STANDARDS OF BUSINESS CONDUCT

Pursuant to Rule 204A-1, the Firm is required to establish a standard of business conduct for its Code Persons. This section sets forth those standards.

A. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. All Code Persons must comply with applicable federal securities laws. Code Persons are not permitted, in connection with the purchase or sale, directly or indirectly, of a security held or to be acquired by a client:

● To defraud such client in any manner;

● To mislead such client, including making a statement that omits material facts;

● To engage in any act, practice or course of conduct which operates or would operate as fraud or deceit upon such client:

● To engage in any manipulative practice with respect to such client; or

● To engage in any manipulative practice with respect to securities, including price manipulation.

B. Conflicts of Interest. As a fiduciary, the Firm and all Code Persons have an affirmative duty of care, loyalty, honesty and good faith to act in the best interests of its clients. With this duty, the Firm and its Code Persons can achieve this obligation by trying to avoid conflicts of interest and by fully disclosing all material facts concerning any conflict that does arise with respect to any client. A “conflict of interest” may occur when a Code Person’s private interests may be inconsistent with the interests of the Firm’s clients and/or his/her service to the Firm. Additionally, Code Persons must try to avoid situations that have even the appearance of conflict or impropriety.

1. Conflicts Among Client Interests. Conflicts of interest may arise where the Firm or its Code Persons have reason to favor the interests of one client over another client (e.g., larger accounts over smaller accounts, accounts in which employees have made material personal investments, accounts of close friends or relatives of Code Persons). The Firm prohibits inappropriate favoritism of one client over another client that would constitute a breach of fiduciary duty.

2. Competing with Client Trades. The Firm prohibits Code Persons from using knowledge about pending or currently considered securities transactions for clients to profit personally, directly or indirectly, as a result of such transactions, including purchasing or selling such securities.

C. Insider Trading. Code Persons are prohibited from trading, either personally or on behalf of others, while in possession of material, nonpublic information. Additionally, the Firm’s Code Persons are prohibited from communicating material nonpublic information to others in violation of the law. The Firm has insider trading policies and procedures that can be found in the Firm’s Compliance Policy and Procedures Manual. A brief discussion is included in this Code.

4

1. Penalties. Should a Code Person violate the Firm’s insider trading policies and procedures, potential penalties may include, civil injunctions, permanent bars from employment in the securities industry, civil penalties up to three times the profits made or losses avoided, criminal fines, and jail sentences.

2. Material Nonpublic Information. The SEC’s position is that the term “material nonpublic information” relates not only to issuers, but also to the Firm’s securities recommendations and client securities holdings and transactions.

D. Personal Securities Transactions. The Firm requires all Code Persons to strictly comply with the Firm’s policies and procedures regarding personal securities transactions outside of the Firm. The following procedures are designed to assist the Firm in detecting and preventing abusive sales practices.

1. Trading Alongside Clients. It is the express policy of AIS that no person employed by AIS may purchase or sell any security within one hour prior to the transaction(s) being implemented for an advisory account unless such transactions are at a price equal to or inferior to the price obtained by advisory clients, and therefore, preventing such Code Person from benefiting from transactions placed on behalf of advisory accounts. AIS may utilize batched orders to carry out this policy.

2. Initial Public Offerings – Prohibition and Pre-Clearance. Code Persons are prohibited from directly or indirectly acquiring beneficial ownership of any security in an initial public offering through one of our custodians. Pre-clearance is required for acquiring beneficial ownership of any security in an initial public offering through outside sources.

3. Limited or Private Offerings – Pre-Clearance. Code Persons are prohibited from directly or indirectly acquiring beneficial ownership of any security in a limited or private offering, without the specific, advance written approval of the Chief Compliance Officer, which the Chief Compliance Officer may deny for any reason.

In determining whether to grant permission for such limited or private placement, the Chief Compliance Officer shall consider, among other things, whether such offering should be reserved for a client and whether such transaction is being offered to the person because of his or her position with the Firm.

5

Any person who has received such permission shall be required to disclose such an investment when participating in any subsequent consideration of such security for purchase or sale by client of the Firm, and that the decision to purchase or sell such security shall be made by persons with no personal, direct or indirect, interest in the security.

If you have any question as to whether a possible investment is an initial public offering or a limited or private placement, please consult with the Chief Compliance Officer

4. Blackout Period. AIS does not impose any blackout period for securities in which any client account managed by the Firm purchases or sells however, it is the policy of the Firm that trades made in staff accounts be reported to the Investment Department prior to the trade so they may make a determination as to whether or not any client trades will be made that could result in front-running a client. It is recommended that trades be made by the Investment Department for ease of trading.

5. Short-term Trading. Code Persons are prohibited from purchasing and selling, or selling and purchasing, a Reportable Security within any period of 15 calendar days. If any such transaction occurs, the Firm will require any profits from the transaction to be disgorged for donation by the Firm to charity. Under special circumstances, the Code Person may request pre-clearance and may be granted an exception for a trade that falls within the 15 calendar day timeframe.

6. Restricted List. The Firm does not currently maintain list of restricted securities, however, from time to time the firm may choose to restrict certain securities that are in an offer phase for a specific client or set of clients.

7. Prohibition on Participation in Investment Clubs. Code Persons are prohibited from participating in or making investments with or through any investment club or similar association or entity. If you have any doubt or uncertainty as to whether a particular association or entity is an Investment Club, you should ask the Chief Compliance Officer before you become in any way involved with the association or entity. Don’t just guess at the answer.

Code Persons are prohibited from directly or indirectly advising or causing any immediate family member (i.e., any relative by blood or marriage living in the Code Person’s household) to engage in conduct the Code Person is prohibited from engaging in under the Firm’s Code of Ethics.

It sometimes happens that a Code Person (e.g. one who is responsible for making investment recommendations or final investment decisions for client accounts – an IAR or research analyst) determines – within 48 hours immediately before or after he or she has purchased or sold for his or her own account a reportable security that was not, to the Code Person’s knowledge, then under consideration for purchase by any client account as to which the Code Person is responsible for making investment decisions to purchase or sell the same reportable security. In this situation, the Code Person MUST put the clients’ interests first and promptly make the investment recommendation or decision in the clients interest, rather than delaying the recommendation or decision for clients until after the 48 hours following the day of the transaction for the Code Person’s own account to avoid a possible conflict with the blackout provisions of this Code.

6

E. Gifts and Entertainment. Code Persons should not accept gifts, favors, entertainment, special accommodations or other things of material value that could influence their decision-making or make them feel beholden to a person or firm. Similarly, a Code Person should not offer gifts, favors, entertainment or other things of value that could be viewed as overly generous or aimed at influencing decision-making or making a client feel beholden to the Firm or the Code Person.

1. Gifts. No Code Person may receive any gift, service or other thing of more than de Minimis value from any person or entity that does business with or on behalf of the Firm. No Code Person may give or offer any gift of more than $250 value to existing clients, prospective clients, or any entity that does business with or on behalf of the Firm without pre-approval by the Chief Compliance Officer. Gifts, other than cash, given in connection with special occasions (e.g., deaths, births, weddings), of reasonable value are permissible. Retirement gifts and gifts in relation to promotions fall within the gift limitations.

2. Cash. No Code Person may give or accept cash gifts or cash equivalents to or from a client, prospective client, or any entity that does business with or on behalf of the Firm. This includes cash equivalents such as gift certificates, bonds, securities, or other items that may be readily converted to cash.

3. Entertainment. No Code Person may provide or accept extravagant or excessive entertainment to or from a client, prospective client, or any person or entity that does or seeks to do business with or on behalf of the Firm. Code Persons may provide or accept a business entertainment event, such as dinner, a sporting event, golf outings, etc. provided that such activities involve no more than customary amenities.

F. Confidentiality. All Code Persons of the Firm shall exercise care in maintaining the confidentiality of any confidential information, except where disclosure is authorized or legally mandated. Confidential information includes non-public information, the identity of security holdings and financial circumstances of clients.

7

1. Firm Duties. The Firm will keep all information about clients (including former clients) in strict confidence, including client’s identity (unless the client consents), the client’s financial circumstances, the client’s security holdings, and advice furnished to the client by the Firm or its vendors.

2. Code Persons’ Duties. The Firm strictly prohibits Code Persons from disclosing to persons outside the Firm any material nonpublic information about any client, the securities investments made by the Firm on behalf of the client, information about contemplated securities transactions, or information regarding the Firm’s trading strategies, except as required to effectuate securities transactions on behalf of a client or for other legitimate business purposes.

3. Physical Security. Firm files containing material nonpublic information will be sealed and/or locked when not being used or accessed and access to computer files containing such information is restricted to certain User ID codes.

4. Regulation S-P. The Firm maintains policies and procedures in compliance with Regulation S-P. For specific procedures and policies these documents should be reviewed and understood. The Firm requires that all Code Persons comply with the Firm’s privacy policy. NOTE: Regulation S-P covers only a subset of the Firm’s confidentiality standards. Regulation S-P applies only to natural persons and only to personal information. The Firm’s fiduciary duty to keep client information confidential extends to all of the Firm’s clients and information.

G. Service of Board of Directors. Service on Boards of publicly traded companies should be limited to a small number of instances. However, such service may be undertaken after advanced written notice and approval from the Chief Compliance Officer.

All such existing or prospective relationships should be reported via C11 to the Compliance Department.

b. Custodianships and Powers of Attorney. It is expected that all custodianships and powers of Attorney will be for minors or other members of the immediate family. These will be considered as automatically authorized and do not require approval from the Firm.

Whistleblower Program

Whistleblower Program. Effective August 12, 2011, The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (aka the Whistleblower Program) provided the SEC the authority to pay financial rewards to whistleblowers who provide new and timely information about any securities law violation. To be eligible, the whistleblower’s information must lead to a successful SEC enforcement action with more than $1,000,000 in monetary sanctions. While the rules incent rather than require prospective whistleblowers to use internal company compliance program, the regulations clarify that the SEC, when considering the amount of an award, will consider to what extent (if any) the whistleblower participated in the internal compliance processes of the firm.

More information regarding eligibility and how to report anonymously can be found via the following link: SEC Whistleblower. A person must be acting in good faith in reporting a complaint or concern and must have reasonable grounds for believing a deliberate misrepresentation has been made regarding accounting or audit matters or a breach of this Manual or the Firm’s Code of Ethics. A malicious allegation known to be false is considered a serious offense and will be subject to disciplinary action that may include termination of employment.

It is further AIS’s policy that any misconduct by any firm owner, management personnel or Supervised Person (exempt or non-exempt) shall be reported to the Chief Compliance Officer. If the misconduct being reported is regarding the Chief Compliance Officer, reports shall be made to other owners, management personnel or applicable regulators. If reported to an owner or management personnel, AIS will protect the reporting person’s identity and will not cause or threaten retaliation of any sort in connection with these reports. Reports may be filed online or via Form TCR (Tip, Complaint or Referral) available at the above link.

15

E. Sanctions. Code Persons that violate the Code may be subject to disciplinary action that a designated person or group (e.g. Chief Compliance Officer, Sr. Management Team) deems appropriate, including but not limited to a warning, fines, disgorgement, suspension, demotion, or termination of employment. In addition to sanctions, violations may result in referral to governmental or self-regulatory authorities when appropriate.

E. Further Information Regarding the Code. Should a Code Person require additional information about the Code or have any other ethics-related questions, they should contact the Chief Compliance Officer.

DEFINITIONS

Supervised Person: Includes directors, officers, and Equity Shareholders of the Firm or other persons occupying a similar status or performing similar functions.

Employees of the Firm and persons who provide investment advice on behalf of the Firm and are subject to the Firm’s supervision and control.

Beneficial Ownership: As used in this Code is to be interpreted by reference to Rule 16a-1 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The term “pecuniary interest” means the opportunity, directly or indirectly, to profit or share in any profit derived from a transaction in the subject securities.

Notwithstanding the fact that a Code Person has not purchased a security for his/her own account or the account of an immediate family member, if at any time a Code Person becomes aware that he or she has become a beneficial owner of a security in an initial public, limited or private offering (e.g. purchase by immediate family member), the Code Person shall promptly report such interest to the Chief Compliance Officer who shall determine the appropriate action, if any.
