                                  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.

                  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 GMO's 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 similar position 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  may be
     accepted.  In cases where a GMO employee or his or her  supervisor  believe
     that  attendance  at certain  events will be  beneficial  to GMO and/or its
     clients  interests,  the employee should request via their  supervisor that
     GMO pay for the cost of the employee's attendance.  In instances where this
     is  not  possible,   the  employee  may  participate   provided  that  such
     participation is approved by her supervisor, and the supervisor reports the
     receipt  of  the  invitation,  including  appropriate  explanation,  within
     StarCompliance.

     Examples of gifts 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

     All gifts of substantial value (i.e. greater than $250) must be approved by
     both your  supervisor  and the  Conflicts  of Interest  Committee  prior to
     receipt.

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

     |X|  Gifts with a fair market value of less than $50.
     |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 by the
     approving supervisor on a register within StarCompliance.

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 GMO's Chief Compliance Officer 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  conflict  with  an  Access  Person's
          fiduciary obligations,  including their own, to GMO's Chief Compliance
          Officer;

     GMO's 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
     Gregory Pottle.

     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
          GMO's Chief Compliance Officer;

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

     |X|  the Compliance  Department 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

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
               GMO Fund) of the types set forth in  Section 2 of the  Procedures
               are subject to the pre-clearance  procedures set forth in Section
               6 of the Procedures.

          b.   General Policy.

               In general,  requests to buy or sell a security will be denied if
               the  Security (a) was  purchased  or sold within 3 calendar  days
               prior to the date of the request or (b) is being  considered  for
               purchase or sale  within 15  calendar  days after the date of the
               request by any Fund or Account. Requests to sell a Security short
               will be denied for the same  reasons and also if the  security is
               owned by any GMO Active Portfolio.  However, due to the frequency
               of trades and automated  security selection and trading processes
               employed by the Algorithmic Trading Division,  the foregoing will
               not  apply  to  securities  held  by  accounts  managed  by  this
               division.(2)

          c.   Procedures.

               The  procedures  for  requesting  pre-clearance  of a  Securities
               Transaction  are set forth in Section 6 of the  Procedures and in
               Appendix  A  thereto.   GMO's  Chief  Compliance  Officer  (or  a
               designee)  will keep  appropriate  records  of all  pre-clearance
               requests.

          d.   No Explanation Required for Refusals.

               In some cases, GMO's Chief Compliance Officer (or a designee) may
               refuse to authorize a Securities Transaction for a reason that is
               confidential. GMO's Chief Compliance Officer (or designee) is not
               required to give an  explanation  for refusing to  authorize  any
               Securities Transaction.

     2.   Prohibited Transactions.

               be  authorized,  except to the  extent  designated  below.  These
               prohibitions  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.

               i.   Initial Public Offerings.

                    Any purchase of  Securities  in an initial  public  offering

                    investment  company or any initial  offering  that an Access
                    Person  can  demonstrate  in the  pre-clearance  process  is
                    available  and  accessible to the general  investing  public

                    purchase or sale by a Fund or an Account.  For this purpose,
                    a security is being  considered  for purchase or sale when a
                    recommendation  to  purchase or sell the  Security  has been
                    communicated  or,  with  respect  to the  person  making the
                    recommendation,  when such person seriously considers making
                    the recommendation.

               iv.  Short-Term Profiting.

                    Profiting   from  the  purchase  or  sale  of  the  same  or

                    following  securities (as defined in Part  II.B.2.c.i.(b) of

                    Short selling  securities that are held in Active Portfolios
                    Access  Persons  also  are  prohibited  from  short  selling
                    Securities  held in an  account  within his or her own area,
                    even if quantitatively  managed.  The Compliance  Department
                    will determine  whether an Active Portfolio holds a Security
                    and whether a Security is held by an Access Person's "area."

               vi.  Short-Term Trading Strategies in GMO Funds.

                    Redemption  of a portion or all of a purchase  in a GMO Fund
                    (including  the GMO  Trust  mutual  funds and  mutual  funds
                    sub-advised by GMO, but excluding GMO Short Duration  Income
                    Fund, GMO Domestic Bond Fund, GMO Short-Duration  Collateral
                    Fund,  and GMO World  Opportunity  Overlay Fund) made within
                    the  past 60  calendar  days.  If a  position  is sold for a
                    profit  within 60 days,  any such profit will be required to
                    be disgorged  and paid to the Fund or as otherwise  directed
                    by GMO's  Conflicts  of  Interest  Committee.  Additionally,
                    three  "round-trip"  transactions  (purchase and  subsequent
                    redemption) in the same GMO Fund, with the same  exceptions,
                    over  a  12-month   period  is   prohibited.   Profits  will
                    ordinarily be required to be disgorged in a similar manner.

          b.   Improper Securities Transactions.

               The  following  Securities  Transactions  may violate the federal
               securities  laws or other legal or  regulatory  provisions or are
               otherwise  deemed to be improper and are  prohibited and will not
               be authorized under any circumstances:

               i.   Inside Information.

                    issuer of the Security;

               ii.  Market Manipulation.

                    Transactions intended to raise, lower, or maintain the price
                    of any  Security or to create a false  appearance  of active
                    trading

               iii. Market-Timing of GMO Advised/Sub-Advised Mutual Funds.

                    Transactions in GMO Funds (including GMO Sub-Advised  Funds)
                    that, when taken  together,  constitute a short term trading
                    strategy  that is  inconsistent  with the  interests  of the
                    fund's long-term investors; and

               iv. Others.

                    Any  other  transactions  deemed by GMO's  Chief  Compliance
                    Officer (or a designee)  to involve a conflict of  interest,
                    possible  diversions  of  corporate  opportunities,   or  an
                    appearance of impropriety.

                    publicly  traded  market  based  index of stocks and related
                    options  are not subject to the  pre-clearance  requirements
                    set forth in Part  II.B.1 of this Code,  but are  subject to
                    the  reporting  requirements  set forth in Part  II.B.2.d of
                    this Code.

               iii.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.

               iv.  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.

               v.   Short-Term    Transactions   on   Options.   The   following
                    transactions  with respect to options violate the Short-Term
                    Profiting  provision  set forth in Part  II.B.2.a.v  of this
                    Code:

                         option was purchased.

                    o    Selling the underlying security within 60 days from the
                         date the option was purchased.

                    o    Selling a put on the underlying security within 60 days

                    o    Buying the underlying  security within 60 days from the

                         days from the date the option was purchased.(3)

                    o    Writing a put on the underlying security within 60 days
                         from the date the option was purchased.(3)

                         from the date the option was sold.(3)

          c.   Application to Limit Order

               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.   The  Compliance
               Department  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.   Application to Margin Accounts

               Dipping  below a margin  requirement  may result in an unapproved
               security  liquidation by the broker making the margin call, which
               would technically be a violation of the pre-clearance  policy. In
               these instances documentation is required from the brokerage firm
               to  establish  that the  liquidation  was the  result  of  margin
               requirements,  and  not a  requested  transaction  by the  Access
               Person.

     4.   Reporting Requirements

          a.   Initial and Annual Disclosure of Personal Holdings.

               No later than 10 calendar  days after initial  designation  as an
               Access  Person and  thereafter  on an annual  basis (and based on
               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.

          b.   Quarterly Reporting Requirements.

               Each Access Person (subject to sub-section  (iv) below) must file
               a  quarterly  report  with the  Compliance  Department  within 10
               calendar  days of  quarter-end  with  respect  to all  Securities
               Transactions  of the types listed in Section 2 of 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.

          c.   Brokerage Statements.

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

          d.   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  period  immediately
               before or after the trustee's  transaction 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 GMO's Chief  Compliance  Officer (or  designee) and file a
               quarterly   transaction   report  as   required  by  GMO's  Chief
               Compliance Officer.

          e.   Review of Reports.

               The Chief  Compliance  Officer (or a designee)  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.

          f.   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,  GMO's 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.

     5.   Private Placements/Non-GMO Employee Stock Investment Options

          Private  placements  (including  private  placements of any GMO pooled
          vehicle  or GMO Hedge  Fund) and  Non-GMO  Employee  Stock  Investment
          Options are subject to pre-clearance and reporting procedures,  and as
          such must be reviewed by the Conflicts of Interest  Committee prior to
          investment.





                  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  Compliance  Department  determines  that an Access  Person has
          committed a  violation  of the Code,  the  Compliance  Department  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
          Compliance  Department also  ordinarily  requires 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  Compliance  Department  and shall be forwarded to a
          charitable  organization  approved by the  Compliance  Department.  No
          member  of the  Compliance  Department  may  review  his  or  her  own
          transaction.

          Additionally,  the  Compliance  Department  will  institute a monetary
          penalty   for   recurring   non-material   violations   of  the  Code.
          Specifically, Access Persons who violate any provisions of the Code on
          three  occasions  within any 12-month period will be subject to a $100
          penalty. Furthermore,  Access Persons who violate any provision of the
          Code on four occasions within any 36-month period will be subject to a
          $500  penalty and  supervisor  notification  and,  on each  subsequent
          occasion,  will be subject to a $1,000 penalty. To the extent that the
          violation indicates serious misconduct, more serious sanctions will be
          considered.

     2.   Review.

          Whenever the Compliance  Department  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  Conflicts of
          Interest  Committee and 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.

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 (excluding any independent trustee
     of GMO Trust) will be required to certify  that they have read,  understand
     and complied with the Code and the Procedures.  Such  certification  may be
     done by electronic means.

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.

                             Dated October 26, 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 any GMO Entity 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
          pre-clearance   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) and Non-GMO Employee Stock Investment  Options 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(5),
          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    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))



_____________________________

(5) 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    Commodities  and options on  commodities  (Note:  financial  commodity
          contracts are subject to pre-clearance and reporting)

     o    Municipal Bonds

     o    Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DIA)

     o    Certain Open-Ended Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)

     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 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-business 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 in
     StarCompliance.  The Compliance  Department  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.  However,  due to
     the  frequency  of trades and  automated  security  selection  and  trading
     processes employed by the Algorithmic Trading Division,  the foregoing will
     not apply to securities held by accounts managed by this division.

     For private  placements,  pre-approval  can be requested by  submitting  an
     e-mail to the  Compliance  Department  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 access persons 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 prior 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/Non-GMO
          Employee Stock Investment  Options - 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

               short sale  pre-clearance  request to determine whether an Active

               qualify for review by the Conflicts of Interest Committee.

               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, GMO Domestic Bond Fund, GMO Short-Duration Collateral Fund,
               and GMO World  Opportunity  Overlay Fund, made within the past 60
               calendar  days.  Additionally,  three  "round-trip"  transactions

               Fund,  GMO   Short-Duration   Collateral   Fund,  and  GMO  World
               Opportunity Overlay Fund, over a 12 month period is prohibited.

9.   Brokerage Statements

     All employees  are required to disclose to the  Compliance  Department  all
     their reportable  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 (which may be
     done by electronic means) that they have read, understand and complied with
     the above policies and procedures.

   Appendix A: Quick Reference Guide to Pre-Clearance and Quarterly Reporting


Who and What is Subject to Pre-Clearance and Reporting?

->   Purchasing, selling or writing securities (domestic and foreign), 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.

->   Charity/Gifts  the  practice  of  donating  securities  to  charity is also
     subject to pre-clearance and quarterly reporting.

->   All  supervised   persons   (including   members,   employees  and  on-site
     consultants)  of any GMO Entity,  and  certain  other  related  persons are
     subject to these rules.

->   Any reportable  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").

->   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.

What is Exempt from Pre-Clearance and Quarterly Reporting?

     ->   Open-end mutual funds (other than Reportable Funds)
     ->   Money market-like instrument
     ->   U.S. Government Securities or futures thereon
     ->   Trading in spot currencies
     ->   Currency Forward Contracts
     ->   Futures on interest rates
     ->   Mergers
     ->   Tender Offers
     ->   Exercise of Rights Offerings
     ->   Dividend Investment Programs
     ->   Transactions designated by the Conflict of Interest Committee

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

->   Futures and Related Options on commercially available broad based indexes

->   Commodities  and  options  and  futures  on  commodities  (Note:  financial
     commodity contracts are subject to pre-clearance and reporting)

->   Any  discretionary  accounts  (i) that  have  been  approved  by the  legal
     department  in  advance,  and (ii) for  which  employee  has  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.

->   Exemption for De Minimus Purchases and Sales of Large Market Cap Stocks for
     non-Investment  Personnel  (does not include  IPOs):  Purchases or sales by
     Access Persons who are not portfolio managers or trading staff of less than

     than $5 billion  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 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
     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.

->   GMO  Sub-Advised Funds

     Compliance Department.

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 FTSE 100  stocks:  Employees  may
          purchase or sell up to a maximum of(pound)15,000 of any FTSE 100 stock
          once,   within  a  five   business   day  period   without   obtaining
          pre-clearance.   All  such   transactions  are  subject  to  quarterly
          reporting.  The  large  cap  exemption  does not  apply  to  employees
          designated  as  Investment  Personnel  (i.e.  Portfolio  Managers  and
          Traders).  As a result pre-clearance must be obtained before placing a
          transaction.

     -    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.

     -    GMO Mutual Funds.  Transactions in the Mutual Funds are not subject to
          pre-clearance   but  a  quarterly   transaction  and  annual  holdings
          disclosure is required.

     -    GMO Hedge  Funds All  transactions  in the Hedge  Funds are subject to
          pre-clearance.

     -    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.
