A Message from Our CEO


Wellington Management s reputation is our most valuable asset, and it is built on trust trust that we will always put our clients interests first and that our actions will fully meet our obligations as fiduciaries for our clients.

Our personnel around the world play a critical role in ensuring that we continue to earn this trust. We must all adhere to the highest standards of profes -sional and ethical conduct. We must be sensitive to situations that may give rise to an actual conflict or the appearance of a conflict with our clients interests, or have the potential to cause damage to the firm s reputation. To this end, each of us must act with integrity, honesty, and dignity.

We must all remain vigilant in protecting the interests of our clients before our own, as reflected in our guiding principle: client, firm, self. If our standards slip or our focus wanes, we risk the loss of everything we have worked so hard to build together over the years.

Please take the time to read this Code of Ethics, learn the rules, and determine what you need to do to comply with them and continue to build on our clients trust and confidence in Wellington Management.

Wellington Management

Code of Ethics

Standards of Conduct

Our standards of conduct are straightforward and essential. Any transaction or activity that violates either of the standards of conduct below is prohibited, regardless of whether it meets the technical rules found elsewhere in the Code of Ethics.

1

We act as fiduciaries to our clients. Each of us must put our clients interests above our own and must not take advantage of our management of clients assets for our own benefit. Our firm s policies and procedures implement these principles with respect to our conduct of the firm s business. This Code of Ethics implements the same principles with respect to our personal conduct. The procedures set forth in the Code govern specific transactions, but each of us must be mindful at all times that our behavior, including our personal investing activity, must meet our fiduciary obligations to our clients.

2

We act with integrity and in accordance with both the letter and the spirit of the law. Our business is highly regulated, and we are committed as a firm to compliance with those regulations. Each of us must also recognize our obligations as individuals to under -stand and obey the laws that apply to us in the conduct of our duties. They include laws and regulations that apply specifically to investment advisors, as well as more broadly applicable laws ranging from the prohibition against trading on material nonpublic information and other forms of market abuse to anticorruption statutes such as the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the Council of Europe s Criminal Law Convention on Corruption. The firm provides training on their requirements. Each of us must take advantage of these resources to ensure that our own conduct complies with the law.

Who Is Subject to the Code of Ethics?

Our Code of Ethics applies to all partners and employees of Wellington Management Company, llp , and its affiliates around the world. Its restrictions on personal investing also apply to temporary per -sonnel (including co - ops and interns) and consul -tants whose tenure with Wellington Management exceeds 90 days and who are deemed by our Chief Compliance Officer to have access to nonpublic investment research, client holdings, or trade infor -mation.

All Wellington Management personnel receive a copy of the Code of Ethics (and any amendments) and must certify, upon joining the firm and annually thereafter, that they have read and understood it and have complied with its requirements.

Adherence to the Code of Ethics is a basic condition of employment. Failure to adhere to our Code of Ethics may result in disciplinary action, including termination of employment.

If you have any doubt as to the appropriateness of any activity, believe that you have violated the Code, or become aware of a violation of the Code by another individual, you should consult the manager of the Code of Ethics Team, Chief Compliance Officer, General Counsel, or Chair of the Ethics Committee.

General questions regarding our Code of Ethics may be directed to the Code of Ethics Team via email at #Code of Ethics Team or through the Code of Ethics hotline, 617-790 - 8330 (x68330).

Code of Ethics

Wellington Management

Personal Investing

As fiduciaries, each of us must avoid taking personal
advantage of our knowledge of investment activity in
client accounts. Although our Code of Ethics sets out
a number of specific restrictions on personal investing
designed to reflect this principle, no set of rules can
anticipate every situation. Each of us must adhere to
the spirit, and not just the letter, of our Code in meet-
ing this fiduciary obligation to our clients.

Which Types of Investments and Related Activities
Are Prohibited?

Short-Term Trading

You are prohibited from profiting from the
purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) of the
same or equivalent securities within 60 calendar days.
For example, if you buy shares of stock (or options on
such shares) and then sell those shares within 60 days
at a profit, an exception will be identified and any gain
from the transactions must be surrendered. Gains are
calculated based on a last in, first out (LIFO) method
for purposes of this restriction. This short-term trad -
ing rule does not apply to securities exempt from
the Code s preclearance requirements.

Our Code of Ethics prohibits the following personal    
investments and investment-related activities:    
" Purchasing or selling the following:   " Taking a profit from any trading activity within a 60
    calendar day window (see circle for more detail)
Initial public offerings (IPOs) of any securities   " Using a derivative instrument to circumvent a

Code of Ethics

Web Resource: Wellington-Managed Fund List

An up - to - date list of funds managed by Wellington
Management is available through the Code of Ethics System
under Documents. Please note that any transactions in
Wellington - Managed funds must comply with the funds' rules
on short- term trading of fund shares.

" Interest in private placement securities (other than
Wellington Management Sponsored Products)
" Shares of funds managed by Wellington
Management (other than money market funds)
Please see Appendix A for a detailed summary of
reporting requirements by security type.
For purposes of the Code of Ethics, these invest-
ment accounts are referred to as reportable accounts .
Examples of common account types include broker-
age accounts, retirement accounts, employee stock
compensation plans, and transfer agent accounts.
Reportable accounts also include those from which
you or an immediate family member may benefit
indirectly, such as a family trust or family partner-
ship, and accounts in which you have a joint owner-
ship interest, such as a joint brokerage account.

Please contact the Code of Ethics Team for guidance
if you hold any securities in physical certificate form.

Still Not Sure? Contact Us
If you are not sure if a particular account is
required to be reported, contact the Code of Ethics
Team by email at #Code of Ethics Team or through the
Code of Ethics hotline, 617-790 - 8330 (x68330).

Accounts Not Requiring Reporting
You do not need to report the following accounts
via the Code of Ethics System since the administra-
tor will provide the Code of Ethics Team with access
to relevant holdings and transaction information:
" Accounts maintained within the Wellington
Retirement and Pension Plan or similar firm-
sponsored retirement or benefit plans identified
by the Ethics Committee
" Accounts maintained directly with Wellington
Trust Company or other Wellington Management
Sponsored Products

Although these accounts do not need to be reported,
your investment activities in these accounts must
comply with the standards of conduct embodied in
our Code of Ethics.

Managed Account Exemptions
An account from which you or immediate family
members could benefit financially, but over which
neither you nor they have any investment discretion
or influence (a managed account ), may be exempted
from the Code of Ethics personal investing re -
quirements upon written request and approval. An
example of a managed account would be a profes -
sionally advised account about which you will not
be consulted or have any input on specific transac -
tions placed by the investment manager prior to
their execution. To request a managed account
exemption, you must complete a Managed Account
Letter (available online via the Code of Ethics
System) and return it the Code of Ethics Team.

Web Resource: Managed Account Letter

To request a managed account exemption, complete the
Managed Account Letter available through the Code of Ethics
System under Documents.

What Are the Reporting Responsibilities for All
Personnel?

Initial and Annual Holdings Reports
You must disclose all reportable accounts and all
covered investments you hold within 10 calendar
days after you begin employment at or association
with Wellington Management. You will be required
to review and update your holdings and securities
account information annually thereafter.

For initial holdings reports, holdings information
must be current as of a date no more than 45 days
prior to the date you became covered by the Code of
Ethics. Please note that you cannot make personal trades
until you have filed an initial holdings report via the
Code of Ethics System on the Intranet.

For subsequent annual reports, holdings informa-
tion must be current as of a date no more than 45
days prior to the date the report is submitted. Please
note that your annual holdings report must account for
both volitional and non - volitional transactions.

Code of Ethics

Wellington Management

Quarterly Transactions Reports

Non-volitional transactions include:

Investments made through automatic dividend reinvestment or rebalancing plans and stock purchase plan acquisitions

Transactions that result from corporate actions applicable to all similar security holders (such as splits, tender offers, mergers, and stock dividends)

At the time you file your initial and annual reports, you will be asked to confirm that you have read and understood the Code of Ethics and any amendments.

Duplicate Statements and Trade Confirmations

For each of your reportable accounts, you are required to provide duplicate statements and duplicate trade confirmations to Wellington Management. To arrange for the delivery of duplicate statements and trade confirmations, please contact the Code of Ethics Team for the appropriate form. Return the completed form to the Code of Ethics Team, which will submit it to the brokerage firm on your behalf. If the brokerage firm or other firm from which you currently receive statements is not able to send state -ments and confirmations directly to Wellington Management, you will be required to submit copies promptly after you receive them, unless you receive an exemption from this requirement under the procedures outlined on page 7.


Web Resource: How to File Reports on the Code of Ethics System

Required reports must be filed electronically via the Code of Ethics System. Please see the Code of Ethics System s homepage for more details.

You must submit a quarterly transaction report no later than 30 calendar days after quarter- end via the Code of Ethics System on the Intranet, even if you did not make any personal trades during that quar -ter. In the reports, you must either confirm that you did not make any personal trades (except for those resulting from non -volitional events) or provide information regarding all volitional transactions in covered investments.

What Are the Preclearance Responsibilities for All Personnel?

Preclearance of Publicly Traded Securities

You must receive clearance before buying or selling stocks, bonds, options, and most other publicly traded securities in any reportable account. A full list of the categories of publicly traded securities requiring preclearance, and of certain exceptions to this requirement, is included in Appendix A . Transactions in accounts that are not reportable accounts do not require preclearance or reporting.

Preclearance requests must be submitted online via the Code of Ethics System, which is accessible through the Intranet. If clearance is granted, the approval will be effective for a period of 24 hours. If you preclear a transaction and then place a limit order with your broker, that limit order must either be executed or expire at the end of the 24 -hour period.

If you want to execute the order after the 24 - hour period expires, you must resubmit your preclearance request.

If you have questions regarding the preclearance requirements, please refer to the FAQs available on the Code of Ethics System or contact the Code of Ethics Team.

Please note that preclearance approval does not alter your responsibility to ensure that each personal securities transaction complies with the general standards of conduct, the reporting requirements, the restrictions on short- term trad -ing, or the special rules for investment profession -als set out in our Code of Ethics.

Wellington Management

Code of Ethics

Web Resource: How to File a Preclearance
Request

Preclearance must be obtained using the Code of Ethics System.
Once the necessary information is submitted, your preclearance
request will be approved or denied within seconds.

Caution on Short Sales, Margin Transactions,
and Options
You may engage in short sales and margin transac-
tions and may purchase or sell options provided
you receive preclearance and meet all other applica-
ble requirements under our Code of Ethics (includ-
ing the additional rules for investment professionals
described on page 8). Please note, however, that these
types of transactions can have unintended consequences.
For example, any sale by your broker to cover a
margin call or to buy in a short position will be in
violation of the Code unless precleared. Likewise,
any volitional sale of securities acquired at the expi-
ration of a long call option will be in violation of
the Code unless precleared. You are responsible for
ensuring any subsequent volitional actions relating
to these types of transactions meet the requirements
of the Code.

Preclearance of Private Placement Securities
You cannot invest in securities offered to poten -
tial investors in a private placement without first
obtaining prior approval. Approval may be granted
after a review of the facts and circumstances,
including whether:

To request approval, you must submit a Private
Placement Approval Form (available online via the
Code of Ethics System) to the Code of Ethics Team.
Investments in our own privately offered investment
vehicles (our Sponsored Products), including collec-
tive investment funds and common trust funds
maintained by Wellington Trust Company, na , our
hedge funds, and our non -US domiciled funds
(Wellington Management Portfolios), have been
approved under the Code and therefore do not
require the submission of a Private Placement
Approval Form.

Web Resource: Private Placement Approval Form

To request approval for a private placement, complete the
Private Placement Approval Form available through the Code of
Ethics System under Documents.

Requests for Exceptions to Preclearance Denial,
Other Trading Restrictions, and Certain Reporting
Requirements
The Chief Compliance Officer may grant an excep -
tion from preclearance, other trading restrictions,
and certain reporting requirements on a case - by-
case basis if it is determined that the proposed con-
duct involves no opportunity for abuse and does not
conflict with client interests. Exceptions are expected
to be rare. If you wish to seek an exception to these
restrictions, you must submit a written request to
the Code of Ethics Team describing the nature of the
exception and the reason(s) it is being sought.

  • an investment in the securities is likely to result in future conflicts with client accounts (e.g., upon a future public offering), and
  • you are being offered the opportunity due to your employment at or association with Wellington Management.

If you have questions regarding whether an invest-
ment would be deemed a private placement security
under the Code, please refer to the FAQs about
private placements available on the Code of Ethics
System, or contact the Code of Ethics Team.

What Are the Additional Personal Trading Requirements for Investment Professionals?

If you are a portfolio manager, research analyst, or other investment professional who has portfolio management responsibilities for a client account (e.g., designated portfolio managers, backup portfolio managers, investment team members), or who otherwise has direct authority to make decisions to buy or sell securities in a client account (referred to here as an investment professional), you are required to adhere to additional rules and restrictions on your personal securities transactions. However, as no set of rules can anticipate every situation, you must remember to place our clients interests first whenever you transact in securities that are also held in client accounts you manage.

The following provisions of the code are intended to allow investment professionals to make long-term investments in securities. However, you may not be able to sell personal investments for extended periods of time and therefore should consider the liquidity, tax planning, market, and similar risks associated with making personal investments in securities of an issuer that are or may be held in client accounts.

  • Investment Professional Blackout Periods You cannot buy or sell a security for a period of seven calendar days before or after any transaction in the same issuer by a client account for which you serve as an investment professional. Effective 1 September 2013, you cannot buy or sell a security for a period of 14 calendar days before or after any transaction in the same issuer by a client account for which you serve as an investment professional.
    In addition, effective 1 September 2014, you may not sell personal holdings in a security of the same issuer that is held by a client account for which you serve as an investment professional until the later of the following periods: (i) one calendar year from the date of your last purchase and (ii) 90 calendar days after all of your client accounts liquidate all holdings of the same issuer.
    If you anticipate receiving a cash flow or redemption request in a client portfolio that will result in the purchase or sale of securities that you also hold in your per- sonal account, you should take care to avoid transactions in those securities in your personal account in the days leading
    up to the client transactions. However, unanticipated cash flows and redemptions in client accounts and unexpected market events do occur from time to time, and a personal trade made in the prior seven (or 14) days should never prevent you from buying or selling a security in a client account if the trade would be in the client s best interest. If you find yourself in that sit- uation and need to buy or sell a security in a client account within the seven (or 14) cal- endar days following your personal trans- action in a security of the same issuer, you should notify the Code of Ethics Team (by email at #Code of Ethics Team or through the Code of Ethics Hotline, 617-790-8330 [x68330]) or your local compliance officer in advance of placing the trade. If you are unable to reach any of those individuals and the trade is time sensitive, you should proceed with the client trade and notify the Code of Ethics Team promptly after submit- ting it.
  • Short Sales by an Investment Professional An investment professional may not person- ally take a short position in a security of an issuer in which he or she holds a long posi- tion in a client account.

Code of Ethics

Gifts and Entertainment

Our guiding principle of client, firm, self also
governs the receipt of gifts and entertainment from
clients, consultants, brokers, vendors, companies in
which we may invest, and others with whom the
firm does business. As fiduciaries to our clients, we
must always place our clients interests first and
cannot allow gifts or entertainment opportunities to
influence the actions we take on behalf of our clients.
In keeping with this standard, you must follow sev-
eral specific requirements:

Accepting Gifts You may only accept gifts of
nominal value, which include promotional items,
flower arrangements, gift baskets, and food, as well
as other gifts with an approximate value of less than
US$100 or the local equivalent. You may not ac-
cept a gift of cash, including a cash equivalent such
as a gift certificate or a security, regardless of the
amount. If you receive a gift that violates the Code,
you must return the gift or consult with the Chief
Compliance Officer to determine appropriate action
under the circumstances.

Accepting Entertainment Opportunities The firm
recognizes that participation in entertainment op -
portunities with representatives from organizations
with which the firm does business, such as consul-
tants, brokers, vendors, and companies in which we
may invest, can help to further legitimate business
interests. However, participation in such entertain-
ment opportunities should be infrequent, and you
may participate only if:
1
a representative of the hosting organization is present,
2
the primary purpose of the event is to discuss busi-
ness or to build a business relationship,

and
3
the opportunity meets the additional requirements
below.

Lodging and Air Travel You may not accept a gift of
lodging or air travel in connection with any entertain-
ment opportunity. If you participate in an entertain-
ment opportunity for which lodging or air travel is
paid for by the host, you must reimburse the host for
the equivalent cost, as determined by Wellington Man-
agement s travel manager.

Additional Reimbursement Requirements You must
receive prior approval from your business manager
and reimburse the host for the full face value of any
entertainment ticket(s) if:
" the entertainment opportunity requires a ticket
with a face value of more than US$200 or the local
equivalent, or is a high -profile event (e.g., a major
sporting event),

" you wish to accept more than one ticket, or

" the host has invited numerous Wellington
Management representatives.

Business managers must clear their own participa -
tion under the circumstances described above with
the Chief Compliance Officer or Chair of the Ethics
Committee.

Please note that even if you pay for the full face
value of a ticket, you may attend the event only if
the host is present . Whenever possible, you should
arrange for any required reimbursement prior to
attending an entertainment event.

Soliciting Gifts, Entertainment Opportunities, or
Contributions In your capacity as a partner or
employee of the firm, you may not solicit gifts,
entertainment opportunities, or charitable or politi-
cal contributions for yourself, or on behalf of clients,
prospects, or others, from brokers, vendors, clients, or
consultants with whom the firm conducts business or
from companies in which the firm may invest.

Sourcing Entertainment Opportunities You may
not request tickets to entertainment events from the
firm s Trading department or any other Wellington
Management department, partner, or employee, nor
from any broker, vendor, company in which we may
invest, or other organization with which the firm
conducts business.

Code of Ethics

Wellington Management

Outside Activities

While the firm recognizes that you may engage in busi-
ness or charitable activities in your personal time, you
must take steps to avoid conflicts of interest between
your private interests and our clients interests. As a
result, all significant outside business or charitable
activities (e.g., directorships or officerships) must be
approved by your business manager and by the Chief
Compliance Officer, General Counsel, or Chair of the
Ethics Committee prior to the acceptance of such a
position (or if you are new, upon joining the firm).
Approval will be granted only if it is determined that
the activity does not present a significant conflict of
interest. Directorships in public companies (or compa-
nies reasonably expected to become public companies)
will generally not be authorized, while service with
charitable organizations generally will be permitted.

Officers of the firm can only seek additional employ-
ment outside of Wellington Management with the
prior written approval of the Human Resources
department. All new employees are required to
disclose any outside employment to the Human
Resources department upon joining the firm.

Client Confidentiality

Any nonpublic information concerning our clients
that you acquire in connection with your employ-
ment at the firm is confidential. This includes infor-
mation regarding actual or contemplated investment
decisions, portfolio composition, research recommen-
dations, and client interests. You should not discuss
client business, including the existence of a client
relationship, with outsiders unless it is a necessary
part of your job responsibilities.

How We Enforce Our
Code of Ethics

Legal and Compliance is responsible for monitor -
ing compliance with the Code of Ethics. Members
of Legal and Compliance will periodically request
certifications and review holdings and transac-
tion reports for potential violations. They may also
request additional information or reports.

It is our collective responsibility to uphold the Code
of Ethics. In addition to the formal reporting require -
ments described in this Code of Ethics, you have a
responsibility to report any violations of the Code. If
you have any doubt as to the appropriateness of any
activity, believe that you have violated the Code, or
become aware of a violation of the Code by another
individual, you should consult the manager of the
Code of Ethics Team, Chief Compliance Officer,
General Counsel, or Chair of the Ethics Committee.

Potential violations of the Code of Ethics will be
investigated and considered by representatives of
Legal and Compliance and/or the Ethics Committee.
All violations of the Code of Ethics will be reported
to the Chief Compliance Officer. Violations are
taken seriously and may result in sanctions or other
consequences, including:
" a warning
" referral to your business manager, senior manage -
ment, and/or the Managing Partners
" reversal of a trade or the return of a gift
" disgorgement of profits or of the value of a gift
" a limitation or restriction on personal investing
" a fine
" termination of employment
" referral to civil or criminal authorities

If you become aware of any potential conflicts of
interest that you believe are not addressed by our
Code of Ethics or other policies, please contact the
Chief Compliance Officer, the General Counsel, or
the manager of the Code of Ethics Team.

Closing

As a firm, we seek excellence in the people we
employ, the products and services we offer, the way
we meet our ethical and fiduciary responsibilities,
and the working environment we create for our-
selves. Our Code of Ethics embodies that commit-
ment. Accordingly, each of us must take care that
our actions fully meet the high standards of conduct
and professional behavior we have adopted. Most
importantly, we must all remember client, firm,
self is our most fundamental guiding principle.
