Around the world, the Rockefeller name embodies
a unique reputation to be treasured and protected.
At all times, we are committed to conducting our business
with uncompromising integrity to the
highest standards. To strengthen and deepen that

At all times, we are committed to

commitment, we must each assume responsibility for
our actions.
The Rockefeller Capital Management Code of
Ethics (“Code”) represents our individual and collective
obligation to preserve and protect the Firm’s principles,
shaped by over 140 years working alongside members of
the Rockefeller family. This
requires that we each do our part, even when not
expedient or easy to do so.
We recommend you use this Code as a resource and
compass to guide your decision-making and actions.
If you have questions about the Code of Ethics or any
related policy, seek guidance from your manager,
the Legal and Compliance
Department, or other contact referenced in this Code.

This Code of Ethics is rooted in Rockefeller Capital
Management’s (“RCM,” “Rockefeller,” or “Firm”) core
value of Commitment to Integrity. While we strictly adhere
to the principle “Do the right thing,” our Commitment to
Integrity signifies Rockefeller’s unwavering dedication to
upholding an ethical culture.
Neither Rockefeller’s Code nor its policies can anticipate or
address every possible issue or situation that may arise, and
the proper course of action may not always be clear.
When something doesn’t feel right or there is any uncertainty
as to the appropriate decision or course of action, asking yourself
questions through the lens of the Firm’s values and standards can
help you decide how to proceed.
When in doubt about a
compliance obligation,
the propriety of a course of action,
floatingimage_6a.jpg
floatingimage_7a.jpg
or interpretation of this Code, seek
guidance from the
Legal and Compliance Department
before moving forward.

This Code outlines the standards of ethical conduct we
expect from ourselves and each other. Rockefeller has
adopted this Code to affirm the values and principles that guide
the business conduct of the Firm and its Supervised Persons.
Supervised Persons include any:
Partner, officer, director (or other person occupying a
similar status or performing similar functions);
Employee, contingent worker, and intern of Rockefeller
and its subsidiaries;
Other person who provides investment advice on behalf of
Rockefeller; or
Other person subject to Rockefeller’s supervision and control
who the Legal & Compliance Department determines is
subject to the Code.
Compliance with the Code is a term and condition of each
Supervised Person’s employment. While you are not expected
to know the details of every law governing the Firm’s
business, you are expected to be familiar with and adhere to the
Firm’s Code of Ethics and policies and
procedures applicable to RCM, your business line, and job
There is zero tolerance for unethical behavior at
Rockefeller, and ignorance of the Code or Firm
policy is no excuse for violating it.
responsibilities.
The Code provides an overview of expected conduct in a
number of key areas, but it does not constitute a
comprehensive set of requirements. Rather, many of the
principles and standards stated in the Code are detailed in
separate Firm policies and procedures.
Therefore, RCM’s Code of Ethics must be read along with
other applicable Compliance policies, which can be found
on RCM’s Policies & Procedures Portal.

Regardless of business line, position, or seniority, all

policies and procedures, and maintain the highest
ethical standards in all we do.

various operating subsidiaries, including (i) Rockefeller Financial
LLC, (ii) Rockefeller & Co. LLC, (iii) Rockefeller Trust Company, N.A.,
and (iv) The Rockefeller Trust Company (Delaware)

Rockefeller Financial LLC is dually registered with the U.S.
Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an investment
adviser and broker-dealer.
Rockefeller & Co. LLC is registered with the SEC as an investment

This Code requires the Firm and its Supervised Persons to comply with the
federal securities laws, and it fulfills the Firm’s obligations to its clients
under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers
Act”) and Rule 17j-1 under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”)
with respect to registered investment companies advised by Rockefeller
& Co. LLC. The Code is intended to reflect the fiduciary principles that
govern the conduct of the Firm and its Supervised
Persons in those situations where the Firm acts as an investment advisor
as defined under the Advisers Act and is providing
investment advice to its clients.
For Rockefeller Asset Management Supervised Persons,
Rule 206(4)-8 under Section 206 generally prohibits an
investment adviser from making false or misleading statements,
omitting material facts, or engaging in
fraudulent, deceptive or manipulative conduct with respect
to investors and prospective investors in investment funds
advised by the investment adviser; and Rule17j-1 prohibits
any affiliate of a fund or its
investment adviser or principal underwriter from engaging in
fraudulent conduct in connection with the purchase or sale of
securities held or to be acquired by the fund. It is unlawful for
any investment adviser, directly or indirectly:
(i) to employ a device, scheme, or artifice to defraud any client
floatingimage_20a.jpg
or prospective client; (ii) to engage in any transaction, practice
or course of business which operates as a fraud or deceit upon
any client or prospective client; (iii) acting as a principal for his
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 a client, knowingly to effect any sale or purchase of any
security for the account of such client; or (iv) to engage in any
act, practice, or course of business which is fraudulent,
deceptive, or manipulative.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST DECISION GUIDE
As you consider a business decision or action, ask yourself:
floatingimage_36.jpg
floatingimage_25.jpg
floatingimage_26.jpg
floatingimage_39a.jpg
Are there competing interests, influences, or
incentives at hand?
Does the relationship or arrangement present a
conflict of interest now or in the foreseeable future?
Do the Firm’s or employee’s interests conflict
with the client’s interests?
Does the action being considered provide an
unfair or unbalanced outcome for the client,
Rockefeller, or the employee?
Does the action being considered unfairly benefit
one client over another client?
Is there an appearance of a conflict of interest
and, if so, what is the potential risk impact to the
client, employee, or Rockefeller?
Employee or a Client are in actual or perceived opposition.
Conflicts pose risks that decisions or actions may be
improperly influenced by personal or other motivations
that have the potential to harm clients, colleagues, and/or
the Firm.
To ensure Rockefeller maintains its reputation and
commitment to the highest ethical standards, the Firm
has established a Conflicts of Interest Policy that requires
Rockefeller, its various business units, and Supervised persons
to:
Identify and manage conflicts through an
established conflicts framework;
Be vigilant about whether activities or
relationships could create an actual or potential
conflict of interest, or even the appearance of a
conflict, and avoid those activities or
relationships; and
Adhere to the Conflicts of Interest Policy to
eliminate and/or mitigate any conflicts.
Where a conflict cannot be avoided, it must be disclosed so the
Firm can review and manage the conflict in an appropriate
manner.

There are potential conflicts that may arise as a
consequence of the business and other relationships of
RAM’s Supervised Persons’ immediate family and other
close, personal relationships.
RAM requires Supervised Persons to complete a
questionnaire to disclose certain family and close,
personal relationships that may give rise to actual or
potential material conflicts of interest and will seek to
identify and address any actual or potential material
conflicts of interest arising from these relationships.

While the giving or receiving of gifts and entertainment has
become a common industry practice, it is especially important
that our actions remain consistent with
Rockefeller’s high ethical standards and commitment to
effective conflict of interest management.
The Gifts & Entertainment Policy provides guidance on gift
and entertainment limits and books and records
requirements, which may vary depending upon the
business line you work for. It also addresses
non-cash compensation requirements.
The Gifts & Entertainment policy prohibits the receipt of
cash/cash equivalents, gifts in connection with an ERISA
plan, and gifts or entertainment in connection with any
government or foreign official.
Our obligation to Rockefeller’s clients and each other to use good
judgment and maintain high ethical standards in all we do
extends to participation in any business activity outside the
scope of our relationship with Rockefeller. Examples
Include, but are not limited to, serving as a trustee, officer, or
board member to a non-profit organization, full or partial
ownership in a private operating business, and serving on the board
of a condo association.
The Outside Business Activities Policy (“OBA Policy”) requires all
OBAs must be disclosed and submitted for approval.
Supervised Persons are prohibited from engaging in an OBA prior
to obtaining the required approvals.

Rockefeller recognizes the importance to Supervised Persons of
being able to manage and develop their own
and their dependents’ financial resources through long-term
investments and strategies. At the same time, when
conducting personal account trading, Supervised Persons must
always place the interests of RCM clients first, avoid actual,
potential, or perceived conflicts of interest, and comply with all
applicable laws and regulations.
KEY REQUIREMENTS INCLUDE:
Rockefeller is subject to various laws and/or regulations governing
the personal trading of securities that, if not adhered to, subject the
Firm to legal, regulatory, and
reputation risk. Rockefeller has established requirements
and limitations on personal account trading to minimize
potential conflicts of interest and ensure regulatory
compliance. These requirements and limits may vary
depending on the business line you work for and position within the
Firm.
All employees are required to maintain their personal accounts at an approved broker; Managing Directors and/or
Private Advisors are required to maintain their personal accounts at RCM.
floatingimage_52a.jpg

There has been an increase in restrictions on political
activity by companies and their employees, and sometimes those
employees’ immediate family members, who conduct business
with government entities. Violations, even if
unintentional, can have a significant negative impact on the
Firm.
Supervised Persons must request prior review and receive
written approval from Compliance before making, soliciting,
or coordinating any political contribution. Immediate family
members of certain Supervised Persons are also prohibited from

Supervised Persons must maintain accurate tax records on
behalf of their clients and are prohibited from engaging in any
activities that would assist a client in committing tax evasion.
Supervised persons should be vigilant and
promptly report to the Legal & Compliance Department any
violations, potential violations, or conduct that appears to be
tax evasion or concealment of information from tax
authorities.
Questions about whether a particular act or
request constitutes tax evasion should be raised with a supervisor or the
Legal & Compliance Department at the earliest possible stage.
At Rockefeller we aim to demonstrate discipline and
excellence in all aspects of operating the business
including in the creation, management and required retention of
important documents. Furthermore, our business is
subject to recordkeeping requirements promulgated
and
enforced by the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC), the various states, and self-
regulatory agencies such as the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
To conduct its business successfully and meet legal and
regulatory requirements, Rockefeller requires complete and
accurate books and records of its business activities. The Firm has
policies and procedures, including specific retention periods,
designed to comply with these requirements.
Supervised Persons are responsible for maintaining the integrity
of their records and must adhere to all applicable Firm policies
and procedures.

Supervised Persons must protect client, proprietary,
and other confidential information. The mishandling, loss,
unauthorized disclosure, or access of such information could
result in significant legal, business, regulatory, and
reputational harm to Rockefeller.
Rockefeller has established information barriers policies
and procedures to control the dissemination and/or
misuse of confidential information, including proprietary and material
non-public information (“MNPI”). All confidential information must be
safeguarded and used solely for the intended business purposes of
Rockefeller and applicable clients.
Material non-public information (MNPI) is information that
(1) has not yet been broadly disseminated in the
marketplace and (2) a reasonable investor would
consider important in making a decision to buy, hold or
sell a security.
In certain circumstances, employees may become
aware of MNPI in their general course of business
activities or in
servicing client transactions. This information may have
been
intentionally provided by the client or inadvertently
received. If a public side employee has become aware
of MNPI, they must immediately inform the Control
Group to notify them of the facts and circumstances associated
with the information. Employees who become aware of MNPI may
be wall crossed by the Control Group and subject to the
requirements noted in this policy and other considerations.
It is illegal and in contravention of Rockefeller policy for anyone
to trade or cause the trading of a security or related financial
instrument (collectively “security”) while in
possession of MNPI relating to that security. This conduct is
referred to as insider trading and may result in civil and/or criminal
penalties. The prohibition on insider trading applies to both
personal securities transactions and to transactions entered on
behalf of clients or prospective clients of the Firm.

The business world grows increasingly digital every day, and
with it the volume and sophistication of threats to
cybersecurity. It’s more important than ever that we
practice vigilance against bad cyber actors in our online
communications, interactions, and transactions of every kind.
To mitigate the risk associated with the use of digital
technology, the Firm maintains a framework of safeguards to
prevent, detect, and respond to cyber threats. Supervised Persons
share responsibility with the Firm for protecting
customer information and the Firm from cyber threats.
Safeguards in Privacy, Identity Theft,
and Cybersecurity are key to
maintaining trust with our clients.
Supervised Persons must comply with the Firm’s data
protection policies and procedures and may not:
Access confidential information remotely except
through devices that have appropriate Firm-
approved security and software
Use Wi-Fi that is not password protected to access
confidential information
Share their Rockefeller username or passwords with
others
Access a client’s Rockefeller account or any client’s
external, third-party account using the client’s own
unique identifying information, even if the client has
provided authorization for such access.

Many states have enacted security breach notification laws that
require the reporting of security breaches to regulatory
agencies and affected customers. In the event of a breach or
other cybersecurity-related incident, Supervised Persons must
immediately report the incident to the Legal & Compliance
Department, which will determine the
appropriate course of action regarding any applicable
notification requirements.
