III.    STANDARDS OF CONDUCT
A.
Statement of Principles
It is imperative that we observe high ethical standards and be focused at all times on compliance - only by doing so can we maintain the trust of our clients and investors, regulators and the public, and in turn protect the Firm’s reputation, our most valuable asset. Ethics and compliance are about “doing the right thing,” and it is the personal responsibility of each and every one of us to be familiar with the Global Code and this 17j-1 Code and to abide by the letter and spirit of the Global Code and, to the extent applicable, this 17j-1 Code at all times.
The Global Code and this 17j-1 Code do not and cannot address every ethical, legal or regulatory issue you may encounter - you should exercise good judgment, common sense and integrity and, when in doubt as to the appropriate course of action in a particular situation or as to how the applicable Code or Firm policy applies to your particular business unit, you should consult your supervisor and/or Compliance for guidance.
You are required to comply with the Federal Securities Laws and the Firm’s policies and procedures, including this 17j-1 Code.
You also have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of Perella Weinberg Partners and its clients and investors at all times. Therefore, you may not engage in personal activities that conflict with the interests of the Firm or its clients or investors or that may jeopardize the Firm’s reputation, and you may not allow your business responsibilities to be influenced, or appear to be influenced, by personal interests. You must promptly disclose to your supervisor and/or Compliance any situation that may present a conflict or the appearance of a conflict, so that appropriate action (including the adoption of safeguards) may be taken to address any actual or suspected conflict.


4



B.
Restrictions on Personal Securities Transactions
1.Insider Trading.

Under no circumstances may you engage in a securities, derivative or other transaction (or advise, encourage or procure others to do so): (i) when in possession of “material, non-public information” or “inside information,” (ii) that is based on “front running,” mirror trading or other activities of any Proprietary Fund, (iii) if the proposed transaction may otherwise be in conflict with the interests of any Proprietary Fund, or (iv) if the proposed transaction could breach any laws or regulations to which you or the Firm are subject, including, among others, insider trading and dealing laws.

You must also observe any restrictions imposed by the issuer of that security or otherwise imposed in relation to that security, for example, a “blackout period” or “restricted stock” legend. When in doubt, you should always consult with Compliance.

2.17j-1 Covered Securities: Limitations and Pre-Approval Procedures.

a.
Transactions in 17j-1 Covered Securities.

You are prohibited from purchasing or otherwise acquiring 17j-1 Covered Securities, except for the following 17j-1 Covered Securities; provided that, in each case, you seek pre-approval as discussed in paragraph 2(e) below and observe the Blackout Period and Minimum Holding Period requirements discussed in paragraph 2(c) and 2(d), respectively, below:

(i)
securities of individual companies to cover short positions you held prior to the date you joined the Firm;
(ii)
securities of any Proprietary Fund; and
(iii)
Limited Offerings (as discussed in paragraph 3 of this Section III.B).

You may sell, gift or otherwise dispose of 17j-1 Covered Securities, provided that you have obtained the pre-approvals described in paragraph 2(e) below.

You may receive (without the need to obtain pre-approval from the Firm) (i) 17j-1 Covered Securities directly from an issuer in connection with a transaction that you do not initiate (such as a stock split, conversion, exchange or rights issue); (ii) if the Firm has approved a directorship and its compensation arrangement, a grant of stock or options by a company as compensation for your service as a director of that company; or (iii) a gift of 17j-1 Covered Securities.

b.
Exempt Securities; Non 17j-1 Covered Securities.

Exempt Securities need not be pre-approved by the Firm (except as required by the Minimum Holding Period rules) and are not subject to the limitations on dispositions and acquisitions of other 17j-1 Covered Securities, including the 5-Day Blackout Period. You do remain subject, however, to applicable laws and regulations, including insider trading or dealing laws. In addition, Exempt Securities transactions remain subject to the Minimum Holding Period and the reporting obligations set forth in Section IV.

Non 17j-1 Covered Securities need not be pre-approved by the Firm and are not subject to the limitations on dispositions and acquisitions of 17j-1 Covered Securities, including the 5-Day Blackout Period and the Minimum Holding Period. You do remain subject to applicable laws and regulations, including insider trading or dealing laws. If you are unsure whether a particular security is a 17j-1 Covered Security or a Non 17j-1 Covered Security, you should consult with Compliance.

5




c.
Blackout Period

You are prohibited from engaging in any transaction involving a 17j-1 Covered Security if you have knowledge that the Firm has in the last five business days engaged, or intends in the next five business days to engage, in a transaction on behalf of any Proprietary Fund with respect to such 17j-1 Covered Security. This is known as the “Blackout Period”.

If you initiate a transaction within the Blackout Period, in addition to being subject to sanctions for violating this 17j-1 Code, such transaction should be unwound. If it is not possible to unwind such transaction, then the remedy for such violation shall be determined by Compliance, which remedy may include disgorging profits from the transaction in accordance with guidance provided by Compliance.

d.
Minimum Holding Period.

You are prohibited from purchasing then selling or selling then purchasing the same or equivalent (derivative) 17j-1 Covered Securities (other than shares of ETFs that track a broad based market index as determined by Compliance) within any 30 calendar day period (“Minimum Holding Period”) without pre-approval from Compliance. If you violate the Minimum Holding Period requirement, then the sanction for such violation shall be determined by Compliance, which remedy may include disgorging profits from the transaction. For purposes of disgorgement, profit recognition is based upon the difference between the most recent purchase and sale prices for the most recent transactions. Accordingly, profit recognition for disgorgement purposes may differ from the capital gains calculations for tax purposes. Trades of Proprietary Funds held within the Firm’s 401(k) will not be subject to disgorgement. The disposition of any disgorged profits will be at the discretion of the company, and you will be responsible for any tax and related costs.

e.
Pre-Approval Process; Trading Window.

Transactions that require pre-approval must be pre-approved in writing or electronically (using the Personal Trading Account Transaction: Request and Authorization Form located in Appendix A, or such other form approved by Compliance) by (i) your supervisor, and (ii) Compliance; provided, no person may approve his or her own transactions. Except as otherwise specified by Compliance in a particular case, the approval of a transaction is effective only for the trading day on which the approval is granted.


6



Note that, if you are granted approval to place a good-till-cancelled (“GTC”) or stop-loss order, you may not (once the order has been placed) seek to amend or cancel the GTC order or withdraw the stop-loss order without obtaining prior approval from your supervisor and Compliance.
 
If you come into possession of material non-public information or inside information after a proposed transaction has been approved, you must refrain from engaging in the transaction and must immediately notify Compliance. In addition, and in order to help preserve the confidentiality of information held by the Firm, you should not seek to determine why your trading request may have been denied and you should not disclose to your broker or other person handling your account the fact that your request has been denied. Please consult with Compliance if you need guidance in this regard.

3.    Initial Public Offerings and “New Issues”.

You are prohibited from participating in Initial Public Offering transactions.

4.    Limited Offerings

You must obtain approval in writing or electronically from Compliance before directly or indirectly acquiring Beneficial Ownership in any securities in a Limited Offering. Any such approval may be requested using the Private Investment Approval Form attached as Appendix B hereto, or such other form approved by Compliance. The CCO, in determining whether approval should be granted, will take into account, among other factors, whether the investment opportunity should be reserved for Clients and whether the opportunity is being offered to the PWPCM employee by virtue of his or her position with PWPCM. The CCO will seek information sufficient to substantiate the foregoing conditions and confirm that PWPCM’s fiduciary responsibilities to its Clients remain upheld. It is noted that in the event the CCO grants approval, such securities may be subjected to a mandatory holding period to be determined by the CCO in his sole discretion.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Limited Offering sponsored or advised by the Firm or its affiliates, submission of, and approval by the Firm, of your subscription agreement constitutes the requisite preclearance required under this 17j-1 Code.
17j-1 Access Persons who have been authorized to acquire securities in a Limited Offering must disclose that investment to the CCO when they are involved in PWPCM’s subsequent consideration of an investment in the issuer, and PWPCM’s decision to purchase such securities for any Proprietary Fund must be independently reviewed by investment personnel with no personal interest in that issuer.
5.    Transactions in Managed Accounts and Open-End Mutual Fund Accounts

Transactions in Managed Accounts and Open-End Mutual Fund accounts need not be pre-approved by Compliance and, other than the prohibition of participation in IPO transactions, they are not subject to the limitations that are imposed on transactions in Personal Trading Accounts. You do remain subject, however, to applicable laws and regulations, including insider trading or dealing laws.

7



6.    Restricted List

Transactions involving companies on the Restricted List may not occur through Personal Trading Accounts. When companies are added to the Restricted List, existing positions in Personal Trading Accounts are generally frozen. The Firm monitors all asset management and Personal Trading Accounts transactions for Restricted List securities.
7.    Applicability

The prohibitions, limitations and pre-approval procedures outlined in this Section III apply to transactions by you, or by any of your related or associated persons, in 17j-1 Covered Securities whether or not held in Personal Trading Accounts.
