WSP 2 Code of Ethics as required by Rule 204A-1

WSP 2.1 Preamble

This Code of Ethics is being adopted in compliance with the requirements of Rule 17j-1 (the "Rule") adopted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"), and Sections 204A and 206 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”), specifically Rule 204-2 there-under, to effectuate the purposes and objectives of those provisions. Section 204A of the Advisers Act requires the establishment and enforcement of policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent the misuse of material, nonpublic information by the investment adviser. Rule 204-2 imposes recordkeeping requirements with respect to personal securities transactions of advisory representatives (defined below). Rule 17j-1 of the Investment Company Act and Section 206 of the Advisers Act make the following activities unlawful for certain persons, including any employee of C.S. McKee, L.P. (the “Firm”) in connection with the purchase or sale by such person of a security held or to be acquired by any Portfolio or any Fund managed by the Firm:

1.     

To employ a device, scheme or artifice to defraud a Portfolio, a Fund, any client or prospective client;


2.     

To make to a Portfolio, a Fund, any client or prospective client, any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading;


3.     

To engage in any act, practice or course of business which operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon a Portfolio, a Fund, any client or prospective client; or


4.     

Acting as principal for his/her own account, knowingly to sell any security to or purchase any security from a client, or acting as a broker for a person other than such client, knowingly to effect any sale or purchase of any security for the account of such client, without disclosing to such client in writing before the completion of such transaction the capacity in which he/she is acting and obtaining the consent of the client to such transaction. The prohibitions of this paragraph (4) shall not apply to any transaction with a customer of a bank broker or dealer if such broker or dealer is not acting as an investment adviser in relation to such transaction; or


5.     

To engage in any act, practice, or course of business that is fraudulent, deceptive or manipulative.


This Code contains provisions reasonably necessary to prevent persons from engaging in acts in violation of the above standard and procedures reasonably necessary to prevent violations of the Code. In addition, this

C.S. McKee, L.P.                    Page 11


code provides for Safeguarding of client assets from conversion or inappropriate use by advisory personnel according to Rule 206(4)-7.

McKee’s standard of business conduct (Code) requires that supervised employees of the firm comply with all federal, state, and local securities laws.

The Executive Committee of the Firm adopts this Code of Ethics. This Code is based upon the principle that the Executive Committee members and officers of the Firm, and certain affiliated persons of the Firm, owe a fiduciary duty to, among others, the clients of the Firm to conduct their affairs, including their personal securities transactions, in such a manner as to avoid (i) serving their own personal interests ahead of clients; (ii) taking inappropriate advantage of their position with the Firm; and (iii) any actual or potential conflicts of interest or any abuse of their position of trust and responsibility. This fiduciary duty includes the duty of the Compliance Officer of the Firm to report violations of this Code of Ethics to the Firm's Executive Committee and to the Board of Directors of any Fund of advised or sub-advised by the Firm.

WSP 2.2 Policy Statement on Insider Trading

The Firm forbids any officer, Executive Committee member or employee from trading, either personally or on behalf of others, including accounts managed by the Firm, on material nonpublic information or communicating material nonpublic information to others in violation of the law. This conduct is frequently referred to as "insider trading." The Firm's policy applies to every officer, Executive Committee member and employee and extends to activities within and outside their duties at the Firm. Any questions regarding the Firm's policy and procedures should be referred to the Compliance Officer.

The term "insider trading" is not defined in the federal securities laws, but generally is used to refer to the use of material nonpublic information to trade in securities (whether or not one is an "insider") or to communications of material nonpublic information to others.

While the law concerning insider trading is not static, it is generally understood that the law prohibits:

1.     

trading by an insider, while in possession of material nonpublic information, or


2.     

trading by a non-insider, while in possession of material nonpublic information, where the information either was disclosed to the non-insider in violation of an insider's duty to keep it confidential or was misappropriated, or

3.     

communicating material nonpublic information to others.


C.S. McKee, L.P.                    Page 12


The concept of "insider" is broad. It includes officers, Executive Committee members and employees of a company. In addition, a person can be a "temporary insider" if he or she enters into a special confidential relationship in the conduct of a company's affairs and as a result is given access to information solely for the company's purposes. A temporary insider can include, among others, a company's attorneys, accountants, consultants, bank lending officers, and the employees of such organizations. In addition, the Firm may become a temporary insider of a company it advises or for which it performs other services. For that to occur the company must expect the Firm to keep the disclosed nonpublic information confidential and the relationship must at least imply such a duty before the Firm will be considered an insider.

Trading on inside information is not a basis for liability unless the information is material. "Material information" generally is defined as information for which there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would consider it important in making his or her investment decisions, or information that is reasonably certain to have a substantial effect on the price of a company's securities. Information that officers, Executive Committee members and employees should consider material includes, but is not limited to: dividend changes, earnings estimates, changes in previously released earnings estimates, significant merger or acquisition proposals or agreements, major litigation, liquidation problems, and extraordinary management developments.

Information is nonpublic until it has been effectively communicated to the market place. One must be able to point to some fact to show that the information is generally public. For example, information found in a report filed with the SEC, or appearing in Dow Jones, Reuters Economic Services, The Wall Street Journal or other publications of general circulation would be considered public.

Before trading for yourself or others in the securities of a company about which you may have potential inside information, ask yourself the following questions:

i.     

Is the information material? Is this information that an investor would consider important in making his or her investment decisions? Is this information that would substantially affect the market price of the securities if generally disclosed?


ii.     

Is the information nonpublic? To whom has this information been provided? Has the information been effectively communicated to the marketplace?


If, after consideration of the above, you believe that the information is material and nonpublic, or if you have questions as to whether the information is material and nonpublic, you should take the following steps.

i.     

Report the matter immediately to the Firm’s Compliance Officer.


ii.     

Do not purchase or sell the securities on behalf of yourself or others.


C.S. McKee, L.P.                    Page 13


iii.     

Do not communicate the information inside or outside the Firm, other than to the Firm’s Compliance Officer.


iv.     

After the Firm’s Compliance Officer has reviewed the issue, you will be instructed to continue the prohibitions against trading and communication, or you will be allowed to trade and communicate the information.


Information in your possession that you identify as material and nonpublic may not be communicated to anyone, including persons within the Firm, except as provided above. In addition, care should be taken so that such information is secure. For example, files containing material nonpublic information should be sealed; access to computer files containing material nonpublic information should be restricted.

The role of the Firm’s Compliance Officer is critical to the implementation and maintenance of the Firms policy and procedures against insider trading. The Firm's Supervisory Procedures can be divided into two classifications - prevention of insider trading and detection of insider trading.

To prevent insider trading, the Firm will:

i.     

provide, on a regular basis, information necessary to familiarize officers, Executive Committee members and employees with the Firm's policy and procedures, and


ii.     

when it has been determined that an officer, Executive Committee member or employee of the Firm has material nonpublic information,

1.     

implement measures to prevent dissemination of such information, and


2.     

if necessary, restrict officers, Executive Committee members and employees from trading the securities.


To detect insider trading, a Compliance Officer will:

i.     

review the trading activity reports filed by each officer, Executive Committee member and employee, and


ii.     

review the trading activity of accounts managed by the Firm.


WSP 2.3 Restricted List

The Head trader emails the Chief Compliance Officer when a trade is currently underway. These emails are referenced when the CCO is asked to pre-approve a personal trade for an employee.

C.S. McKee, L.P.                    Page 14


WSP 2.4 Prohibited Transactions

No access person or advisory representative shall engage in any act, practice or course of conduct, which would violate the provisions of Rule 17j-1 of the Investment Company Act or Section 206 of the Investment Advisers Act as set forth above.

WSP 2.4.1 Access Persons

Except as provided in WSP 2.5 below, no access person shall:

purchase or sell, directly or indirectly, any security in which he/she has or by reason of such transaction acquires, any direct or indirect beneficial ownership and which to his/her actual knowledge at the time of such purchase or sale:

(a)     

is being considered for purchase or sale by any Portfolio or Fund managed by the Firm, or


(a)     

is being purchased or sold by any Portfolio or Fund managed by the Firm; or


(a)     

disclose to other persons the securities activities engaged in or contemplated for the various Portfolios or Funds managed by the Firm.

(a)     

acquire a beneficial interest in any securities in an initial public offering ("IPO") or other limited offerings commonly referred to as private placements.

(a)     

accept or give any gift or other thing of more than de minimus value from any person or entity that does business with or on behalf of the Firm. For purposes of this Code, “de minimus” shall be considered to be the annual receipt of gifts from the same source valued at $500 or less per individual recipient, when the gifts are in relation to the Firm’s business.


(a)     

profit in the purchase and sale, or sale and purchase, of the same (or equivalent) securities within sixty (60) calendar days. Trades made in violation of this prohibition should be unwound, if possible. Otherwise, any profits realized on such short-term trades shall be subject to disgorgement to the appropriate Portfolio(s) or Fund(s) of the Firm.


a.     

Exception: The compliance officer of the Firm may allow exceptions to this policy on a case-by-case basis when the abusive practices that the policy is designed to prevent, such as front running or conflicts of interest, are not present and the equity of the situation


C.S. McKee, L.P.                    Page 15


strongly supports an exemption. An example is the involuntary sale of securities due to unforeseen corporate activity such as a merger. [See Pre-Clearance Procedures below]. The ban on short-term trading profits is specifically designed to deter potential conflicts of interest and front running transactions, which typically involve a quick trading pattern to capitalize on a short-lived market impact of a trade by one of the Funds or Portfolios. The respective compliance officer shall consider the policy reasons for the ban on short-term trades, as stated herein, in determining when an exception to the prohibition is permissible. The compliance officer may consider granting an exception to this prohibition if the securities involved in the transaction are not (i) being considered for purchase or sale by a Fund or Portfolio that serves as the basis of the individual's "investment personnel" status or (ii) being purchased or sold by a Fund or Portfolio that serves as the basis of the individual's "investment personnel" status and, are not economically related to such securities. In order for a proposed transaction to be considered for exemption from the short-term trading prohibitions, the investment personnel must include documentation of trades completed within 60 days of the proposed trade. The compliance officer shall retain a record of exceptions granted and the reasons supporting the decision.

7.     

Serve on the Board of Directors of any publicly traded company without prior authorization of the compliance officer of the Firm. Any such authorization shall be based upon a determination that the board service would be consistent with the interests of the Firm, any Portfolios or Funds. Authorization of board service shall be subject to the implementation by the Firm of "Chinese Wall" or other procedures to isolate such investment personnel from making decisions about trading in that company's securities. Notification of such directorships shall be made to the compliance officer of the Funds.


8.     

buy or sell a security from the time the investment committee approves the transaction to two (2) calendar days after any portfolio of the Firm trades in that security. Any trades made within the proscribed period shall be unwound, if possible. Otherwise, any profits realized on trades within the proscribed period shall be disgorged to the appropriate client portfolio.


The Chief Compliance Officer relies on the Head Trader and/or Portfolio manager to notify him/her of securities in play so that the CCO can prevent employees from trading in the same securities.

C.S. McKee, L.P.                    Page 16


WSP 2.4.2 Registered Broker Representatives

In addition to the prohibitions listed in Section WSP 2.4.1 above, no registered broker representative shall engage in any of the following:

·     

accept or give any gift or other thing of more than de minimus value from any person or entity that does business with or on behalf of the Firm. For purposes of this Code, “de minimus” shall be considered to be the annual receipt of gifts from the same source valued at $100 or less per individual recipient per year, when the gifts are in relation to the Firm’s Mutual Fund Business.


WSP 2.5 Exempted Transactions

Transactions described in WSP 2.4.1 above, which appear upon reasonable inquiry and investigation to present no reasonable likelihood of harm to a Fund or Portfolio and which are otherwise transacted in accordance with Investment Company Act Rule 17j-1 and Section 206 of the Investment Company Act may be permitted within the discretion of the compliance officer of the Firm on a case-by-case basis. Such exempted transactions may include:

1.     

purchases or sales of securities which are not eligible for purchase by a Fund or Portfolio and which are not related economically to securities purchased, sold or held by the Fund or a Portfolio.


2.     

securities of companies with a market capitalization in excess of $1 billion.


3.     

purchases or sales of a de minimus amount of securities. A de minimus amount of securities shall be defined in this section of the Code of Ethics as:


4.     

up to an aggregate $25,000 principal amount of a fixed income security within any three-consecutive month period;


5.     

up to an aggregate 100 shares of an equity security within any three-consecutive month period; or


6.     

any amount of securities if the proposed acquisition or disposition by a Fund or Portfolio is in the amount of 100 shares or less and the security is listed on a national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System.

7.     

Securities which the access person, Fund and/or Portfolio has no influence or control, including:


·     

purchases or sales effected in any account over which the access person has no direct or indirect influence or control;


C.S. McKee, L.P.                    Page 17


·     

purchases or sales which are non-volitional on the part of either the access person or the Fund and/or Portfolio;


·     

purchases which are part of an automatic dividend reinvestment plan or direct stock plan (pending pre-clearance of the original purchase); and


·     

securities acquired by the exercise of rights issued pro rata by an issuer to all holders of a class of its securities (to the extent such rights were acquired from such issuer), and sales of such rights so acquired.


·     

Holdings in direct obligations of the U.S. government, bankers’ acceptances, bank certificates of deposit, and registered open-end investment companies (unless sub-advised by McKee).


WSP 2.6 Compliance Procedures with regards to Personal Trading

With respect to the pre-clearance and reporting requirements contained herein, access persons shall pre-clear through and report to the compliance officer of the Firm.

WSP 2.6.1 Pre-clearance Procedures

All access persons should receive prior written approval from the Firm’s compliance officer, or other officer designated by the Executive Committee, before purchasing or selling securities in an account that such access person has beneficial ownership. The access person should request pre-clearance by completing, signing and submitting Personal Securities Transactions Pre-Clearance Form (Exhibit D) to the designated individual.

Pre-clearance approval will expire at the close of business on the trading date two (2) business days after the date on which authorization is received. For example, pre-clearance received Friday at 9:00 a.m. would expire as of the close of business Monday. If the trade is not completed before such pre-clearance expires, the access person is required to again obtain pre-clearance for the trade. In addition, if an access person becomes aware of any additional information with respect to a transaction that was pre-cleared, such person is obligated to disclose such information to the designated person prior to executing the pre-cleared transaction.

Access persons are excluded from pre-clearing securities purchased, sold or acquired in the following transactions:

(a)     

purchases or sales affected in any account over which the access person has no direct or indirect influence or control.


(b)     

purchases or sales which are non-volitional on the part of either the access person or a Fund or Portfolio.


C.S. McKee, L.P.                    Page 18


(c)     

purchases which are part of an automatic dividend reinvestment plan or direct stock plan (pending pre-clearance of the original purchase).


(d)     

securities acquired by the exercise of rights issued pro rata by an issuer to all holders of a class of its securities, to the extent such rights were acquired from such issuer, and sales of such rights so acquired.


(e)     

holdings in direct obligations of the U.S. government, bankers’ acceptances, bank certificates of deposit, commercial paper, high quality short-term debt instruments and registered open-end investment companies are not disclosed transactions.


Exceptions: In the event that no Compliance officials and/or Designated Persons are available to pre-clear (traveling, busy, etc.), employees will be allowed to place a trade if they are certain that it has not violated the spirit of our Code of Ethics. In any case, the Designated Person must sign and date the pre-clearance form in a reasonable time-frame after the trade is placed and will be responsible for making sure that the trade did not violate the rules and spirit of this Code. This exception does NOT apply to IPO’s and/or Private Placements.

WSP 2.6.2 Disclosure of Personal Holdings

(a)     

all personal securities holdings (including securities acquired before the person became an access person) within ten (10) days upon the later of commencement of employment or adoption of this Code of Ethics; and

(a)     

the compliance officer of the Firm has collected all documentation required by the Code of Ethics and Rule 17j-1 and is retaining such documentation on behalf of the Fund;

there have been no violations to the Fund's Code of Ethics and, if there have been violations to the Fund's Code of Ethics, the violation has been documented and reported to the Fund's compliance officer; and


C.S. McKee, L.P.                    Page 21


(c)     

the Firm has appointed appropriate management or compliance personnel, such as the compliance officer, to review transactions and reports filed by access persons under the Code of Ethics, and adopted procedures reasonably necessary to prevent Access Persons from violating the Firm's Code of Ethics.


Each quarter the compliance officer of the Firm shall also provide to the compliance officer of each Fund a list of access persons who are subject to the Fund's Code of Ethics and the name of the compliance officer of the Firm responsible for pre-clearing and reviewing personal securities transactions.

The compliance officer of the Firm shall provide such information, including, but not limited to, initial, quarterly and annual reports for all access persons, pre-clearance reports and approval for Short-term transactions, IPO and private placement securities, as is requested by the Fund's compliance officer.

WSP 2.6.6 General Reporting Requirements

The compliance officer of the Firm shall notify each access person that he or she is subject to this Code of Ethics and the reporting requirements contained herein, and shall deliver a copy of this Code of Ethics to each such person when they become an access person, or upon request.

Reports submitted pursuant to this Code of Ethics shall be confidential and shall be provided only to the officers and Executive Committee of the Firm and each Fund, counsel and/or regulatory authorities upon appropriate request.

WSP 2.6.7 Excessive Trading

The Firm understands that it is appropriate for access persons to participate in the public securities markets as part of their overall personal investment programs. As in other areas, however, this should be done in a way that creates no potential conflicts with the interests of any Fund or Portfolio. Further, it is important to recognize that otherwise appropriate trading, if excessive (measured in terms of frequency, complexity of trading programs, numbers of trades or other measure as deemed appropriate by the Fund's compliance officer, compliance officer of the Firm, or senior management at the Firm), may compromise the best interests of any Funds or Portfolios if such excessive trading is conducted during work-time or using Fund/Portfolio resources. Accordingly, if personal trading rising to such dimension as to create an environment that is not

C.S. McKee, L.P.                    Page 22


consistent with the Code of Ethics, such personal transactions may not be approved or may be limited by the compliance officer of the Firm.

WSP 2.6.8 Conflict of Interest

Every access person, shall notify the compliance officer of the Firm of any personal conflict of interest relationship which may involve a Fund or Portfolio, such as the existence of any economic relationship between their transactions and securities held or to be acquired by any Portfolio or Fund. The Firm’s compliance officer shall notify the compliance officer of a Fund of any personal conflict of interest relationship which may involve the Fund. Such notification shall occur in the pre-clearance process.

WSP 2.6.9 Investing in Mutual Funds and/or Collective Trusts that we sub-advise.

·     

All Employees of McKee must pre-approve any sub-advised mutual fund or collective/pooled fund trades with the Compliance staff.


·     

If you are aware of any material inflows/outflows (inside information) into any fund or collective that we manage or sub-advise, you may not initiate personal trades in these funds until two business days after raising/investing the flow.


·     

Neither of the restrictions above include automatic investments via payroll deduction and/or reinvestment of dividends which are exempt.


WSP 2.7 Reporting of Violations to the Executive Committee.

Rule 204 (A)-1 requires that all employees report violations of the Code of Ethics to the Chief Compliance Officer of the Firm.

The Chief Compliance Officer of the Firm shall promptly report to the compliance officer of the Fund and the Executive Committee of the Firm all apparent violations of this Code of Ethics and the reporting requirements there under.

When the compliance officer of the Firm finds that a transaction otherwise reportable to the Executive Committee pursuant to the Code could not reasonably be found to have resulted in a fraud, deceit or manipulative practice in violation of Rule 17j-1(a), he/she may, in his/her discretion, lodge a written memorandum of such finding and the reasons therefore with the reports made pursuant to this Code of Ethics,

C.S. McKee, L.P.                    Page 23


in lieu of reporting the transaction to the Executive Committee. Such findings shall, however, be reported to the compliance officer of any respective Funds.

The Executive Committee of the Firm or any Fund, or a Committee of Directors created by such Executive Committee for that purpose, shall consider reports made to the Executive Committee hereunder and shall determine whether or not this Code of Ethics has been violated and what sanctions, if any, should be imposed.

WSP 3 Monitoring Client Investment Guidelines

WSP 3.1 The Review Process.

WSP 3.1.1 Equity Restrictions

In order to effectively track investment restrictions according to our client’s investment policies, C.S. McKee uses an internal electronic account management system, SS&C Model/Trade, combined with an outside data source, Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS), to screen account activity. The SVP of Equities or CIO can override ISS recommendations if we feel that it is categorized improperly.

ISS Corporation provides a customized screen on a monthly basis to C.S. McKee that automatically updates our database and alerts us to companies that violate various environmental, social or governance issues. Common client restrictions include avoidance of alcohol, tobacco, firearms, weapons, environmental Issues, and human rights violations.

These investment restrictions are coded in our compliance module and can be established across the board on an industry or security level, or on an individual client basis to include multiple restrictions. In addition, these same restrictions are kept on a spreadsheet, located on our servers, and maintained by the Equity Portfolio Managers to assist with their quarterly reviews.

Trades in client portfolios are generated in the SS&C Model system and sent electronically to the trading desk. At the time the trade is created, the system automatically runs a compliance screen and excludes prohibited securities from being traded on an account by account basis.

All compliance will be handled by Charles River Compliance Module starting in 2010 for all products.

WSP 3.1.2 Fixed Income Restrictions

Fixed income uses a manual process to check investment restrictions on a client’s portfolio. In addition to managing the client’s product to a target weight (at the security type level), they review an excel spreadsheet anytime they need to trade to make sure the client can own a certain position. McKee is currently implementing Charles River Compliance (Scheduled Live is December 2009) which will automate this function for the fixed income group.

C.S. McKee, L.P.                    Page 33


WSP 3.2 The Review Schedule

WSP 3.2.1 Investment Policies

·     

Investment policies are reviewed at the (1) inception of the account, or (2) the policy is changed by the client. Any restrictions are placed in either the fixed income excel sheet or equity electronic compliance modules (SS&C). All compliance will be handled by Charles River Compliance Module starting in 2010 for all products.


WSP 3.2.2 Allocations

·     

Equity Portfolio Managers receive an Allocation report via email on a daily basis and reviewed manually. Charles River Compliance module will automate this process in 2010 by issuing alerts and warnings.


·     

The Client Liaison reviews client allocations on a quarterly basis.


WSP 3.2.3 Restrictions (Will be handled by Charles River in 2010)

·     

Restrictions are coded into our compliance module to assist with real-time pre-trade screening for our equity accounts.


·     

Additional restrictions are entered into our warehouse and reported on the Allocation report that is reviewed by our Equity Portfolio Managers.


·     

The Client Liaison reviews client portfolio’s on a quarterly basis.


·     

The fixed income department monitors restrictions through the use of their excel spreadsheet.


WSP 3.2.4 Performance

·     

The Client Liaison reviews client performance on a quarterly basis.


·     

The Executive Committee and CCO receive a performance outlier report on a monthly basis.


WSP 3.3 New Client Procedures

McKee’s New Asset Manager has overall responsibility in tracking the process from beginning to end.

C.S. McKee, L.P.                    Page 34


At a minimum, the following documents must be received, reviewed, and/or approved by our portfolio managers before we can invest a client’s funds.

·     

Management Agreement


·     

Investment Policy


·     

W9


·     

Client Liaison Internal Memo


The Operations staff must complete the following before trading in a New Account.

·     

Receive settlement instructions from custodian.


·     

Receive and reconcile a certified asset list from custodian.


·     

Review the internal memo from the Clients Liaison.


The overall procedures are extremely detailed and each member of our staff is responsible for setting up our clients in the appropriate databases (Alert, Client Management Database, Order Management System, Performance System, etc.)

The final step involves a post-settlement reconciliation and final sign off by Operations on the internal memo received by the Client Liaison.

WSP 3.4 Changes to Existing Client’s Guidelines

As a matter of communication, Client Liaisons are responsible for communicating any changes to a Client’s investment policy and/or guidelines via an internal client memo.

WSP 3.5 Cash Flows

McKee utilizes a third party to collect holdings and transactions from among the 70 custodians that hold our clients accounts. In addition to assisting with the reconciliation process, it is also used as a tool to notify us of cash flows. If the client has not already communicated a significant cash flow, we will ask the consultant and/or client if the flow is correct before investing or in the case of a withdrawal, raising cash.

C.S. McKee, L.P.                    Page 35


WSP 4 Trading Policies

WSP 4.1 Best Execution

Brokers are chosen for trades based upon the following considerations but not limited to:

(a)     

Knowledge of the local market and/or the specific security being traded


(b)     

Liquidity of the security

(c)     

Ability to achieve best execution including, but not limited to, best price, low commission and market impact costs

(d)     

Ability to accurately follow instructions


Generally, our portfolio managers/traders have discretion, without approval, to select any broker based upon the above criteria.

Current Equity broker list is maintained by our Head Trader.

(See WSP 4.5 Trading Review Policy).

WSP 4.2 Allocation Policies

WSP 4.2.1 Equity

C.S. McKee groups client accounts in several ways during the process of buying or selling equity securities, namely discretionary brokerage, directed brokerage, model and wrap. These groups may have different execution prices as trade order is generally rotated in a random fashion among the groups.

Trades are blocked for discretionary accounts. Following execution, shares are allocated based upon a percentage of the original share order or allocated randomly to individual accounts.

The order placement for directed accounts are generally rotated on a random basis, and the trading desk will place a trade with one broker then move randomly through the list after each order is executed.

McKee has procedures in place to review the performance of all accounts to make sure they do not deviate significantly from our composite.

C.S. McKee, L.P.                    Page 36


WSP 4.2.2 Fixed Income

Because nearly all of our clients are discretionary, each account will receive a pro-rata allocation of the trade. Careful attention is given to the sector and duration bands when using substitute securities due to client restrictions.

We monitor more than 30 inventory lists in making purchase decisions. If selling into the market, we typically solicit bids from 3-5 different brokers, and then select the best price. We may also employ electronic exchanges such as Market Axcess (corporates) and Trade Web (agencies, treasuries) to search for the best bid.

WSP 4.2.3 Cross Trades

Generally, we only initiate cross trades between our fixed income portfolios. The primary reason for a Cross Trade is to get the best price for both the liquidating party and the receiving party. For small positions, this is a cost effective way to manage cash flows for our fixed income clients.

Any cross transactions will be conducted through an independent broker at the prevailing market price and be in the interest of both clients, as consistent with rule 17a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. (See WSP 4.5 Trading Review)

No cross transactions will be affected between an advisory client and the McKee International Equity Portfolio.

No cross transactions will be affected between an advisory client and the UBOC Collective Trust accounts.

WSP 4.3 Authorized Brokers List

Generally, our portfolio managers have discretion over which brokers to use subject to our Best Execution Policy (WSP 4.1) Head Equity Trader has a list of all current brokers.

WSP 4.4 Soft Dollar Policy

As a matter of policy, soft dollar arrangements are employed whereby investment research and investment related products are received in exchange for brokerage commissions. In such cases, a good faith determination is made of the value of research products and services in relation to commissions paid.

C.S. McKee, L.P.                    Page 37


Research services are generally purchased with soft dollars only in accordance with the safe harbor provisions of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1943.

In the event that “mixed use” products are obtained with soft dollars, a reasonable allocation of cost will be made between that portion which is eligible as research and that which is non-eligible with only the eligible portion paid for with soft dollars. For any mixed use products or services, appropriate records shall be maintained to support the good faith and reasonableness of cost allocations.

Equity: Approximately 70% of our equity clients are discretionary and all discretionary trades are executed at 2 cents/share or less with approved soft dollar brokers. Clients may pay higher commissions in return for Research received by McKee. Research services received are used to service ALL Clients.

Fixed: Currently, the fixed income department does not utilize soft dollar brokers, but are authorized to do so. Approximately 99% of our fixed clients are discretionary.

Clients may pay higher commissions in return for Research received by McKee. Research services received are used to service ALL Clients.

Errors are reviewed on a case by case by basis, and C.S. McKee will assume the cost of correcting the error if appropriate.

Soft dollars will NOT be used in the event that McKee is required to assume the cost of correcting an error.

WSP 4.7 IPO Policy

Directed accounts will not participate in IPO’s unless the directed broker is the lead manager for the offering. The directed order will be placed as a separate trade.

IPO’s are allocated according to the following method:

Shares will be distributed by investment style (i.e. core, value, small cap and/or international. Shares are distributed proportionately based upon the number of shares received versus the original share order. Shares will not be allocated to accounts in less than 1000 share increments. If only enough shares are received to fill one account, the shares will be allocated to a randomly chosen account.

WSP 4.8 Procedures for Governing the McKee International Fund.

WSP 4.8.1 Checks and Balances

Advisory personnel are under the direct supervision of the Chief Investment Officer ( See WSP 1.8 Org Chart).

The Compliance Staff reviews the prospectus and the Statement of Additional Information of the McKee International Equity Portfolio on an annual basis and makes any necessary revisions.

That 80% of Fund assets are invested in equity securities of companies located in at least three countries other than the United States.


     

NOTE: The Fund is generally expected to hold more than 50 stocks selected from at least 15 countries. If it is expected that these parameters will not be met for an extended period, the portfolio manager will report this to the firm’s compliance officer.


     

NOTE: During unusual market circumstances or when unusually large cash inflows or redemptions are received, the Fund may temporarily deviate from its principal investment strategy and invest up to 100% of assets in short-term, high quality debt instruments. Should such temporary deviation be necessary, the portfolio manager will report this to the firm’s compliance officer.

C.S. McKee, L.P.                    Page 41


WSP 4.9 Valuations

WSP 4.9.1 McKee International Fund

McKee’s Fund Accountant, SEI, reviews our portfolio for illiquid securities/stale prices and sends notification to our Operations manager on an as need basis.

The Fair Value Committee is convened when issues arise that may affect the striking of the NAV. Recommendations and votes cast at these meetings are tracked and kept at SEI.

SEI utilizes a third-party service to fair-value the International Securities when certain after-market benchmarks are triggered.

WSP 4.9.2 Pricing Illiquid Securities

McKee utilizes a third-party service to price our client portfolios.

On occasion, our service provider may be unable to price a security. This event is usually restricted to our fixed income securities. To accurately present our clients with an up-to-date market value for their portfolio, we are forced to go to unaffiliated Third Party Brokers directly to obtain an appropriate pricing level. The Fixed Income Managers provide Operations with the prices and support obtained from Third Party brokers. Operations will retain these documents in their files. Compliance staff reviews these files on a monthly basis.

WSP 4.9.3 Reconciliations

·     

McKee reconciles Shares and Transactions for all of their institutional clients on a monthly basis.


·     

McKee also receives daily holding and transaction feeds from a third party vendor to (1) facilitate timely notification of cash flows, and (2) as a secondary check against our shadow accounting system in order to make timely adjustments if necessary.


·     

Clients sign a form authorizing their custodian to provide our third party vender with daily files to assist with our reconciliation process. These authorizations are kept on file in the Operations department.

·     

In the event that a particular custodian/client is unable to send a file to our third party vendor, McKee will be forced to rely on Month-End statements for the reconciliation process.


C.S. McKee, L.P.                    Page 42


WSP 4.9.4 Billing Procedures

·     

Accounting is responsible for generating invoices to our clients.

Fee calculation reports are available on request.

In general, most institutional clients are billed quarterly in arrears.


·     

A minority of our relationships may choose to pay us monthly, or even calculate their own fees for submission to McKee.


·     

New and Terminating Clients will have invoices prorated to the nearest day.


·     

Refunds may be necessary if a client has elected to pay in advance and a termination falls in the middle of a billing cycle.

WSP 10 Business Continuity Plan (BCP)

Clients are directed to call our main number at 412-566-1234 or log onto our website at www.csmckee.com for important information during a declared disaster. Our clients can also rely on C.S. McKee to continue un-interrupted services if such an event would occur. Our business continuity plan has addressed a full spectrum of scenarios to ensure that portfolio’s can be managed continuously.

In the event that we do not have access to our offices, key personnel will have access to our datacenter from their home or one of our disaster recovery sites.

Furthermore, in the event that our datacenter is inaccessible, we can (1) retrieve our information from back-up tapes located in off-site safety deposit boxes, (2) download critical files from our secure third party FTP website, (3) access custodian websites, or (4) pull hard copy files from National Underground storage.

WSP 10.1 Our BCP Plan in Action

How can we be so sure that we have covered our bases? Well, in 2005 a city water main broke outside of our building dumping 30 million gallons of water into the streets and the surrounding gateway center buildings that we occupy. On Friday our CEO instructed us to set up our disaster recovery office. By Monday morning, we had eight members of our staff working from a remote site with full access to our portfolio management systems. The remaining key members from our staff were able to work directly from their own homes.

What we learned from our experience is that we can (1) purchase all the equipment we need within hours of a declared disaster, (2) we can set up the necessary programs and connectivity within 24 hours, and (3) we can work from multiple locations as long as we have access to the Internet.

WSP 10.2 What type of Disasters have we reviewed.

Although we can not necessarily list every single scenario, the following matrix shows how we may handle various declared disasters.

Disaster

Possible Fix

Complete and Permanent Loss of Office

Relocate to any Hotel/Temporary Office Space that has

C.S. McKee, L.P.                    Page 51


 

Access to the Internet. Use Servers and PC’s, and back-up tapes, all of which are stored off-site, to create office from scratch.

Temporary Loss of Office

Relocate to any Hotel/Temporary Office Space and depending on whether we have access to our office, set up remote connectivity to our existing servers.

Internet is down

Call vendor and ask for an estimate on when it might be restored. If longer than a day, we may have individuals work directly from home or possibly set up a temporary office.

Loss of Key Personnel

Notify clients immediately. Our team approach does not depend on a single individual so we are confident that operations would continue as normal at the level of excellence that has been expected by our clients.

WSP 10.3 How and who maintains our BCP?

Our overall program is constantly being reviewed and modified almost daily by our BCP team.

The following positions at McKee are responsible for implementing fixes for permanent or temporary solutions in the event of a declared disaster.

·     

Operations Manager


·     

Systems Administrator


·     

IS Consultant


·     

Office Manager


WSP 10.4 Testing of our BCP Plan
