                                  Introduction

As an investment adviser,  GMO is a fiduciary with respect to the assets managed
on behalf of its various clients. As a fiduciary, GMO owes a duty to its clients
to at all times act in the  clients'  best  interest.  This Code of Ethics  (the
"Code") is based on the principle that GMO's  officers,  employees,  and certain
other  related  persons  have a fiduciary  duty to place the  interests of GMO's
clients  ahead of their own.  The Code applies to all Access  Persons(1)  and is
intended to promote:

|X|  honest and ethical  conduct,  including  the ethical  handling of actual or
     apparent   conflicts  of  interest   between   personal  and   professional
     relationships;

|X|  full, fair, accurate,  timely and understandable  disclosure in reports and
     documents that a registrant files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other
     public communications made by the Trust;

|X|  compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;

|X|  the prompt  internal  reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate
     person or persons identified in the Code; and

|X|  accountability for adherence to the Code.

The Code  consists  of  three  principal  components.  "Part  I:  Fiduciary  and
Professional  Standards" focuses principally on the professional conduct that is
expected of all Access Persons.  "Part II: Personal Trading Policies" focuses on
specific  pre-clearance  and  reporting  obligations  with  respect to  personal
transactions  in securities.  Lastly,  "Part III:  Compliance  with this Code of
Ethics" discusses certain procedural aspects of how the Code is implemented.


--------------------------
(1) Capitalized words are defined in Appendix 1.


                  Part I: Fiduciary and Professional Standards

As mentioned, GMO is a fiduciary with respect to the assets managed on behalf of
its various clients,  and, as a result,  Access Persons have a fiduciary duty to
place the interests of GMO's clients ahead of their own. This fiduciary duty may
be  compromised  by potential  conflicts  of interest  with respect to an Access
Person.  Whenever a potential conflict arises, the Access Person must report the
conflict to GMO's Chief  Compliance  Officer.  This Part I sets forth the proper
standards and procedures for  evaluating  and reporting  potential  conflicts of
interest.

A  "conflict  of  interest"  occurs  when an Access  Person's  private  interest
interferes  with the interests  of, or that  person's  service to, GMO Funds and
Accounts.  For example,  a conflict of interest would arise if an Access Person,
or a member of his family,  receives  improper  personal benefits as a result of
that person's position at GMO.

Although  typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit,
conflicts arise from, or are a result of, the contractual  relationship  between
GMO Funds and Accounts and GMO. As a result,  this Code  recognizes  that Access
Persons may, in the normal course of their duties,  be involved in  establishing
policies and implementing  decisions that will have different effects on GMO and
a GMO Fund or Account. Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even
if such  conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions  in the  Investment
Company Act and the Investment  Advisers Act. In reading the following  examples
of conflicts of interest under the Code, Access Persons should keep in mind that
such a list cannot ever be exhaustive by covering  every possible  scenario.  It
follows that the overarching principle - that the personal interest of an Access
Person  should  not be placed  improperly  before the  interest  of GMO Funds or
Accounts - should be the guiding principle in all circumstances.

A.   Conflicts of Interest - Standards

     Each Access Person must:

     |X|  not use personal  influence or personal  relationships  improperly  to
          influence investment decisions or financial reporting by a GMO Fund or
          Account  whereby the Access  Person would  benefit  personally  to the
          detriment of the GMO Fund or Account;

     |X|  not  cause a GMO  Fund or  Account  to  take  action,  or fail to take
          action,  for the  individual  personal  benefit of the  Access  Person
          rather than for the benefit of the GMO Fund or Account;

     |X|  not use material non-public  knowledge of portfolio  transactions made
          or  contemplated  for a GMO Fund or  Account to profit  personally  or
          cause others to profit, by the market effect of such transactions;

     |X|  not  retaliate  against any  employee or Access  Person for reports of
          potential violations of law that are made in good faith.

     There are some  conflict  of  interest  situations  that  should  always be
     discussed with the Chief Compliance Officer if material.  Examples of these
     include:

     |X|  any outside  business  activity  that  detracts  from an  individual's
          ability   to   devote   appropriate   time   and   attention   to  his
          responsibilities;

     |X|  service as a director  on the board (or  equivalent  position)  of any
          public company;

     |X|  service as a director  or  otherwise  for any  foundation,  charity or
          other  institution  such that the  Access  Person  may  influence  the
          selection or consideration of GMO as an investment adviser;

     |X|  the  providing  of  any  financial,  political  or  other  support  or
          existence of any other relationship with any person connected with the
          account of any public pension fund client of GMO;

     |X|  the  receipt  of any  non-nominal  gifts or  entertainment  (see Gifts
          policy below);

     |X|  any   ownership   interest  in,  or  any   consulting   or  employment
          relationship with, any of GMO's or a GMO Fund's service providers;

     |X|  a direct or indirect  financial  interest in commissions,  transaction
          charges  or  spreads  paid by a GMO  Fund  or  Account  for  effecting
          portfolio  transactions or for selling or redeeming  shares other than
          an  interest  arising  from the Access  Person's  employment,  such as
          compensation or equity ownership.

B.   Gifts

     On  occasion,  because  of their  affiliation  with the Funds or  Accounts,
     Access Persons may be offered,  or may receive without  notice,  gifts from
     clients,  brokers,  vendors,  or other persons not affiliated  with any GMO
     Entity. Due to the potential conflicts of interest, no gifts of substantial
     value may be  accepted.  In cases where a GMO  employee  or her  supervisor
     believe that  attendance of certain events will be beneficial to GMO and/or
     its clients interests, the employee should request that GMO consider paying
     for the cost of the  employee's  attendance  rather than  accepting it as a
     gift. If this is not possible or practicable  (e.g. if the cost  applicable
     to GMO cannot be ascertained),  the employee may participate  provided that
     such  participation  is  approved  by her  supervisor,  and the  supervisor
     reports the receipt of the  invitation.  Non-GMO  employee  Access  Persons
     should discuss any potential conflicts with the Chief Compliance Officer.

     Examples of gifts of greater than nominal value that may not be accepted:

     |X|  Golf
     |X|  Tours, Cruises or Tourist Events
     |X|  Sporting Events
     |X|  Arts/Cultural Events
     |X|  Services
     |X|  Parties
     |X|  Conference Fees
     |X|  Travel Expenses

     The  following  exceptions  are made to this policy and may be accepted and
     need not be reported, except as indicated:

     |X|  Working lunch/dinner  without  entertainment if reasonable in relation
          to the circumstances.
     |X|  Gifts  of  nominal   value  (i.e.   less  than   $100),   particularly
          holiday-related,  that are consumed or enjoyed within GMO by and among
          GMO employees (i.e. not enjoyed solely by an individual).
     |X|  Lunch or dinner with entertainment  provided by a GMO service provider
          where other clients of the service provider are also present, provided
          that the  attendance of events of this nature is reported to the Chief
          Compliance Officer.

     Gifts Register
     All gifts,  except for the  exceptions  noted above,  must be recorded on a
     register maintained by the Compliance Department.

C.   Disclosure

     |X|  Each Access Person must be familiar with the  disclosure  requirements
          applicable  to  the  GMO  Funds,  including  disclosure  controls  and
          procedures; and
     |X|  Each Access Person must not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to
          misrepresent,  facts about GMO Funds or Accounts to others,  including
          to the Trustees  and  auditors,  and to  governmental  regulators  and
          self-regulatory organizations.

D.   Confidentiality

     Access Persons are prohibited  from revealing  information  relating to the
     investment intentions,  activities or portfolios of the Funds and Accounts,
     except  to  persons  whose  responsibilities   require  knowledge  of  such
     information.

E.   Reporting and Accountability

     Each  Access  Person  will  be  provided  with a copy of the  Code  and any
     amendments to the Code.  Each Access  Person must affirm in writing  (which
     may be by electronic means) that the Access Person has received,  read, and
     understands the Code and any amendments to the Code.

     An Access  Person must  notify the Chief  Compliance  Officer of  Grantham,
     Mayo,  Van  Otterloo & Co. LLC  promptly if the Access  Person knows of any
     violation  of this  Code.  Failure to do so is itself a  violation  of this
     Code.


     With respect to Fiduciary and  Professional  Standards,  each Access Person
     must:

     |X|  annually   affirm  that  the  Access  Person  has  complied  with  the
          requirements of the Code;

     |X|  report at least annually affiliations and potential conflicts;

     |X|  report any known or apparent onflict with an Access Person's fiduciary
          obligations,  including their own, to the Chief Compliance  Officer of
          Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC;

     The Chief Compliance Officer must:

     |X|  complete  questionnaires  developed by the  Compliance  Department  to
          solicit disclosure of potential conflicts and related issues;

     |X|  provide   additional   information  as  requested  by  the  Compliance
          Department.

     The Conflicts of Interest  Committee,  which is an instrumentality of GMO's
     Board,  is  responsible  for applying  this Code to specific  situations in
     which  questions are presented  under it and has the authority to interpret
     this Code in any  particular  situation.  As of the date of this Code,  the
     Conflicts of Interest Committee consists of Scott Eston, John Rosenblum and
     Bill Royer.

     Procedures to be followed in investigating and enforcing this Code:

     |X|  the  Compliance   Department  will  take  all  appropriate  action  to
          investigate any violations and potential  violations reported to it or
          the Chief  Compliance  Officer of Grantham,  Mayo,  Van Otterloo & Co.
          LLC;

     |X|  the Compliance  Department  will report such findings to the Conflicts
          of Interest Committee;

     |X|  the Conflicts of Interest Committee will consider  appropriate action,
          such as granting waivers, as appropriate, and which may include review
          of,  and  appropriate   modifications  to,  applicable   policies  and
          procedures; notification to appropriate personnel of GMO or its board;
          or recommending dismissal of the Access Person;

     |X|  the Compliance  Department  will report all findings and actions taken
          by the  Conflicts of Interest  Committee to the Trustees of GMO Trust;
          and

     |X|  any changes to or waivers of this Code will,  to the extent  required,
          be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.

F.   Compliance with the Federal Securities Laws

     More  generally,  Access  Persons are  required  to comply with  applicable
     federal  securities  laws at all  times.  Examples  of  applicable  federal
     securities laws include:

     |X|  the Securities  Act of 1933, the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, the
          Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the SEC rules thereunder;

     |X|  the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and the SEC rules thereunder;

     |X|  the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the SEC rules thereunder;

     |X|  title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (privacy and security of
          client non-public information); and

     |X|  the Bank  Secrecy  Act, as it applies to mutual  funds and  investment
          advisers, and the SEC and Department of the Treasury rules thereunder.





                       Part II: Personal Trading Policies

A.   Introduction

     1.   Fiduciary Duty.

          As fiduciaries, Access Persons must at all times:

          a.   Place the interests of the GMO Funds and Accounts first.

               Access Persons must scrupulously avoid serving their own personal
               interests ahead of the interests of the GMO Funds and Accounts in
               any decision  relating to their personal  investments.  An Access
               Person may not induce or cause a Fund to take  action,  or not to
               take action, for personal benefit, rather than for the benefit of
               the Fund. Nor may any Access Persons otherwise exploit the client
               relationship  for personal gain.  For the avoidance of doubt,  an
               Access  Person may not engage in  short-term  trading  strategies
               (i.e.  market  timing)  for their own  account (or any account in
               which the Access  Person has a  Beneficial  Interest)  in any GMO
               Fund or Account,  as such activity  would  constitute a breach of
               their fiduciary duty to the Fund.

          b.   Conduct all personal Securities Transactions consistent with this
               Code including both the pre-clearance and reporting requirements.

               Doubtful  situations should be resolved in favor of the GMO Funds
               and Accounts.  Technical  compliance  with the Code's  procedures
               will not  automatically  insulate  from  scrutiny any trades that
               indicate an abuse of fiduciary duties.

          c.   Avoid taking inappropriate advantage of their positions.

               Access Persons must not only seek to achieve technical compliance
               with the Code but  should  strive to abide by its  spirit and the
               principles articulated herein.

     2.   Appendices to the Code.

          The  appendices  to this  Code are  attached  to and are a part of the
          Code. The appendices include the following:

          a.   Definitions  (capitalized  terms  in  the  Code  are  defined  in
               Appendix 1);

          b.   Master   Personal   Trading   Policies  and  Procedures  and  the
               appendices thereto (Appendix 2);

          c.   Quick Reference Guide to  Pre-Clearance  and Quarterly  Reporting
               (Appendix A to Appendix 2);

          d.   Quarterly Transaction Report (Appendix B to Appendix 2);

          e.   Contact Persons  including the Chief  Compliance  Officer and the
               Conflicts of Interest  Committee,  if different than as initially
               designated herein (Appendix C to Appendix 2);

          f.   Annual Holdings Report (Appendix D to Appendix 2);

          g.   Beneficial Ownership Report (Appendix E to Appendix 2);

          h.   File a PTAF (Appendix F to Appendix 2);

          i.   Annual Certificate of Compliance (Appendix G to Appendix 2);

          j.   Form Letter to Broker,  Dealer or Bank ("407" Letter) (Appendix H
               to Appendix 2); and

          k.   List of GMO Sub-Advised Funds (Appendix I to Appendix 2).


B.   Personal Securities Transactions

     1.   Pre-Clearance Requirements for Access Persons.

          a.   General Requirement.

               All Securities  Transactions  by Access Persons for an account in
               which the Access Person has a Beneficial  Interest (other than by
               any  trustee  of GMO Trust who is not an  "interested  person" as
               defined in the  Investment  Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") of a

                         applies to the  purchase of an option on such  security
                         (i.e.  options on U.S.  Government  securities would be
                         exempt from pre-clearance and reporting).

                    o    The  exercise  of  a  purchased  option  must  also  be
                         pre-cleared   and   reported,   unless  the  option  is
                         expiring.

                    o    Any  offsetting   transaction  or  transaction  in  the

                         reported.

               (d)  Writing Options:

                         subject to  pre-clearance  and/or  reporting,  the same
                         applies to the practice of writing of an option on such
                         security.

                    o    The  exercise of a written  option (by the other party)

               iii. Application to Limit Orders

                    Limit  orders  will be subject  to an initial  pre-clearance
                    upon   establishment.   Once  approved,   subsequent  trades
                    resulting  from the  limit  order  need not be  pre-cleared.
                    Compliance will require an attestation  from the broker upon
                    the creation of the limit order stating that the broker will
                    act  solely  within  that  limit  order,  with no  influence
                    exercised or  information  supplied by the Access  Person or
                    anyone else acting on his or her behalf.  Any future changes
                    to  existing   limit   orders  must  be   pre-cleared.   All
                    transactions are subject to reporting.

          d.   Reporting Requirements

                    information  current  as of a date  not  more  than  30 days
                    before the report is submitted), each Access Person (subject
                    to  sub-section  (iv) below)  must report to the  Compliance
                    Department all of the  information set forth in Section 1 of
                    the Procedures.

                    the  Procedures  occurring  during  that past  quarter.  The
                    procedures  to be followed in making  quarterly  reports are
                    set forth in Section 7 of the Procedures.

               iii. Brokerage Statements.

                    Each  Access   Person  must   disclose  to  the   Compliance
                    Department  all  of  his  or  her  brokerage   accounts  and
                    relationships  and must  require  such brokers to forward to
                    the Compliance Department copies of confirmations of account
                    transactions.

               iv.  Exemption for Certain Trustees.

                    The reporting requirements in the three preceding paragraphs
                    shall  not apply to any  trustee  of GMO Trust who is not an
                    "interested  person"  (as  defined in the 1940 Act) of a GMO
                    Fund.  However,  if such  trustee  knew or, in the  ordinary
                    course of fulfilling his or her official duties as a trustee
                    of GMO  Trust,  should  have  known  that  during the 15-day

                    in a Covered Security,  a GMO Trust mutual fund purchased or
                    sold the Covered Security, or a GMO Trust mutual fund or its
                    investment  adviser  considered  purchasing  or selling  the
                    Covered  Security,  such  trustee  shall  notify  the  Chief
                    Compliance  Officer and file a quarterly  transaction report
                    as required by the Chief Compliance Officer.

               v.   Review of Reports.

                    The Chief Compliance  Officer shall review and maintain each
                    Access Person's  reports filed pursuant to Parts  II.B.2.d.i
                    and .ii of this Code and brokerage statements filed pursuant
                    to Part II.B.2.d.iii of this Code.

               vi.  Availability of Reports.

                    All  information   supplied   pursuant  to  this  Code  will
                    generally be maintained in a secure and confidential manner,
                    but may be made available  (without notice to Access Person)
                    for  inspection  to the  directors,  trustees or  equivalent
                    persons of each GMO Entity employing the Access Person,  the
                    Board  of  Trustees  of each  GMO  Fund,  the  Conflicts  of
                    Interest  Committee,  the Compliance  Department,  the Chief
                    Compliance  Officer,  the Access Person's department manager
                    (or  designee),  any  party to which  any  investigation  is
                    referred  by  any of  the  foregoing,  the  SEC,  any  state
                    securities  commission,  and any  attorney  or  agent of the
                    foregoing or of the GMO Funds.





                  Part III: Compliance with this Code of Ethics

A.   Conflicts of Interest Committee

     1.   Membership, Voting and Quorum.

          As of the date of this  Code,  the  Conflicts  of  Interest  Committee
          consists  of Scott  Eston,  John  Rosenblum  and Gregory  Pottle.  The
          Conflicts of Interest  Committee  shall vote by majority vote with two
          members serving as a quorum.  Vacancies may be filled and, in the case
          of extended absences or periods of  unavailability,  alternates may be
          selected,  by  a  majority  vote  of  the  remaining  members  of  the
          Committee.

     2.   Investigating Violations of the Code.

          The  Compliance   Department  is  responsible  for  investigating  any
          suspected  violation  of the Code and shall report the results of each
          investigation to the Conflicts of Interest Committee. The Conflicts of
          Interest  Committee is  responsible  for  reviewing the results of any
          investigation of any reported or suspected  violation of the Code. Any
          violation  of the Code will be  reported  to the Boards of Trustees of
          the GMO Funds no less frequently than each quarterly meeting.

     3.   Annual Reports.

          The Conflicts of Interest Committee will review the Code at least once
          a year, in light of legal and business  developments and experience in
          implementing  the Code, and will provide a written report to the Board
          of Trustees of each GMO Fund:

          a.   Summarizing existing procedures concerning personal investing and
               any changes in the procedures made during the past year;

          b.   Identifying material issues under this Code since the last report
               to the Board of  Trustees  of the GMO Funds,  including,  but not
               limited  to, any  material  violations  of the Code or  sanctions
               imposed  in  response  to  material   violations  or  pattern  of
               non-material violation or sanctions;

          c.   Identifying any recommended  changes in existing  restrictions or
               procedures  based on its  experience  under  the  Code,  evolving
               industry  practices,   or  developments  in  applicable  laws  or
               regulations; and

          d.   Certifying  to the Boards of  Trustees  of the GMO Funds that the
               applicable  GMO  Entities  have  adopted  procedures   reasonably
               necessary to prevent Access Persons from violating the Code.

     4.   Review of Denied Trades.

          The process and standards for Conflicts of Interest  Committee  review
          of  denied  trades is set forth in  Section  3 of the  Procedures  and
          Appendix A thereto.

B.   Remedies

     1.   Sanctions.

          If the  Conflicts  of  Interest  Committee  determines  that an Access
          Person  has  committed  a  violation  of the Code,  the  Conflicts  of
          Interest  Committee may impose  sanctions and take other actions as it
          deems   appropriate,   including  a  letter  of  caution  or  warning,
          suspension of personal trading rights,  suspension of employment (with
          or without  compensation),  fine, civil referral to the SEC,  criminal
          referral, and termination of the employment of the violator for cause.
          The Conflicts of Interest Committee also may require the Access Person
          to reverse the  trade(s) in question  and forfeit any profit or absorb
          any loss derived therefrom.  In such cases, the amount of profit shall
          be  calculated  by the  Conflicts of Interest  Committee  and shall be
          forwarded to a charitable  organization  selected by the  Conflicts of
          Interest  Committee.  No member of the Conflicts of Interest Committee
          may review his or her own transaction.

          Additionally,  the Conflicts of Interest  Committee  will  institute a
          monetary  penalty for recurring  non-material  violations of the Code.
          Specifically,  Access  Persons who violate any  provisions of the Code
          for more than two quarters in any 12-month period will be subject to a
          $100  penalty.  To the extent  that the  violation  indicates  serious
          misconduct, more serious sanctions may be imposed.

     2.   Review.

          Whenever the Conflicts of Interest Committee determines that an Access
          Person has  committed  a violation  of this Code that merits  remedial
          action, it will report no less frequently than quarterly to the Boards
          of Trustees of the applicable GMO Funds,  information  relating to the
          investigation of the violation,  including any sanctions imposed.  The
          Boards of Trustees of the GMO Funds may modify such  sanctions as they
          deem  appropriate.  Such Boards  shall have access to all  information
          considered by the  Conflicts of Interest  Committee in relation to the
          case. The Conflicts of Interest Committee may determine whether or not
          to  delay  the  imposition  of any  sanctions  pending  review  by the
          applicable Board of Trustees.

     3.   Review of Pre-Clearance Decisions.

          Upon written  request by any Access Person,  the Conflicts of Interest
          Committee  may  review,  and, if  applicable,  reverse any request for
          pre-clearance denied by the Compliance Department (or a designee).

C.   Exceptions to the Code

     Although  exceptions  to the Code will  rarely,  if ever,  be granted,  the
     Compliance  Department may grant exceptions to the requirements of the Code
     on a case by  case  basis  if the  Compliance  Department  finds  that  the
     proposed  conduct  involves  negligible  opportunity  for  abuse.  All such
     exceptions  must be in  writing  and  must be  reported  by the  Compliance
     Department as soon as  practicable  to the Conflicts of Interest  Committee
     and to the  Boards of  Trustees  of the GMO Funds at their  next  regularly
     scheduled meeting after the exception is granted.

D.   Compliance Certification

     At least once a year,  all Access  Persons will be required to certify that
     they have read, understand and complied with the Code and the Procedures.

E.   Inquiries Regarding the Code

     The Compliance  Department  will answer any questions  about this Code, the
     Procedures or any other compliance-related matters.

F.   Boards of Trustees Approvals

     1.   Approval of Code.

          The Boards of Trustees  of the GMO Funds,  including a majority of the
          Trustees who are not  "interested  persons"  under the 1940 Act,  must
          approve  the Code  based upon a  determination  that it  contains  the
          provisions   reasonably  necessary  to  prevent  Access  Persons  from
          engaging in conduct prohibited by Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act.

     2.   Amendments to Code.

          The Boards of Trustees  of the GMO Funds,  including a majority of the
          Trustees who are not  "interested  persons"  under the 1940 Act,  must
          approve any material  amendment to the Code or the  Procedures  within
          six months of such change.

     certification  letter  from  the  third  party  manager  stating  that  the
     individual  in question  has not  influenced  the  discretionary  manager's
     decisions during the period in question.

     index  mutual  fund,  ETFs differ from mutual  funds in  significant  ways.

     the possible conflicts of interest or appearances of impropriety which this

                               Dated April 1, 2005

The Investment  Company Act of 1940 provides that every investment  adviser must
adopt a written Code of Ethics  containing  provisions  reasonably  necessary to
prevent persons with access to knowledge of any client  activities from engaging
in trading that is fraudulent or manipulative.  Further, investment advisers are
obligated to use  reasonable  diligence and to institute  procedures  reasonably
necessary  to  prevent  violations  of  the  Code.  Fraudulent  or  manipulative
practices  are defined very  broadly,  but over time the SEC's focus has been on
four concerns: 1) front running, 2) usurping client opportunities,  3) profiting
or taking  advantage of  opportunities  that are presented solely as a result of
the adviser's  business for clients,  and 4) market timing and other  short-term
trading strategies in advised mutual funds that are detrimental to the interests
of long term investors.  These Policies and Procedures are intended to summarize
in readily  understandable  form and  implement  the personal  trading  policies
established by the Code.  Persons subject to the provisions of the Code are also
required to read the Code and  certify to the same.  It should be noted that the
Code  contains  certain  other  provisions  with respect to standards of ethical
conduct in addition to those specifically relating to personal trading.

Fraudulent  or  deceptive  trading (as so defined)  is  unlawful  regardless  of
whether a client can demonstrate  harm.  Further,  GMO can be sanctioned for not
having  sufficient  procedures,  even if no violations occur.  Therefore,  it is
important  that these  procedures be taken  seriously.  Failure to adhere to the
procedures will result in disciplinary sanction.

1.   What is subject to disclosure upon commencement of employment and annually?

     o    Covered Accounts: Identification of all persons, entities and accounts
          which  you,  your  spouse or minor  children  own,  or over  which you
          exercise control or substantially  influence  investment decisions and
          have a Beneficial Interest ("Covered Accounts").

     o    Discretionary Advisors: The name(s) of any discretionary advisors that
          manage Covered Accounts on your behalf.

     o    Brokerage  Relationships:  Identification and contact  information for
          all brokerage and other  investment  transaction  accounts used by any
          Covered Account.

     o    Corporate or other Directorships/Officers Positions: You must disclose
          all corporate or other directorships or officer positions held by you.

     o    Holdings:  Any  ownership of covered  securities,  including  open-end
          mutual funds sub-advised by GMO.

     Note: See Annual Holdings Report and Beneficial Ownership Report

2.   Who and What is subject to Pre-Clearance and Reporting?

     o    Purchasing,    selling   or   writing    securities    (domestic   and
          international),  financial commodities or other investment instruments
          of any kind that are traded in any public or  private  market  must be
          pre-cleared and reported, unless specifically exempted below.

     o    All members,  employees and on-site  consultants of GMO, GMO Australia
          Ltd., GMO Australasia  LLC, GMO U.K. Ltd., GMO Singapore PTE Ltd., GMO
          Switzerland GmbH, GMO Woolley Ltd. and Renewable Resources LLC and all
          other persons  meeting the definition of "Access  Persons" in the Code
          are subject to those rules.  Any  questions  in this regard  should be
          immediately directed to the Compliance Department. The term "employee"
          is used herein to refer to all persons described in this paragraph.

     o    Any  account  owned  by  an  employee,  employee's  spouse  and  minor
          children,  and any other  account for which an employee  controls,  or
          substantially    influences   the   investment   decisions   ("Covered
          Accounts").

     o    Discretionary  Accounts (when an employee has hired another adviser to
          manage any Covered Account on a discretionary  basis) are also subject
          to  pre-clearance  reporting  unless  the  Compliance  Department  has
          approved other arrangements in advance.

     o    Any trustee of GMO Trust who is not an "interested person" (as defined
          in the 1940 Act) of a GMO Fund is generally  not subject to the Code's
          preclearance   and   reporting    requirements.    Please   see   Part
          II(B)(2)(d)(iv) for additional details.

     o    Private  placements  (including  private  placements of any GMO pooled
          vehicle  (including  private  placements of any GMO Trust fund) or GMO
          Hedge Fund) are subject to pre-clearance and reporting.


3.   What is the process for review of denied trades?

     Conflicts  of  Interest  Committee.  A  Conflicts  of  Interest  Committee,
     composed  of Scott  Eston,  John  Rosenblum  and Gregory  Pottle,  has been
     established  to examine  situations  where an  employee  would like to seek
     exception to pre-clearance  denial. The Conflicts of Interest Committee has
     the power to override pre-clearance denials if, in its absolute discretion,
     it believes the proposed  activity is in no way fraudulent or manipulative.
     Any employee who would like to bring a request before this Committee should
     submit a request to the StarCompliance mailbox.

4.   What is Exempt from Pre-Clearance and Reporting?

     o    Open-end mutual funds (excluding Reportable Funds)
     o    Money market-like instruments
     o    Commercial  paper and high  quality  short-term  debt  instruments(4),
          including repurchase agreements
     o    U.S. Government Securities or futures thereon
     o    Trading in spot currencies
     o    Currency Forward Contracts
     o    Futures on interest rates
     o    Commodities  and options on  commodities  (Note:  financial  commodity
          contracts are subject to pre-clearance and reporting)
     o    Certain Corporate Actions (see Section II(c)(1)(a))
     o    Exercise of Rights Offerings
     o    Dividend Investment Programs
     o    Miscellaneous (see Section II(c)(1)(b))


--------------------------
(4) High quality  short-term  debt  instrument  means any instrument  that has a
maturity  at  issuance of less than 366 days and that is rated in one of the two
highest  rating  categories  by  a  Nationally  Recognized   Statistical  Rating
Organization.


5.   What is Exempt from Pre-Clearance but Subject to Reporting?

     o    Charity/Gifts.  The  practice  of  donating  securities  to charity is
          subject  to  quarterly   transaction  reporting  and  annual  holdings
          disclosure.

     o    Futures  and Related  Options on  commercially  available  broad based
          indexes.

     o    Futures on Bonds and Commodities

     o    Municipal Bonds

     o    Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DIA)

     o    Certain  Exchange  Traded  Funds  (ETFs),  including  NASDAQ 100 Index
          Shares  (QQQ),  Barclays  iShares,  HOLDRs  Trusts and S&P  Depository
          Receipts  (SPY).  Contact  Compliance  concerning  ETFs not  addressed
          herein.

     o    Reportable Funds

     o    GMO Sub-Advised Funds

     o    Any  discretionary  accounts  (i)  that  have  been  approved  by  the
          Compliance  Department  in  advance,  and  (ii)  for  which  employees
          arranged for quarterly  certification  from outsider  manager  stating
          that the  individual  (employee/spouse  and/or minor  children/account
          which  employee   controls)  has  not  influenced  the   discretionary
          manager's decisions during the period in question.

     o    Exemption  for De  Minimus  Purchases  and Sales of Large  Market  Cap
          Stocks by non-Investment  Personnel (does not include IPOs): Purchases
          or sales by Access  Persons who are not portfolio  managers or trading
          staff of less than  $25,000 of common  stock of issuers  whose  market
          capitalization  is  greater  than $5  billion  as of the  date of such
          purchases  or sales  provided  that the Access  Person is not aware of
          pending  transactions  by a GMO Fund or Account  with  respect to such
          stock.  If an employee  has any  question as to whether a  transaction
          qualifies for this  exemption,  the question should be directed to the
          Compliance Department. For trades that qualify for this exemption from
          pre-clearance,  you will be asked to report the market  capitalization
          of the security and the source of such  information  on your quarterly
          transaction  report.  You may utilize this exemption once per security
          within multiple accounts during a pre-clearance  period so long as the
          total across all accounts is less than  $25,000.  That is, if you have
          determined that your transaction qualifies for this exemption, you may
          engage in that  transaction  once  during the  five-day  pre-clearance
          window.

6.   How to Request Pre-Clearance

     A Quick  Reference  Guide to the  procedures  is set forth in  Appendix  A.
     Employees  must  send  all  trade  requests  via  the  File a PTAF  link at
     http://gmo.starcompliance.com.  GMO Compliance strongly recommends that you
     input ALL trades for approval,  regardless of exemption  status.  This will
     shift the responsibility of interpreting the code to the system rather than
     the  access  person.  Based on the  trade  requests  that you  input,  your
     quarterly  transaction  and  annual  holdings  reports  will  automatically
     populate.  If you  submit  all  trades  for  pre-clearance  (regardless  of
     pre-clearance subjectivity), your form will be completed by the system.

     Generally,  requests  to buy or sell a  security  will be denied if any GMO
     client or product (a) has purchased or sold that security within 3 calendar
     days prior to the date of the request or (b) is  considering  the  security
     for purchase or sale within 15 days after the date of the request. Requests
     to sell a security  short will be denied for the same  reasons  and also if
     the security is owned by any of GMO's Active Portfolios.

     For private  placements,  pre-approval  can be requested by  submitting  an
     e-mail  to  Compliance  which  sets  forth  the  details  of the  offering.
     Compliance will ensure that the information is reviewed by the Conflicts of
     Interest  Committee  in order to arrive at a  decision.  The  Committee  or
     Compliance  may  request   further   information  in  connection  with  the
     consideration.  An  Access  Person  shall not  engage  in any  transactions
     regarding  the  subject  security  during  the time that the  Committee  is
     considering  whether to approve the matter.  Access Persons should allow at
     least several days for this pre-approval process.

7.   Quarterly Reporting

     All members,  employees  and on-site  consultants  will receive an email at
     each quarter-end with a link to the Quarterly  Transaction  Report on which
     they are required to report all trades effected  during the quarter.  Forms
     are to be submitted  within 10 calendar days of quarter-end.  Employees who
     do not have any trading  activity to report for the given quarter are still
     required to submit the report indicating such.

     See  Appendix  A "Quick  Reference  Guide to  Pre-Clearance  and  Quarterly
     Reporting" and Appendix B "Quarterly Transaction Report".

8.   Special Rules for Certain Investment Practices

     o    Initial Public Offerings - Prohibited unless Chief Compliance  Officer
          determines,  based  upon  information  provided  with a  pre-clearance
          request,  that an offering is accessible to general  investing public.
          Determination of public  accessibility  qualifies for the Conflicts of
          Interest Committee.

     o    Private  Placements/Private  Pooled  Vehicles/Non-GMO  Hedge  Funds  -
          Permitted  subject  to  pre-approval  by  the  Conflicts  of  Interest
          Committee.

     o    Options on Securities
               Purchasing Options:
               o If the purchase or sale of the  underlying  security is subject
               to  pre-clearance  and/or  reporting,  the  same  applies  to the
               purchase  of an option on such  security  (i.e.  options  on U.S.
               Government  securities  would be exempt  from  pre-clearance  and
               reporting).

               o The exercise of a purchased option must also be pre-cleared and
               reported, unless the option is expiring.

               o Any  offsetting  transaction  or  transaction in the underlying
               security must be separately pre-cleared and reported.

               Writing Options:
               o If the purchase or sale of the  underlying  security is subject
               to  pre-clearance  and/or  reporting,  the  same  applies  to the
               practice of writing of an option on such security.

               o The exercise of a written  option (by the other party) need not
               be pre-cleared or reported.

               o Any  offsetting  transaction  or  transaction in the underlying
               security must be separately pre-cleared and reported.

          The  following  transactions  with  respect to options  implicate  the

-----------------------------
(5)  Portion of the profits  that were locked in as a result of the  transaction
will be forfeited.


     o    Short-Term  Profiting - All employees are  prohibited  from  profiting
          from  the  purchase  and  sale or sale  and  purchase  of the  same or
          equivalent  securities within 60 calendar days. If an employee engages
          in this practice,  any profits earned shall be surrendered to charity,
          to be approved by the Conflicts of Interest  Committee.  The following
          securities are not subject to this prohibition:

               o    Mutual  Funds  (excluding  GMO  Funds  which  are  discussed
                    below);

               o    U.S. Government Securities;

               o    Money Market Instruments;

               o    Currencies and Forward Contracts thereon;

               o    Commodities   and   options   and   futures   on  bonds  and
                    commodities;

               o    Securities acquire through the exercise of Rights Offerings;

               o    Municipal Bonds; and

               o    Certain  ETFs,  including  NASDAQ  100 Index  Shares  (QQQ),
                    Barclays iShares,  HOLDRs Trusts and S&P Depository Receipts
                    (SPY)  (Contact  Compliance  concerning  ETFs not  addressed
                    herein).

     o    Short Selling of Securities - All  employees are  prohibited  from the
          practice  of  short  selling   securities  that  are  held  in  Active
          Portfolios   (International  Active,   Domestic  Active  and  Emerging
          Markets). This prohibition does not extend to the activity of shorting
          futures that are traded on commercially available broad-based indexes.
          Employees are also prohibited  from short selling  securities that are
          owned by  accounts  within  their  own  area,  even if  their  area is
          quantitatively (and not "actively") managed. The Compliance Department
          will  review  holdings  upon a short  sale  pre-clearance  request  to
          determine  whether an Active  Portfolio holds the security and whether
          an account managed by the employee's area holds the security.

     o    Insider Trading,  Market Manipulation,  etc. - Transactions  involving
          the use of  material  non-public  information;  that are  intended  to
          manipulate  the price of or to create the  appearance  of trading in a
          security;   or  that  are  otherwise   designated  by  the  Compliance
          Department as inappropriate  are prohibited and do not qualify for the
          Conflicts of Interest Committee.

     o    Short-Term  Trading  Strategies  in GMO  Funds.  - All  employees  are
          prohibited  from engaging in market timing or other short term trading
          strategies  in any GMO Fund  (including  GMO  mutual  funds and mutual
          funds  sub-advised by GMO).  While other criteria may be considered by
          the Compliance Department,  all employees are specifically  prohibited
          from redeeming a portion or all of a purchase in a GMO Fund, excluding
          GMO Short Duration  Investment  Fund and GMO Domestic Bond Fund,  made
          within the past 60 calendar  days.  Additionally,  three  "round-trip"
          transactions  (purchase  and  subsequent  redemption)  in the same GMO
          Fund,  excluding GMO Short Duration  Investment  Fund and GMO Domestic
          Bond Fund, over a 12 month period is prohibited.

9.   Brokerage Statements

     All employees  are required to disclose to the  Compliance  Department  all
     their brokerage  accounts and  relationships and to require such brokers to
     forward copies of  confirmations  of account  transactions.  If the brokers
     utilize electronic  confirmation feeds, than you are required to coordinate
     with the Compliance Department to ensure that this feed is activated.

10.  Violations

     Violation of these policies can result in sanctions ranging from reprimand,
     disgorgement of profits,  suspension of trading  privileges and termination
     of employment or relationship with GMO.

11.  Annual Affirmation and Attestation

     On an annual  basis,  all  employees  will be required to certify that they
     have read, understand and complied with the above policies and procedures.

     any public or private  market  must be  pre-cleared  and  reported,  unless
     specifically exempted below.

     any  other  account  for  which  an  employee  controls,  or  substantially
     influences the investment decisions ("Covered Accounts").

     Discretionary  Accounts  (when an  employee  has hired  another  adviser to
     manage any Covered  Account on a  discretionary  basis) are also subject to
     pre-clearance and reporting unless other arrangements have been approved in
     advance by the legal department.

     transactions  by a GMO Fund or Account  with  respect to such stock.  If an
     employee has any question as to whether a  transaction  qualifies  for this
     exemption,  the question  should be directed to the legal  department.  For
     trades that  qualify for this  exemption  from  pre-clearance,  you will be
     asked to report the market capitalization of the security and the source of
     such information on your quarterly transaction report. You may utilize this
     exemption once per security within multiple accounts during a pre-clearance
     period so long as the total across all accounts is less than $25,000.  That

How to Request Pre-Clearance

1)   Login to  http://gmo.starcompliance.com  (contact the Compliance Department
     if you need assistance with your login credentials).  Click on File a PTAF.
     Select the Exchange that the security is traded on, the  Brokerage  Account
     that you wish to trade from and the Trade Request Type. Click Next.  Select
     the  security  that you  would  like to  trade.  Fill out the form with all
     pertinent information and click Submit.

2)   The  Compliance  Department  will seek approval from each trading area that
     may have interest in the  security(ies).  All requests are dealt with on an
     anonymous basis.

3)   You will be notified  via email as soon as possible  whether  approval  was
     obtained or denied.

4)   If your proposed trade was denied,  under no circumstance should you effect
     the trade.

5)   If your proposed  trade has been  approved,  you have five business days to
     effect  such  trade.  If you do not  trade  within 5  business  days of the
     issuance of pre-clearance, you must request pre-clearance again.

6)   In some cases,  a request may be denied for a reason that is  confidential.
     An explanation is not required to be given for refusing any request.

What is the process for review of denied trades?

1)   Conflict of Interest Committee. A Conflict of Interest Committee,  composed
     of Scott Eston, John Rosenblum and Gregory Pottle,  has been established to
     examine  situations  where an  employee  would  like to seek  exception  to
     pre-clearance  denial.  The Conflict of Interest Committee has the power to
     override pre-clearance denials if, in its absolute discretion,  it believes
     the proposed activity is in no way fraudulent or manipulative. Any employee
     who would like to bring a request  before this  Committee  should  submit a
     request to the StarCompliance mailbox.

THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT  PRE-CLEARANCE  WILL BE OBTAINED.  THIS MAY MEAN THAT
YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SELL A SECURITY  YOU OWN OR PURCHASE  FOR AN  INDEFINITE
PERIOD OF TIME.

                     GMO U.K. Ltd. Code of Ethics Supplement

In order to comply with the FSA's  personal  account  dealing rules and to allow
for certain UK specific investment practices, this UK Supplement has been issued
to all GMO UK staff as a  supplement  to the GMO Code of Ethics  policy.  In the
event of a conflict between the Code of Ethics policy and the UK Supplement, the
UK Supplement shall govern.

1.   Application of the Code to Covered Accounts

     The Code of Ethics  and the UK  Supplement  apply to all GMO UK  employees,
     on-site  consultants and "Covered  Accounts".  A "Covered Account" includes
     the  employee's  spouse  and  minor  children  and any  person  to whom the
     employee,  in his or her  personal  capacity,  gives share  recommendations
     including, a relative, co-habitee, business partner or friend. GMO presumes
     that an employee  exercises  control or influence  over a spouse's or minor
     child's personal account  transactions and therefore any such  transactions
     must comply with the Code of Ethics.  All transactions by a Covered Account
     must be reported by the employee concerned.

2.   Special Rules for Certain Investments and Investment Practices

     -    UK Gilts:  Transactions  in UK Gilts are not subject to  pre-clearance
          but must be reported quarterly.

     -    PEP's and ISA's:  Any  proposed  transaction  for a PEP or ISA account
          must be pre-cleared unless an available exemption exists.

     -    De Minimis  Purchases  and Sales of FOOTSIE 100 stocks:  Employees may
          purchase  or sell up to a maximum  of(pound)15,000  of any FOOTSIE 100
          stock  once,  within a five  business  day  period  without  obtaining
          pre-clearance.   All  such   transactions  are  subject  to  quarterly
          reporting.

     -    Investment Trusts: Purchases and sales of investment trusts which hold
          predominantly  UK equities  are not subject to  pre-clearance  but are
          subject to  quarterly  reporting.  Pre-clearance  will be required for
          transactions in investment trusts holding non-UK stocks as such trusts
          may be purchased for client accounts from time to time.

     -    Trades for accounts managed by an outside  discretionary  manager must
          be  pre-cleared  unless  the  Compliance  Department  has  waived  the
          pre-clearance  obligation  and the employee has arranged for quarterly
          certification  from the outside manager stating that the individual or
          covered  account  has  not  influenced  the  discretionary   manager's
          decisions during the period in question. A form letter requesting such
          quarterly   certification   may  be  obtained   from  the   Compliance
          Department.

3.   General Exemptions

     The restrictions do not extend to:

     (a)  any  transaction  by you in an  authorised  unit  trust,  a  regulated
          collective  investment  scheme or a life assurance policy (including a
          pension); or
     (b)  any discretionary  transaction entered into without  consultation with
          you, where the discretionary account is not held with the firm.

4.   Personal Account Procedures

     All  trades  subject  to  pre-clearance  must be  pre-cleared  through  the
     Compliance  Department.  To  request  pre-clearance,  you must  complete  a
     Pre-Trade  Authorisation Form ("PTAF") using the StarCompliance system. For
     all UK stocks above the de minimus amount,  the Compliance  Department will
     seek approval  from the  appropriate  GMO UK fund manager.  If the proposed
     personal  account  transaction is in a non-UK security and not subject to a
     de minimus U.S. large cap stock GMO exemption, this will be referred to the
     relevant  Portfolio  Manager and GMO's Compliance  Department.  Please note
     that  there is a 3  business  day  blackout  period  after a trade has been
     executed, before a personal account trade may be executed. If your proposed
     trade is  approved,  you will have 5  business  days in which to issue your
     instruction to trade.  If you do not trade within 5 business days, you must
     seek  pre-clearance  again.  If your proposed trade is denied,  you may not
     trade.

     You must arrange for copies or duplicate confirmations or contract notes to
     be sent for the  attention of the  Compliance  Department in respect of all
     personal  account  transactions  which are subject to quarterly  reporting.
     These include de minimus trades, UK Gilt transactions, discretionary trades
     and PEP/ISA  account  trades.  Trades  which are not  subject to  quarterly
     reporting are identified in the GMO Code of Ethics and include for example,
     trades in unit trusts,  money market  instruments  and  currencies.  A form
     letter  requesting  copies  of  confirmations  to be  sent to GMO UK may be
     obtained from the Compliance Department.

5.   Reporting of Transactions

     GMO UK and GMO must  keep a record  of all  personal  account  transactions
     executed by GMO UK staff.  Accordingly,  you will be required to complete a
     quarterly  report of personal trades form at the end of each quarter and an
     annual  holdings  disclosure  at the end of  September.  These  reports are
     submitted through StarCompliance.

     The quarterly  forms must be completed  within 10 calendar days of the last
     day of each  quarter.  The annual  return must be  completed  by the end of
     October each year.

6.   Personal Benefits (Inducements)

     You must not  accept  from any person any  benefit or  inducement  which is
     likely to conflict  with your duties to GMO UK or any of GMO UK's  clients.
     For the detailed  rules,  see section 9.2 of the  Compliance and Procedures
     Manual.  If  you  have  any  questions   regarding  personal  benefits  and
     inducements you should consult the Compliance Department.

7.   Counselling and procuring

     If the  Code of  Ethics  provisions  preclude  you from  entering  into any
     transaction, you cannot:

     (a)  advise or cause any other person to enter into such a transaction; or
     (b)  communicate any information or opinion to any other person,

     if you know,  or have  reason to believe,  that the other  person will as a
     result enter into such a transaction  or cause or advise someone else to do
     so.

     This  does  not  apply to  actions  that  you  take in the  course  of your
     employment with us. For example,  the fact that you are yourself prohibited
     from dealing in a certain stock as a result of one of the provisions  above
     does not  necessarily  mean that you are  precluded  from  dealing  for the
     client's account,  subject to the insider dealing legislation summarised in
     8 below.

8.   Summary of insider dealing legislation

     The UK  insider  dealing  provisions  contained  in part V of the  Criminal
     Justice  Act 1993 (the  "Act") are  complex,  and if you would like  fuller
     details  or are in any doubt  whether  a  particular  transaction  would be
     prohibited, you should consult the Compliance Department.

     The Act  applies to all  securities  traded on a  regulated  market  (which
     currently  includes all EC stock exchanges,  LIFFE, OMLX and NASDAQ) and to
     warrants and derivatives  (including index options and futures) relating to
     these  securities even if these warrants and derivatives are only "over the
     counter" or otherwise not publicly traded.

     In broad terms, and subject to the exemptions  provided by the Act, the Act
     makes  it a  criminal  offence,  with a  maximum  penalty  of  seven  years
     imprisonment  and an unlimited  fine,  for an individual who has non-public
     information to deal in  price-affected  securities  (including  warrants or
     derivatives  relating  to  them) on a  regulated  market;  or deal  with or
     through a professional intermediary; or by acting himself as a professional
     intermediary. Securities are "price-affected" if the inside information, if
     made public,  would be likely to have a significant  effect on the price of
     the securities.  This applies to all companies'  securities affected by the
     information,  whether directly or indirectly (for example, competitors of a
     company about to bring out a new product).

     The Act applies  whether you deal as part of your employment or on your own
     account.  It also  applies  to  information  which you obtain  directly  or
     indirectly  from an insider whether or not in the course of your employment
     (for example, by social contacts).

     (1)  If you are precluded  from dealing,  normally you are also  prohibited
          from dealing on behalf of the firm or a client  (except  perhaps on an
          unsolicited basis);

     (2)  Procuring or encouraging  another person to deal in the price-affected
          securities   (whether  or  not  the  other   person   knows  they  are
          price-affected); and

     (3)  Passing the inside  information  to another  person  other than in the
          proper performance of your employment.

     It  is  possible  for a  transaction  which  involves  insider  dealing  to
     constitute an offence  otherwise than under the insider dealing  provisions
     of the  Criminal  Justice  Act.  In  particular,  under  section 118 of the
     Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 a person who "dishonestly  conceals
     any  material  facts" is guilty of an offence if he does so for the purpose
     of  inducing,  or is reckless as to whether it may induce,  another  person
     (whether  or not the person  from whom the facts are  concealed)  to buy or
     sell an  investment,  or to refrain from buying or selling and  investment.
     This  offence  could  well be  committed  by a person  who  conceals  price
     sensitive  information  from a  counterparty  to induce him to deal, if the
     concealment is dishonest.
