Exhibit 14.1 Diamond Hill Investment Group, Inc.Code of Business Conduct and EthicsAdopted: February 10, 2004Amended: November 13, 2008 This Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the Code) sets forth the commitment of Diamond Hill Investment Group, Inc.
and its affiliates (the Company) to conduct its business in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and
regulations and the highest ethical standards. This Code does not cover every issue that may arise; instead it sets out
basic principles to guide all directors, officers and employees of the Company with respect to conducting themselves in
a professional and ethical manner. Those basic principles are designed to determine wrongdoing and to promote:  (1)
    
    honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between
personal and professional relationships;  (2)
    
    full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with,
or submits to the SEC, and other public communication made by the Company;  (3)
    
    compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;  (4)
    
    prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to the appropriate persons identified in this Code; and  (5)
    
    accountability for adherence to this Code.  1.
    
    COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS Obeying applicable laws, rules and regulations, both in letter and in spirit, is the foundation on which this Companys
ethical standards are built. It is the personal responsibility of each director, officer and employee of the Company
to adhere to the standards and restrictions imposed by all applicable laws, rules and regulations. While it cannot be
expected that each director, officer or employee of the Company is or will be aware of the details of every law, rule
or regulation applicable to the Company, it is important for each director, officer and employee of the Company to, at
a minimum, reach that level of knowledge and awareness regarding these laws, rules and regulations which allows him or
her to seek advice from others regarding compliance with those laws, rules and regulations. If any director, officer or
employee of the Company determines that he or she needs to seek advice regarding issues concerning compliance with
applicable laws, rules and regulations, that person should ask the Chief Compliance Officer for such advice before
taking any action. All directors, officers and employees of the Company are expected to read and have a complete understanding of the Code
of Ethics of Diamond Hill Funds and Diamond Hill Capital Management, Inc. (adopted June 30, 2002), and as amended from
time to time.  1

All directors, officers and employees of the Company are expected to read and have a complete understanding of Audit
Committee Policies and Procedures for Handling Complaints Regarding Accounting and Auditing Matters (the Whistleblower
Procedures) (adopted February 10, 2004), and as amended from time to time. If requested, the Company will hold information and training sessions to promote compliance with the laws, rules and
regulations applicable to the Company.  2.
    
    CONFLICTS OF INTEREST A conflict of interest exists when the private interest of an officer, director or employee of the Company interferes
in any way with the interests of the Company. A conflict situation can arise when an employee, officer or director of
the Company takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult for him or her to perform his or her work
objectively and effectively. In particular, an employee, officer or director of the Company must never use or attempt
to use his or her position at the Company to obtain any improper personal benefit (such as loans or guaranties of
obligations of the officer, director or employee) for himself or herself, for his or her family members, or for any
other person. It is almost always a conflict of interest for an officer, director or employee of the Company to work simultaneously
for a competitor. A conflict of interest is prohibited as a matter of Company policy, unless the conflict has been
approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the Board). Conflicts of interest may not always be readily
apparent, so if an employee, officer or director of the Company has a question regarding any matter that may present a
conflict of interest, that person should immediately consult with the Chief Compliance Officer. Also, any employee,
officer or director of the Company who becomes aware of a conflict or potential conflict should immediately bring it to
the attention of the Chief Compliance Officer.  3.
    
    PUBLIC DISCLOSURE It is the Companys policy that the information in its public communications, including filings to be made with or
submitted to the SEC, be full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable. All officers, directors and employees of the
Company who are involved in this disclosure process are responsible for acting in furtherance of this policy and are
responsible for promptly informing any member of the Board of any material information of which he or she becomes aware
that may affect the disclosures made by the Company in its public filings. In particular, these individuals are
required to maintain familiarity with the disclosure requirements applicable to the Company and are prohibited from
knowingly misrepresenting, omitting, or causing others to misrepresent or omit, material facts about the Company or its
operations to others, whether within or outside the Company, including the Companys independent auditors. In addition,
any officer, director or employee of the Company who has a supervisory role in the Companys disclosure process has an
obligation to discharge his or her responsibilities diligently. 2  2

    CONFIDENTIALITY; INSIDER TRADING In conducting the Companys business, officers, directors and employees of the Company may learn confidential or
proprietary information about the Company, its clients, its prospective clients or other third parties. All officers,
directors and employees of the Company must maintain the confidentiality of such information, except where disclosure
is authorized or legally mandated. Confidential or proprietary information includes, without limitation, any
non-public information concerning the Company (or clients, prospective clients or third parties), its, his or her
business, financial performance or prospects, and any non-public information provided by a third party to the Company
with the expectation that the information be kept confidential and used solely for the business purposes for which it
was conveyed. All officers, directors and employees of the Company who have had access to confidential or proprietary information are
prohibited from using or sharing that information in connection with the buying and selling of any of the Companys
securities. If any officer, director or employee of the Company has any question regarding whether information is
confidential or proprietary information, that person should discuss the matter with the Chief Compliance Officer as
soon as such question arises. All directors, officers and employees of the Company are expected to read and have a complete understanding of the
Insider Trading Policy of Diamond Hill Investment Group, Inc. (adopted prior to 2000), and as amended from time to
time.  5.
    
    CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES Employees, officers and directors of the Company owe a duty to the Company to advance its legitimate interests when the
opportunity to do so arises. No employee, officer or a director of the Company may use Company property, information or
position for improper personal gain or competing with the Company, directly or indirectly. Employees, officers and
directors of the

Company are also prohibited from taking for themselves (or directing to a third party) a business opportunity that is
discovered through the use of Company property, information or position without the consent of the Board. Any employee, officer or director of the Company who has any question as to whether or not the use of Company property,
information or position would violate this Code should, prior to taking any course of action, contact the Chief
Compliance Officer. 3  3

6.
    
    COMPETITION, FAIR DEALING, AND CIRCULATION OF RUMORS The Company seeks to serve its clients fairly and honestly. Each employee, officer and director of the Company should
endeavor to respect the rights of and deal fairly with the Companys clients, suppliers and competitors. No employee,
officer or director of the Company should take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse of
privileged information, misrepresentation of material facts or any other intentional unfair dealing practice. No employee shall originate or circulate in any manner a rumor concerning any security which the employee knows or has
reasonable grounds for believing is false or misleading or would improperly influence the market price of such
security. Employees must promptly report to the Chief Compliance Officer any circumstance which reasonably would lead
the employee to believe that any such rumor might have been originated or circulated.  7.
    
    EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY AND HARASSMENT All personnel decisions made by the Company are based on merit and contribution to the Companys success. Concern for
the personal dignity and individual worth of every employee, officer or director of the Company is an indispensable
element in the standard of conduct that the Company has set for itself. The Company will afford equal employment
opportunities to all qualified persons without regard to any impermissible criterion or circumstance. The

Company will not tolerate or condone any type of discrimination or harassment of any kind.  8.
    
    CLIENT OR VENDOR ENTERTAINMENT AND GIFTS Directors, officers and employees are expected to exercise prudent judgment in conducting business entertainment.
Directors, officers and employees should avoid entertainment situations and locations that may be offensive or cause
embarrassment to the Company, its image and reputation and avoid entertainment situations that may be considered
excessive. Any type of participation in entertainment as described above is prohibited and non-reimbursable. Directors, officers, and employees are prohibited from accepting from any customer or vendor any amount in excess of
$100 per year in the form of gifts or gratuities, or as compensation for services (Gifts). Any Gifts received in
excess of $100 cumulatively for the year, shall either be returned to customer or vendor, or given to the Chief
Compliance Officer, who will determine how to appropriately handle the Gift. Directors, officers and employees are prohibited from giving to any individual natural person, who is either a customer
or an employee of a customer, any amount in excess of $100 per year in the form Gifts. All Gifts given must be
recorded and maintained on a log, which has been established to track such Gifts. 4  4

    RECORD-KEEPING The Company requires honest and accurate recording and reporting of information in order to make responsible business
decisions. All of the Companys books, records, accounts and financial statements must be maintained in reasonable
detail, must appropriately reflect the Companys transactions and must conform both to applicable legal requirements
and to the Companys system of internal controls. Business records and communications may become public. The officers, directors and employees of the Company should
avoid exaggeration, derogatory remarks or inappropriate characterizations of people or entities that may be
misunderstood. This applies equally to e-mail, internal memoranda and formal reports. Records should always be retained
or destroyed according to the Companys record retention policies, a copy of which is available upon request from the
Chief Compliance Officer.  10.

incident of fraud or theft should be immediately reported to the Chief Compliance Officer for investigation. The obligation of employees, officers and directors of the Company to protect the Companys assets includes the
obligation to protect the Companys proprietary information. Proprietary information includes, without limitation, the
Companys intellectual property such as trade secrets, and the Companys business, marketing and service plans,
databases, records, salary information and any unpublished financial data and reports. Unauthorized use or distribution
of this information is prohibited hereunder and could also be illegal and result in civil or even criminal penalties.  11.
    
    PAYMENTS TO GOVERNMENT PERSONNEL The U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act prohibits giving anything of value, directly or indirectly, to officials of
foreign governments or foreign political candidates in order to obtain or retain business. It is strictly prohibited to
make illegal payments to government officials of any country. In addition, the U.S. government has a number of laws and regulations regarding business gratuities which may be
accepted by U.S. government personnel. State and local governments, as well as foreign governments, may have similar
rules. The promise, offer or delivery to an official or employee of the any governmental agency of a gift, favor or
other gratuity in violation of these rules is prohibited hereunder and could also be a criminal offense. If any
officer, director or employee of the Company has any question regarding any possible payment or issuance of a gratuity
to a governmental official, he or she should immediately contact the Chief Compliance Officer. 5  5

and set forth his, her or their findings in writing. Such writing shall also include the enforcement action to be
taken, which action shall be taken at the time set forth in such writing. Any enforcement action shall be reasonably
designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote accountability for adherence to this Code. In determining what enforcement
action is appropriate in a particular case, the person or persons making the determination shall take into account all
relevant information, including the nature and severity of the violation, whether the violation was a single occurrence
or repeat occurrence, whether the violation appears to have been intentional or inadvertent, whether the individual in
question had been advised prior to the violation as to the proper course of action and whether the individual in
question had committed other violations in the past. The Company is aware that it may be difficult to know if a violation of this Code has occurred or may occur in the
future. However, each officer, director or employee of the Company should strive to identify and raise potential issues
with respect to the application of this Code before those issues become violations of this Code. 6  6
