THORNBURG INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

March 2010

Policy Objectives

Honesty and integrity are hallmarks of Thornburg Investment Management, Inc. (the “Firm”). The Firm has a fiduciary obligation to its Investment Clients, and the Firm seeks the highest standards of ethics and conduct in all of its business relationships.

This Code has been adopted by the Firm pursuant to paragraphs (a)(1), (2), (4) and (5) of Rule 204A-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 with the objectives of deterring wrongdoing and (1) providing standards of honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships, (2) promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents which the Firm files with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by the Firm, (3) promoting compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations, (4) facilitating prompt internal reporting of violations of this Code, and (5) providing accountability for adherence to this Code.

This code and the separately adopted Policy on Personal Securities Transactions in accordance with paragraphs (a)(3) and (b) of Rule 204A-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 is intended to be the Investment Adviser’s code of ethics described in paragraph (a)(1), (2), (4) and (5) of Rule 204A-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

All records and reports created or maintained pursuant to this Code are intended solely for the internal use of the Firm, are confidential, and in no event constitute an admission by any person as to any fact, circumstance or legal conclusion.

This Code is intended to coordinate with the Thornburg Investment Trust Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (September 10, 2003). Where appropriate or necessary, specific sections of this Code include a coordinating provision referencing the appropriate section of the Thornburg Investment Trust Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Please see the Glossary of Terms for definitions of terms used in this Code.

Compliance with Laws, Rules and Regulations

The Firm expects its Supervised Persons to comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to its operation and business. Supervised Persons should seek guidance

whenever they are in doubt as to the applicability of any law, rule or regulation regarding any contemplated course of action. The Firm holds information and training sessions to promote compliance with laws, rules and regulations, including insider trading laws. Please consult the various guidelines and policies which the Firm has prepared in accordance with specific laws and regulations.

A good guideline, if in doubt on a course of action, is “Always ask first, act later – if you are unsure of what to do in any situation, seek guidance before you act.”

As a registered investment adviser, the Firm is subject to regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and compliance with federal, state and local laws. The Firm insists on strict compliance with the spirit and the letter of these laws and regulations.

Conflicts of Interest

Each Supervised Person should be scrupulous in avoiding any conflict of interest with regard to the Firm’s interest. A “conflict of interest” occurs when an individual’s private interest interferes with the interests of the Firm or its Investment Clients. A conflict situation can arise when a Supervised Person pursues interests that prevent the individual from performing his duties for the Firm or an Investment Client objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest also arise when a Supervised Person or member of the individual’s family receives undisclosed, improper benefits as a result of the individual’s positions with the Firm. Any conflict of interest that arises in a specific situation or transaction must be disclosed by the individual and resolved before taking any action.

Matters involving a conflict of interest are prohibited as a matter of policy, except when approved by the Firm’s president or Chief Compliance Officer. Conflicts of interest may not always be evident, and individuals should consult with higher levels of management or legal counsel if they are uncertain about any situation. In no event, however, shall investment in any security made in accordance with the Firm’s Policy on Personal Securities Transactions (or comparable policy or code then in effect) be considered a conflict of interest with the Firm.

Comment: This section relating to conflicts of interest is substantially similar to the comparable section in the Thornburg Investment Trust Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, but Supervised Persons should recognize that (i) the Trust’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics governs conflicts with interest of the Trust, rather than the Firm and its Clients, and (ii) the procedures for reporting and resolving conflict under the Trust’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is different from the Procedure under this Code. If an interest of the Supervised Person appears to conflict with an interest of the Trust and the Firm), the Supervised Person should make a disclosure and seek any approval under the Trust’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Corporate Opportunities

Supervised Persons shall not take for themselves personally opportunities that are discovered through the use of their position with the Firm, except with the approval of the Firm’s President or Chief Compliance Officer. Supervised Persons of the Firm owe a duty to the Firm to advance its legitimate interests when the opportunity to do so arises. In no event, however, shall investment in any security made in accordance with the Firm’s Policy on Personal Securities Transactions (or comparable policy or code then in

effect) be considered a business opportunity of the Firm.

Comment: This section relating to corporate opportunities is substantially the same as the comparable section on the Thornburg Investment Trust Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, but Supervised Persons should recognize that (i) the Trust’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics governs opportunities of the Trust, rather than the Firm, and (ii) the procedures for reporting and obtaining an approval under the Trust’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is different from the procedure under this Code. If an opportunity appears to relate both to the business of the Trust and the Firm, the Supervised Person should make disclosure and seek any approval under the Trust’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

Confidentiality

Supervised Persons shall exercise care in maintaining the confidentiality of any confidential information respecting the Firm or its Investment Clients, except when disclosure is authorized or legally mandated. Supervised Persons should consult with the Firm’s Chief Compliance Officer or legal counsel if they believe that have a legal obligation to disclose confidential information. Confidential information includes nonpublic information of the Firm that may be helpful to competitors, or otherwise harmful to the Firm, or its Investment Clients. Confidential information also includes information respecting the portfolio holdings of Investment Clients (including particularly Investment Company Clients). The obligation to preserve confidentiality of this information continues after association with the Firm ends.

Comment: Attention is directed to the Internal Confidentiality and Privacy Protections Policy, which appears in the Firm’s Manual of Policies and Procedures, and which was adopted by the Firm to protect the nonpublic personal information of the Investment Clients of the Firm and the shareholders of Thornburg Investment Trust. This section respecting confidentiality is substantially the same as the comparable section in the Thornburg Investment Trust Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, except that a specific reference is made to information respecting portfolio holdings of Investment Clients.

Fair Dealing

Supervised Persons should endeavor to deal fairly with Investment Clients, service providers and competitors, and shall not seek unfair advantage through improper concealment, abuse of improperly acquired confidential information, misrepresentation of material facts when the other party is known by the Supervised Persons to rely justifiably on the individual to disclose those facts truthfully, or improper and unfair dealing.

Business Gifts and Entertainment

The purpose of business entertainment and gifts in a commercial setting is to create goodwill and sound working relationships, not to gain unfair advantage. No gift or entertainment should ever be offered, given, provided or accepted by any Supervised Person in connection with the Firm’s business unless it (1) is consistent with customary business practices, (2) is not excessive in value, (3) cannot be construed as a bribe, payoff or kickback and (4) does not violate any laws or regulations.

No Supervised Person shall provide to or accept from any client or prospective client, or person or entity that does or seeks to do business with or on behalf of the Firm, more than $100.00 worth of gifts per year. (this limit does not include nominal logo/promotional items). No Supervised Person may give or accept cash or cash equivalent gifts. Supervised Persons may provide to or accept from any client or prospective client, or

person or entity that does or seeks to do business with or on behalf of the Firm a business entertainment event such as a dinner, golf outing, theater or sporting event if the person or entity providing the entertainment is present and as long as the event is not extravagant or excessive so as to give the appearance of impropriety.

On a quarterly basis, within 30 days of quarter end, all Supervised Persons who are designated as Access Persons will be required to report all entertainment and gifts that were given and received within the previous quarter.

Protection and Proper Use of Firm Assets

All Supervised Persons should endeavor to protect the assets of the Firm and its Investment Clients, and pursue their efficient investment in accordance with the Firm’s business purposes. Any suspected incident of fraud or theft should be immediately reported for investigation as hereinafter described under the caption “Administration and Enforcement of the Code.”

The obligation of Supervised Persons to protect the assets of the Firm includes its proprietary information. Proprietary information includes intellectual property such as trademarks and copyrights, as well as business, marketing and service plans, databases, records, salary information, unpublished financial data and reports. Unauthorized use or distribution of this information violates this Code.

Insider Trading

All Supervised Persons should pay particular attention to potential violations of insider trading laws. Insider trading in both unethical and illegal and will be dealt with decisively if it occurs. Supervised Persons are expected to familiarize themselves with the Policy on Insider Trading, adopted by the Firm. If they have questions about these guidelines, they should consult with the Firm’s president, the Chief Compliance Officer, or the Firm’s legal counsel.

Comment: Attention is directed to the Firm’s Policy on Insider Trading, which appears in the Firm’s Manual of Policies and Procedures.

Administration and Enforcement of the Code

Certification

Each newly hired Supervised Person of the Firm will be provided a copy of the Code. Each such individual must certify in writing within 30 days that they have received a copy of the Code, read and understand all provisions of the Code, and agree to comply with the applicable terms of the Code. The Firm will provide its Supervised Persons with any amendments to the Code and will require all such individuals to certify in writing that they have received, read and understand the amendments. Each year the Chief Compliance Officer will conduct an annual meeting with Supervised Persons to review the Code. Supervised Persons will annually certify that they have read, understood and

complied with the Code, that they have made all of the reports required by the Code and have not engaged in any prohibited conduct.

Reporting Violations

All Supervised Persons are required to promptly report any actual, apparent or suspected violations of the Code to the Chief Compliance Officer. If the Chief Compliance Officer or another compliance officer is not available the individual should report the violation to their immediate supervisor who is then responsible for reporting it to the Chief Compliance Officer. All reports will be treated confidentially to the extent permitted by law and investigated promptly.

Policy of Personal Securities Transactions

March 2010

Policy Objectives

Honesty and integrity are hallmarks of Thornburg Investment Management, Inc. (“TIM”), Thornburg Investment Trust (the “Trust”) and Thornburg Securities Corporation (“TSC”) (singularly a “Company” or together the “Companies”). Each of the Companies seeks the highest standards of ethics and conduct from its employees in all of their business relationships, and TIM hereby acknowledges its fiduciary obligations to its Investment Clients.

This Policy has been adopted by each of the Companies with the objectives of promoting honesty and integrity and preventing wrongdoing by the Companies’ employees. In particular, this Policy seeks to prevent an employee of the Company, in connection with the direct or indirect purchase or sale by that employee of Securities held or proposed to be purchased or sold by any Investment Client, from:

	(1) employing any device, scheme or artifice to defraud any Investment Client;

	(2) making any untrue statement of material fact to any Investment Client or omitting to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made to any Investment Client, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading;

	(3) engaging in any act, practice or course of business that operated or would act as a fraud or deceit on any Investment Client; or

	(4) engaging in any manipulative practice with respect to any Investment Client.

This Policy is intended to constitute the Companies’ written code of ethics as required by Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In addition, this Policy together with a separately adopted Investment Adviser Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, is intended to comprise TIM’s code of ethics described in Rule 204A-1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Any report filed under this Policy will be deemed to satisfy both Rule 17j-1 and Rule 204A-1.

Please see the Glossary of Terms for definitions of terms used in this Policy.

Prior Authorization for Securities Transactions

Any transaction for which prior authorization is received must be completed within 24 hours.

Except for those transactions listed below under “Transactions that Do Not Require Prior Authorization,” Access Persons must obtain prior authorization for all Securities transactions. Access Persons should submit each request for prior authorization through the Compliance Science system. The following types of transactions will be directed by the Compliance Science system to a Designated Compliance Officer for review:

●	Purchases of Securities distributed in an Initial Public Offering or Limited Offering.

●	Transactions involving Supervised Persons on the Prohibited List or Securities on the Prohibited List. See “Prohibited List” below.

●	Transactions involving Securities on the then-current Holdings List, unless the issuer of the Security has a market capitalization greater than $2 billion and the proposed transaction involves less than $100,000 of the issuer’s Securities. See “Holdings List” below.

The foregoing list is not exclusive, and from time to time other types of transactions may be rejected by the Compliance Science system.

The foregoing prior authorization requirements do not apply to transactions by an Independent Trustee.

Transactions that Do Not Require Prior Authorization

The following Securities transactions are exempt from the prior authorization requirements described above:

●	Purchases or sales effected in any account over which the Access Person has no direct or indirect influence or control.

●	Purchases or sales for which the Access Person does not directly or indirectly have Beneficial Ownership.

●	Purchases or sales which are non-volitional on the part of the Access Person.

The Compliance Department will maintain a list of all Securities which, within the most recent 15 days, have been held by Thornburg on behalf of its Investment Clients (the “Holdings List”).

Prohibited List

The Chief Compliance Officer, or a Compliance Officer of his/her designation, will maintain a Prohibited List.
