76

A. | Personal Securities Policy

Policy Summary

The Company has adopted the Personal Securities Policy to accomplish two primary goals:

| 1. | First, to minimize conflicts and potential conflicts of interest between Access Persons and Clients; and

| 2. | Second, to provide policies and procedures consistent with applicable laws (including Rule 204A-1 under the Advisers Act, Rule 17j-1 under the 40 Act, the rules contained within the FCA Conduct of Business Sourcebook 11.7A, and European Market Abuse Regulation) to prevent fraudulent or manipulative practices with respect to purchases or sales of securities held, or to be acquired by, Clients.

The Company is entrusted with the assets of its Clients for investment purposes. This fiduciary relationship requires Access Persons to place the interests of the Clients before their own and to avoid conflicts of interest. All Access Persons must adhere to this general overriding principle as well as comply with this Personal Securities Policy’s specific provisions. This Personal Securities Policy should be read in conjunction with the Insider Trading Policy included in the Code which defines material non-public information (“MNPI”). Ltd. Staff shall refer to additional policies on market abuse in the Ltd. Compliance Manual.

The Company has developed and adopted the following general principles to guide its Access Persons:

| 1. | The interests of Clients must be placed first at all times;

| 2. | All personal securities transactions must be conducted consistent with this Personal Securities Policy and in such a manner as to avoid any actual or potential conflict of interest or any abuse of an individual’s position of trust and responsibility;

| 3. | Access Persons should not take inappropriate advantage of their positions; and

| 4. | Access Persons must comply with all applicable laws.

It shall be a violation of this Personal Securities Policy for any Access Person, in connection with the purchase or sale, directly or indirectly, of any security or other investment to:

| 1. | Employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud any person;

| 2. | Make 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 under which they were made, not misleading;

| 3. | Engage in any act, practice or course of business that operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit;

| 4. | Engage in any manipulative practice;

| 5. | Engage in late trading or market timing of 40 Act Funds shares; or

| 6. | Engage in a personal securities transaction while in possession of MNPI about the issuer of that security.

This Personal Securities Policy does not attempt to identify all possible conflicts of interest, and literal compliance with each of its specific provisions will not shield Access Persons from liability for personal trading or other conduct that violates a fiduciary duty to Clients.

77

Where an Access Person is uncertain whether a transaction or an account is within scope of this Personal Securities Policy, he/she should consult Compliance for clarity.

Definitions

For purposes of this Personal Securities Policy, the following definitions apply:

“Automatic Investment Plan’’ – means a program in which regular periodic purchases (or withdrawals) are made automatically in (or from) investment accounts in accordance with a predetermined schedule and allocation. An automatic investment plan includes dividend reinvestment plans.

“Beneficial Ownership’’ – Shall be interpreted in the same manner as it would be under Rule 16a-1(a)(2) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in determining whether a person is the beneficial owner of a security for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations thereunder. A beneficial owner is any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, has or shares a direct or indirect pecuniary interest in the securities. A pecuniary interest in securities means the opportunity, directly or indirectly, to profit or share in any profit derived from a transaction in those securities. A person is presumed to have an indirect pecuniary interest in securities held by members of a person’s “Immediate Family’’20 who either reside with, or are financially dependent upon, or whose investments are controlled by, that person. A person also has a beneficial interest in securities held: (i) by a trust in which he/she is a Trustee, has a beneficial interest or is the settlor with a power to revoke the trust, (ii) by another person and he/she has a contract or an understanding with such person that the securities held in that person’s name are for his/her benefit, (iii) in the form of a right to acquisition of such security through the exercise of warrants, options, rights, or conversion rights, (iv) by a partnership of which he/she is a member, (v) by a corporation that he/she uses as a personal trading medium, (vi) by a holding company that he/she controls, or (vii) by an investment club of which he/she is a member.

‘‘Covered Security” – Any note, stock, exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), open and/or closed end mutual fund, treasury stock, security future, bond, municipal bond, debenture, evidence of indebtedness, certificate of interest or participation on any profit-sharing agreement, collateral-trust certificate, preorganization certificate or subscription, transferable share, investment contract, real estate investment trusts, voting-trust certificate, certificate of deposit for a security, fractional undivided interest in oil, gas, or other mineral rights, any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege on any security (including a certificate of deposit) or on any group or index of securities (including any interest therein or based on the value thereof), or any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege entered into on a national securities exchange relating to foreign currency, or, in general, any interest or instrument commonly known as a “security”, or any certificate of interest or participation in, temporary or interim certificate for, receipt for, guarantee of, or warrant or right to subscribe to or purchase, any of the foregoing.

For these purposes, the purchase or sale of a Covered Security includes, among other things, the writing of an option to purchase or sell a Covered Security. A security held or to be acquired includes any option to purchase or sell, and any security convertible into or exchangeable for, a Covered Security.

20 In relation to Ltd. Staff, the Company may apply a definition of “Immediate Family” that is broader than the definition under SEC Adviser Act Rule 17 CFR 240.16a-1(a)(2)(ii)(A), which includes Immediate Family as defined in the Code as well as any person with whom an Access Person has a family relationship or has close links as referenced in Article 28 of the MiFID Org Regulation – Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/565 of 25 April 2016.

78

A Covered Security may also include virtual currency or cryptocurrency coins or tokens that are being offered, or previously were offered, as part of certain types of initial coin offerings (“ICOs”). For the avoidance of doubt, virtual currency or cryptocurrency coins or tokens that were created outside the context of an ICO are not to be considered a Covered Security.

Any questions about whether an instrument is a Covered Security should be directed to Compliance.

‘‘Limited Offering’’ – an offering that is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to section 4(a)(2) or section 4(a)(5) [15 U.S.C. 77d(a)(2) or 77d(a)(5)] or pursuant to rule 504, or rule 506 [17 CFR 230.504 or 230.506] under the Securities Act of 1933.

‘‘Reportable Security’’ – Any Covered Security as defined herein with the exception of securities listed in “Exempt Transactions - Exceptions to Reporting Requirements” as outlined in this Personal Securities Policy below.

‘‘Reportable Security Requiring Pre-Approval’’ – Any Reportable Security that is not listed herein as “Exempt Transaction s – Reportable Transactions That Do Not Require Pre-Approval”.

‘‘Reportable Account’’ – Any Self-Directed Account, Self-Directed No Reportable Securities Account and/or Third Party Managed Account which has the ability to transact in a Covered Security.

‘‘Self -Directed Account’’ – Any personal brokerage account in which an Access Person has direct or indirect influence or control to transact in a Reportable Security that he/she (or his/her Immediate Family) has Beneficial Ownership.

‘‘Self -Directed No Reportable Securities Account’’ – Any personal brokerage account in which an Access Person has direct or indirect influence or control to transact in a Covered Security that he/she (or his/her Immediate Family) has Beneficial Ownership and does not transact in Reportable Securities.

‘‘Third Party Managed Account’’21 - Any personal brokerage account which has the ability to transact in a Covered Security and is managed on a discretionary basis by a trustee or third party (i.e. a person other than the Access Person or the Access Person’s Immediate Family).

For the avoidance of doubt this requirement does not apply to Third Party Managed Accounts or Self-Directed Non Reportable Securities Accounts.

Review, Approval and Denial of Trade Requests

Process

StarCompliance allows Compliance to review and either approve or deny a trade submitted for pre-approval. Upon submitting a trade pre-approval request, Access Persons will receive notification from StarCompliance whether the trade request was approved or denied by Compliance. No member of Compliance may approve his/her own trade request.

Approval is granted at the discretion of Compliance, and each request is considered against the Company’s Restricted List and established policies and procedures and regulatory obligations.

Approved Trades

The pre-approval approval, unless denied or revoked, is valid until close of business the day the approval was granted. If the approved transaction is not executed during such period, a new request must be filed, and another authorization must be obtained. Good-until-cancel limit orders are not permitted without daily requests for pre-approval.

Access Persons must wait for approval before placing the order with their broker. If pre-approval for a transaction in a Reportable Security is not obtained, the Company reserves the right to require the Access Person to close out a position, disgorgement of profits, prohibition on trading, or take any other action as it deems appropriate.

83

In general, approvals will not be granted for the following transactions:

| • |  | Corporate bonds;

| • |  | Publicly traded BDCs; or

| • |  | Issuers reflected on the Restricted List.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Compliance may decide not to grant approval for a transaction in a Covered Security at its sole discretion.

Investment Holding Period

All transactions requiring pre-approval are subject to a minimum holding period of 30 calendar days with the exception of charitable contributions. Compliance may grant exceptions to this should abnormal market conditions or personal circumstances warrant this. Exceptions will be decided on a case by case basis and will be recorded in StarCompliance.

Procuring or Disclosure to Others

| 1. | Procure any other person to enter into such a transaction; or

| 2. | Disclose any information to any other person which they know, or reasonably ought to know, will lead to that person entering into such a transaction.

Front Running and Scalping

B. | Insider Trading Policy

Policy Summary

The Company prohibits Access Persons from (i) trading, either, for a Client, personally, or on behalf of another, a Security, as defined below, while in possession of material nonpublic information (“MNPI “) about the issuer of that Security, also known as “insider trading” or (ii) communicating MNPI to anyone who might use it to buy or sell Securities, also known as “tipping”. MNPI may not be communicated to others in violation of an agreement to keep such information confidential or in violation of law. When in doubt whether certain information constitutes MNPI, Access Persons should assume that the information is MNPI and immediately consult with Compliance.

The Company prohibits misuse of MNPI. This prohibition applies to every Access Person and extends to activities within and outside their duties of the Company.

These policies and procedures are adopted in accordance with Section 204A of the Advisers Act, the EU Market Abuse Regulation and the Securities and Futures Act of Singapore and/or any other applicable local laws as outlined in the Ltd. Compliance Manual, which require that the Company establish, maintain and enforce written policies and procedures reasonably designed to detect and prevent the misuse of MNPI. This Insider Trading Policy operates in conjunction with the Personal Securities Policy as outlined in the Code as well as the Market Abuse and Market Soundings Policies in the Ltd. Compliance Manual.

Definitions

"Material Information" - Includes any information, relating directly or indirectly to one or more issuers or to one or more Securities, whether originating externally or within the Company, that a reasonable investor would consider important in making an investment decision, or information that is reasonably certain to have a substantial effect on the price of a company’s Securities .

Common examples of information that may be regarded as material include but are not limited to:

| • |  | Projections by the company of future earnings or losses different from market expectations;

| • |  | A pending or proposed merger, acquisition or tender offer;

| • |  | A significant sale of assets or the disposition of a subsidiary;

| • |  | Changes in dividend policies or the declaration of a stock split;

| • |  | Significant changes in senior management; or

| • |  | An impending upgrade or downgrade of a security by a rating agency or a securities firm.

"Nonpublic Information" or "NPI" - Information is nonpublic until it has been effectively communicated to the marketplace and is available to the general public. Information is generally regarded as non-public until it has been broadly disseminated, such as by means of a press release carried over a major news service, a major news publication, a research report or publication, a public filing made with a regulatory agency, materials sent to shareholders or potential investors such as a proxy statement or prospectus, or materials available from public disclosure services.

86

"Security " - The term security is defined as (i) “Covered Security” in the Personal Securities Policy of this Code and is meant to include any security defined as such pursuant to section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and any financial instrument as defined as such pursuant to the European Market Abuse Regulation; and (ii) any derivative of the foregoing. If an Access Person has any questions regarding whether an asset (including any debt instrument) is considered a Security under this Insider Trading Policy, he/she shall consult Compliance.

Insider Trading Policy

Possession of MNPI

Access Persons may not buy or sell (or recommend, advise or solicit the purchase or sale), for any account (personal or Client), a Security of any company about which the Company or its Access Persons possess MNPI.

Receipt and Reporting of MNPI

Access Persons must notify Compliance immediately if they believe they have obtained any NPI so that Compliance can determine whether such NPI constitutes MNPI. Access Persons should conduct themselves as though NPI is MNPI until a determination as to materiality can be made by Compliance.

The Company and its Access Persons through various access points can come into possession of NPI. Based on the Company’s investment activities, the following outlines access points of how an Access Person may obtain NPI:

| • |  | Market Sounding Communications: From time-to-time issuers or agent banks or broker dealers may contact Compliance concerning an issuer-specific event that has not yet been made public. This information is usually market sensitive and constitutes MNPI. As such, this information is ring-fenced within Compliance as a control measure to keep the Firm on the public side of the issuer until such time as Compliance communicates with the investment team, without providing the name or other information that can be used to identify the issuer, to determine if the investment team wants to receive the MNPI. If it is determined that the investment team wants to receive the MNPI, Compliance will first place the issuer on the Restricted List and then release the information, including the issuer’s name, to the investment team. The issuer will remain on the Restricted List until the information is made available to the public or becomes stale.

| • |  | Data Rooms: Access Persons must notify Compliance before accessing NPI about issuers from data rooms and data room aggregators, such as Findox. Following such notification Compliance will determine whether the issuer should be added to the Restricted List.

| • |  | Expert Networks: Before engaging with an expert network, even on a trial basis, Access Persons must obtain pre-approval from Compliance. Additionally, Access Persons must adhere to and follow the procedures set forth in the Expert Networks Policy in this Compliance Manual.

| • |  | Meetings with Management: Access Persons who wish to communicate with the management of public companies (also known as public company insiders) must track such meetings on a log that includes the (i) name of the company, (ii) date of the meeting, (iii) names of the Access Persons that participated in the meeting, (iv) name and title, if available, of the public company

87

insiders that participated in the meeting, and (v) a note regarding if NPI was discussed during the meeting. If NPI was received during the meeting, Access Persons shall immediately inform Compliance so a determination as to materiality can be made and whether the issuer should be added to the Restricted List.

| • |  | Bank Loans: Market participants in bank loans may obtain information that is not available to Securities market participants, and this information may be considered NPI. If NPI is received, Access Persons are responsible for immediately informing Compliance so a determination as to materiality can be made and whether the issuer should be added to the Restricted List.

Bank loans are not considered a Security as defined herein. Therefore, certain transactions in bank loans are permissible after opting to receive MNPI from the issuer. However, in certain situations, Access Persons may receive “superior information” that not all market participants in the syndicate bank loan receive. In these circumstances, Access Persons shall immediately inform Compliance so a determination can be made whether trading in bank loans should be restricted. In such situations, the Company may require the use of a detailed “big boy” letter to trade the bank loans or may be restricted from trading the bank loans.

| • |  | C reditor Committees and Boards: Ad Hoc and/or Creditor and/or Steering Committee/Board Seats/Board Observer Rights: Access Persons may not sit on an ad hoc and/or creditor committee and/or steering committee of a portfolio company, sit on the board of a portfolio company and/or have board observer rights of a portfolio company without the pre-approval of Compliance.

| Ø | Ad Hoc and/or Creditor and/or Steering Committee. If approved, Access Persons may come into possession of NPI about the portfolio company. If NPI is received, Access Persons must immediately report such receipt to Compliance so a determination as to materiality can be made and whether the issuer should be added to the Restricted List.

| Ø | Board Seats and Board Observer Rights. If approved, the issuer will be added to the Restricted List.

Compliance will conduct due diligence in coordination with the investment team where there is the potential for receipt of MNPI via advisors with respect to ad hoc and/or creditor and/or steering committees. Such due diligence may include, without limitation, reviewing the policies and procedures and overall control environment of the advisors regarding their handling of potential MNPI and obtaining representations from such advisors in respect of their MNPI policies and procedures.

| • |  | Outside Activities: Subject to pre-approval from Compliance as outlined in the Code (see Outside Activities Policy), Access Persons may serve as a member or observer of the board of directors of a company (where such board seat or observer position is not held due to the request of Muzinich) or otherwise engage in an activity that presents a risk of receiving NPI about a public company. If NPI is received, Access Persons must immediately report such receipt to Compliance so a determination as to materiality can be made and whether the issuer should be added to the Restricted List.

| • |  | Value-Added Investors: The Company may become aware that certain clients or private fund investors (sometimes referred to as “value-added investors”) have access or potential access to

88

sensitive confidential information, including by virtue of their current or former association with public companies. Compliance will maintain a list of value-added investors of which Muzinich has become aware and the public companies associated with such investors. Compliance will monitor, on a sample basis, (i) client and personal account trading in companies associated with identified value-added investors, and (ii) electronic communications with such value-added investors.

Information Barrier: See Information Barrier Policy in this Compliance Manual.

Restricted List

A public issuer will be placed on the Restricted List if, at any time, it becomes known to the Company that it or its Access Persons have received MNPI. With regard to bank loans, a private issuer will be placed on the Restricted List if, at any time, the Company or its Access Persons have received “superior information” as discussed above. Furthermore, an issuer may be placed on the Restricted List at any time as determined by Compliance due to an actual or an appearance of a potential conflict. All Access Persons have an obligation to inform Compliance immediately when they become aware of such circumstances.

It is the responsibility of Compliance to place, remove, and review issuers on the Restricted List and review all personal transactions of Access Persons consistent with the procedures and requirements of the Code. Compliance may remove an issuer from the Restricted List when the Company is no longer in possession of the MNPI and/or it no longer presents an appearance of a potential conflict.

Transactions in Collateralized Loan Obligations (“CLOs “ )

CLOs are treated as securities, even though the loans underlying a CLO may not themselves be securities. Accordingly, before transacting, the Firm must assess whether it holds material nonpublic information (“MNPI”) that could be considered important by a reasonable investor in making a trading decision regarding the CLO, including MNPI relating to any known obligors in the collateral pool.

The Firm maintains an issuer-level Restricted List that identifies issuers about which MNPI has been obtained. Compliance is responsible for maintaining risk-based controls, based on information available to the Firm, to identify and manage potential CLO exposures to Restricted issuers and to prevent trading activity inconsistent with MNPI restrictions.

CLO transactions are subject to pre-trade screening reasonably designed to identify potential exposure to Restricted issuers, calibrated to information available to the Firm at the time of trade. Any transaction flagged through these controls may not proceed unless Compliance determines and documents that the trade is permissible.

Confidentially of Non-Public Information and MNPI

Access Persons are required to safeguard the confidentiality of any nonpublic information that may be in his/her possession and to ensure that such information is not used improperly or in a manner inconsistent with the specific purpose for which it was created or obtained.

Access Persons may not disclose to any person outside the Company that an issuer has been placed on the Restricted List except in circumstances in which Compliance has provided written approval that such Access Person may disclose the identity of an entity on the Restricted List.

89

Monitoring and Training

Compliance has primary responsibility for implementing, maintaining and enforcing this Insider Trading Policy. Compliance will:

| 1. | Provide Access Persons with training on an annual basis and address any questions arising under this Insider Trading Policy; and

| 2. | Resolve questions as to whether information received by an Access Person is MNPI.

Certification Requirement

On a periodic basis, no less than annually, each Access Person shall certify via StarCompliance that where they have become aware of MNPI, they have immediately notified Compliance and that they have followed the requirements of the Company’s Insider Trading Policy .

Violations

Penalties for trading based on or communicating MNPI to others can be severe, both for individuals involved in such unlawful conduct and their employers, including jail time, loss of licenses to practice and material monetary penalties. In addition, a violation of this Insider Trading Policy may result in serious sanctions by the Company, including possible dismissal of the persons involved.

90

C. | Gifts and Entertainment Policy

Policy Summary

The Company values its reputation for ethical behavior and is committed to maintaining the highest level of standards in the conduct of its business affairs. The actions and conduct of the Company’s employees as well as others acting on the Company’s behalf are key to maintaining these standards. Under no circumstances may an Access Person initiate or encourage the provision of a Gift or Entertainment from any person or organization. While Gifts and Entertainment are not prohibited from being given and received, they can create conflicts of interest. As such, Access Persons should be mindful of the value and frequency of Gifts and Entertainment given and received and shall comply with the pre-approval and reporting requirements herein.

Definitions

"Entertainment" - Refers to situations where the giver accompanies the recipient to an event including but not limited to, business meals, receptions, tickets28 to social or sporting events, participation in sporting events, or accommodations, given to or received from, a person/company with whom the Company has or is likely to have business dealings.

"Gift" - Includes, but is not limited to, tickets to social or sporting events (where the giver does not accompany the recipient to the event), candy, baskets, flowers and promotional items29, given to or received from, a person/company with whom the Company has or is likely to have any business dealings.

Gift does not include cash or cash equivalents (such as gift cards) which may not be given or received by an Access Person.

"Registered Representative" - Refers to any Firm employee who is registered with FINRA through Muzinich Capital LLC, the Firm’s affiliated broker-dealer.

Gifts and Entertainment Policy

Under no circumstances may an Access Person make charitable contributions in the name of the Company, herself or himself, or give any charitable contribution, Gift or Entertainment, to directly obtain or retain business or gain an improper business advantage. In addition, neither the Company nor its Access Persons may make a charitable contribution to any charity with the intention of influencing such charity to become a client. In addition to adhering to this Gifts and Entertainment Policy, and pre-approval requirements set forth herein, all Gifts or Entertainment (given or received) must be in compliance with the Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy and Political Contributions and Political Activities Policy. Gifts and Entertainment generally fall into the category of acceptable non-monetary benefits provided they are:

| 1. | Capable of enhancing the quality of service provided to clients;

| 2. | Of an appropriate scale and nature so they could not be judged to impair the Company’s duty to act honestly, fairly, and professionally in the best interest of its clients; and

| 3. | Reasonable, proportionate and of a scale that they are unlikely to influence the Company’s behavior in any way that is detrimental to the interest of its clients.

28 For Ltd. Staff ticketed events are considered Gifts, not Entertainment.

29 This does not include de minimis hospitality or branded merchandise (e.g. a pen/notebook).

91

Ltd. Staff shall review the Inducements Policy in the Ltd. Compliance Manual for more information.

Under no circumstances may an Access Person do indirectly what this Gifts and Entertainment Policy prohibits directly. Furthermore, Access Persons should notify Compliance about any actual or apparent conflict of interest in connection with any Gifts, Entertainment and/or charitable contribution, or about any contribution that could give an appearance of impropriety.

Pre-Approval and Reporting Requirements

Valuation

The currency involved with the thresholds outlined throughout this Gifts and Entertainment Policy is dependent upon whether the Access Person is an Inc. Staff or Ltd. Staff.30 The threshold values do not differ, however, the currency will. For example, an Access Person that is an Inc. Staff member has a gift threshold of greater than or equal to $100 (USD) whereas an Access Person that is a Ltd. Staff member will have a gift threshold of greater than or equal to €100 (Euros) or GBP, depending on location.

Gifts are valued per item per head and Entertainment per head. Access Persons shall consult with Compliance when they are unsure of the value of a Gift or Entertainment.

When a recipient brings a spouse, family member, friend, etc. (“Personal Guest”) to Entertainment, the per head value attributed to the recipient’s Personal Guest should be included as Entertainment for the recipient who brought the Personal Guest.

By way of example:

| • |  | Total cost of Entertainment in the below examples is 450. Total number of recipients is three.

| o | An Access Person entertained an external recipient and also invited the recipient’s Personal Guest. The reported value given to the Access Person is 150 and the value given to the external recipient is 300 (recipient and Personal Guest).

| ◾ | The Access Person must obtain pre-approval before giving this Entertainment as 300 is above the 250 threshold (thresholds discussed below in this Gifts and Entertainment Policy).

| o | An Access Person is being entertained by an external recipient and their Personal Guest is invited. The estimated reported value given to the Access Person is 300 (Access Person and their Personal Guest).

| ◾ | The Access Person must obtain pre-approval before receiving this Entertainment as 300 for the external recipient is above the 250 threshold (thresholds discussed below in this Gifts and Entertainment Policy).

Gifts

Pre-Approval. Access Persons must obtain pre-approval for Gifts (given or received) of 100 or over (or cumulative 100 in a calendar year to/from an individual).

30 For Access Persons who are dual employed by Muzinich & Co. Ltd. and Muzinich & Co., Inc. the currency is dependent on which entity they are representing when the Gift and/or Entertainment is being conducted.

92

All Access Persons must obtain preapproval before giving or receiving any Gift with a Government Official, regardless of value.

On a case-by-case basis, where customary business practices justify or where a particular Gift does not represent an inappropriate conflict of interest, Compliance may approve a Gift of 100 or more. It should be noted however, that such an exception is not related to Gifts given or received by Registered Representatives when related to broker-dealer activity.

Reporting. Within 30 calendar days after each quarter end, Access Persons must report all Gifts (given or received) during the calendar quarter, with the exception of de minimis hospitality or branded merchandise (e.g. a pen/notebook) which will not require reporting. This de minimis exception does not apply in connection to Gifts with Government Officials.

Entertainment

Pre-Approval. Access Persons must obtain pre-approval for Entertainment (given or received) of 250 or more. However, for Ltd. Staff, pre-approval is required for Entertainment for a ticketed event that is at or above 100.

Access Persons must obtain preapproval before giving or receiving any Entertainment with a Government Official, regardless of value.

On a case-by-case basis, where customary business practices justify or where a particular Entertainment does not represent an inappropriate conflict of interest, Compliance may approve Entertainment above the 100 or 250 thresholds outlined above.

Reporting. Within 30 calendar days after each quarter end, Registered Representatives and all Traders must report Entertainment (given or received) at or above 20 or cumulative at or above 50 in a calendar year to/from any individual. Inc. Staff (excluding Registered Representatives and Traders) and Ltd. Staff must report Entertainment (given or received) at or above 75 or cumulative at or above 75 during the calendar quarter. Access Persons must obtain preapproval and report all Entertainment (given or received) with Government Officials.

Gifts and Entertainment in Tabular Form

The below table restates the Gift and Entertainment thresholds in tabular form:

Per Event or Item (Giving & Receiving) |  | Pre-Approval Required |  | Reporting Required |  | No Notification
Gifts (For Ltd. Staff this also includes Entertainment that is a ticketed event only) |  | ≥ 100** (or cumulative 100 in a calendar year to/from an individual) |  | All |  | *
Entertainment Registered Representatives and all Traders |  | ≥ 250** |  | ≥ 20** (or cumulative total of 50 or above in a calendar year to/from any individual) |  | < 20** (and cumulative total below 50 in a calendar year to/from any individual)

93

Entertainment Inc. Staff (excluding Traders and Registered Representatives) and Ltd. Staff (excluding Traders) |  | ≥ 250** |  | ≥ 75** (or cumulative total of 75 or above in a calendar year to/from any individual) |  | <75** (and cumulative total below 75 in a calendar year to/from any individual)

*de minimis hospitality or branded merchandise (e.g. a pen/notebook) will not require reporting (with the exception of Government Officials).

**Access Persons must obtain preapproval and report all Gifts and Entertainment (given or received) with Government Officials.

The giving of Gifts or Entertainment for a business purpose paid from an Access Person’s own funds, rather than the Company’s funds, may still be covered by this Gifts and Entertainment Policy and should be reported to Compliance.

Charitable Contributions

Charitable donations made in the name of the Company must be preapproved by Compliance. In addition, if an Access Person receives a request to donate to any charity at the behest of any client or prospect, he or she must request pre-approval from Compliance.

Recordkeeping

For any Gift or Entertainment that must be reported in accordance with this Gifts and Entertainment Policy, Access Persons shall report it no later than 30 calendar days following each calendar quarter end via StarCompliance.

Records of all Gifts and Entertainment (given or received) whether submitted for preapproval or reporting shall be maintained in StarCompliance. Compliance is responsible for maintaining records of pre-approval, reporting and Compliance approvals or denials outlined in this Gifts and Entertainment Policy.

Monitoring

Compliance will periodically review the volume of Gifts and/or Entertainment given or received and adherence with this Gifts and Entertainment Policy. Such findings may be periodically reported to senior management and/or relevant board of the Company to assist in the management of potential conflicts of interest.

Questions and Exceptions

Questions about the applicability of this Gifts and Entertainment Policy should be directed to Compliance. Only Compliance may approve any exceptions to this Gifts and Entertainment Policy.

94

D. | Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy

Policy Summary

The Company values its reputation for ethical behavior and is committed to maintaining the highest level of standards in the conduct of its business affairs. The actions and conduct of Access Persons as well as others acting on the Company’s behalf are key to maintaining these standards . The Company has a zero tolerance policy towards bribery.

U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act 1977 (“FCPA”) and the UK Bribery Act 2010 outline offenses and penalties for bribery and corruption. These laws require the Company to implement ‘adequate policies and procedures’ to prevent bribery. This Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy applies to all Access Persons.

Some activities that may not at first seem like bribery may be considered bribery for purposes of these laws and/or any other applicable local laws as outlined in the Ltd. Compliance Manual. It is therefore important that Access Persons take the time to read and comply with this Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy and understand the many forms that bribery may take.

Understanding and Recognizing Bribery and Corruption

Acts of bribery or corruption are intended to influence an individual in the performance of his/her duty and incline him or her to act in a way that a reasonable person would consider to be improper in the circumstances. For the purposes of this Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy, bribery occurs when one person offers, pays, seeks or accepts a payment, gift, favor, or a financial or other advantage from another to influence an outcome improperly, or to induce or reward improper conduct.

Bribery and corruption, whether involving Government Officials or commercial entities, can be direct or indirect through third parties like agents, brokers, third party marketers and joint venture partners. To make so-called “facilitation payments” can constitute bribery (even when the making of the payment in the particular jurisdiction is considered usual or even legal). Facilitation payments (‘facilitating’, ‘speed’, ‘back-hander’, or ‘grease payments’) are any payments (usually of small value and in cash) made to low-level officials to secure or expedite the performance of a routine or necessary action or level of service.

Bribes are not always made in cash. Gifts, corporate hospitality and entertainment can be considered bribes if they are intended to influence a decision.

Penalties

Because of the Company’s corporate structure, both the UK Bribery Act and the FCPA and/or any other applicable local laws as outlined in the Ltd. Compliance Manual apply to the Company’s activities. The laws provide for significant penalties for both giving and receiving bribes, which may include prison sentences and fines for individuals and unlimited fines for companies.

Note that penalties have been imposed on companies for not having sufficient policies and procedures to prevent bribery, even in the absence of any evidence that bribery in fact occurred.

Risk Assessment

The Company monitors its risks associated with exposure to bribery and corruption, taking into account the jurisdictions in which the Company undertakes business and any relationships with associated persons (i.e. those performing services on behalf of the Company).

95

The Company considers that its overall bribery and corruption risk is low. This is due to the fact the Company generally only deals with Clients that are (i) regulated (either within the financial services sector or other sectors), (ii) reputable and well-established, (iii) based in jurisdictions which have a low risk of bribery and corruption, and/or (iv) are generally themselves subject to anti-bribery legislation.

Nevertheless, Access Persons must remain alert to bribery and corruption risks and observe this Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy at all times.

Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy

The Company will not tolerate bribery or corruption in any form. The Company prohibits bribery of or by any person or company, in any jurisdiction, wherever they are situated and whether they are a Government Official, private person or company, or by any individual Access Person, agent or other person acting on the Company’s behalf in order to:

| 1. | Gain any commercial, contractual or regulatory advantage for the Company in a way which is unethical; or

| 2. | Gain any personal advantage, pecuniary or otherwise, for the individual or anyone connected with the individual; or

| 3. | Induce the improper performance of any function that is of a public nature, connected with a business, performed by a person in the course of their employment; or influence any act or decision of a foreign Government Official.

Government Official

Although this Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy applies to both public and private sectors, dealing with Government Officials poses a particularly high risk in relation to bribery due to the strict anti-bribery and corruption rules and regulations in many countries. The provision of money or anything else of value, no matter how small, to any Government Official for the purpose of influencing them in their official capacity is prohibited.

Prior consultation with Compliance should be made in relation to:

| 1. | Any payment directly or indirectly to a Government Official (this does not include payments for governmental services that one is legally entitled to receive and as to which the Government Official has no discretion);

| 2. | Gifts and hospitality/entertainment in connection with a Government Official; and

| 3. | Making charitable contributions in connection with dealings with a Government Official.

Gifts

This Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy does not prohibit the giving or receiving of gifts, if such gift complies with the Company’s Political Contributions and Political Activities Policy, Gifts and Entertainment Policy, and local rules and regulations.

Third Party Agents

The Company may be held responsible for the actions of third parties acting on the Company’s behalf with respect to bribery and corruption. Nothing that is prohibited by this Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy may be done indirectly through a third party. Due diligence of service providers critical to the Company’s

96

business is undertaken by the Company as outlined in the Oversight of Outsourced Providers Policy and the Oversight of Service Providers Policy in the Compliance Manuals.

Political Contribution and Charitable Donation

Neither the Company nor its Access Persons may make any form of political contribution or charitable donation/sponsorship where that contribution/donation/sponsorship is made or in any way may be interpreted as a way of obtaining an improper advantage for the Company in business transactions. A political contribution for these purposes would include any payment or donation to a political party or organization including a trade union or to any lobbyist or lobbying group or to any candidate for election to public office.

Charitable donations should not be made by or on behalf of the Company if the contribution is or may in any way be interpreted as a means of improperly influencing any situation which may have an impact on the Company’s business. For example, this may be the case if a charity is supported by a high profile individual who is, or where the charity is, lobbying for a particular outcome which is relevant to the Company’s business.

Where any political contributions are to be made by Access Persons they may only be made with the prior approval of Compliance and in accordance with the Political Contributions and Political Activities Policy, where relevant. Where any political contributions or charitable donations/sponsorships are to be made by or on behalf of the Company, they may only be made with the prior approval of Compliance and in accordance with the Gifts and Entertainment Policy and Political Contributions and Political Activities Policy in the Code.

Conferences and Similar Events

When sending invitations to events or entertainment, Access Persons should check to see whether invitees fall under the description of a Government Official. For those that do, Access Persons should first seek preapproval from Compliance via StarCompliance before proceeding with sending any invitations.

Access Person Awareness

The prevention, detection and reporting of any bribery or corruption in any form is the responsibility of all Access Persons. If an Access Person becomes aware or suspects that an activity or conduct that is proposed or has taken place is a bribe or is corrupt, then the Access Person has a duty to report this to the Executive Chairman, Chief Legal Officer, Compliance and/or his/her direct manager. Reports can be made confidentially to Compliance.

Recordkeeping

Records of the pre-approval, reporting and Compliance approvals or denials with regard to activities with Government Officials as outlined in this Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy shall be maintained by Compliance. In addition, any reports of bribery or corruption and the investigations and resolutions of such reports shall be maintained by Compliance.

Training

Compliance is responsible for ensuring all Access Persons periodically undertake mandatory anti-bribery and corruption training, highlighting the specific sources of risk with respect to the Company’s activities.

97

E. | Outside Activities Policy

Policy Summary

Although the Company encourages Access Persons to participate in and provide leadership to community, charitable, and professional activities, such activities may result in a conflict of interest with the Company’s business from time to time. Personal interests must not affect the ability of an Access Person to make judgments or decisions in the best interests of the Company and its clients. Therefore, Access Persons shall seek to avoid situations in which he/she (or his/her Immediate Family) conducts activities that create actual, potential or perceived conflict of interest. It is the Company’s policy that outside activities must be reported to and/or preapproved by Compliance as outlined herein.

Any Access Person who engages in an approved outside activity shall not conduct such activities on the Company’s premises or behave in such manner that might imply that such activities are being conducted by or with the Company’s endorsement. This does not apply to circumstances when the outside activity relates to an Access Person serving as an officer, director, partner of a portfolio company.

Certain Ltd. Staff shall certify to Compliance, at least annually, that they have reported the following paid or unpaid activities via StarCompliance covering the past ten years:

| 1. | Directorships;

| 2. | Partnership interests; and

| 3. | Trusteeships.

Immediate Family Requirements

| 1. | Being employed by a broker dealer, investment adviser or other financial institution; or

F. | Conflicts of Interest Policy

Background

The Company and its Access Persons occupy a position of trust and confidence with respect to its clients. Clients rely on the Company’s integrity and objectivity to assist them in meeting their investment objectives. It is the Company’s policy to act with integrity and not permit any potential conflicts of interest to compromise its reputation for high standards and ethical behavior in the conduct of its business affairs.

In addition, the Company is required to take all appropriate steps to identify and manage actual and potential conflicts (i) between the interests of the Company and its Access Persons and/or Clients, and (ii) between the Company’s Clients.

When identifying conflicts of interest, the Company and its Access Persons consider whether they or the Company’s Clients:

| 1. | Are likely to make a financial gain, or avoid a loss, at the expense of a Client;

| 2. | Have an interest in the outcome of service or activity provided to a Client, or of a transaction carried out on behalf of a Client, which is distinct from the Client’s interest in that outcome;

| 3. | Have a financial or other incentive to favor the interests of one Client over another;

| 4. | Carry out the same business as the Client; or

| 5. | Receive or may receive an inducement from a person other than the Client in relation to services provided to the Client in the form of monetary or non-monetary benefits or services.

The Company regularly identifies potential conflicts of interest and takes appropriate action to eliminate or manage these potential conflicts.

Policy

The protection of Client interests is the Company’s first concern and therefore it is the Company’s policy that:

| 1. | Where conflicts are identified, the Company will seek to organize its business activities in a manner that avoids such conflicts;

| 2. | Where conflicts are unavoidable, the Company will take appropriate measures to seek to mitigate and manage such conflicts in a manner that seeks to ensure that the Company or its Access Persons are not advantaged, and that no Client is disadvantaged; and

| 3. | Where the Company is not reasonably confident that it is able to manage a particular conflict to adequately protect the interest of a Client, the Company must:

| i. | Clearly disclose in writing, the general nature and source of the conflict of interest to the Client before undertaking business for the client; and

| ii. | Provide sufficient detail to enable that particular Client to take an informed decision in relation to the conflict.

Disclosure may only be used as a way of managing conflicts of interest as a last resort.

Identification and Management of Conflicts of Interest

Conflicts of interest may exist among the Company, its Access Persons and its Clients or between more than one Client as a result of the intended or actual activities of the Company or its Access Persons. The

100

Company performs a conflicts of interest assessment on an annual basis, which is intended to identify conflicts that may occur at the Company or Access Person level, details of which are contained in its Conflicts of Interest Register.

Conflicts Training

All Access Persons receive a copy of this Conflicts of Interest Policy, and training in respect of conflicts of interest on an annual basis. In addition, all Access Persons are required to comply with the Company’s compliance procedures, including the Code and Ltd. Staff shall also refer to the Inducements Policy in the Ltd. Compliance Manual.

Access Person Responsibility

Access Persons should be alert for potential conflicts of interest in their everyday duties. If the conflicts are not covered by existing policies or procedures, Access Persons should contact Compliance for further guidance on how to manage or eliminate the conflict. If Compliance is unable to resolve the potential conflict in a manner that he/she believes is fair and appropriate, he/she will escalate the matter to senior management and/or the boards of the Company to discuss an appropriate resolution.

G. | Political Contributions and Political Activities Policy

Important Notice

All Access Persons must obtain pre-approval from Compliance before (i) s/he or his/her Immediate Family makes any direct or indirect Political Contribution, or (ii) s/he or his/her Immediate Family engages in certain political activities.

Capitalized terms are defined below in the Defined Terms section.

Background

Political Contributions made directly or indirectly by investment advisers to U.S. Officials or candidates for U.S. office that are in a position to influence the selection of the investment adviser for its advisory services can potentially undermine the fairness of the selection process for such services.

The Pay-to-Play Rules prohibit an investment adviser from providing investment advisory services for compensation to a state or local government entity within two years after that investment adviser or any of its Access Persons has made a Political Contribution. The Pay-to-Play Rules also provide that advisers must maintain records concerning (i) Political Contributions, (ii) the business it does with U.S. Government Entities, and (iii) the identity of its Access Persons.31

Furthermore, some U.S. States or local governments have passed laws that similarly disqualify contractors, including member firms or investment advisers, from providing services for compensation for a period of time.

Accordingly, the Company acknowledges the critical importance of having a robust policy and procedures in place in relation to Political Contributions and political activities.

Political Contributions and Political Activities Policy

The combination of the Pay-to-Play Rules and U.S. State or local government rules create a risk for the Company in relation to current ongoing relationships with U.S. Officials or U.S. Government Entities, who may, for example, have segregated accounts with the Company or investments in funds advised by the Company. The Company has policies and procedures in place for the identification of U.S Officials and U.S. Government Entities who are the Company’s clients or investors, new hire screening with regard to Political Contributions and screening of third party solicitors.

All Access Persons must obtain pre-approval from Compliance before (i) s/he or his/her Immediate Family makes any direct or indirect Political Contribution, or (ii) s/he or his/her Immediate Family engages in certain political activities.

31 SEC rules state that the investment adviser must maintain books and records including the following: names, titles, business addresses and residential addresses of its Covered Associates which are defined as Access Persons for the purposes of this Political Contributions and Political Activities Policy.

102

“Indirect” Political Contributions include: (i) Political Contributions made by an Access Person’s Immediate Family32, (ii) Political Contributions made via another member of the same household, (iii) Political Contributions made from an account controlled by the Access Person, (iv) agreeing to share the burden of a Political Contribution made by another person, (v) Political Contributions solicited from others by the Access Person, and (vi) allowing a third party marketer or solicitor to make a Political Contribution on behalf of the Company or an Access Person.

Activities that Require Pre-Approval from Compliance:

| 1. | Making a Political Contribution, directly or indirectly;

| 2. | Coordinating any political campaign;

| 3. | Conducting any Fundraising;

| 4. | Contributing to a charity controlled by a U.S. Official;

| 5. | Assuming any role with an organization that regularly engages in Fundraising and endorses U.S. Officials for office;

| 6. | Allowing one’s name to be used in connection with any Fundraising event; and

| 7. | Making any payment to any person in connection with solicitation of investment advisory business to be carried out for a U.S. Government Entity unless the recipient of the payment is a registered broker-dealer or a registered representative thereof or a registered investment adviser or affiliated person thereof.

Access Persons must not give and / or receive any gift or entertainment to any officer, employee or official representative of any U.S. Government Entity without pre-approval from Compliance. Please refer to the Gifts and Entertainment Policy for further information.

In addition to the above, each Access Person must adhere to the Company’s Outside Activities Policy and Conflicts of Interest Policy for any political activities.

Pre-Approval Procedure

To request pre-approval under this Political Contributions and Political Activities Policy, Access Persons must complete a request form on StarCompliance. Compliance may request additional information before deciding whether to grant approval.

Any pre-approved Political Contributions and/or political activities are subject to on-going reviews made against business development or solicitation activity.

Access Persons who work in the Marketing Department must notify Compliance immediately of any proposed investment advisory services to a U.S. Government Entity. This includes situations where 40 Act Funds may become an option in a U.S. government-sponsored plan.

32 An Access Person’s Immediate Family is not considered an Access Person under the Pay because the Pay-to-Play Rules prohibit Access Persons from doing anything indirectly that would be prohibited if done directly, the Company requires Access Persons to pre-approve all Political Contributions and political activities made by Immediate Family under this Political Contributions and Political Activities Policy.

103

Record Keeping

Compliance will maintain records setting forth in chronological order each Political Contribution and political activity made directly or indirectly by an Access Person and/or Immediate Family member for a period of seven years as well as required books and records on the Access Person as outlined herein. Compliance will also maintain a list of U.S. Government Entities that are clients of the Company or investors in a covered investment pool (as defined under the Pay-to-Play Rules) for which the Company is an adviser.

Access Person Screening

Access Persons must make certifications as to all Political Contributions made and political activities engaged in by the Access Person and/or his/her Immediate Family two years prior to becoming an Access Person and must thereafter certify on an annual basis that s/he has obtained pre-approval and has reported all Political Contributions and political activities required under this Political Contributions and Political Activities Policy to Compliance via StarCompliance.

Exceptions

Any exception(s) to this Political Contributions and Political Activities Policy may be approved solely at the discretion of Compliance. The rationale for any exception to this Political Contributions and Political Activities Policy shall be documented by Compliance.

Annual Review

This Political Contributions and Political Activities Policy is annually reviewed by Compliance.

Training and Support

Access Persons must receive compliance training at least on an annual basis, which shall include (among other matters) information in respect of matters pertaining to this Political Contributions and Political Activities Policy.
