment Personnel is not misappropriating an opportunity that should have been offered to the Fund or Portfolio; and (iii) an Investment Person’s investment decisions for the Fund or Portfolio will not be unduly influenced by his or her personal holdings and investment decisions are based solely on the best interests of the Fund or Portfolio. Any person authorized to purchase securities in an IPO or private placement shall disclose that investment when they play a part in a Fund’s or Portfolio’s subsequent consideration of an investment in that issuer. In such circumstances, a Fund’s or Portfolio’s decision to purchase securities of the issuer shall be subject to independent review by investment personnel with no personal interest in the issuer.

(f) profit in the purchase and sale, or sale and purchase, of the same (or equivalent) securities within sixty (60) calendar days. Trades made in violation of this prohibition should be unwound, if possible. Otherwise, any profits realized on such short-term trades shall be subject to disgorgement to the appropriate Portfolio(s) or Fund(s) of the Firm.

Exception: The Compliance Officer of the Firm may allow exceptions to this policy on a case-by-case basis when the abusive practices that the policy is designed to prevent, such as front running or conflicts of interest, are not present and the equity of the situation strongly supports an exemption. An example is the involuntary sale of securities due to unforeseen corporate activity such as a merger. [See Pre-Clearance Procedures below]. The ban on short-term trading profits is specifically designed to deter potential conflicts of interest and front running transactions, which typically involve a quick trading pattern to capitalize on a short-lived market impact of a trade by one of the Fund’s Portfolios. The respective Compliance Officer shall consider the policy reasons for the ban on short-term trades, as stated herein, in determining when an exception to the prohibition is permissible. The Compliance Officer may consider granting an exception to this prohibition if the securities involved in the transaction are not (i) being considered for purchase or sale by a Fund or Portfolio that serves as the basis of the individual’s “investment personnel” status or (ii) being purchased or sold by a Fund or Portfolio that serves as the basis of the individual’s “investment personnel” status and, are not economically related to such securities. In order for a proposed transaction to be considered for exemption from the short-term trading prohibitions, the investment personnel must complete, sign and submit to the Compliance Officer a completed Securities Transactions Report Relating to Short-Term Trading (Exhibit D), certifying that the proposed transaction is in compliance with this Code of Ethics. The Compliance Officer shall retain a record of exceptions granted and the reasons supporting the decision.

(g) serve on the Board of Directors of any publicly traded company without prior authorization of the Management Committee of the Firm. Any such authorization shall be based upon a determination that the board service would be consistent with the interests of the Firm, any Portfolios or Funds. Authorization of board service shall be subject to the implementation by the Firm of “Chinese Wall” or other procedures to isolate such investment personnel from making decisions about trading in that company’s securities. Notification of such directorships shall be made to the Compliance Officer of the Funds.

3. Portfolio Managers

In addition to the prohibitions listed in Sections B(1) and (2) above, no portfolio manager shall:

(a) buy or sell a security within seven (7) calendar days before or two (2) calendar days after any portfolio of the Firm trades in that security. Any trades made within the proscribed period shall be unwound, if possible. Otherwise, any profits realized on trades within the proscribed period shall be disgorged to the appropriate client portfolio.

C. EXEMPTED TRANSACTIONS

Transactions described in Sections B(1), B(2)(c) and B(3) above, which appear upon reasonable inquiry and investigation to present no reasonable likelihood of harm to a Fund or Portfolio and which are otherwise transacted in accordance with Investment Company Act Rule 17j-1, the Investment Advisors Act Rule 204A-1 and Section 206 of the Investment Company Act may be permitted within the discretion of the Compliance Officer of the Firm on a case-by-case basis. Such exempted transactions may include:

1. purchases or sales of securities which are not eligible for purchase by a Fund or Portfolio and which are not related economically to securities purchased, sold or held by the Fund or a Portfolio.

2. securities of companies with a market capitalization in excess of $1 billion.

3. purchases or sales of a de minimus amount of securities. A de minimus amount of securities shall be defined in this section of the Code of Ethics as:

(a) up to an aggregate $25,000 principal amount of a fixed income security within any three-consecutive month period;

(b) up to an aggregate 100 shares of an equity security within any three-consecutive month period; or

(c) any amount of securities if the proposed acquisition or disposition by a Fund or Portfolio is in the amount of 1,000 shares or less and the security is listed on a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System.

4. Securities which the access person, Fund and/or Portfolio has no influence or control, including:

(a) purchases or sales effected in any account over which the access person has no direct or indirect influence or control;

(b) purchases or sales which are non-volitional on the part of either the access person or the Fund and/or Portfolio;

(c) purchases which are part of an automatic dividend reinvestment plan or direct stock plan (pending pre-clearance of the original purchase); and

(d) securities acquired by the exercise of rights issued pro rata by an issuer to all holders of a class of its securities (to the extent such rights were acquired from such issuer), and sales of such rights so acquired.

May 2005 9

5. Securities that appear to present little opportunity for the type of improper trading that the access person reports are designed to uncover, including:

(a) transactions and holdings in direct obligations of the U.S. government;

(b) money market instruments - bankers’ acceptances, bank certificates of deposit, commercial paper, repurchase agreements and other high quality short-term debt instruments;

(c) shares of money market funds;

(d) transactions and holdings in shares of other types of mutual funds, unless the adviser or a control affiliate acts as the investment adviser or sub-adviser or principal underwriter for the fund; and

(e) transactions in units of a unit investment trust if the unit investment trust is invested exclusively in unaffiliated mutual funds.

D. COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES

With respect to the pre-clearance and reporting requirements contained herein, access persons shall pre-clear through and report to the Compliance Officer of the Firm.

1. Pre-clearance Procedures

All access persons must receive prior written approval from the Firm’s Compliance Officer, or other officer designated by the Board of Directors, before purchasing or selling securities in an account that such access person has beneficial ownership. The access person should request pre-clearance by completing, signing and submitting Personal Securities Transactions Pre-Clearance Form (Exhibit E) to the Compliance Officer.

Pre-clearance approval will expire at the close of business on the trading date two (2) business days after the date on which authorization is received. For example, pre-clearance received Friday at 9:00 a.m. would expire as of the close of business Monday. If the trade is not completed before such pre-clearance expires, the access person is required to again obtain pre-clearance for the trade. In addition, if an access person becomes aware of any additional information with respect to a transaction that was pre-cleared, such person is obligated to disclose such information to the appropriate Compliance Officer prior to executing the pre-cleared transaction.

Access persons are excluded from pre-clearing securities purchased, sold or acquired in the following transactions:

(a) purchases or sales effected in any account over which the access person has no direct or indirect influence or control.

(b) purchases or sales which are non-volitional on the part of either the access person or a Fund or Portfolio.

(c) purchases which are part of an automatic dividend reinvestment plan or direct stock plan (pending pre-clearance of the original purchase).

May 2005 10

3. Quarterly Reporting Requirements

All access persons shall disclose to the Firm’s Compliance Officer all personal reportable securities transactions conducted during the period as of the calendar quarter ended within thirty (30) days after quarter end.

However, mutual fund shares advised or sub- advised

In addition to reporting securities holdings, every access person shall certify annually that:

This annual report shall be made on the form attached as Annual Report of Access Person (Exhibit B) and shall be delivered to the Compliance Officer of the Firm.

5. Reports to Compliance Officer

The Compliance Officer of the Firm shall provide, by the thirtieth (30) day after each quarter end, certification to the Compliance Officer of a Fund that, as of the prior quarter end:

(a) the Compliance Officer of the Firm has collected all documentation required by the Code of Ethics and Rule 17j-1 and is retaining such documentation on behalf of the Fund;

(b) there have been no violations to the Fund’s Code of Ethics and, if there have been violations to the Fund’s Code of Ethics, the violation has been documented and reported to the Fund’s Compliance Officer; and

(c) the Firm has appointed appropriate management or compliance personnel, such as the Compliance Officer to review transactions and reports filed by access persons under the Code of Ethics, and adopted procedures reasonably necessary to prevent Access Persons from violating the Firm’s Code of Ethics.

Each quarter the Compliance Officer of the Firm shall also provide to the Compliance Officer of each Fund a list of access persons who are subject to the Fund’s Code of Ethics and the name of the Compliance Officer of the Firm responsible for pre-clearing and reviewing personal securities transactions.

The Compliance Officer of the Firm shall provide such information, including, but not limited to, initial, quarterly and annual reports for all access persons, pre-clearance reports and approval for short term transactions, IPO and private placement securities, as is requested by the Fund’s Compliance Officer.

6. General Reporting Requirements

The Compliance Officer of the Firm shall notify each access person that he or she is subject to this Code of Ethics and the reporting requirements contained herein, and shall deliver a copy of this Code of Ethics to each such person when they become an access person, or upon request.

May 2005 13

Reports submitted pursuant to this Code of Ethics shall be confidential and shall be provided only to the officers and Directors of the Firm, and each Fund, counsel and/or regulatory authorities upon appropriate request.

7. Excessive Trading

The Firm understands that it is appropriate for access persons to participate in the public securities markets as part of their overall personal investment programs. As in other areas, however, this should be done in a way that creates no potential conflicts with the interests of any Fund or Portfolio. Further, it is important to recognize that otherwise appropriate trading, if excessive (measured in terms of frequency, complexity of trading programs, numbers of trades or other measure as deemed appropriate by the Fund’s Compliance Officer, Compliance Officer of the Firm, or senior management at the Firm), may compromise the best interests of any Funds or Portfolios if such excessive trading is conducted during work-time or using Fund/Portfolio resources. Accordingly, if personal trading rising to such dimension as to create an environment that is not consistent with the Code of Ethics, such personal transactions may not be approved or may be limited by the Compliance Officer of the Firm.

8. Conflict of Interest

Every access person shall notify the Compliance Officer of the Firm of any personal conflict of interest relationship which may involve a Fund or Portfolio, such as the existence of any economic relationship between their transactions and securities held or to be acquired by any Portfolio or Fund. The Firm’s Compliance Officer shall notify the Compliance Officer of a Fund of any personal conflict of interest relationship which may involve the Fund. Such notification shall occur in the pre-clearance process.

E. REPORTING OF VIOLATIONS TO THE COMPLIANCE OFFICER

All supervised persons must report violations of the firm’s Code of Ethics promptly to the Chief Compliance Officer or other designated individual provided the Chief Compliance Officer also receives reports of all violations.

F. REPORTING OF VIOLATIONS TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Compliance Officer of the Firm shall promptly report to the Compliance Officer of the Fund and the Board of Directors of the Firm all apparent violations of this Code of Ethics and the reporting requirements thereunder.

When the Compliance Officer of the Firm finds that a transaction otherwise reportable to the Board of Directors pursuant to the Code could not reasonably be found to have resulted in a fraud, deceit or manipulative practice in violation of Rule 17j-1(a), he/she may, in his/her discretion, lodge a written memorandum of such finding and the reasons therefore with the reports made pursuant to this Code of Ethics, in lieu of reporting the transaction to the Board of Directors. Such findings shall, however, be reported to the Compliance Officer of any respective Funds.

The Board of Directors of the Firm or any Fund, or a Committee of Directors created by such Board of Directors, for that purpose, shall consider reports made to the Board of Directors hereunder and shall determine whether or not this Code of Ethics has been violated and what sanctions, if any, should be imposed.

May 2005 14

G. ANNUAL REPORTING TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Compliance Officer of the Firm shall prepare an annual report relating to this Code of Ethics to the Board of Directors of the Firm and the Funds. Such annual report shall:

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

(b) identify any violations requiring significant remedial action during the past year; and

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

(d) state that the Firm had adopted procedures reasonably necessary to prevent access persons from violating the Code.

H. SANCTIONS

Upon discovering a violation of this Code, the Management Committee of Cooke & Bieler may impose such sanctions as they deem appropriate, including but not limited to a warning, fines, disgorgement, suspension, demotion, or termination of employment.

I. RETENTION OF RECORDS

The Firm shall maintain the following records as required under Rule 17j-1 and Rule 206A-1:

(a) a copy of any Code of Ethics in effect within the most recent five years;

(b) a list of all persons required to make reports hereunder within the most recent five years and a list of all persons who were responsible for reviewing the reports, as shall be updated by the Compliance Officer of the Firm;

(c) a copy of each report made by an access person, including any brokerage confirmations and account statements made in lieu of these reports and submitted to the Firm’s Compliance Officer for a period of five years from the end of the fiscal year in which it was made;

(d) each memorandum made by the Compliance Officer of the Firm hereunder, for a period of five years from the end of the fiscal year in which it was made;

(e) a record of any violation hereof and any action taken as a result of such violation, for a period of five years following the end of the fiscal year in which the violation occurred; and

(f) a record of all written acknowledgements of the Code and any amendments for each person who is currently, or within the past 5 years was a supervised person.
