identified he or she shall  continue to be an Access Person until  otherwise  notified in writing by the president,
or his or her  designate,  provided,  however,  if such person is an Access  Person  solely  because he or she is a
director  of ASISI,  such  person  shall  cease to be an  Access  Person  at the time  such  person  ceases to be a
director.  Each Access Person shall receive a copy of this Code.

         (b)      "Advisory Person" means:

I.       COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNING LAWS, REGULATIONS AND      PROCEDURES

         All  directors,  officers or  employees  of ASISI shall have and  maintain  knowledge  of and shall comply
strictly with all applicable  Federal and state laws and all rules and  regulations of any  governmental  agency or
self-regulatory organization governing his or her activities.

         Each  director,  officer or employee  will be given a copy of the Code of Ethics at the time of his or her
employment.

         Each  director,  officer and employee  shall comply with all laws and  regulations  relating to the use of
material  non-public  information.  Trading on "inside  information" of any sort, or passing on such information or
recommendations  based on such  information,  whether  obtained  in the course of  research  activities,  through a

otherwise, is strictly prohibited.

         All directors,  officers or employees of ASISI shall comply strictly with procedures  established by ASISI
to ensure compliance with applicable  Federal and state laws and regulations  adopted by governmental  agencies and
self-regulatory  organizations.  The directors,  officers or employees shall not knowingly  participate in, assist,
or condone any acts in  violation  of any statute or  regulation  governing  securities  matters,  nor any act that
would violate any provision of this Code of Ethics, or any rules adopted thereunder.

         Each  director,   officer  or  employee  having  supervisory   responsibility  shall  exercise  reasonable
supervision over employees  subject to his or her control,  with a view to preventing any violation by such persons

regulations  or  provisions  of the Code of  Ethics  have  occurred  shall  report  such  evidence  to the Board of
Directors of ASISI or ASISI's compliance officer, or to a person or persons designated by its Board of Directors.


II.      CONFIDENTIALITY OF TRANSACTIONS
         -------------------------------

         Information  relating to the  portfolio  of a Client  Company for which ASISI is the  investment  manager,
including  research and statistical  studies,  is confidential  until publicly  available and whenever  statistical
information  or  research  is  supplied to or  requested  by a Client  Company  for which  ASISI is the  investment
advisor,  such information  must not be disclosed to any persons other than persons  designated by the President or
the Board of Trustees of the Client  Company.  If such Client Company is considering a particular  purchase or sale
of a security for such company, this must not be disclosed except to such duly authorized persons.

         Any ASISI  officer or  employee  authorized  to place  orders for the  purchase or sale of  securities  on
behalf of such Client Company shall take all steps  reasonably  necessary to provide that all brokerage  orders for
the  purchase  and sale of  securities  for the account of such  company  will be so executed as to ensure that the
nature of the  transactions  shall be kept  confidential  until the  information  is reported to the Securities and
Exchange Commission or the Client Company's shareholders in the normal course of business.

         If any director,  officer or employee of ASISI or Access Person should obtain  information  concerning the
Client Company's portfolios (including,  the consideration by ASISI of acquiring,  or recommending any security for
the Client  Company's  portfolio),  whether in the course of such person's  duties or otherwise,  such person shall
respect the  confidential  nature of this information and shall not divulge it to anyone unless it is properly part
of such person's  services to ASISI or the Client  Company to do so, or such person is  specifically  authorized to
do so by the President of ASISI or the Client  Company,  nor shall such person  recommend to others the purchase or
sale of securities based on such confidential information.


III.     ETHICAL STANDARDS
         -----------------

         If ASISI makes any investment  recommendation or takes any investment  action,  each director,  officer or
employee shall  exercise  diligence and  thoroughness,  and shall have a reasonable and adequate basis for any such
recommendations or action.

         No director,  officer or employee shall  undertake  independent  practice for  compensation in competition
with ASISI or a Client Company.

         The  directors,  officers,  employees or Access  Persons and their  respective  affiliates,  shall conduct
themselves in a manner  consistent with the highest  ethical  standards.  They shall avoid any action,  whether for
personal profit or otherwise,  that results in an actual or potential conflict of interest,  or the appearance of a
conflict of  interest,  with ASISI or which may be  otherwise  detrimental  to the  interests  of ASISI or a Client
Company.

         No officer,  director or employee shall  improperly use for such person's  personal benefit any knowledge,
whether  obtained  through such  person's  relationship  with ASISI or an investment  company or otherwise,  of any
investment recommendation made or to be made or of any investment action taken or to be taken by ASISI.

         No officer,  director or employee shall disclose any  non-public  information  relating to the such Client
Company's portfolio or transactions,  nor make recommendations to others based on such non-public information,  nor
shall any  officer,  director  or  employee  disclose  any  non-public  information  relating  to the  business  or
operations of such Client Company unless properly authorized to do so.

         Any director,  officer or employee  having  discretion as to the  selection of  broker-dealers  to execute
securities  transactions  for ASISI or a Client  Company  shall  select  broker-dealers  solely on the basis of the
services  provided  directly or  indirectly  by such  broker-dealers  to ASISI or a Client  Company.  An officer or
employee shall not,  directly or indirectly,  receive a fee or commission or other  compensation  or value from any
source in connection with the sale or purchase of any security for such Client Company.

         In addition,  ASISI shall take all actions reasonably calculated to ensure that it engages  broker-dealers
to transact  business  whose  partners,  officers and  employees,  and their  respective  affiliates,  will conduct
themselves in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section III.

         Conflicts of interest  generally result from a situation in which an individual has personal  interests in
a matter  that is or may be  competitive  with  his  responsibilities  to  another  person  or  entity  or where an
individual has or may have competing  obligations or  responsibilities  to two or more persons or entities.  In the
case of the relationship  between ASISI on the one hand, and its directors,  employees and Access Persons and their
respective  affiliates,  on the other hand,  such  conflicts may result from the purchase or sale of securities for
the account of a Client Company and for the account of any  affiliated  person or from the purchase or sale for the
account of a Client  Company of securities in which an Access Person or employee of a Client  Company or his or her
affiliates  has an interest.  In these cases,  all potential or actual  conflicts must be disclosed to the Board of
Directors of ASISI or the designated  compliance  officer of ASISI and the first preference and priority must be to
avoid such conflicts of interest wherever  possible and, where they unavoidably  occur, to resolve them in a manner
not disadvantageous to ASISI or a Client Company.


IV.      ACTIVITIES AND TRANSACTIONS OF ACCESS PERSONS
         ---------------------------------------------

         (a)      No Access Person shall  recommend to, or cause or attempt to cause,  ASISI or a Client Company to
acquire,  dispose of, or hold any security (including,  any option, warranty or other right or interest relating to
such  security)  which such Access Person or an affiliate of such Access  Person has direct or indirect  beneficial
ownership  unless the Access  Person  shall first  disclose in writing to his or her Board of  Directors  all facts
reasonably  necessary to identify  the nature of the  ownership  of such Access  Person or his or her  affiliate in
such security.

         (b)      No Access  Person  shall  knowingly  purchase or sell any security  which said person  intends to
recommend  for  purchase or sale by a Client  Company  until a Client  Company has  completed  all of its  intended
trades in said security.



         (c)      If,  as a result of  fiduciary  obligations  to other  persons  or  entities,  an  Access  Person
believes  that such person or an affiliate of such person is unable to comply with certain  provisions of the Code,
such  Access  Person  shall so advise  the Board of  Directors  of ASISI or the  designated  compliance  officer in
writing,  setting forth with reasonable  specificity  the nature of such fiduciary  obligations and the reasons why
such Access  Person  believe  such person is unable to comply with any such  provisions.  The Board of Directors of
ASISI or the  designated  compliance  officer  may,  in its or his  discretion,  exempt  such  Access  Person or an
affiliate  of such  person from any such  provisions,  if it/he shall  determine  that the  services of such Access
Person are valuable to the Client  Company and the failure to grant such  exemptions is likely to cause such Access
Person to be unable to render  services to the Client Company.  Any Access Person granted an exemption  (including,
an exception for an affiliate of such person),  pursuant to this Section  IV(c) shall,  within three  business days
after  engaging  in a purchase  or sale of a security  held or to be  acquired  by a client,  furnish  the Board of
Directors of ASISI or the designated compliance officer with a written report concerning such transaction.

         (d)      From  time to time,  directors,  officers  or  employees  of the  Client  Company  or  ASISI  may
establish special or "insider"  relationships  with one or more issuers of securities (i.e., the director,  officer
or employee  may become an officer or director of an issuer,  a member of a creditors  committee  which  engages in
material  negotiations  with an issuer,  etc.).  In such cases,  the Board of Directors of ASISI or the  designated
compliance  officer of the Client  Company or ASISI may include such issues on a  restricted  list  containing  the
names of issuers  whose  securities  are not  eligible  for  purchase  or sale by the  Client  Company or by Access
Persons.


V.       ACTIVITIES AND TRANSACTIONS OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS OR         EMPLOYEES
         ------------------------------------------------------        ---------

                  (i)      No  director,  officer or  employee  shall  employ any  device,  scheme or  artifice  to

                  (ii)     No director,  officer or employee  shall make to a Client  Company any untrue  statement
of a  material  fact or omit to state  to such  Client  Company  a  material  fact  necessary  in order to make the
statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading;

                  (iii)    No  director,  officer  or  employee  shall  engage  in any act,  practice  or course of
business which operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon a Client Company; or

                  (iv)     No  director,  officer  or  employee  shall  engage in any  manipulative  practice  with
