I.	INTRODUCTION

General

The Morgan Stanley Investment Management (“MSIM”) Public Side Code of Ethics (the “Code”) is intended to fulfill MSIM’s requirements under Rule 204A-1 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”) and Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Company Act”). The Code is reasonably designed to prevent legal, business and ethical conflicts, to guard against the misuse of confidential information, and to avoid even the appearance of impropriety that may arise in connection with your personal trading and Outside Business Activities as a MSIM Employee. It is very important for you to read the “Definitions” section to understand the scope of this Code, including the individuals, accounts, securities and transactions it covers. You are required to acknowledge receipt and your understanding of this Code at the start of your employment at MSIM or when you become a Covered Person, as defined below, and annually thereafter.

This Code applies to all Public Side Employees of MSIM globally and to Covered Consultants as determined by Compliance. Please note that Private Side Employees and AIP Private Markets employees should consult the IM Private Side Supplement to the Global Employee Trading and Investing Policy and the IM Private Side Code of Ethics.

In addition to this Code, there is a separate Morgan Stanley Funds Code of Ethics, which is applicable to the Morgan Stanley mutual funds family.

Standards of Business Conduct

MSIM seeks to comply with the Federal securities laws and regulations applicable to its business. The Code is designed to assist you in fulfilling your regulatory and fiduciary duties as an MSIM Employee as they relate to your personal securities transactions.

Fiduciary Duties

You have a duty to act in utmost good faith with respect to each Client, particularly where the interests of MSIM may be in conflict with those of a Client. MSIM has a duty to deal fairly and act in the best interests of its Clients at all times. The following fiduciary principles govern your activities and the interpretation / administration of these rules:

•

The interests of Clients must be placed first at all times.

•

All of your personal securities transactions must be conducted in compliance with the rules contained in this Code and in such manner as to avoid any actual or potential conflict of interest or any abuse of your position of trust and responsibility.

•

You should never use your position with MSIM, or information acquired through your employment, in your personal trading in a manner that may create a conflict—or the appearance of a conflict—between your personal interests and the interests of MSIM and / or its Clients. If such a conflict or potential conflict arises, you must report it immediately to your local Compliance group.

In connection with providing investment advisory services to Clients, this includes avoiding any activity which directly or indirectly:

•

Defrauds a Client in any manner.

•

Misleads a Client, including any statement that omits material facts.

•

Operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit of a Client.

•

Functions as a manipulative practice with respect to a Client.

•

Functions as a manipulative practice with respect to securities.

Personal Securities Transactions and Relationship to MSIM Clients

MSIM prohibits you from engaging in personal trading in a manner that would distract you from your daily responsibilities. MSIM strongly encourages you to invest for the long term and discourages short-term, speculative trading. You are cautioned that short- term strategies may attract a higher level of regulatory and other scrutiny. Excessive or inappropriate trading that interferes with job performance or that compromises the duty that MSIM owes to its Clients will not be tolerated.

These standards do not identify all possible conflicts of interest, and literal compliance with each of the specific provisions of this Code will not shield you from liability for personal trading or other conduct that is designed to circumvent its restrictions or violates a fiduciary duty to Clients.

If you become aware that you or someone else may have violated any aspect of this Code, you must report the suspected violation to Compliance, or your Designated Manager immediately.

Overview of Code Requirements

Compliance with the Code is a matter of understanding its basic requirements and making sure the steps you take regarding activities covered by the Code are in accordance with the letter and spirit of the Code. Generally, you have the following obligations:

	Activity	Code Requirements
	Employee Securities Account(s)	Pre-clearance, Reporting
	Personal Trading Reporting	Pre-clearance, Holding Period, Reporting
	Participating in an Outside Activity	Pre-clearance, Reporting
	Making a Private Investment	Pre-clearance, Reporting

You must examine the specific provisions of the Code for more details on each of these activities and are strongly urged to consult with Compliance if you have any questions.

Personal Conflicts

As per the Firm’s Code of Conduct,

	•	Personal conflicts can arise from your outside activities or investments, or those of your family. You must avoid any investment, activity or relationship that could, or could appear to, impair your judgment or interfere with your responsibilities to Morgan Stanley (the “Firm”) and our Clients.

•

Examples of potential personal conflicts include, but are not limited to:

	o	Having a personal or family interest in a transaction involving Morgan Stanley

	o	Competing with Morgan Stanley for the purchase or sale of services

	o	Taking advantage of outside business opportunities that arise because of your position at Morgan Stanley

	o	Accepting special benefits offered based on your relationship with Morgan Stanley (such as discount prices, more favorable loan terms or investment opportunities), unless the terms are offered to a broad group of individuals (for example, discounted banking services offered to all Firm employees at the same location)

	o	Engaging in personal financial arrangements or certain other personal relationships with other Morgan Stanley employees

If you become aware of an actual or potential conflict, you must act in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements and our policies. You also must notify your supervisor, the Conflicts Management Officer (CMO) for your business unit in your region, a member of LCD or the Firm’s Global Conflicts Office (GCO) —including if an actual or potential conflict arises from an investment or activity that was previously approved through the Outside Business Interests (OBI) System. Consult the Conflicts of Interest InfoPage for additional information.

II.

TYPES OF ACCOUNTS/ACCOUNT OPENING REQUIREMENTS

Employee Securities Accounts

Generally, you and your Immediate Family must maintain all Employee Securities Accounts that may invest in Covered Securities at a Morgan Stanley Broker or an Approved Broker, as applicable to the respective jurisdiction.

Requirements may vary in non-U.S. offices. New Employees or newly designated Covered Persons must disclose their Employee Securities Account(s) and accounts of their Immediate Family within 10 calendar days, of hire, using the Initial Disclosure Form, and transfer their Employee Securities Account(s) to a Morgan Stanley Broker or an Approved Broker, as applicable in non-US jurisdictions, at their own expense, within 60 calendar days of becoming a Covered Person. Failure to do so may be considered a significant violation of this Code.

Within 30 calendar days of the commencement of your employment, employees are required to disclose and seek approval of all existing Employee Securities Accounts and Fully Managed Accounts not held at the Firm, and at all times thereafter, employees must obtain prior approval through the Outside Business Interest System.

Opening a Morgan Stanley Brokerage Account. When opening an Employee Securities Account, you must notify the Morgan Stanley Broker that you are an Employee and that the relevant account must be coded as an Employee or Employee-related account.

Fully Managed Account*

Fully Managed Accounts are generally permitted to be maintained outside of the Firm. For Fully Managed Accounts maintained outside of the Firm, Employees must provide Employee Investing and Activities Compliance (“EIAC”) with a copy of the executed management agreement or equivalent documents, with the respective account numbers, which EIAC will review for the relevant provisions. For certain brokers the management agreement is not required (e.g., robo advisors). If the account is managed by a firm other than Morgan Stanley, you must submit a request in the Outside Business Interests System (the “OBI System”) and arrange for duplicate copies of statements to be sent to Compliance.

With prior approval, you may open a Fully Managed Account for yourself or an Immediate Family member if the account meets the standards set forth below. In certain circumstances and with approval from Compliance, you may appoint non-Morgan Stanley managers (e.g., trust companies, banks or registered investment advisers) to manage your account.

In order to establish a Fully Managed Account, you must grant the manager complete investment discretion over your account. Pre-clearance is not required for trades in this account; however, you may not participate, directly or indirectly, in individual investment decisions or be made aware of such decisions before transactions are executed. This restriction does not preclude you from establishing investment guidelines for the manager, such as indicating industries in which you desire to invest, the types of securities you want to purchase or your overall investment objectives. However, those guidelines may not be changed so frequently as to give the appearance that you are actually directing account investments.

To the extent that you become aware of a proposed transaction by the manager in these types of accounts or have personally directed or asked another person to direct trades in these accounts, you are required to pre-clear the transaction prior to execution of the trade by the manager.

Annually, MSIM Employees and Covered Consultants will be required to attest that they have not made, directly or indirectly, any individual investment decision related to such managed account(s), nor have they directed another person to make such investments without first pre-clearing those transactions in accordance with Section III.

*Pursuant to local regulation, Employees of MSIM Private Limited and IM Public Side Employees of the Global In-house Centers as listed in Schedule B are prohibited from opening Fully Managed Accounts.

Other Morgan Stanley Sponsored Accounts

You do not have to pre-clear participation in Morgan Stanley Sponsored Accounts (e.g., Morgan Stanley 401 (k), Employee Incentive Compensation Plan, etc.) with Compliance. However, you must disclose participation in these and similar plans during the annual

certification process.

Non-Morgan Stanley Accounts

Exceptions to the requirement to maintain Employee Securities Accounts at a Morgan Stanley Broker are rare and require Compliance approval. If your request is approved, you will be required to ensure that duplicate statements are sent to Compliance or uploaded directly into the OBI system. Requirements may vary in non-U.S. offices.

If you open an account other than with a Morgan Stanley Broker (inclusive of E*TRADE) without obtaining the required Compliance pre-approval, you must immediately disclose it to Compliance through the OBI System. You may be required to close such account.

Maintaining a non-Morgan Stanley 401(k) plan or similar account that permits you to trade Covered Securities must be approved by Compliance.

Individual Savings Accounts (“ISAs”) for Employees of MSIM Ltd. and EVAIL

Fully Managed Accounts for ISAs (i.e., an independent manager makes the investment decisions) and non-discretionary ISAs (including single company ISAs) where you make investment decisions, may only be established and maintained as long as the account is pre-approved by Compliance through the OBI System. In addition, for Non-discretionary ISAs you must obtain pre-approval for each transaction you wish to undertake via the Trade Pre-Clearance (“TPC”) system. Duplicate statements must be supplied to Compliance and applicable quarterly and yearly reporting requirements must be met. For the avoidance of doubt, Fully Managed Accounts for ISAs do not require pre-approval for each transaction undertaken by the independent investment manager. However, yearly reporting requirements apply.

Mutual Fund Accounts

You and your Immediate Family may open an account for the purpose of transacting in affiliated open-end Mutual Funds, including Sub-Advised and Proprietary Mutual Funds (i.e., an account directly with a fund transfer agent) without prior approval from Compliance You must report participation in these accounts initially and as part of the annual certification process.

Issuer Purchase Plans

You may open an account directly with an issuer to purchase its shares, such as a dividend reinvestment plan, or “DRIP,” by submitting a pre-clearance request via the TPC system. Any future, off-scheduled, transactions (buys and sells) require pre-clearance. You must also report DRIP holdings to Compliance as part of the annual certification process. Please note that these accounts do not require OBI disclosure.

Investment Clubs

You may not participate in or solicit transactions on behalf of investment clubs in which members pool their funds to make investments in securities or other financial products.

Cryptocurrencies

You are generally not required to disclose accounts for Cryptocurrency (wallets/accounts) as long as they do not have brokerage capability (i.e., cannot hold Covered Securities) and are not linked to an account with brokerage capability (whether or not such capability is utilized).

While trading Cryptocurrencies does not require disclosure or pre-clearance, any other type of participation (e.g., mining, staking participating in Initial Coin Offerings (“ICOs”), etc.) requires disclosure and pre-approval through the OBI system. Please note that Private Investments or Outside Business Activities related to cryptocurrency exchanges or other related ventures are generally not permitted (please see the Global Employee Trading, Investing and Outside Business Activities Policy).

III.

PRE-CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR PERSONAL SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

General

You and your Immediate Family are required to pre-clear and receive prior approval for all personal securities transactions in Covered Securities unless your personal securities transaction is subject to an exemption under this Code. Should an Employee be made aware of a proposed transaction in a Fully Managed Account or have personally directed, or asked another person to direct a trade in a Fully Managed Account, the Employee is required to pre-clear that trade prior to execution. See the Securities Transaction Matrix in Schedule A for additional information regarding the requirements for pre-clearance. In keeping with the general principles and objectives of the Code, Compliance, in its sole discretion, may refuse to grant approval of a personal securities transaction, without specifying a reason for the refusal.

Personal trade requests will be denied if there is an order for a Client in the same or related security at the time the personal trade request is submitted. Exceptions may be granted if the Covered Security is being purchased or sold for a passively-managed index fund or index portfolio.

Any transaction that is prohibited by the Code may be required to be reversed and any profits (or any differential between the sale price of the personal security transaction and the subsequent purchase or sale price by a Client during the relevant period) are subject to disgorgement. See “Enforcement and Sanctions”.

Please consult with your local Compliance if you have any questions.

Initiating a Transaction

Prior notification must be given by completing and submitting a pre-clearance form via the TPC system. No transaction requiring preclearance may be executed prior to receiving an “Approval” e-mail from the system. Approval is obtained by entering your trade request into the TPC system (type “IMTPC/” into your browser). Upon completion of the necessary checks, you will receive a system generated email notification advising whether your trade request has been approved or rejected. You must wait for notification from the TPC system advising that your trade request has been approved before executing the trade.

Pre-Clearance Valid for One Day Only

All Covered Persons, , are required to pre-clear Covered Securities through the TPC system. If your trade request is approved, such approval is valid only for the day on which it is granted (the day on which you receive notification that your trade request was approved). Any transaction not completed (whether in whole or in part) on that day will require a new approval. This means that open orders, such as limit orders and stop-loss orders, must be pre-cleared each day until the transaction is effected. In the case of trades in international markets where the market has already closed, transactions must be executed by the next close of trading in that market.

Note: PPA Model Personnel; see Section III.E “Restrictions and Requirements for PPA Model Personnel” below).

Restrictions and Requirements for Investment Personnel

No purchase or sale transaction may be made in any Covered Security or a related investment (i.e., derivatives) by Investment Personnel (excluding PPA Model Personnel; see Section III.F “Restrictions and Requirements for PPA Model Personnel” below) for a period of five (5) calendar days before or five (5) calendar days after the Investment Personnel purchases or sells the security on behalf of a Client. Exceptions from the Blackout Period may be granted if the Covered Security was traded for an index fund or index portfolio.

Investment Personnel or other Employees who have knowledge of Client trading activity are subject to the same five (5) calendar day Blackout Period. Investment Personnel must obtain approval from their Designated Manager or designee prior to obtaining pre-clearance approval by Compliance.

Restrictions and Requirements that apply to Eaton Vance Affiliated Entities

Where research recommendations or conclusions are involved, Investment Personnel must adhere to the following.

If within the five (5) calendar days prior to and including the day you seek pre-clearance and approval to enter into a personal securities transaction for a security:

•

The weighted price potential (“WPP”) of that security (as determined by a Research Analyst) or a related financial instrument has been changed (the amount of the change in order to trigger the restrictions set forth herein as determined from time to time) on the relevant system (e.g., Code Red/FactSet RMS); or

•

For purposes of CRM, that security (or its issuer) has been designated as “eligible” or “ineligible” or its designation as a “eligible” or ineligible has changed,

Until the 5^th calendar day after you have communicated your new or changed recommendation or research conclusion throughout the relevant investment group; or

Until you have first determined, with the prior concurrence of local Compliance, that investment in that security or a related financial instrument is not suitable for any Client.

You may then proceed according to the requirements set forth above under sub-sections A, B and C above.

Restrictions and Requirements for PPA Model Personnel

PPA Model Personnel may be temporarily restricted from all personal securities trading during significant model portfolio rebalance and index reconstitution events.

Call Options

Listed Call Options.

VI.

OUTSIDE BUSINESS ACTIVITIES AND PRIVATE INVESTMENTS

Approval to Engage in an Outside Business Activity

You may not engage in any Outside Business Activity, regardless of whether or not you receive compensation or are asked to engage in such activity by the Firm, without prior approval first from the Employee’s Designated Manager and then from Compliance. If you receive approval, it is your responsibility to notify Compliance immediately if any conflict or potential conflict of interest arises in the course of the Outside Business Activity or if the nature of the activity changes, materially. In addition, and as part of the Annual Certification of Employees, you are required to review/edit each disclosure for completeness and accuracy.

Examples of an Outside Business Activity include providing consulting services, organizing a company, giving a formal lecture or publishing a book or article, accepting compensation from any person or organization other than the Firm, serving as an officer, employee, director, partner, member, or advisory board member of a company or organization not affiliated with the Firm, whether or not related to the financial services industry (including charitable organizations or activities for which you do not receive compensation), setting up a holding company for investments or investing in rental properties. For U.S. registered Employees only, real estate investments that generate rental income require disclosure in the OBI System, unless the property is also used by the Employee as a primary, secondary or vacation residence. Generally, Compliance will not approve any Outside Business Activity related to the securities or financial services industry other than activities that reflect the interests of the industry as a whole and that are not in competition with those of the Firm.

In the case of employees of Morgan Stanley AIP GP LP (“AIP”), where serving on an advisory board for a company in which AIP invests is part of the AIP employee’s roles and responsibilities as an employee of AIP, such service shall not be considered an Outside Business Activity and approval via the OBI System is not required. The relevant senior business managers are responsible for approving Employees to serve on advisory boards, documenting such approvals, maintaining a list of such Employees, and reviewing the list in consultation with the relevant Compliance officers at least annually.

A request to serve on the board of any company, particularly the board of a public company, will be granted in very limited instances only. If you receive approval, your directorship may be subject to the implementation of information barrier procedures to isolate you from making investment decisions for Clients concerning the company in question, as applicable.

Approval to Invest in a Private Investment

You may not invest in a third-party Private Investment without prior approval from Compliance. Private Investments include investments in privately held corporations,

limited partnerships, tax shelter programs, hedge funds and holding companies (e.g., LLC, LP, S-Corp, C-Corp, etc.). Approval is required for third-party private investments held in a Morgan Stanley account through the OBI System. Disclosure in the OBI system is not required for Morgan Stanley proprietary funds (funds structured by Morgan Stanley or its affiliates that are offered to MS Employees and/or Clients).

For Singapore-licensed Employees, it is prohibited to conduct (by way of Outside Business Activity or Private Investment) the following non-financial advisory activities:

•

Carrying on moneylending business;

•

Organizing, promoting or conducting any casino marketing arrangement;

•

Being involved in the real estate agency business;

•

Marketing any investment that is not an investment product.

REVIEW, INTERPRETATIONS AND EXCEPTIONS

Compliance is responsible for administering the Code and reviewing your Initial, Quarterly and Annual Reports.

Exceptions are granted only in rare and unusual circumstances, such as financial hardship. You must contact Compliance with any questions regarding the applicability, meaning or administration of the Code, including requests for an exception, in advance of any contemplated transaction. If Compliance determines that an exception would not be against the interests of any Client and is consistent with applicable laws and regulations, including Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act and Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act, Compliance may approve an exception and will document the exception, including the circumstances and rationale.

Violations are considered on a cumulative basis.

The foregoing sanctions are intended to be guidelines only. Compliance, in its discretion, may recommend alternative actions if deemed warranted by the facts and circumstances of each situation.
