1.    Introduction and Purpose of the Code of Ethics.
      -----------------------------------------------

      As an investment  management firm,  Tremont Partners,  Inc.  ("Tremont")
owes a fiduciary  responsibility  to our clients,  including those  investment
companies  for which (i)  OppenheimerFunds,  Inc. or any of its  affiliates or
subsidiaries  (collectively,  "OFI"),  serves as  investment  adviser and (ii)
Tremont serves as investment  manager (or  sub-adviser),  which as of the date
hereof are Oppenheimer  Tremont Market Neutral Fund, LLC,  Oppenheimer Tremont
Opportunity  Fund, LLC, OFI Tremont Market Neutral Hedge Fund, and OFI Tremont
Core  Strategies  Hedge Fund (such funds,  together with any other  investment
companies  for  which OFI and  Tremont  may  serve in such  capacities,  being
collectively referred to hereinafter as the "OFI/Tremont  Funds").  Tremont is
affiliated  with OFI through the 100% ownership of Tremont's  parent  company,
Tremont  Capital  Management,   Inc.  ("Tremont   Capital"),   by  Oppenheimer
Acquisition  Corp.  Tremont and every employee of Tremont Capital  principally
located at or  associated  with the offices of Tremont and Tremont  Capital at
Rye, New York (each,  an "Employee"  and  collectively  the  "Employees")  owe
those  clients a duty of undivided  loyalty.  Our clients  expect us to act in
their best  interests  at all times.  Tremont  seeks to maintain a  reputation
for fair dealing and honesty.

      This Code of Ethics ("Code")  establishes  standards of conduct expected
of all Employees and addresses  conflicts that arise from Employees'  personal
trading and other  activities.  Every Employee is expected to fully understand
and adhere to the  policies  and  procedures  set forth in this Code.  As each
Employee  must be  aware,  we  work in a  highly  regulated  industry  and are
governed by an ever-increasing body of federal,  state, and international laws
and  numerous  rules and  regulations  which,  if not  observed,  can  subject
Tremont and/or Employees to regulatory sanctions.

      This Code  represents  a  restatement  of the  existing  Tremont code of
ethics and has been adopted by Tremont in  conjunction  with the amendment and
restatement of the separate,  but  substantially  similar,  OFI code of ethics
encompassing:  the OFI/Tremont  Funds;  investment  companies for which OFI or
Centennial Asset Management  Corporation  ("CAMC") acts as investment adviser;
and OFI, CAMC and OFI's other subsidiaries or directly  controlled  affiliates
that are registered  investment advisers;  and  OppenheimerFunds  Distributor,
Inc.  (such  code  being  referred  to  hereinafter  as  the  "OFI  Code")  in
compliance  with Rule  17j-1  under the  Investment  Company  Act of 1940,  as
amended  ("1940  Act"),  or Rule 204A-1 under the  Investment  Advisers Act of
1940, as amended ("Advisers Act").

      The Code is designed  to  establish  procedures  for the  detection  and
prevention of activities  by which persons  having  knowledge of the holdings,
recommended  investments  and  investment  intentions  of  Tremont's  clients,
including  the  OFI/Tremont  Funds  and  other  investment  funds,  for  which
Tremont acts as adviser or sub-adviser (collectively,  "Advisory Clients") may
abuse their fiduciary duties,  and otherwise to deal with the type of conflict
of interest situations addressed by Rule 17j-1 and Rule 204A-1.

      Although the Code is intended to provide  each  Employee  with  guidance
and  certainty  as  to  whether  or  not  certain  actions  or  practices  are
permissible,  it does not cover  every  issue an  Employee  may face.  In this
regard,  Tremont and Tremont  Capital also maintain other  compliance-oriented
policies and procedures  (including  among others,  a separate Code of Conduct
adopted  by  Tremont  and  Tremont  Capital as part of the OFI Code of Conduct
(the "Code of  Conduct")  that may be  directly  applicable  to an  Employee's
specific  responsibilities  and  duties.  Nevertheless,  this  Code  should be
viewed  as a guide  for each  Employee  and  Tremont  with  respect  to how we
jointly  must  conduct our  business to live up to our guiding  tenet that the
interests of our clients and customers must always come first.

      If you have any questions  about this Code, you should discuss them with
the Code  Administrator  as soon as  possible  to  ensure  that you  remain in
compliance  with the Code at all  times.  In the event that any  provision  of
this Code  conflicts  with any other  Tremont  or  Tremont  Capital  policy or
procedure,  the provisions of this Code shall apply.  Please  understand  that
you are expected to adhere to all company policies at all times.

      All  Employees  are expected to read the Code  carefully and observe and
adhere to its  guidance at all times.  On an annual  basis,  and at such other
times as the  Code  Administrator  may deem  necessary  or  appropriate,  each
Employee  must  acknowledge  in writing,  in the form set forth in Appendix C,
that he or she has  read  the Code and  agrees  to  comply  with the Code as a
condition  of his or her  employment.  All  Employees  have an  obligation  to
provide  notice  to the Code  Administrator  on a  timely  basis if there is a
change  to  their  duties,  responsibilities  or  title  which  affects  their
reporting status under this Code.

2.    Statement  of  General  Principles.  In  general,  every  Employee  must
observe  the  following  fiduciary  principles  with  respect  to  his  or her
personal investment activities:

      (a)...At all times,  each  Employee must place the interests of Advisory
Clients first;

      (b)...All personal  securities  transactions  of each  Employee  must be
conducted  consistent  with  this  Code and in such a manner  as to avoid  any
actual or  potential  conflict  of  interest  or any  abuse of the  Employee's
position of trust and responsibility; and

      (c)...No Employee  should  take  inappropriate  advantage  of his or her
position at Tremont and Tremont Capital.

      The provisions of this Code reflect the fact that the OFI/Tremont  Funds
and Tremont's other clients  presently pursue their  investment  objectives by
investing in private  investment  funds (and similar  investment  vehicles) or
with underlying  investment  managers through separate accounts (such funds or
managers  in  or  with  which  such  clients  may  invest  being  collectively
referred to hereinafter as "Private Funds").

3.    Standards of Business Conduct
      -----------------------------

      The specific  provisions  and  reporting  requirements  of this Code are
concerned  primarily with those investment  activities of an Access Person (as
defined  below) who may benefit from or interfere with the purchase or sale of
portfolio  securities by Advisory  Clients.  All Employees are prohibited from
using  information  concerning the investment  intentions of Advisory Clients,
or the  Employees'  ability  to  influence  such  investment  intentions,  for
personal  gain or in a manner  detrimental  to the  interests  of any Advisory
Client.  In this regard,  each Employee also should refer to the separate Code
of Conduct which governs  certain other  activities of Employees.  In addition
to this Code and the separate Code of Conduct,  all Employees must comply with
the following general standards of business conduct.

      (a)...Compliance  with Laws and  Regulations.  All Employees must comply
with all federal,  state and local laws,  rules and regulations  applicable to
the business or operations of Tremont and, including,  but not limited to, the
federal securities laws.(1)  In  particular,  Employees  (including all Access
Persons) are not permitted,  in connection with the purchase or sale, directly
or indirectly, of a Security Held or to Be Acquired by an Advisory Client, to:

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

            (ii)  make to such  Advisory  Client  any  untrue  statement  of a
            material fact or omit to state to such Advisory  Client a material
            fact necessary in order to make the  statements  made, in light of
            the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading;

            (iii) engage in any act,  practice,  or course of  business  which
            operates  or  would  operate  as a fraud or  deceit  upon any such
            Advisory Client; or

            (iv)  engage in any  manipulative  practice  with  respect to such
            Advisory Client.

      Although  Tremont and the  OFI/Tremont  Funds expect that Employees will
not generally have knowledge of the current  investment  activities of Private
Funds in which the  OFI/Tremont  Funds  invest,  persons  subject to this Code
(including  Access Persons) should  recognize that, in view of the broad range
of conduct  prohibited by applicable  law,  rules and  regulations  this Code,
personal  transactions  in a Security  Held or to be Acquired (as such term is
defined  herein)  by  Private  Funds in which the  OFI/Tremont  Funds or other
Advisory  Clients  invest will be treated as a violation  of this Code (absent
pre-clearance  as contemplated in Section 9 and 10 below or another  available
exemption from the Code's prohibitions).

      (b)...Conflicts   of   Interest.   As  a   fiduciary,   Tremont  has  an
affirmative duty of care, loyalty,  honesty, and good faith to act in the best
interests of its clients.  Compliance with this duty can be achieved by trying
to avoid  conflicts of interest  and by fully  disclosing  all material  facts
concerning  any  conflict  that does arise with  respect  to any  client.  All
Employees  must try to avoid  situations  that  have  even the  appearance  of
conflict  or  impropriety.   (See  also  the  section  titled   "Conflicts  of
Interests" in the separate Code of Conduct.)

      (c)...Conflicts  Among  Client  Interests.  Conflicts  of  interest  may
arise when Tremont or its Employees  have reason to favor the interests of one
client over another  client  (e.g.,  larger  accounts  over smaller  accounts,
accounts  compensated  by performance  fees over accounts not so  compensated,
accounts in which Employees have made material personal investments,  accounts
of close friends or relatives of  Employees).  Such  inappropriate  favoritism
of one client over another client would  constitute a breach of fiduciary duty
and is  expressly  prohibited.  (See also the  section  titled  "Conflicts  of
Interests" in the separate Code of Conduct.)

      (d)...Competing  with Client Trades.  All Employees are prohibited  from
using knowledge about pending or currently considered securities  transactions
for clients to profit personally,  directly or indirectly, as a result of such
transactions,  including by purchasing or selling such  securities.  Conflicts
raised by personal  securities  transactions  are  addressed  specifically  in
Sections 9-10 of this Code.

      (e)...Confidentiality of Advisory Client  Transactions.  Until disclosed
in a public report to  shareholders  or to the SEC in the normal  course,  all
information  concerning a Security (as defined  herein) Being  Considered  for
Purchase  or Sale  (as  such  term is also  defined  herein)  by any  Advisory
Client shall be kept  confidential by all Employees and disclosed by them only
on a need to know  basis  in  accordance  with  Tremont's  policies  governing
dissemination  of  Advisory  Client  portfolio  holdings,  as the  same may be
adopted from time to time.  If you have any  questions  about these  policies,
please see the Code  Administrator,  the Director of  Investment  Relationship
Management  or the Director of  Investment  Management.  (See also the section
titled "Confidentiality" in the separate Code of Conduct.)

      (f)...Disclosure of Fund Portfolio  Holdings.  Until publicly disclosed,
an  Advisory  Client's  portfolio   holdings  are  proprietary,   confidential
business  information.  In respect of the OFI/Tremont Funds, all Employees are
subject to the  separate  Policy  Governing  Dissemination  of Fund  Portfolio
Holdings  applicable to the  OFI/Tremont  Funds,  as established by OFI, which
sets forth the  conditions  under which an Employee may  disclose  information
about an OFI/Tremont  Fund's  portfolio  holdings.  In general,  the policy is
designed to assure that  information  about portfolio  holdings is distributed
in a manner that conforms to applicable  laws and  regulations  and to prevent
that information  from being used in a manner that could  negatively  affect a
fund's  investment  program  or  otherwise  enable  third  parties to use that
information  in a  manner  that is not in the  best  interests  of such  fund.
Generally,   any  non-public   portfolio  holding   information  may  only  be
distributed  pursuant  to a  confidentiality  agreement  approved  by  Tremont
Capital's or OFI's Legal  Department,  as relevant.  If you have any questions
about OFI's Policy Governing Dissemination of Fund Portfolio Holdings,  please
contact the Code Administrator.

      (g)...Insider Trading.  All Employees are subject to Tremont's  separate
insider trading  policies and procedures which are considered an integral part
of  this  Code  (attached  as  Appendix  A to  this  Code).  In  general,  all
Employees  are  prohibited  from  trading,  either  personally or on behalf of
others, while in possession of material, nonpublic information.  Employees are
also prohibited from communicating  material  nonpublic  information to others
in violation of the law.

      (h)...Personal  Securities  Transactions.  All  Employees  must strictly
comply with Tremont's policies and procedures  regarding  personal  securities
transactions.  As explained in further detail  throughout  this Code, the Code
sets forth the certain  standards for personal  trading by persons  subject to
its provisions.

4.    Definitions - As used herein:

(a)    "Access  Person"  means  any  officer,   director,   general   partner,
Investment   Person,   trustee  or  certain  other   Employees  (as  described
immediately  below) of or associated with Tremont or Tremont  Capital,  or any
persons directly  controlled by Tremont who directly or indirectly control (as
defined in the 1940 Act) the  activities  of such  persons.  "Access  Persons"
does not include persons who are subject to the OFI Code.

      An Access Person also means any natural  person in a control (as defined
in the 1940 Act)  relationship  to Tremont or Tremont  Capital (or any company
in  a  control  relationship  to  Tremont  or  Tremont  Capital)  who  obtains
information  concerning  recommendations  made to any  OFI/Tremont  Fund  with
regard to the purchase or sale of Securities by such fund.

      Notwithstanding  the  definitions  above,  for purposes of the reporting
requirements  under Section 11 of this Code, an  "Independent  Director" (or a
non-independent  director  who is not  otherwise  an employee of Tremont or an
Access Person in respect of Tremont) of an OFI/Tremont  Fund is not considered
an Access Person.

      An Employee is an Access Person if:

(i)   in  connection  with  his or  her  regular  functions  or  duties,  that
            Employee   makes,   participates,   in  or   obtains   information
            regarding,  the  purchase  or sale of a  Security  by an  Advisory
            Client,   or  whose   functions   relate  to  the  making  of  any
            recommendations with respect to such purchases or sales.

(ii)  the Employee  has access to timely  information  relating to  investment
            management  activities,  research and/or client portfolio holdings
            and those who in the course of their employment  regularly receive
            access to trading activity of Advisory Clients; or

(iii) the Employee has been notified in writing by the Code  Administrator (or
            a designee)  that the  Employee has been  designated  as an Access
            Persons by the Code  Administrator  by virtue of the nature of the
            Employee's duties and functions.

      In terms of the  OFI/Tremont  Funds,  Employees  that may be  considered
Access  Persons in relation to such funds are subject to, and covered by, this
Code,  including  with respect to provisions  pertaining  specifically  to the
OFI/Tremont Funds.

      Presently,  it is Tremont's policy to treat every Employee located at or
associated  with  Tremont  Capital's  Rye,  New York  offices  to be a Tremont
"Access Person."

(b)    "Advisory  Client" means any client,  including the  OFI/Tremont  Funds
and  other   investment   funds,   for  which   Tremont  acts  as  adviser  or
sub-adviser.

(c)   "Beneficial  Interest" means any interest by which an Access Person,  or
any  Family  Member  living in the same  household  as an Access  Person,  can
directly or indirectly  derive a monetary  benefit from the purchase,  sale or
ownership of a Security except such interests as the Code of Ethics  Oversight
Committee  (or,  in the  case of the  OFI/Tremont  Funds,  a  majority  of the
Independent  Directors of the affected  OFI/Tremont Fund(s) shall determine to
be too remote for the purpose of this Code.

      For purposes of this  definition  and the Code,  "Family  Member"  shall
include: grandparents, parents, mother-in-law or father-in-law;  husband, wife
or domestic  partner  (whether  registered or  unregistered  under  applicable
law);   brother,   sister,   brother-in-law,   sister-in-law,   son-in-law  or
daughter-in-law;  children  (including step and adoptive  relationships);  and
grandchildren.  In a situation in which the status of a "Family  Member" is in
question,  such person shall be presumed to be a "Family  Member" for purposes
of this Code. It is the Employee's  burden to affirmatively  prove to the Code
Administrator  that the other person at issue is not a "Family  Member" within
this definition.

(d)   "Code  Administrator"  is the person appointed by Tremont as responsible
for the day-to-day  administration  of the Code who, as of the date hereof, is

(h)    "Independent   Director"   means  any   director   or  trustee  of  the

2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act) of such fund.  Notwithstanding  the definition of an
Access Person above,  for purposes of this Code,  an  Independent  Director is
not considered an Access Person.

(i)   "Initial  Public  Offering"  means an offering of securities  registered
under the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as amended  ("1933  Act"),  the issuer of
which  immediately  before the  registration  was not subject to the reporting

(j)   "Investment  Person"  means  an  Access  Person  who is (1) a  Portfolio
Manager,  (2) a securities  analyst who provides  information  and advice to a
Portfolio Manager or who helps execute a Portfolio  Manager's  decisions,  (3)

participates  in  making   recommendations   regarding  an  Advisory  Client's
purchase or sale of any Security,  (4) any Employee who works  directly with a
Portfolio  Manager or in the same  department as the Portfolio  Manager or (5)
any  natural  person  in a  control  relationship  to an  OFI/Tremont  Fund or
Tremont,   and  not  otherwise   covered  under  the  OFI  Code,  who  obtains
information  concerning  recommendations  made to the  OFI/Tremont  Fund  with
regard to the purchase or sale of a Security by the OFI/Tremont Fund.

      In addition  to the above  definitions,  an  Employee is an  "Investment
Person"  if  the   Employee   has  been   notified  in  writing  by  the  Code
Administrator  (or a designee)  that the  Employee has been  designated  as an
"Investment  Person" by the Code  Administrator by virtue of the nature of the
Employee's duties and functions.

(k)   "OFI" has the meaning given to it in Section 1 hereof.

(l)    "OFI/Tremont Fund" has the meaning given to it in Section 1 hereof.

or  privilege  entered  into on a national  securities  exchange  relating  to

or right to  subscribe to or purchase any of the  foregoing.  References  to a
"Security" in the Code shall  include any warrant for,  option in, or security
or other  instrument  immediately  convertible  into or whose value is derived

investment  company,  but for purposes of this Code, excludes shares issued by

to Be  Acquired"  also  includes  any  option  to  purchase  or sell,  and any
security convertible into or exchangeable for, a Security.

allocation  decision  in  respect of such  Security  to an  Advisory  Client's
portfolio  is  made by or on  behalf  of  Tremont  or the  relevant  Portfolio
Manager  until the time such  allocation  with  respect  to that  Security  is
completed or withdrawn.

5.    All Employees--Restrictions on Outside Business Activities

      No Employee may serve as a director,  trustee, officer, owner or partner
of any other  business  organization,  with or without  compensation,  without
prior  written  approval  of  the  General  Counsel  of  Tremont  Capital.  An
Employee may serve without  compensation  as a director,  trustee,  officer or
representative of a non-profit  organization  (e.g.,  school board,  hospital,
professional  or social  organization)  without prior  approval if there is no
conflict of interest with the Employee's  duties to Tremont  Capital or any of
its  subsidiaries,  including  Tremont.  These positions should be reported to
the Employee's  department  manager.  The department manager should notify the
Code  Administrator  of such  reports  no less than  quarterly.  (See also the
section titled "Conflicts of Interests" in the separate Code of Conduct.)

6.    All Employees--Restrictions on Gifts from Business Associates

      All  Employees  are subject to Tremont  Capital's  separate  Gift Policy
which is considered  an integral part of this Code  (attached as Appendix B to
this Code).

7.    All Employees--Investments in Oppenheimer Funds.

      (a)   Any  Employee who holds  shares of any of the  OFI/Tremont  Funds,
must hold those shares in an account  identified  as an "OFI 401(k)  account,"
"OFI  Retirement  account,"  "OFI  Deferred   Compensation  account"  or  "OFI
Employees Account" or such other account as may be identified by OFI.

      (b)   Any  Employee  who holds  shares of any such  OFI/Tremont  Fund in
other types of accounts  must arrange to transfer  those  holdings into one of
the accounts described above.  Notwithstanding  this requirement,  an Employee
who holds  shares in any such  OFI/Tremont  Fund in a  retirement  account  or
other  qualified  retirement  account  with  another  employer  that cannot be
transferred  to  one of the  accounts  identified  above  is not  required  to
transfer  those shares to one of the accounts  identified  above  provided the
Employee provides a written  explanation to the Code Administrator  describing
the circumstances that prevent him or her from transferring the shares.

      (c)   Tremont's  policy  is  to  aid  OFI  in  its  efforts  to  prevent
disruptive  short-term  trading  in  any  of  its  funds.  Accordingly,   when
purchasing,  exchanging,  or  redeeming  shares  of any  such OFI  Funds,  all
Employees  must comply in all respects  with the policies  and  standards  set
forth in the funds' prospectuses,  including  specifically the restrictions on
market timing activities, exchanges and redemption policies.

8.    Requirements for Personal Accounts for Access Persons

      All Access  Persons  may  maintain  Personal  Accounts  with the broker,
dealer or bank of their  choice,  provided the broker,  dealer or bank is able
to  provide  copies of the  Access  Persons'  account  statements  to the Code
Administrator  no less than quarterly and such  statements are being provided.
However,  the Code of Ethics  Oversight  Committee  reserves  the right in its
sole  discretion  to require such Access  Persons to maintain  their  Personal
Accounts  with  broker-dealers  designated  by the  Committee  or to  prohibit
Access  Persons  from  maintaining  their  Personal  Accounts  with  specified
broker-dealers.

      The  requirements  of this section do not apply to Personal  Accounts in
which Access Persons hold shares of an OFI fund. (Please see Section 7.)

9.    Access Persons--Prohibited Transactions in Securities

      (Note:  Any profits  realized  on trades  prohibited  by this  Section 9
shall be subject to disgorgement.)

      (a)   Prohibited Transactions.  In addition to the  prohibitions  or
restrictions  imposed in Sections 1 through 8 of this Code,  an Access  Person
is further prohibited from:

            (i)   purchasing  or selling any  Security for his or her Personal
            Account in a transaction  not  otherwise  prohibited or restricted
            hereunder  with the actual  knowledge,  or having  reason to know,
            that,  within 15 calendar days before,  or 15 calendar days after,
            the same Security is being,  has been or will be purchased or sold
            by (i) an Advisory  Client,  or (ii) any Private Fund (A) in which
            an  Advisory   Client  is  an  investor  or  (B)  which  is  Being
            Considered  for  Purchase  or  Sale  by  Tremont  for an  Advisory
            Client.  Provided  however,  the Code  Administrator  may  exclude
            from  this  provision  trades  for an  Advisory  Client  that  are
            programmatic   in  nature  and  do  not  represent  a  substantive
            investment  decision  with  respect  to  any  particular  Security
            (e.g., a program trade to sell pro-rata  portions of each Security
            in an Advisory Client's  portfolio).  The Code Administrator shall
            maintain a record of such transactions; or

            (ii)  purchasing or selling any Security  without the pre-approval
            of the  Code  Administrator  where  such  Security,  as set  forth
            herein or as may otherwise be required by the Code  Administrator,
            may only be purchased or sold with such pre-approval.

      Notwithstanding the prohibitions concerning the transactions set forth
in (i) above, if an Access Person has received the express, written
pre-approval of the Code Administrator with respect to any such proposed
transaction that would otherwise be so prohibited,, then such transaction may
be effected by the person.  The basis upon which the Code Administrator may
approve such transaction is that the proposed purchase and sale will not
occasion the improper use of an Advisory Client's proprietary information or
an abuse of the Access Person's position of trust and responsibility, and
because: the potential harm to the Advisory Client is remote, plus such
transaction would be unlikely to affect a highly institutionalized market or
is clearly not related economically to a Security Held or to be Acquired, or
Being Considered for Purchase or Sale, by an Advisory Client or any Private
Fund in which such Advisory Client is an investor  or Being Considered for
Purchase or Sale for an Advisory Client.

      (b)   Transactions Requiring Pre-Approval.  Provided  not  otherwise
prohibited by the  provisions of Section 9(a), the following  transactions  by
Access  Persons may be effected by them in their  Personal  Accounts  but only
with the pre-approval of the Code Administrator:

            (i)   Purchasing  any  Security in an Initial  Public  Offering or
            Private  Placement,  including  any interest in a Private Fund, or
            selling any interest in a Private Fund, without  pre-approval from
            the Code Administrator; or

             (ii) Purchasing   or  selling  any   interest  in  a   collective
            investment  vehicle  that is exempt  from  registration  under the
            1933 Act,  including,  but not limited to,  hedge  funds,  private
            funds  or  similar   investment  limited   partnerships,   without
            pre-approval from the Code Administrator.

      (c)   Transactions  Exempt from these Prohibitions or Restrictions.  The
following  transactions  by  Access  Persons  are  expressly  exempt  from the
prohibitions or restrictions of this Section 9:

            (i)   Purchases or sales of Securities made in a Personal  Account
            over which an Access  Person has no direct or  indirect  influence
            or  control,  such as Personal  Accounts  managed by a third party
            over which such Access Person has no investment  discretion (Note:
                                                                         ----
            Any Personal  Account  covered by the  provisions  of this Section
            9(c)(i) remains  subject to the reporting  requirements of Section
            11);

            (ii)  Involuntary  purchases or sales of  Securities in a Personal
            Account,  such  as  Securities  received  pursuant  to a  dividend
            reinvestment plan or a stock split or through a gift or bequest;

            (iii) Purchases of  Securities  in a Personal  Account that result
            from the exercise of rights  acquired  from an issuer as part of a
            pro rata  distribution  to all holders of a class of Securities of
            such issuer and the sale of such rights; or

            (iv)  Transactions in any Security not otherwise prohibited or
            restricted by Section 9(a) or 9(b) or any other provision of this
            Code.

      (d)   Certain  Pre-Approvals;   Length  of  Pre-Approvals.   (i)  Access
Persons seeking  pre-approval  for the acquisition of a Security in an Initial
Public  Offering or a Private  Placement,  including  an interest in a Private
Fund, or the sale of an interest in a Private  Fund,  must set forth in detail
the rationale for such transaction.

            (ii)  Pre-approval  remains  in  effect  until the end of the next
business  day on  which  such  pre-approval  is  granted,  or  until  the next
immediately  available date for subscription in the case of a Private Fund, or
as otherwise  specified  by the Code  Administrator.  (See  Appendix C for the
various pre-approval forms.)

10.   Investment Persons--Prohibited Transactions in Securities.

      Note:  Any profits  realized  on trades  prohibited  by this  Section 10
      shall be subject to disgorgement.

      (Note:  Every  Investment  Person  also is an Access  Person and remains
subject  to the  prohibitions  in the  previous  sections  to the  extent  not
otherwise  included in this Section.)  Certain Access Persons may have greater
access to Advisory  Clients'  information  and there is an increased risk that
those Access  Persons may benefit from or interfere  with the purchase or sale
of portfolio securities by Advisory Clients.  Accordingly,  it is necessary to
further  categorize  those persons as  "Investment  Persons" and to impose the
following enhanced restrictions on personal trading by Investment Persons:

      (a)   Prohibited Transactions.  In addition to the  prohibitions  or
restrictions  imposed  in  Sections 1 through 8 of this  Code,  the  following
prohibitions apply to transactions by Investment Persons:

            (i)   Investment   Persons  are  prohibited   from  purchasing  or
            selling  any  Security  for  his  or  her  Personal  Account  in a
            transaction not otherwise  prohibited or restricted hereunder with
            the actual  knowledge,  or having reason to know, that,  within 15
            calendar  days  before,  or  15  calendar  days  after,  the  same
            Security is being,  has been or will be  purchased  or sold by (i)
            an  Advisory  Client,  or (ii)  any  Private  Fund (A) in which an
            Advisory  Client is an investor  or (B) which is Being  Considered
            for Purchase or Sale by Tremont for an Advisory  Client.  Provided
            however,  the Code  Administrator  may exclude from this provision
            trades for an Advisory Client that are  programmatic in nature and
            do not  represent a substantive  investment  decision with respect
            to  any  particular  Security  (e.g.,  a  program  trade  to  sell
            pro-rata  portions  of  each  Security  in  an  Advisory  Client's
            portfolio).  The Code  Administrator  shall  maintain  a record of
            such transactions;

            (ii)  Notwithstanding  that  such  transaction  may  otherwise  be
            permitted  pursuant  to  (i)  above,  no  Employee  who  may be an
            Investment  Person  with  respect to any OFI fund,  other than the
            OFI/Tremont Funds, may sell a Security short,  except a short sale
            as a hedge  against a long  position in the same  security if such
            short sale has been pre-approved by the Code Administrator; and

            (iii) Notwithstanding  that any such  transaction may otherwise be
            permitted  pursuant  to  (i)  above,  no  Employee  who  may be an
            Investment  Person  with  respect to any OFI fund,  other than the
            OFI/Tremont  Funds  may  purchase  or sell in his or her  Personal
            Account  options or futures other than options and futures related
            to broad-based indices,  U.S. Treasury securities,  currencies and
            long portfolio  positions in the same or a  substantially  similar
            security; and

            (iv)  No  Investment  Person  may  purchase  or sell any  Security
            without  the  pre-approval  of the Code  Administrator  where such
            Security,  as provided herein or as otherwise required by the Code
            Administrator,   may  only  be   purchased   or  sold   with  such
            pre-approval.

      Notwithstanding  the prohibitions  concerning the transactions set forth
in Section  10(a)(i),  if an  Investment  Person  has  received  the  express,
written  pre-approval of the Code  Administrator with respect to such person's
proposed  purchase of an interest in a Private Fund,  which would otherwise be
so  prohibited,  then  such  transaction  may be  effected  by the  Investment
Person.  The  basis  upon  which  the  Code  Administrator  may  approve  such
transaction  is that the  proposed  purchase  and sale will not  occasion  the
improper use of an Advisory Client's  proprietary  information or the abuse of
the Investment Person's position of trust and responsibility,  and because the
potential harm to the Advisory Client is remote.

      (b)   Additional Transactions Prohibited or Restricted.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,  the Code of Ethics Oversight Committee, in its
discretion,  may at  any  time  prohibit  or  restrict  any  other  securities
transaction,  or class of  transactions,  in addition to those  enumerated  or
contemplated  herein, by Investment  Persons relative to the OFI/Tremont Funds
or otherwise.

     (c) Transactions  Requiring  Pre-Approval Provided not otherwise prohibited
by the provisions of Section 10(a),  the following  transactions may be effected
by Investment  Persons in their Personal  Accounts with the  pre-approval of the
Code Administrator:

            (i)   Purchasing  any  Security in an Initial  Public  Offering or
            Private  Placement,  including  any interest in a Private Fund, or
            selling any interest in a Private Fund, without  pre-approval from
            the Code Administrator;

      Where  any  Investment  Person  has  made  a  permitted  purchase  of  a
Security in an Initial Public Offering or a Private  Placement,  including any
interest in a Private  Fund,  or  permitted  sale of any interest in a Private
Fund,  for  his  or her  Personal  Accoun,t  with  respect  to any  subsequent
consideration  of an investment in Securities of the same or a related  issuer
for an Advisory  Client,  Tremont may require an  independent  review,  to the
extent  necessary,  by  Investment  Persons who do not have an interest in the
issuer.

            (ii)  Purchasing   or  selling  any   interest  in  a   collective
            investment  vehicle  that is exempt  from  registration  under the
            1933 Act,  including,  but not limited to,  hedge  funds,  private
            funds  or  similar   investment  limited   partnerships,   without
            pre-approval from the Code Administrator;

            (iii) Purchasing  or selling  shares of any open-end OFI fund that
            the  Investment  Person  serves in the  capacity,  or performs the
            functions,  that  warrant  him  or  her  to  be  identified  as an
            Investment Person; or

            (iv)  Purchasing or selling  shares of any non-OFI fund that is an
            open-end  investment  company,  where OFI serves as the investment
            sub-adviser  and for  whom the  Investment  Person  serves  in the
            capacity,  or performs the  functions,  that warrant him or her to
            be identified as an Investment Person.

      (d)   Transactions Exempt from these Prohibitions or Restrictions.

The following transactions by Investment Persons are exempt from the
prohibitions or restrictions of this Section 11:

            (i)   Purchases or sales of Securities made in a Personal  Account
            over  which  the  Investment  Person  has no  direct  or  indirect
            influence  or  control,  such as  Personal  Accounts  managed by a
            third party over which such  Investment  Person has no  investment
            discretion;

      Provided,  however,  that for purposes of this subsection 10(c)(i),  the
Investment Person claiming to have no direct or indirect  influence or control
over such a Personal Account,  must first provide a written explanation to the
Code  Administrator  describing the  circumstances of the Personal Account and
reasons why the  Investment  Person  believe he or she does not have direct or
indirect  influence or control  (i.e.,  no  investment  discretion)  over that
Personal Account and that he or she does not provide any investment  advice or
suggestions  with respect to the  Personal  Account.  The Code  Administrator,
however,  reserves  the  right  to  require  pre-approval  of such a  Personal
Account.  (Note:  Any  Personal  Account  covered  by the  provisions  of this
subsection  10(c)(i) remains subject to the reporting  requirements in Section
11.)

            (ii)  Purchases  or sales of shares of any  open-end OFI fund that
            the Investment  Person does not serve in the capacity,  or perform
            the  functions,  that  warrant him or her to be  identified  as an
            Investment Person;

            (iii) Purchases  or sales of shares of any non-OFI fund that is an
            open-end  investment  company for which  neither OFI serves as the
            investment  sub-adviser  nor the  Investment  Person serves in the
            capacity,  or performs the  functions,  that warrant him or her to
            be identified as an Investment Person;

            (iv)  Involuntary  purchases or sales of  Securities in a Personal
            Account,  such  as  Securities  received  pursuant  to a  dividend
            reinvestment plan or a stock split or through a gift or bequest;

            (v)   Purchases of  Securities  in a Personal  Account that result
            from the exercise of rights  acquired  from an issuer as part of a
            pro rata  distribution  to all holders of a class of Securities of
            such issuer and the sale of such rights; or

            (vi)  Transactions in any Security not otherwise prohibited or
            restricted by Section 10(a) or 10(b) or any other provision of
            this Code.

       (e)  Pre-Approval    Matters.    (i)   Investment    Persons    seeking
pre-approval  for the  acquisition of a Security in an Initial Public Offering
or a Private  Placement,  including an interest in a Private Fund, or the sale
of an interest in a Private  Fund,  must set forth in detail the rationale for
such transaction.

            (ii)  If an Investment  Person  obtains  pre-approval  pursuant to
this Section 10 for a  transaction  in a Security not then  currently  held by
any  Advisory  Client  for which that  Investment  Person  acts as  Investment
Person but,  thereafter,  a  transaction  in the same Security for an Advisory
Client  for  which  that  Investment  Person  acts  as  an  Investment  Person
subsequently  takes place within a period of 15 calendar  days  following  the
Investment Person's  transaction,  the Investment Person's  transaction may be
reviewed  further by the Code of Ethics  Oversight  Committee to determine the
appropriate  action,  if any. For example,  the Committee  may recommend  that
the  Investment  Person be subject to a price  adjustment to ensure that he or
she did not receive a better price than the Advisory Client

                 (iii)  Pre-approval  remains  in effect  until the end of the
next  business day on which such  pre-approval  is granted,  or until the next
immediately  available date for subscription in the case of a Private Fund, or
as otherwise  specified  by the Code  Administrator.  (See  Appendix C for the
various pre-approval forms.)

11.   Reporting Requirements

      (a)   Confirmations/Account Statements.   Each   Access   Person   shall

her  Personal  Account.  (See  Appendix C for a form of the  Report.) If there
were no such transactions, the report should so state.

            An  Access  Person  is  deemed  to be  in  compliance  with  these

      (d)   Initial and Annual  Reports.  All Access Persons shall,  within 10

Securities may be held do not have to be reported to the Code Administrator:

            (i)   Involuntary  purchases or sales of  Securities in a Personal

            maturity  at the date of  issuance  of less  than 366 days and are
            rated in one of the two highest rating  categories by a nationally
            recognized statistical rating organization; or

            (v)   Shares of any non-OFI  fund that is an  open-end  investment

            12.   Certifications

                                  APPENDIX A



                          STATEMENT OF POLICIES AND
                            PROCEDURES DESIGNED TO
                              DETECT AND PREVENT
                               INSIDER TRADING


 Tremont Statement of Policies and Proceudres Designed to Detect and Prevent
                               Insider Trading

      Insider-Trading.  During  the  course  of their  employment  at  Tremont
Partners,  advisory personnel may become exposed to certain types of "material
nonpublic  information."  Tremont Partners  prohibits any advisory person from
trading  securities,  either personally or on behalf of others,  based on such
material  nonpublic  information  that is  derived,  in whole  or in part,  by
reason of his or her employment  with Tremont  Partners unless the information
is  also  available  to the  investing  public  on  reasonable  inquiry.  This
conduct  is  generally  known  as  "insider  trading."  For  purposes  of this
Manual,  the term "material  nonpublic  information" is defined as information
not effectively  communicated to the  marketplace  that a reasonable  investor
would  consider  important  in making an  investment  decision  or that  would
substantially   affect  the  market   price  of  the   security  if  generally
disclosed.  It  shall be a  violation  of  Tremont  Partners'  policy  on this
matter for an  advisory  person to effect a  transaction  based upon  material
nonpublic information.

      Procedures.  In order to effectively  monitor advisory personnel trading
activity  and  instances  of  insider  trading,   Tremont  has  developed  the
following  procedures to be carried out by the Assistant  Compliance  Officer,
under the supervision of the Compliance Officer:

            Transaction Reporting.  All advisory personnel must identify any
personal investment accounts and report all reportable transactions and
investment activity, in which such personnel may have a direct or indirect
beneficial interest on a quarterly basis, within 10 days of the end of each
calendar quarter, to the Assistant Compliance Officer, or other designated
officer.  Under Advisers Act Rule 204-2 (a) (12) and (13), the firm is
required to maintain a record of every transaction in a security by advisory
personnel with the following information ("Personal Trading Information") to
be maintained in the record:

                    Title/Amount.  Title and amount of the security involved;
                    ------------

                    Date.  Date of the transaction;
                    ----

                    Nature.  Nature of the transaction (purchase or sale);
                    ------

                    Price.  Price at which the trade was effected; and
                    -----

                    Name of  Broker.  Name of the  broker-dealer  or bank that
                    ---------------
                    executed the transaction.

      Tremont  Partners  satisfies  its  obligations  under  Advisers Act Rule
204-2 (a) (12) by requiring  all of its advisory  personnel to arrange for the
delivery  to  Tremont  Partners  of  duplicate   monthly   brokerage   account
statements  covering the applicable time period and containing the information
described above.

            Review of Personal Trading Information.  The Assistant Compliance
Officer, or her designee, will review the Personal Trading Information of
personal securities transactions for compliance with the firm's policies,
regulatory requirements and the firm's fiduciary duty to its clients, among
other things.  Specifically, the Compliance Officer, with the assistance of
specially appointed designees, uses her best efforts to ascertain whether
there may exist a potential breach of our duty by matching the advisory
person's Personal Trading Information versus securities information that is
known to be available to such advisory person.  Suspected violations of the
firm's Code of Ethics in this regard will be documented by the Assistant
Compliance Officer and immediately reported to the Compliance Officer for any
further action as appropriate.  The Compliance Officer may, from time to
time, establish specific Personal Trading Information practices and
procedures associated with its advisory personnel tied to the day-to-day
responsibilities and activities of such personnel.

            Pre-clearance.  Where an advisory person is contemplating the
purchase or sale of an interest in a private placement vehicle, he or she is
required to obtain pre-clearance from the Compliance Officer.  Such
pre-clearance will involve the advisory person submitting a written form, a
sample of which is contained in the Code of Ethics, which contains the name
of the vehicle, the amount to be purchased or sold along with the date of the
transaction.  In determining whether or not to approve the transactions, the
Compliance Officer will, amongst other things, consider whether such a
transaction would be considered front-running ahead of a Tremont client.




                                   APPENDIX B

                              TREMONT GIFT POLICY


                              Tremont Gift Policy

      Background: Tremont  Partners  strives  to  maintain  a high  standard  of
business   ethics,   which  it  believes  are  consistent  with  good  corporate
citizenship.  To assure that these  standards are not being  violated,  the firm
requires  all advisory  personnel to perform  their jobs in an ethical and legal
fashion.  Due to the  numerous  relationships  advisory  personnel  have  forged
with clients and other  entities,  it is inevitable  that such personnel will be
offered  gifts or  gratuities  in the course of doing  business.  A conflict  of
interest  may exist if such gifts or  gratuities  are  intended to  influence an
advisory person's actions as employees of the firm.

      Policy:  In  order  to  strive  to  avoid  the  aforementioned   potential
conflicts  of  interest,  advisory  personnel  are  required  to  adhere  to the
following procedures:

            No  Solicitation.  Advisory  personnel  may not solicit any gifts or
gratuities  from third  parties while acting in their  respective  capacities as
representatives of the firm.

            Limitation  on  Acceptance  of  Gifts.  Gifts of  significant  value
(greater  than  $250)  or  gifts  of  an   extravagant   nature   (collectively,
"Significant  Gifts") are  generally  to be declined or returned in order not to
compromise  the  reputation  of the  advisory  person in  question  or the firm.
Significant  gifts  may  only be  retained  with  the  express  approval  of the
Compliance Officer  (collectively,  "Approved Gifts"). Upon receipt, such person
shall  immediately  provide the  Compliance  Officer with a  description  of the
gift  to be  considered  for  acceptance  as  well as to  allow  the  gift to be
recorded  on the Gift  Registry.  Any gift  intended  to  influence  an advisory
person's  actions or  otherwise  the  judgment  of a  representative  of Tremont
Partners,  which are  presented  to such person,  may not be retained  under any
circumstances  whatsoever  ("Prohibited  Gifts"). Any gift that is either (i) an
Approved Gift,  (ii) not of sufficient  value to constitute a Significant  Gift,
or (iii) is not  otherwise  a  Prohibited  Gift may be  referred  to herein as a
"Permitted Gift."

            Gift   Registry.   Upon  receipt  by  an  advisory   person  of  any
Permitted  Gift of $100.00 to $250.00 in value,  other than a Permitted  Gift in
the form of customary  meals or  entertainment,  such person  shall  immediately
provide the Assistant  Compliance  Officer with such  description of the gift as
she  may  require  in  order  to log  such  gift  in  the  Gift  Registry  to be
maintained  by  her.   Permitted  Gifts  in  the  form  of  customary  meals  or
entertainment  need not be  logged  in the Gift  Registry  and,  therefore,  the
details of which need not be provided to the Assistant Compliance Officer.

            Annual  Certification.   On  an  annual  basis  and  on  a  specific
schedule  established by the Compliance Officer,  all advisory personnel will be
required  to file with the  Assistant  Compliance  Officer a  certification,  in
such form as required by the Compliance  Officer,  attesting to their compliance
with the foregoing  policies and  procedures  concerning the acceptance of gifts
by Tremont Partners advisory personnel.



                                  APPENDIX C

            The forms referenced below that follow are to be used for

            I hereby certify to Tremont Partners, Inc. that, I have read and

        INITIAL AND ANNUAL REPORT OF PERSONAL ACCOUNT AND HOLDINGS FORM



         Each employee is required,  within 10 days of the commencement of
his or her  employment  by  Tremont  Capital  Management,  Inc.  ("Initial
Holdings"),  and at least annually  thereafter  ("Annual  Holdings") or on
such other date as may be established  ("Other") by the  Administrator  of
the Code of  Ethics  (the  "Code  Administrator"),  to  provide  a written
report  to the Code  Administrator  of such  Employee's  Personal  Account
holdings  information.  The information in any such report must be as of a
date no more than 45 days before the date the report is submitted.

       The term,  "Personal  Account"  is defined in the Code of Ethics as
any account owned by, or which a beneficial  interest is owned in the name
of, an  employee,  or any account in which an  employee  has any direct or
indirect  beneficial  interest.  The  Code of  Ethics  goes  on to  define
"beneficial  interest" as any interest by which an "Access Person," or any
family  member  living  in the same  household  as an Access  Person,  can
directly or indirectly  derive a monetary benefit from the purchase,  sale
or  ownership  of a  Security.  For  purposes of this  definition  and the
Code, "family member" shall include: grandparents,  parents, mother-in-law
or father-in-law;  husband,  wife or domestic partner (whether  registered
or unregistered under applicable law);  brother,  sister,  brother-in-law,
sister-in-law,  son-in-law or  daughter-in-law;  children  (including step
and adoptive  relationships);  and grandchildren.  In a situation in which
the  status of a "family  member" is in  question,  such  person  shall be
presumed  to be a "family  member" for  purposes  of this Code.  It is the
employee's burden to affirmatively  prove to the Code  Administrator  that
the other person at issue is not a "family member" within this definition.


                 This form is being submitted to report:
