CODE OF ETHICS

January 1, 2006

 

I. Introduction

This Code of Ethics (“Code”) has been adopted and issued by the McMorgan Funds (the “Trust”) in order to set forth guidelines and procedures that promote ethical practices and conduct by all Employees and, in particular, any access person, advisory person, or investment personnel, as defined Rule 17j-1 promulgated under the Investment Company Act of 1940. All employees are to read the Code, retain it for future reference and abide by its requirements. The Personal Investment Policy incorporated into the Code as Exhibit A will provide each employee and, particularly each access person, advisory person, or investment personnel, with specific guidance concerning personal security investments and the responsibilities associated with that activity.

This Code applies to all Access Persons of the Trust and Employees (including Access Persons) of the Trust’s investment adviser, McMorgan & Company LLC (“McMorgan”). Copies of this Code are distributed to all Employees and Access Persons, who must be aware of potential conflicts of interest and general rules of ethical conduct which govern all activity by Employees and Access Persons. McMorgan and the Trust require that all Employees and Access Persons observe the applicable standards of duty and care set forth herein. An Employee or Access Person may not evade the provisions of the Code by causing another person, including a friend, relative or other, to act or fail to act in a manner in which the Employee or Access Person is prohibited.

Privacy Statement

The Trust recognizes the sensitivity and personal nature of information collected under the Code, and the interests of Access Persons in maintaining their privacy regarding this information. The Trust’s and McMorgan’s compliance personnel will take all necessary steps designed to ensure that all reports disclosing personal securities holdings, requests for pre-clearance of transactions and other information filed by Access Persons (with the exception of Independent Trustees) under the Code will be treated as confidential, subject only to the review provided in the Code or forms thereunder and review by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and other regulators.

IV. Guidelines and Procedures

As a fundamental requirement, the Trust demands the highest standards of ethical conduct on the part of Employees and Access Persons with respect to their activities relating to the Trust. All such Employees and Access Persons must abide by this basic standard and never take inappropriate advantage of their position with the Company or the Trust.

A. Conflicts of Interest

Each Employee and Access Person is under a duty to exercise his or her authority and responsibility for the primary benefit of McMorgan and the Trust and may not have outside interests that conflict with the interests of McMorgan or the Trust. Each person must avoid any circumstance that might adversely affect or appear to affect McMorgan or the Trust, or his or her duty of loyalty. This duty includes the protection of Trust information and the Trust’s reputation for trustworthy financial service.

-5-

B. Duty to Disclose Conflicts

As part of this ongoing responsibility, each Employee and Access Person (except an Independent Trustee) has the duty to disclose to McMorgan and the Trust any interest that he or she may have in any firm, corporation or business entity that is not affiliated or participating in any joint venture or partnership with McMorgan and the Trust or its Affiliates and that does business with McMorgan or that otherwise presents a possible conflicts of interest as described in Section IV. Independent Trustees are required to make certain disclosures pursuant to a separate Trustee and Officer Questionnaire that is not part of this Code. Disclosure should be timely so that McMorgan may take action concerning any possible conflict as it deems appropriate. It is recognized, however, that McMorgan has or may have business relationships with many organizations and that a relatively small interest in publicly traded securities of an organization does not necessarily give rise to a prohibited conflict of interest. Therefore, the following procedures set forth in IV.C. through IV.G. have been adopted and approved by McMorgan.

C. Board Membership

Except as described in Section IV.D. hereof, it is considered generally incompatible with the duties of Access Persons (other than an Independent Trustee) for that Access Person to assume the position of director of a corporation not affiliated with the Company. A report should be made by an Access Person to the CCO and the Employee’s supervisor of any invitation to serve as a director of a publicly-held corporation that is not an Affiliate and the person must receive the approval of their supervisor and the CCO prior to accepting any such directorship. In the event that approval is given, the CCO shall immediately determine whether the corporation in question is to be placed on the Company’s Restricted List.

D. Permissible Outside Activities

Access Persons who are asked to serve as the director, officer, general partner, consultant, agent, representative or employee of a privately-held business may do so. Similar positions held by Access Persons (with the exception of the Independent Trustees) with public companies may interfere with the Company’s advisory activities. Consequently, it is not expected that such positions will be assumed absent unusual circumstances that will benefit the Trust. In the event that such unusual circumstances are present, the department head and the CCO shall collectively decide whether the assumption of the position is in the best interest of the Trust.

E. Doing Business with the Company

Except as approved by the CCO, Employees may not have a monetary interest, as principal, co-principal, agent or beneficiary, directly or indirectly, or through any substantial interest in any other corporation or business unit, in any transaction involving McMorgan, subject to such exceptions as are specifically permitted under law.

-6-

F. Annual Conflicts Questionnaire

Initially and annually thereafter, a “Questionnaire on Conflicts of Interest,” which is attached as Exhibit B hereto, shall be distributed to each Access Person for completion and filing with the CCO or his designee. Each Access Person shall promptly supplement the annual questionnaire as necessary to reflect any material change between annual filings.

B. Gifts and Entertainment

Employees are subject to the McMorgan Gift and Entertainment Policy and should refer to that Policy for guidance with respect to the limits on giving and receiving gifts/entertainment to or from third parties that do business with McMorgan. Employees who are Registered Representatives are also subject to limitations on giving or receiving gifts that are imposed by the Rules of Conduct of the National Association of Securities Dealers.

V. Inside Information

Employees and Access Persons may not trade on inside information (i.e., material and non-public information³) or communicate such information to others. Penalties for trading on inside information or communicating such information to others are severe and may include civil injunctions, treble damages, disgorgement of profits and jail sentences.

An Employee or Access Person who believes that he or she is in possession of inside information should contact the CCO immediately. After reviewing the issue, the CCO will advise the Employee or Access Person as to whether he or she may trade on or communicate the information to others. In addition, an Employee or Access Person who believes that he or she is in possession of inside information should take appropriate steps to secure such information. For example, files containing inside information should be sealed and access to computer files containing inside information should be restricted.

VI. Mutual Fund Code of Ethics

Although McMorgan Employees must expressly comply with the terms of this Code, the Company, as an investment adviser to mutual funds, and certain of its Employees (i.e.,directors, officers, portfolio managers, analysts, traders, etc.) may owe a specific duty of care to each mutual fund Client bases on the Employee’s status as an Access Person of that mutual fund. McMorgan’s CCO has reviewed the requirements of Rule 17j-1 of the Investment Company Act and ahs determined that an Access Person’s compliance with the Company’s Code will satisfy not only that Rule’s requirements, but the substantive Code of Ethics requirements of every mutual fund that the Company presently advises or sub-advises.

³ Material information generally is that which a reasonable investor would consider significant in making an investment decision. Non-public information generally is information about a company, either positive or negative, that would have a material effect on the stock price of that company once released to the public.

-7-

VII. Acknowledgment

Each Employee must certify at the time of becoming an Employee and annually thereafter, in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, that he or she has read and understood, and is subject to and has complied with, the Code and the Policy to the extent applicable.

VIII. Sanctions

Compliance by Employees with the provisions of the Code is required. Employees should be aware that in response to any violation, McMorgan shall take whatever action is deemed necessary under the circumstances including, but without limitation, the imposition of appropriate sanctions. These sanctions may include, among others, the reversal of trades, reallocation of trades to the Trust’s account, fines, disgorgement of profits, employee suspension or termination.

IX. Record-Keeping

A. The CCO and his designee, defined for this purpose as an ACO, must maintain all records relating to compliance with the Code, such as pre-clearance requests, exception reports, other internal memoranda relating to non-compliant transactions, pre-clearance records, records of violations and any actions taken in response to violations of the code, written acknowledgement of receipt of the Code and the names of Access Persons for a period of seven years.

B. Upon request by the CCO, each ACO will provide the CCO access to the ACO’s Code records.

X. Exceptions

The CCO may grant written exceptions to provisions of the Code in circumstances which present special circumstances. The exceptions may be granted to individuals or classes of individuals with respect to particular transactions, classes of transactions or all transactions. Exceptions shall be structured to be as narrow as is reasonably practicable with appropriate safeguards designed to prevent abuse of the exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, no exception to a provision of the Code shall be granted where such exception would result in a violation of Rule 17j-1. Any exception granted shall be reported to the Trustees next regularly scheduled meeting of the Trustees.

XI. Review by the Trust and the CCO

The Trustees will review and approve the Code of Ethics for the Trust, McMorgan and the principal underwriter of the Trust, as that term is defined under the Investment Company Act, of the Trust, if any. The Trustees will review and approve any recommend changes to the Trust’s Code of Ethics. In addition, the Trustees will review and approve any material changes to the Code of Ethics for McMorgan and the principal underwriter, if any, within six months after any such change is made.

The Trustees and the CCO will undertake an annual review with respect to the Code to verify that the Code is being followed. The results of this review will be set forth in an annual report by the CCO to the Trustees. The report shall specify any related concerns and recommendations and be accompanied by the appropriate exhibits. The CCO will provide this report to the Trustees next regularly scheduled Board meeting after the completion of the report, unless more immediate reporting is appropriate.

Exhibit A

MCMORGAN FUNDS

Personal Investment Policy

I. In General

McMorgan & Company LLC (“McMorgan” or the “Company) owes an undivided duty of loyalty to the Trust. McMorgan and the Trust also recognizes the need to permit its Employees reasonable freedom with respect to their personal investment activities. It is important to balance these competing interests in an appropriate way that (a) acknowledges the possibility of conflict between these goals and (b) sets forth standards to assure that the primary duty of loyalty to the Trust is fulfilled.

The Personal Investment Policy (the “Policy”) is part of and incorporated into the Trust’s Code of Ethics and McMorgan’s Code of Ethics. Together with the Code, it supersedes and replaces in full any earlier policies on the subjects regulated.

The Policy has been implemented by the Trust and McMorgan notwithstanding its belief that securities purchased or sold for the Trust ordinarily trade in a sufficiently broad market to permit transactions by Employees for their for personal accounts without any appreciable impact on the market for such securities and thus no negative impact to the Trust.

This Policy applies to all Employees. Should you have a question as to your status under the Code or this Policy, contact the CCO immediately.

Any questions which arise relating to the Policy should be referred to the CCO or ACOs. If necessary, any final determination of the administration of this policy will be made by the Trustees, McMorgan’s Chairman, or CEO in consultation with the CCO and General Counsel.

XII. Pre-Clearance

A. Pre-Clearance Generally

To help prevent Front Running, Scalping, Fraud and other trading abuses and actual or potential conflicts or interest, no Access Person (or account in which an Access Person has any direct or indirect Beneficial Ownership interest) may purchase or sell, directly or indirectly, Covered Securities without prior approval of the CCO or ACO (except pursuant to the exceptions in Section II.B. below). Accordingly, each Access Person shall file with the CCO or ACO (in writing), a request in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto a (“Request Form”) before completing any transaction in Covered Securities in which the Access Person has a Beneficial Ownership interest. The final determination shall be noted by the CCO or ACO on the Request Form and dated and communicated to the Access Person who submitted the request. The authorization provided by the CCO or ACO is effective, unless revoked, for the calendar day it was submitted andultimately approved. If the Covered Securities transaction is not executed that day, a new authorization must be obtained.

A-1

B. Exceptions to Pre-Clearance Requirements

1. Pre-clearance is not required with respect to any transaction:

(a) effected in any account which is managed on a discretionary basis, (a Discretionary Managed Account) by a person other than such Access Persons and with respect to which such Access Person does not, in fact, influence or control such transactions and documentation describing that relationship has been submitted to and approved by the CCO;

(b) by the Independent Trustees;

(c) by officers or employees of the New York Life Insurance Company or NYLIM who are directors of McMorgan, who do not have access to information about McMorgan’s purchases and sales of securities;

(d) automatic purchases under direct investment programs which allow the purchase of securities directly from the issuer without the intermediary of a broker-dealer, provided the timing of purchases are established by a pre-arranged regularized schedule (e.g. Dividend Re-Investment Plans, also known as DRPs or DRIPs), or automatic purchases under employee stock option plans and sales pursuant to regulated tender offers; or

(e) in securities that are not Covered Securities, that is:

(i) direct obligations of the U.S. government;

(ii) bankers’ acceptances, bank certificates of deposit, commercial paper and high quality short-term investments, including repurchase agreements;

2. The exceptions in II.B.1. do not apply to transactions that are covered by Sections III.C. (initial public offerings) and III.D. (private placements), below.

A-2

XIII. Other Restrictions

A. Trading / Black-Out Periods

No Access Person may acquire or dispose of beneficial ownership in Covered Securities (other than Exempt Securities) that McMorgan is purchasing or selling for the Trust or proposes to purchase or sell for the Trust where such transaction would in any way conflict with or be detrimental to (or appear to conflict with or be detrimental to) the interest of the Trust.

The following rules (which are not applicable to Independent Trustees) are designed to implement the preceding paragraph and to minimize the possibility of conflicts of interest and the appearance of conflicts of interest:

1. No Access Person may acquire or dispose of beneficial ownership in a Covered Security (other than an Exempt Security) (i) on a day when there is a Pending Buy or Sell Order for the Trust until such order is executed or withdrawn, or (ii) if any purchase or sale of such securities has been made for the Trust accounts in the prior seven calendar days or can reasonably be anticipated for the Trust accounts in the next seven calendar days. This restriction will apply to all Access Persons with respect to the Trust’s portfolio activity. Pre-clearance will be limited accordingly.

The CCO or ACO may make an exception to the black-out period set forth in paragraph 1(ii) above in the event that the contemplated transaction involves (i) 1,000 shares or less in the aggregate and the issuer has market capitalization (outstanding shares multiplied by the current market price per share) greater than $5 billion; (ii) 500 shares or less if the market capitalization is less than $5 billion; or (iii) investment grade debt instruments of less than $100,000 par value.

1. Notwithstanding anything expressly stated in the Policy, no Covered Securities may be purchased or sold by any Employees if such purchase or sale is effected with a view to making a profit from a change in the price of such security resulting from anticipated transactions by or for the Trust.

2. If service as a director of an outside Business Organized for Profit is authorized, securities of such outside entity may be added to the company Restricted List as provided in Section IV.C. of the Code.

B. Use of Brokerage for Personal or Family Benefit

No securities trades in which the Access Person has a direct or indirect Beneficial Ownership interest may be effected through McMorgan’s traders. Access Persons must effect such trades through their personal broker-dealers. In addition, no Access Person may, for direct or indirect personal or a family member’s benefit, execute a trade with a broker-dealer by using the influence (implied or stated) of McMorgan or Access Person’s influence (implied or stated) with McMorgan. This paragraph III.B. is not applicable to Independent Trustees.

B. Initial Public Offerings

No Access Person (or Employee who is Registered Representative) may directly or indirectly acquire Beneficial Ownership in any securities in an Initial Public Offering of securities except with the express written prior approval of the CCO or ACO. This paragraph III.C. is not applicable to Independent Trustees.

C. Private Placements

No Access Person may directly or indirectly acquire Beneficial Ownership in an offering of securities in a Private Placement except with the express written prior approval of the CCO or ACO. All Access Persons who have obtained prior approval and made an investment in a Private Placement must disclose that investment if that Access Person plays a part in any subsequent consideration of an investment in the issuer by the Trust. Under such circumstances, McMorgan’s decision to purchase securities of the Private Placement issuer will be subject to an independent review by investment personnel with no investment in the issuer. This paragraph III.D. is not applicable to Independent Trustees.

D. Restricted List

No Employee may acquire or dispose of any direct or indirect Beneficial Ownership in securities of an issuer listed on the Company’s Restricted List. The CCO or designated ACO will compare preclearance requests and transaction reports against the issuers listed on the Restricted List to ensure compliance with this limitation. Although transactions in securities of an issuer listed on the Restricted List are generally prohibited, case-by-case exceptions may be granted by the CCO or ACO.

E. Maximum Trades and Trade Requests per Quarter

While there is no maximum limitation on the number of trades that an Access Person may execute per quarter or trade requests that an Access Person may submit per quarter, the Code grants the CCO or ACO the power to impose such a limitation on any Access Person if believed to be in the best interest of the Trust. This paragraph III.E. shall not apply to Independent Trustees.

F. Short-Term Trading/Sixty Day Holding Period

No Access Person may profit from the purchase and sale or sale and purchase of the same (or equivalent) Covered Security within sixty calendar days. Violations will result in disgorgement of the profit to the Trust or to a charity of the Company’s choice. Exceptions may be made by the CCO or ACO to accommodate special circumstances. This paragraph III.F. shall not apply to Independent Trustees.

Notwithstanding the above, an Access person who receives a grant of options through an Employee Stock Option, who chooses to exercise those options in a Cashless Exercise, will be allowed an exception from the sixty-day holding period, so long as such transactions are precleared as required.

A-4

H. Company Fund Shares

The following provision applies to all Company Fund Shares held by an Employee, including, but not limited to, shares owned through the McMorgan & Company LLC Pension Plan or similar account.

Waivers of this requirement may be granted in cases of death, disability, or other special circumstances by the CCO or ACO. Violations will result in disgorgement of the profit to the relevant Company Fund.

None of the above-specified restrictions on short-term trading in Company Fund Shares shall apply to the following transactions:

A-5

I. Investment Clubs

Access Persons and members of their immediate family may not participate in Investment Clubs except that an Access Person or family member may remain as a member of such a Club if that person was a member of the Club prior to the adoption of this Policy and for at least six months before his or her Employment Date. Access Persons or their immediate family members who fall within the two exceptions above may participate in such a Club if (i) the Access Person promptly discloses the membership to the CCO and (ii) directs that all confirmations and account statements relating to investments recommended or made by the Investment Club be promptly submitted to the CCO or ACO. Investment Club transactions will be monitored by the CCO or the ACO, and may be subject to the pre-clearance requirements of Section II hereof, if necessary to prevent abuses of the Code or this Policy.

XIV. Record Keeping and Reporting Requirements

A. Personal Record Keeping

Each Access Person (other than an Independent Trustee) is to maintain records adequate to establish that the individual’s personal investment decisions did not involve a conflict with any applicable requirements of the Policy. Generally, such records would include copies of pre-clearance authorizations, brokerage confirms and brokerage statements, if any. If there is any question as to whether a proposed transaction might involve a possible violation of the Policy, the transaction should be discussed in advance with the CCO or ACO.

B. Reporting Requirements

1. Statutory

McMorgan is required under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, and the Investment Company Act to keep records of certain transactions in Covered Securities and in Company Fund Shares in which its Access Persons have direct or indirect Beneficial Ownership. Access Persons should carefully read the definition of Beneficial Ownership in the Code as it is very broad and includes ownership by certain family members. The following reporting requirements have been adopted to enable McMorgan to satisfy these requirements:

(a) At the time of becoming an Employee, but in no case later than ten (10) days from the Employment Date, every new Access Person (other than an Independent Trustee) shall submit to the CCO or ACO, a report in substantially the form of Exhibit E (“Employee Initial/Annual Securities Holdings Report and Certification”), containing information current as of a date no more than 45 days prior to the employment date, and disclosing every Covered Security and Company Fund in which that Access Person has a direct or indirect Beneficial Ownership interest as of the Employment Date. Access Persons must also disclose the name of all broker, dealer or bank accounts in which any securities (whether or not they are Covered Securities or Company Fund Shares) as to which the Access Person has any Beneficial Ownership interest are held.

A-6

(b) At the end of each calendar year, but in no case later than January 31^st of the following year, every Access Person (other than an Independent Trustee) shall submit to the CCO or ACO, a report in substantially the form of Exhibit E (“Employee Initial/Annual Securities Holdings Report and Certification”), disclosing every Covered Security and Company Fund in which that Access Person has a direct or indirect Beneficial Ownership interest as of year-end. Access Persons must also disclose the name of all broker, dealer or bank accounts in which any securities (whether or not they are Covered Securities or Company Fund Shares) as to which the Access Person has any Beneficial Ownership interest are held. This information must be current as of a date no more than 45 days before the report is submitted.

(c) Every Access Person shall file with the CCO or ACO a report in substantially the form of Exhibit F (“Quarterly Report”) within 30 days after the close of each calendar quarter. The Quarterly Report must reflect all transactions in any Covered Security, except transactions effected through an automatic investment plan, and Company Fund in which an Access Person has, or by reason of such transaction acquires or disposes of, any Beneficial Ownership interest, or, alternatively, must state that there were no such transactions in the applicable calendar quarter. Access Persons must also disclose broker, dealer or bank accounts (where the bank account is used as a brokerage account) opened or closed since the previous quarter. An Independent Trustee is not required to file a Quarterly Report unless such Trustee knew or, in the ordinary course of fulfilling his or her official duties as a Fund director, should have known that during the 15-day period immediately before or after his or her transaction in a Covered Security, the Fund purchased or sold the Covered Security, or the Fund or McMorgan considered purchasing or selling the Covered Security.

(d) These reporting requirements do not apply to transactions effected for, and Covered Securities or Company Fund Shares held in, any account over which the Access Person has no direct or indirect influence or control. Filing of duplicate trade confirmations and account statements as described in Section IV.B.3 hereof may, however, be required by the CCO for any account as to which an Access Person has any Beneficial Ownership interest if necessary to prevent abuses of the Code or this Policy.

2. Additional Quarterly Reporting

Each Access Person (other than an Independent Trustee) shall file with the CCO or ACO, as part of the Quarterly Report, the names and affiliations of immediate family members sharing the Access Person’s household who are employed in the securities or commodities industries and who might be in a position to benefit directly or indirectly from the activities of McMorgan personnel in the discharge of their duties.

A-7

3. Additional Initial and Annual Certifications

Each new Access Person (other than an Independent Trustee) shall file with the CCO or ACO in substantially the form of Exhibit C, an initial certification indicating that the Employee has received, read, understood and will comply with the Code, the McMorgan Inside Information Policy, McMorgan Information Barrier Policy, the McMorgan Gift & Entertainment Policy and the McMorgan Funds Public Disclosure Policy.. Each Access Person shall file annually with the CCO or ACO in substantially the form of Exhibit C, a certification indicating that the Access Person has received, read, understood and complied with the Code, the McMorgan Inside Information Policy, McMorgan Information Barrier Policy, the McMorgan Gift & Entertainment Policy and the McMorgan Funds Public Disclosure Policy for the calendar year.

4. Duplicate Confirmations

Each Access Person (other than an Independent Trustee) shall arrange for prompt filing by the broker, dealer and bank (where the bank account is used as a brokerage account) with the CCO or ACO of duplicate confirmations of all trades of Covered Securities and copies of periodic statements for all securities accounts. The duplicates shall be mailed to McMorgan, Attention: Compliance Officer, at its San Francisco address.

5. New Accounts

Each Access Person (other than an Independent Trustee) shall promptly notify the CCO or ACO of any new account opened with a broker, dealer or bank (where the bank account is used as a brokerage account). Such notification shall be mailed to McMorgan, Attention: Compliance Officer, at its San Francisco address.

6. Reporting of Code Violations

Each Employee shall promptly notify the CCO or ACO of any violation of the Code.

V. Sanctions and Review

A. Sanctions

Upon discovering a violation of the Policy, the Trust or McMorgan may impose sanctions as it deems appropriate, including, among other sanctions, reversal of any trade, reallocation of trades to Trust accounts, fines, disgorgement, or suspension or termination of the employment of the violator. With respect to transactions for the Trust, profits realized from transactions prohibited by the Policy must be disgorged to the Trust if material and necessary to make the Trust whole.

B. Review by CCO

The CCO will undertake an annual review with respect to the Code to verify that the Code is being followed. The results of this review will be set forth in an annual report by the CCO to the Trustees, which the CCO will report at the next regularly scheduled Board meeting. The report shall specify any related concerns and recommendations and be accompanied by the appropriate exhibits, unless more immediate action is appropriate.
