EX-99.(P)(III) 12 a5acmcodeofethics01022025f.htm REVISED CODE OF ETHICS 5. ACM Code of Ethics 01.02.2025 FINAL
APPENDIX H - CODE OF ETHICS
Adopted Under Rule 17j-1 and Rule 204A-1
Adopted August 1, 2009 - Revised January 2, 2025
I.STATEMENT OF POLICY
Akre Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) is confident that its supervised persons (e.g.
officers, directors, and employees) act with integrity and good faith. The Adviser recognizes,
however, that personal interests may conflict with client interests, including those of the Akre
Focus Fund (the “Mutual Fund”) and the Akre Focus ETF (the “ETF”) (both a “Fund”, collectively,
the “Funds”), when its supervised persons:
oKnow about the client’s and Fund’s present or future portfolio transactions; or
oHave the power to influence client and Fund portfolio transactions; and
oEngage in Securities transactions for their personal account(s).
In an effort to prevent any conflicts from arising and in accordance with Rule 17j-1(c)(1) under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and Rule 204A-1 under the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), the Adviser has adopted this
Code of Ethics (the “Code”) to address transactions that may create or appear to create conflicts
of interest and to establish reporting requirements and enforcement procedures.
II.ABOUT THE CODE
A.Who is covered by the Code?
All of the Adviser’s supervised persons, which includes:
All of the Adviser’s officers
All of the Adviser’s managing members or directors (or persons occupying
a similar status)
All of the Adviser’s employees
Any other person who provides investment advice on behalf of the
Adviser and is subject to the supervision and control of the Adviser (e.g.,
consultants)
B.What rules apply?
This Code sets forth specific prohibitions regarding Securities transactions. All of
the Adviser’s supervised persons are considered access persons, as defined in the
Appendix H Definitions attached hereto.  As such, the prohibitions and
restrictions contained in this Code are universally applicable. The Code also sets
out certain reporting requirements applicable to access persons.
III.GENERAL PRINCIPLES
In recognition of the trust and confidence placed in the Adviser by the Adviser’s clients, including
the Funds, and because the Adviser believes that its operations should benefit all clients and the
Funds’ shareholders, the Adviser has adopted the following universally applicable principles:
The interests of the Adviser’s clients and the Funds’ shareholders are
paramount. Client and shareholder interests must be placed before
personal interest.
All personal Securities transactions must be accomplished in a manner
that avoids conflict between a supervised person’s interest and those of
the Adviser’s clients and the Funds and their shareholders.
Supervised persons must avoid actions or activities that allow (or appear
to allow) their family to benefit from their position with the Adviser or
that bring into question their independence or judgment.
Supervised persons must comply with applicable federal securities laws.
IV.PROHIBITIONS AGAINST FRAUD, DECEIT, AND MANIPULATION
A supervised person cannot, in connection with the purchase or sale, directly or indirectly, of a
Security held or to be acquired by a client or the Funds:
Employ any device, scheme, or artifice to defraud clients or the Funds.
Make to clients or the Funds any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state to a client or the Funds a material fact necessary in order to
make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which
they are made, not misleading.
Engage in any act, practice, or course of business which would operate as
a fraud or deceit upon clients or the Funds.
Engage in any manipulative practice with respect to clients or the Funds.
V.LIMITS ON ACCEPTING OR RECEIVING GIFTS
A supervised person may not accept or receive any gift of more than de minimis value from any
person or entity in connection with a client’s or the Funds’ entry into a contract, development of
an economic relationship, or other course of dealing by or on behalf of a client or the Funds.
For purposes of this Code the term “de minimus” means a gift with a value of less than $100.
VI.INSIDER TRADING PROCEDURES
The Adviser’s Policy and Procedures to Detect and Prevent Insider Trading apply to all supervised
persons of the Adviser. To access this policy, please refer to Appendix G.
VII.RESTRICTIONS ON PERSONAL SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS
A.Except as provided below, an access person may not conduct a transaction with
respect to any Security in which such person has (or by reason of such transaction
acquires) beneficial ownership without obtaining the prior written or electronic
approval of the Adviser’s Managing Member, Compliance Officer, or designated
Adviser personnel. A sample Approval Request Form is on Attachment A of this
Appendix H.
Note: Prior approval is not required for:
1.Transactions in direct obligations of the Government of the United
States; bankers’ acceptances, bank certificates of deposit, commercial
paper, and high-quality short-term debt instruments, including
repurchase agreements; or shares issued by registered open-end funds
(other than reportable funds and exchange traded funds);
2.Purchases or sales that are non-volitional on the part of the access person
such as purchases or acquisitions arising from stock dividends, dividend
reinvestments, stock splits, mergers, consolidations, tender offers, or
exercise of rights;
3.Purchases or sales pursuant to an automatic investment plan; and
4.Transactions effected in any account over which the access person has
no direct or indirect influence or control (e.g., blind trust, discretionary
account, or trust managed by a third party) provided that (a) the access
person obtains approval of the Compliance Officer that the account
qualifies as a non-control account and (b) the access person provides a
certification that the access person has no direct or indirect influence or
control over the account at time of the initial request for approval and
quarterly thereafter (each such account, a “Non-Control Account”).
Upon approval, an executed copy of an Approval Request Form or equivalent
must be provided by the access person to the Adviser’s trader. In all instances,
the Adviser’s Portfolio Manager must be notified of the pre-clearance request
and approval and the Securities to which such request relates. Approvals for
transactions are valid only for the trading day on which they are granted.
B.An access person cannot purchase or sell, directly or indirectly, any Security in
which such person has (or by reason of such transaction acquires) any beneficial
ownership on the same day as the same (or a related) Security is being purchased
or sold or is being considered for purchase or sale by a client or the Funds. The
Adviser’s trader must notify the Compliance Officer when a client order for a
Security in which an access person has been pre-cleared to trade on that day is
submitted to the trader.
Notwithstanding the above, it shall not be a violation of the Code if an
access person purchases or sells shares of the Funds after obtaining pre-clearance
for the transaction, as required under section VII (A) above of the Code, on the
same day as a Security for the Funds is being purchased or sold or is being
considered for purchase or sale by a client of the Adviser.
C.Pre-Approval of Investments in IPOs and Limited Offerings:
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, an access person must
obtain written or electronic approval from the Managing Member, CEO,
Compliance Officer, or designated Adviser personnel before acquiring beneficial
ownership of any Securities in an initial public offering or a limited offering. (For
such transactions by the Managing Member or CEO, the Compliance Officer must
pre-approve the transaction. For such transactions by the Compliance Officer,
the CEO or Managing Member must pre-approve the transaction.)
VIII.REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
All access persons must comply with the reporting requirements set forth in this Code.
IX.REVIEW AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE ADVISER’S CODE
A.Appointment of a Review Officer
The Chief Compliance Officer shall be the Review Officer and shall perform the
duties described in Section B below. The CCO will provide the name of the Review
Officer to each access person at the time each such person becomes an access
person.
B.The Review Officer’s Duties and Responsibilities
The Review Officer shall notify each person who becomes an access
person of the reporting obligations under this Code at the time such
person becomes an access person.
The Review Officer will, on a quarterly basis, compare all approved pre-
clearance requests and personal Securities transactions reported
pursuant to this Code with the completed Securities transactions of the
Adviser’s clients and a list of Securities being considered for purchase or
sale by the Adviser, to determine whether a Code violation may have
occurred. Before determining that an access person has violated the
Code, the Review Officer must give the access person an opportunity to
supply explanatory material.
If the Review Officer determines that a Code violation has or may have
occurred, the Review Officer must submit the determination, together
with the confidential quarterly report and any explanatory material
provided by the person, to the Managing Member or CEO. The Managing
Member or CEO and Review Officer will determine whether the access
person violated the Code.
No access person is required to participate in a determination of whether
he or she has committed a Code violation or discuss the imposition of any
sanction against himself or herself.
The Review Officer will request pre-clearance for Securities transactions
and report on a quarterly basis his or her own Securities transactions to
an Alternate Review Officer, which Alternate Review Officer shall
otherwise fulfill the duties of the Review Officer with respect to such
activities.
C.Resolutions; Sanction(s)
If an access person has violated the Code, the Review Officer will approve a
proposed resolution of the situation or, if appropriate and in consultation with
the Managing Member or CEO, impose upon the person sanctions that the
Review Officer deems appropriate and will report the violation and the resolution
and/or sanction imposed to the Funds’ Board of Trustees at the next regularly
scheduled board meeting unless, in the sole discretion of the Managing Member
or CEO, circumstances warrant an earlier report. If the Review Officer believes
that the Managing Member or CEO has violated the Code, the Review Officer shall
confer with the Adviser’s legal counsel.
X.ANNUAL WRITTEN REPORT TO THE BOARD
At least once a year, the Adviser will provide to the Funds’ Board of Trustees a written report that
includes the following.
Issues Arising Under the Code: The report will describe any issue(s) that
arose during the previous year under the Code or procedures thereto,
including any material Code or procedural violation(s) and any resulting
sanction(s); and
Certification and Adoption: The report will certify to the Board that the
Adviser has adopted measures reasonably necessary to prevent its access
persons from violating the Code.

XIV.PART A - OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND EMPLOYEES

Each access person must submit to the Review Officer a listing of all Securities
beneficially owned by such person within 10 days of the date such person first
becomes an access person of the Adviser. The information contained in the report
must be current as of a date no more than 45 days prior to the date the person
becomes an access person. A sample Initial Holdings Report is attached as

Officer a report disclosing the Securities such person beneficially owned as of
December 31st of the previous calendar year. The report must contain the same
information as the Initial Holdings Report. A sample Annual Holdings Report Form is
attached as Attachment B2 to this Appendix H, and the report may also be completed
electronically.
Note: The Adviser will, on behalf of each access person, maintain information
with respect to such person’s beneficial ownership of any interest or limited
partnerships or similar entities managed by the Adviser.
C.Required Transaction Reports
Quarterly Transaction Reports and Accounts Established
oOn a quarterly basis, each access person must report transactions in
Securities as well as any Security accounts established during the
quarter. Such person must submit his or her report to the Review
Officer no later than 10 days after the end of the calendar quarter in
which the transaction to which the report relates was effected or an
account was established. A Sample Quarterly Personal Securities
Transactions Report Form is included as Attachment C to this
Appendix H, and the report may also be completed electronically.
oIf an access person had no reportable transactions or did not open
any Security accounts during the quarter, such person is still required
to submit a report. Please note on the report that there were no
reportable transactions during the quarter, and return it, signed and
dated.
oRemember: Access persons of the Adviser are not required to report
their transactions under the Funds’ code of ethics if they are required
to file reports under this Code.
What Securities Transactions and Accounts are Covered Under the
Quarterly Reporting Obligations?
Each access person must report all transactions in Securities in which
such person had or acquired any direct or indirect beneficial ownership.
The report must contain the following information:
oThe date of the transaction, the title, the interest rate, maturity date
(if applicable), the number of shares, and the principal amount of
each Security;
oThe nature of the transaction (i.e., purchase, sale, or any other type
of acquisition or disposition);
oThe price of the Security at which the transaction was effected;
oThe name of the broker, dealer, or bank with or through which the

oThe date the report is submitted.
Each access person must also report any account such person established in
which Securities were held for such person’s direct or indirect benefit (i.e.,
beneficial ownership) during the quarter. The report must contain the
following information:
oThe name of the broker, dealer, or bank with whom such person
established the account;
oThe date the account was established; and
oThe date the report is submitted.
What Securities Transactions May Be Excluded from the Report?
An access person is not required to detail or list the following Securities or
transactions on such person’s report:
oPurchases or sales effected for any Non-Control Account.

automatic payroll deduction plan, where such person purchases
Securities issued by his or her employer.
oPurchases arising from the exercise of rights issued by an issuer pro
rata to all holders of a class of its Securities, as long as such person
acquired these rights from the issuer, and sales of such rights so
acquired.
oPurchases or sales which are non-volitional on the part of the person,
including purchases or sales upon exercise of puts or calls written by
the person and sales from a margin account to a bona fide margin
call.
An access person may include a statement in such person’s report that
the report shall not be construed as his or her admission that he or she
has any direct or indirect beneficial ownership in the Security included in
the report.
Alternate Transaction Reporting
In lieu of providing the transaction reports set forth above, access
persons may direct their brokers to supply the Review Officer on a timely
basis (i.e., so that the Adviser receives the information no later than 10
days after the end of the applicable calendar quarter), duplicate copies
of confirmations and monthly/quarterly brokerage statements for all
Securities transactions; provided that such confirmation and statements
contain the information required to be reported in the transaction
reports. If an access person elects to comply with the transaction
reporting requirements of the Code using this alternate transaction
reporting method, the access person must certify quarterly in writing that
the duplicate confirmations and statements reflect all reportable
transaction activity by the access person during the period and that any
new brokerage accounts have been disclosed.
Definitions
Access person means any supervised person of the Adviser who (a) has access to
nonpublic information regarding any client’s purchase or sale of securities or nonpublic
information regarding the portfolio holdings of any reportable fund, or (b) is involved in
making securities recommendations to clients, or who has access to such
recommendations that are nonpublic.
Automatic investment plan means a program in which regular periodic purchases (or
withdrawals) are made automatically in (or from) investment accounts in accordance with
a predetermined schedule and allocation, including a dividend reinvestment plan.
Beneficial ownership means ownership by any person who, directly or indirectly, through
any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise, has or shares a
direct or indirect financial interest, other than the receipt of an advisory fee. Beneficial
ownership of an account or Security by an access person includes ownership of an
account or Security by:
oThe access person’s spouse (other than a legally separated or divorced spouse of
the person) and minor children;
oAny immediate family member who lives in the access person’s household,
including stepchildren, grandchildren, parents, stepparents, grandparents,
brothers, sisters, parents-in-law, sons-in-laws, daughters-in-law, brothers-in-law,
sisters-in-law, and adoptive relationships;
oAny persons to whom the access person provides primary financial support and
either (i) whose financial affairs the access person controls or (ii) for whom the
access person provides discretionary advisory services; and
oAny partnership, corporation, or other entity of which the access person has a
25% or greater interest or exercises effective control (provided, however, that
the following entities are not deemed to be beneficially owned by an access
person: Braddock Partners, LP; Braddock Partners Offshore, Ltd.; and Braddock
Partners Offshore, LP).
Control means the same as it does under in Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. Section 2(a)(9)
provides that "control" means the power to exercise a controlling influence over the
management or policies of a company, unless such power is solely the result of an official
position with such company. Ownership of more than 25% of a company's outstanding
voting securities is presumed to give the holder of such securities control over the
company. This presumption may be countered by the facts and circumstances of a given
situation.
Federal securities laws mean the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Investment Company Act of 1940, the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, any rules adopted
by the Securities and Exchange Commission under any of these statutes, the Bank Secrecy
Act as it applies to funds and investment advisers, and any rules adopted thereunder.
Initial public offering (IPO) means an offering of securities registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, the issuer of which, immediately before registration, was not subject to the
reporting requirements of section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.
Limited offering means an offering that is exempt from registration under the Securities
Act of 1933 pursuant to section 4(2) or section 4(6) in the Securities Act of 1933 or
pursuant to Rule 504, Rule 505 or Rule 506 there under.
Managing Member means the managing member of Akre Capital Management, LLC.
Purchase or sale of a Security includes, among other things, the writing of an option to
purchase or sell a Security.
Reportable funds means any investment company registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 for which the Adviser serves as investment adviser or any fund
whose investment adviser or principal underwriter controls the Adviser, is controlled by
the Adviser, or is under common control with the Adviser.
Security means the same as it does under Section 2(a)(36) of the 1940 Act, except that it
does not include direct obligations of the U.S. Government or its agencies, bankers'
acceptances, bank certificates of deposit, commercial paper, high quality short-term debt
instruments, including repurchase agreements, and shares issued by open-end funds,
other than reportable funds and exchange traded funds. This is a very broad definition of
security. It includes most kinds of investment instruments, including things that you might
not ordinarily think of as “securities,” such as:
oCryptocurrency;
oShares issued by reportable funds and exchange-traded funds;
oFutures contracts and options on securities, indexes, and currencies;
oInvestments in all kinds of limited partnerships;
oInvestments in foreign unit trusts and foreign mutual funds; and
oInvestments in private investment funds and hedge funds.
If you have any question or doubt about whether an investment is considered a
Security under this Code, ask the Compliance Officer.
A Security held or to be acquired by a client or the Funds means:
oAny Security that, within the most recent 15 days, is or has been held by a client
or the Funds, or is being or has been considered by the Adviser for purchase by a
client or the Funds; and
oAny option to purchase or sell, and any Security convertible into or exchangeable
for any Security described above in the first bullet above.
A Security is being purchased or sold by a client or the Funds from the time a
purchase or sale program has been communicated to the person who places buy and sell
orders for the Funds until the program has been fully completed or terminated.
A Security is being considered for purchase or sale by a Fund when a Security is
identified as such by the Adviser.
A supervised person means any managing member, partner, officer, director (or other
person occupying a similar status or performing similar functions), or employee of the
Adviser, or other person who provides investment advice on behalf of the Adviser and is
subject to the supervision and control of the Adviser. The Adviser may deem other
individuals or entities, including temporary workers, independent contractors, and
consultants, as supervised persons and require those persons to comply with this Code.
Any such person with access to confidential or non-public information or who may have
access to the Adviser’s systems that contain information about current portfolio holdings
or transactions will be deemed an access person hereunder.
