FLEXIBLE PLAN INVESTMENTS, LTD.

CODE OF ETHICS

Revised 1/1/2022

        It is the policy of Flexible Plan Investments, Ltd., ("Flexible") to conduct its business affairs at the highest ethical levels and to avoid any conduct or course of dealing, which could be criticized by others as having even the appearance of conflict of interest or dishonesty. Certain conduct is, therefore, singled out in this Code of Ethics for prohibition. Other conduct may be prohibited from time to time as circumstances may warrant or as may be required to assure that this Code remains compliant with Rule 17j-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and all other applicable Federal Security laws.

TRADING ON THE BASIS OF MATERIAL, NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION

Confidentiality of Material, Non-Public Information

Any Flexible employee who comes into possession of material, non-public information concerning a publicly traded company or material, non-public information concerning Flexible’s securities recommendations and/or client securities holdings must safeguard the information and not intentionally or inadvertently communicate it to any person (including family members and friends) unless the person has a need to know for legitimate reasons. Consistent with the foregoing, material, non-public information should be communicated discreetly. Such information should not be discussed in public places where it may be overheard.

Prohibition of Trading on the basis of Material, Non-public Information

Flexible employees have a duty not to disclose material, non-public information and are likewise prohibited from trading securities on the basis of such information. Any Flexible employee having actual or imputed knowledge about securities that is price sensitive and is not generally available may not:

· Buy or sell those securities

· Recommend or suggest to others that they buy or sell those securities

· Communicate the information to another person who may be likely to use the information to buy or sell those securities.

Materiality.

Information is deemed material if it would be considered important by a reasonable investor in determining whether to buy, sell or refrain from any activity regarding those securities to which such information pertains. Further, such information would be material if it were likely to have a significant impact on the market price of that company’s securities.

Trading open-end mutual fund shares.

As an investment adviser, which advises its clients to commit their capital to the risks inherent in owning shares of open-end registered investment companies, Flexible firmly believes that its employees and agents should likewise be willing to commit their capital to such investments and certainly should not be discouraged from doing so.

With the exception of its advisory activities relating to Reportable Funds, Flexible's advice to its clients relating to trading open end mutual funds is not susceptible to misuse by its employees and agents having prior knowledge of the advice to be given. This is because the purchase and sale of open-end mutual fund shares generally involves the determination of net asset value (price) only once each day, as of the close of exchange trading on that day. Therefore, opportunities for "front running", "scalping", and other inside trading abuses in respect of such shares are not present. Flexible does not, therefore, currently impose any "insider trading" regulations on its employees and agents with respect to trading in open-end mutual fund shares, variable annuity and variable life insurance sub-accounts. The foregoing shall not, however, apply to open-end mutual fund shares, variable annuity and variable life insurance sub-accounts as to which Flexible serves as advisor or subadvisor (“Reportable Funds”).

SECURITIES TRANSACTION REPORTING

Flexible is required to maintain records of securities purchased and sold by its Access Persons (hereafter defined). Flexible shall also maintain records of securities purchased and sold by those additional Flexible supervised persons who shall be designated and identified on a list prepared, maintained and published by Flexible’s Corporate Counsel. Such designated persons, together with Flexible’s Access Persons, to be known as “Securities Transaction Reporting Persons”. Within 10 days after the close of each calendar quarter (i.e. March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31) each Flexible Securities Transaction Reporting Person who has security transactions is required to file with the Chief Compliance Officer the form entitled Personal Security Transaction Report. Securities under management by Flexible will be reflected in the supervised person’s client file and need not be duplicated on the Transaction Report. Neither shall a Securities Transaction Reporting Person be required to file reports encompassing purchases and sales effected in any personal investment account over which such person has no direct influence or control or with respect to transactions effected pursuant to an Automatic Investment Plan. The substance of such report shall adhere to Section 9.10 of Flexible’s Supervisory Procedures Manual, which provides:

The CCO shall monitor the personal securities transactions of each Securities Transaction Reporting Person to ensure that such persons are fulfilling their fiduciary responsibilities to FPI clients including registered investment companies for which Flexible may be serving in an advisory capacity (a “Fund”). The CCO shall require that Personal Securities Transaction Reports be submitted to him/her not later than ten calendar days following the end of each calendar quarter. Each report must contain the following information:

·Name of Company

·Name of the securities purchased or sold, including the number of shares and principal amount if fixed income securities;

·Date and nature of the transaction (i.e., purchase, sale or other acquisition or disposition);

·Price at which the transaction was effected;

· Names of the broker/dealer or bank through whom the transaction was effected.

Following submission of the Personal Securities Trading Reports, the CCO will review each report for any evidence of improper trading activities or conflicts of interest by the reporting person.

Flexible shall adhere to the legal requirement that all Access Persons shall, within ten (10) days of becoming an Access Person and each December 31 thereafter, file with the Chief Compliance Officer the form entitled Holdings Report. Flexible also requires that those additional Flexible supervised persons who shall be designated and identified on a list prepared, maintained and published by Flexible’s Corporate Counsel, shall, within ten (10) days of being so designated and each December 31 thereafter, file with the Chief Compliance Officer the form entitled Holdings Report. Such designated persons, together with Flexible’s Access Persons, to be known as “Holdings Reporting Persons”. The substance of such report shall disclose for such Holdings Reporting Person the title, type, exchange ticker symbol or CUSIP number, number of shares and principal amount of each Covered Security (hereafter defined) in which the Holdings Reporting Person has any direct or indirect beneficial ownership, including the identity of any broker/dealer or other custodian holding such Covered Security on behalf of the Holdings Reporting Person. Securities under management by Flexible will be reflected in the Holdings Reporting Person’s file and need not be duplicated on the Holdings Report.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Flexible supervised person shall be required to:

· File quarterly Personal Securities Trading or Holdings Reports with respect to securities under management by Flexible.

· Obtain prior approval for or file Holdings Reports or quarterly Personal Securities Trading Reports with respect to purchases and sales effected in any personal investment account over which such person has no direct influence or control.

· File quarterly Personal Securities Trading Reports with respect to transactions effected pursuant to an Automatic Investment Plan.

· File quarterly Personal Securities Trading or Holdings Reports with respect to closely held securities.

Strict adherence to this policy shall be maintained by requiring filing of such reports in an accurate and timely fashion.
