(a) Per share numbers have been calculated using average shares outstanding, which more appropriately presents the per share data for the year.

(b) Amounts shown in this caption for a share outstanding may not accord with the change in aggregate gains and losses in securities for the fiscal period because of the timing of sales and repurchases of Fund shares in relation to fluctuating market values for the Fund.

(c) Total return is calculated assuming a purchase of shares at net asset value on the first day and a sale at net asset value on the last day of each period reported. Distributions are assumed, for the purpose of this calculation, to be reinvested at net asset value per share on the respective payment dates of each distribution. Total returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized. Broker commission charges are not included in this calculation.

(d) Does not include expenses of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests.

The Trust has entered into an Indemnification Agreement with each trustee who is not an "interested person" (as defined in the 1940 Act) (each, an "Independent Trustee") providing for indemnification of the Independent Trustee by the Trust consistent with the foregoing and providing procedures for seeking and obtaining indemnification advancement of expenses. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.

2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Segment Reporting

Each Fund has one reportable segment. Business activities are managed on a consolidated basis and revenues are derived primarily through each Fund's investments in accordance with its investment objective. Each Fund's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is the President of the Trust. The CODM assesses performance based on a Fund's Total Return as reported in the Financial Highlights, and the same accounting policies are applied as described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Each Fund's Total Return is utilized by the CODM to compare results, including the impact of a Fund's costs, to a Fund's competitors and to a Fund's benchmark index.

3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements:

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund is an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

#### Security Valuation
Each Fund's investments are valued at fair value each day that the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the NYSE is not open. Fair value is generally defined as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. By its nature, a fair value price is a good faith estimate of the valuation in a current sale and may not reflect an actual market price. The investments of each Fund are valued pursuant to the policy and procedures developed by the Oversight Committee (the "Committee") and approved by the Board. The Committee provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Funds. The Board has responsibility for overseeing the determination of the fair value of investments.

Valuation techniques used to value each Fund's investments by major category are as follows:

• Equity investments (including registered investment companies that are exchange-traded funds) traded on a recognized securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price, as applicable, on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last published sale price or at fair value.

• Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) or other unitized pooled investment vehicles that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that day's published net asset value ("NAV") per share or unit.

• Options are priced at their readily available market quotations on the principal market on which they are traded on the valuation date. Such readily available market quotations will generally reflect the mean of the last reported bid and ask prices. If the mean of the last reported bid and ask prices are deemed to be unavailable or unreliable, the last reported sale or official closing price, or an intrinsic value may be considered to value the option in accordance with the valuation policy and procedures approved by the Board.

In the event prices or quotations are not readily available or that the application of these valuation methods results in a price for an investment that is deemed to be not representative of the fair value of such investment, fair value will be determined in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with the valuation policy and procedures approved by the Board.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund's NAV and the prices used by the Funds' underlying benchmarks. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds' investments.

The Funds value their assets and liabilities at fair value using a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels that prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The categorization of a value determined for an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in it.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

• Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset or liability;

• Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and

• Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Committee's assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.

The value of each Fund's investments according to the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2025 is disclosed in each Fund's respective Schedule of Investments.

#### Investment Transactions and Income Recognition
Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of investments and foreign exchange transactions, if any, are determined using the identified cost method.

Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date, or when the information becomes available, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source, if any. Non-cash dividends, if any, received in the form of stock are recorded as dividend income at fair value. Distributions received by the Funds

may include a return of capital that is estimated by management. Such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains.

#### Expenses
Certain expenses, which are directly identifiable to a specific Fund, are applied to that Fund within the Trust. Other expenses which cannot be attributed to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of the Funds within the Trust.

#### Foreign Taxes
The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, stock dividends, realized and unrealized capital gains on investments or certain foreign currency transactions. Foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with SSGA FM understanding of the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Funds and are reflected in the Statements of Operations, if applicable. Foreign taxes payable or deferred as of December 31, 2025, if any, are disclosed in the Funds' Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

#### Distributions
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly. Some portion of each distribution may result in a return of capital. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed annually. Dividends may be declared and paid more frequently or at any other times to improve Index tracking or to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, (the "Internal Revenue Code") as amended. The amount and character of income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with applicable tax regulations which may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for U.S. GAAP purposes.

4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Derivative Financial Instruments

#### Options Contracts
The Funds may purchase and sell put and call options. Such options may relate to particular securities and may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange and issued by the Options Clearing Corporation. Options trading is a highly specialized activity that entails greater than ordinary investment risk. Options on particular securities may be more volatile than the underlying securities, and therefore, on a percentage basis, an investment in options may be subject to greater fluctuation than an investment in the underlying securities themselves.

During the period ended December 31, 2025, all the Funds entered into option contracts.

5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fees and Transactions with Affiliates

#### Advisory Fee
The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with SSGA FM. For its advisory services to the Funds, facilities furnished and expenses borne by the Adviser, each Fund pays the Adviser a fee ("Management/Advisory fee") of 0.35% that is accrued daily and paid monthly, based on a percentage of each Fund's average daily net assets.

With respect to each Fund, the Management fee is reduced by the acquired fund fees and expenses attributable to the Fund's investments in other investment companies (except acquired fund fees and expenses associated with holdings of acquired funds for cash management purposes). Each Fund's Management Fee was reduced by the acquired fund fees and expenses for the period ended December 31, 2025, and, as a result, the net annualized Management Fee was 0.27% for each Fund.

From time to time, the Adviser may waive all or a portion of its Management fee. The Adviser pays all expenses of each Fund other than the Management fee, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of the Trust's trustees, who are not "interested persons" of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act ("Independent Trustees") (including any Trustee's counsel fees), acquired fund fees and expenses, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses.

8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Shareholder Transactions

Each Fund issues and redeems its shares, at NAV, by each Fund only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof ("Creation Units"). Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of each Fund may consist of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of securities and a specified amount of cash. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to the Trust and/or custodian, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units, including Creation Units for cash. An additional variable fee may be charged for certain transactions. Such variable charges, if any, are included in "Other Capital" on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Income Tax Information

The Funds intend to qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent it distributes its taxable income, including any net realized capital gains, for each fiscal year. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required.

The Funds will file federal and various state and local tax returns as required. No income tax returns are currently under examination. Generally, the federal returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from date of filing, while the state returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon jurisdiction.

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-dividend date. Income dividends and gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax rules and regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

Certain capital accounts in the financial statements have been adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net asset values or results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in the future. These book-tax differences are primarily due to differing treatments for in-kind transactions, nontaxable dividend adjustments to income, straddle adjustments, wash sale loss deferrals, and distributions in excess of current earnings.

The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended December 31, 2025 was as follows:

10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Risks

#### Concentration Risk
As a result of the Funds' ability to invest a large percentage of their assets in obligations of issuers within the same country, state, region, currency or economic sector, an adverse economic, business or political development may affect the value of the Funds' investments more than if they were more broadly diversified.

#### Market Risk
Each Fund's investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or

recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, and general market liquidity. A Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness, such as COVID-19, or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on a Fund and its investments.

11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. Effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, the amendments require greater disaggregation of disclosures related to income taxes paid. The Funds have adopted ASU 2023-09 as of December 31, 2025, with no material impact on the Funds' financial statements.

12.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of December 31, 2025, the results of their operations, the changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the period from July 30, 2025 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2025, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

<u>Basis for Opinion</u>

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds' financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2025, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies advised by SSGA Funds Management, Inc. since 2023.

#### STATEMENT REGARDING BASIS FOR APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT

#### December 31, 2025 (Unaudited)

------

#### Investment Advisory Agreement for the New Funds
At a meeting held on May 1, 2025 (the "May Meeting"), the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") (the "Independent Trustees") of The Select Sector SPDR<sup>®</sup> Trust (the "Trust") met separately with their independent legal counsel to consider the approval of an initial Investment Advisory Agreement dated July 21, 2025 (the "New Funds Agreement"), between the Trust and SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the "Adviser") with respect to 11 new Select Sector SPDR<sup>®</sup> Premium Income series of the Trust (the "New Funds"), and in connection with that consideration, they reviewed information presented by the Adviser, State Street and others related to the services the Adviser will be providing to the New Funds under the New Funds Agreement.

At a meeting held on April 10, 2025 (the "April Meeting") and the May Meeting, the Independent Trustees also considered renewal of the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement, as amended (the "Agreement"), with respect to the other existing 11 series of the Trust (the "Existing Funds" and collectively with the New Funds, the "Funds"). The April Meeting and May Meeting included presentations regarding the New Funds by representatives of the Adviser and State Street during which the Independent Trustees and independent legal counsel were able to pose questions. Following the April Meeting, independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees requested certain clarifications and supplements to the materials provided, and those materials were considered at the May Meeting, during which the Independent Trustees also met separately with their independent legal counsel. In deciding whether to approve the New Funds Agreement, the Trustees considered various factors, including, among others, (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser under the New Funds Agreement, (ii) the investment objective and strategy for the New Funds, (iii) the projected costs to the Adviser of its services and the estimated profits and other benefits to be realized by the Adviser and its affiliate, State Street, from their relationships with the Trust, (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if and as the New Funds grow and whether the fee levels in the New Funds Agreement reflect a sharing of any such economies of scale and (v) the unitary paid under the New Funds Agreement compared to the fees paid by comparable funds.

#### Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser, the Trustees relied on their prior experience as Trustees of the Trust with regard to services currently provided by the Adviser to the Existing Funds, as well as on the materials provided at their regular quarterly board meetings and those provided specifically for purposes of reviewing the New Funds Agreement, including with respect to the New Funds. They noted that under the New Funds Agreement the Adviser is responsible for: (i) bearing certain operational expenses of the New Funds under the unitary fee arrangement, (ii) managing the investment operations of each of the New Funds in accordance with the Fund's investment objective and policies, applicable legal and regulatory requirements, and the instructions of the Trustees; (iii) providing necessary and appropriate reports and information to the Trustees; (iv) maintaining all necessary books and records pertaining to the Trust's securities transactions; and (v) furnishing each Fund with the assistance, cooperation and information necessary for the Fund to meet various legal requirements regarding registration and reporting. They noted the distinctive nature of the New Funds, as exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") investing in underlying ETFs that invest in sectors of the S&P 500 Index and writing ETF options, and the experience and expertise appropriate in an adviser to funds of that nature. The Trustees reviewed the background and experience of the Adviser's senior management, including those individuals responsible for the investment and compliance operations of the Trust, and the responsibilities of the latter with respect to the New Funds. They also considered the resources, operational structures and practices of the Adviser in managing the portfolios of the other series of the Trust, in monitoring and securing compliance by each other series of the Trust with its investment objective and policies and with applicable law and regulations, and in seeking best execution of portfolio transactions. Drawing upon the materials provided and their general knowledge of the business of the Adviser and its affiliate, State Street Global Advisors Trusty Company, with which the Adviser shares all of its senior personnel, the Trustees took into account the experience, resources and strength of the Adviser and its affiliates in the areas of indexed products generally, and ETFs in particular. On the basis of this review, the Trustees determined that the nature and extent of the services to be provided by the Adviser to the New Funds could be expected to be appropriate and of high quality.

#### Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates
The Trustees considered the profitability of the advisory arrangement with the New Funds to the Adviser and of the Trust's relationship with the Adviser's affiliate, State Street, in its role as Sub-Administrator, Transfer Agent, Custodian and Fund Accountant. The Trustees reviewed with representatives from both the Adviser and State Street the methods by which expenses were allocated to the Trust and to each of the other series of the Trust. On the basis of this information and discussions at the April Meeting and the May Meeting, the Trustees concluded that the projected profitability was not such as to render the advisory fee to be paid by the New Funds to be excessive.

#### STATEMENT REGARDING BASIS FOR APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT (continued)

#### December 31, 2025 (Unaudited)

------

#### Other Benefits to the Adviser or its Affiliates
In considering whether the Adviser benefits in other ways from its relationship with the Trust, the Trustees noted that the Adviser will not use the Funds' assets for, or participate in, third party soft dollar arrangements. It was further noted that the Trust's brokerage transactions will not be effected through the Adviser or any of its affiliates. The Trustees noted that the Adviser serves as Administrator to the Trust; State Street, an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as Sub-Administrator, Transfer Agent, Custodian and Fund Accountant for the Trust; and State Street Global Advisors Fund Distributors, LLC ("SSGA FD"), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the New Funds' Distributor. At the May Meeting, the Trustees approved the Adviser, State Street, and SSGA FD serving in these roles for the New Funds. The Trustees also noted that the New Funds may invest in registered money market funds advised by the Adviser for cash management purposes and from which the Adviser receives a fee. The Trustees considered that, based on their review of the arrangements for those services, any benefit the Adviser or the Adviser's affiliates will receive from providing those services appears to be appropriate. The Trustees concluded that, to the extent that the Adviser or its affiliates derive other benefits from their relationships with the Trust or will derive other benefits from their relationships with the New Funds, those benefits are not such as to render the Adviser's fees excessive.

#### Economies of Scale
The Board reviewed information regarding economies of scale or other efficiencies that may result as the New Funds' assets grow in size. The Board noted that the advisory fee rate for the New Funds does not provide for breakpoints as assets of the New Funds increase. However, the Adviser asserted that one of the benefits of the unitary fee was to provide an unvarying expense structure, which could be lost or diluted with the addition of breakpoints. The Board noted that it intends to continue to monitor fees as the New Funds grow in size and assess whether fee breakpoints may be warranted.

#### Comparison of Fees and Expense Ratios
In order to better evaluate the New Funds' proposed unitary fee, the Independent Trustees requested information with respect to expense ratios and fees of comparable funds, and the Adviser provided: (1) comparative data from Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge") on peer funds, and (2) expense ratios of peer ETFs with a similar investment classification/objective. The Trustees found that, because of the distinctive nature of the New Funds, the universe of comparable funds and accounts was limited. The Trustees also considered that the unitary fee will be reduced by acquired fund fees and expenses. Based on all of the information provided, the Board concluded that the unitary advisory fee to be charged to the New Funds was reasonable and appropriate in light of the services to be provided and the administrative, operational, and management oversight costs for the Adviser.

#### Conclusion
Based on their review, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, as required by the 1940 Act, approved the New Funds Agreement for each New Fund. In deciding to approve the New Funds Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all important or controlling and considered all factors together. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors. They reasoned that, considered in themselves, the nature and extent of the services to be provided by the Adviser were expected to be appropriate, that the performance of the other series of the Trust had been satisfactory, and that the Adviser could be expected to provide services of high quality. The Board's conclusions with respect to the factors were as follows: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services expected to be provided by the Adviser with respect to the New Funds was appropriate; (b) the Adviser's unitary fee for the New Funds, considered in relation to the services expected to be provided, and in relation to the fees charged to comparable funds, was reasonable; and (c) any additional potential benefits to the Adviser or its affiliates were not of a magnitude to materially affect the Board's conclusions.

## Ex-99.Code

**Exhibit 19(a)(1)** 

**The Select Sector SPDR<sup>®</sup> Trust** 

**<u>CODE OF CONDUCT FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND</u>**

**<u>PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL OFFICERS</u>**

I. **Covered Officers/Purpose of the Code** 

This Code of Conduct (the "Code") shall apply to The Select Sector SPDR<sup>®</sup> Trust's (the "Trust") Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, Controller, Principal Accounting Officer and persons performing similar functions (the "Covered Officers," each of whom is named in <u>Exhibit A</u> attached hereto) for the purpose of promoting:

• honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between
personal and professional relationships;

• full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Trust files with, or
submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and in other public communications made by the Trust;

• compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;

• the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the
Code; and

• accountability for adherence to the Code.

Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.

II. **Covered Officers Should Handle Ethically Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest** 

**Overview.** A "conflict of interest" occurs when a Covered Officer's private interest interferes with the interests of, or his service to, the Trust. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his position with the Trust. Covered Officers must avoid conduct that conflicts, or appears to conflict, with their duties to the Trust. All Covered Officers should conduct themselves such that a reasonable observer would have no grounds for belief that a conflict of interest exists. Covered Officers are not permitted to self-deal or otherwise to use their positions with the Trust to further their own or any other related person's business opportunities.

This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace the programs and procedures or codes of ethics of the Trust's investment adviser or distributor.

------

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts may arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Trust and its service providers, including investment adviser, of which the Covered Officers may be officers or employees. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Trust, the investment adviser, or other service providers), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the service providers and the Trust. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Trust and its service providers and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Trust. Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("Investment Company Act") and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended ("Investment Advisers Act"), such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this or other codes.

The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the Trust.

\* \* \* \*

Each Covered Officer must not:

• use his personal influence or personal relationship improperly to influence investment decisions or financial
reporting by the Trust whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Trust;

• cause the Trust to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered
Officer rather than the benefit of the Trust;

• retaliate against any other Covered Officer or any employee of the Trust or its affiliated persons for reports of
potential violations by the Trust of applicable rules and regulations that are made in good faith; or

• use material non-public knowledge of portfolio transactions made or
contemplated for the series of the Trust to trade personally or cause others to trade personally in contemplation of the market effect of such transactions.

Each Covered Officer must discuss certain material conflict of interest situations with the Trust's Audit Committee. Examples of such situations include:

• service as a director, trustee, general partner, or officer of any unaffiliated business organization. This rule
does not apply to charitable, civic, religious, public, political, or social organizations, the activities of which do not conflict with the interests of the Trust;

------

• the receipt of any gifts, excluding branded promotional items valued at U.S. 50$ or less;

• the receipt of any entertainment from any company with which the Trust has current or prospective business
dealings unless such entertainment is business-related, reasonable in cost, appropriate as to time and place, and not so frequent as raise any question of impropriety;

• any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Trust's service
providers, other than its investment adviser, principal underwriter, administrator, sub-administrator, transfer agent, custodian or any affiliated person thereof; and

• a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by the Trust for
effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer's employment, such as compensation or equity ownership.

III. **Disclosure and Conduct** 

• Each Covered Officer will monitor the compliance of the Trust and the Trust's service providers with
federal or state statutes, regulations or administrative procedures that affect the operation of the Trust.

• Each Covered Officer should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Trust to
others, whether within or outside the Trust, including to the Trust's Board, Trust's Audit Committee and the Trust's independent auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulators and self-regulatory organizations.

• Each Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his or her area of responsibility, consult with
other officers and employees of the Trust and its service providers with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Trust files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public
communications made by the Trust.

• Each Covered Officer will exhibit and promote the highest standards of honest and ethical conduct through the
establishment and operation of policies and procedures that encourage professional integrity in all aspects of the Trust's operations.

IV. **Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations** 

• The Trust's Audit Committee is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions
are presented under it and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation, including providing any approvals or waivers sought by the Covered Persons.

------

• It is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions
imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

• In the event of any question of interpretation of the requirements under this Code, Covered Officers shall
consult with the Audit Committee in order to assure compliance with the Code.

V. **Reporting and Accountability** 

Each Covered Officer must:

• upon adoption of this Code (or thereafter as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), sign and return a
report in the form of <u>Exhibit B</u> to the Trust's compliance officer affirming that he or she has received, read, and understands the Code;

• annually sign and return a report in the form of <u>Exhibit C</u> to the Trust's compliance officer as an
affirmation that he or she has complied with the requirements of the Code; and

• notify the Trust's Audit Committee promptly if he or she knows of any violation of this Code. Failure to do
so is itself a violation of this Code.

The Audit Committee will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:

• The Audit Committee will take all appropriate actions to investigate any potential violations reported to the
Committee.

• If, after such investigation, the Audit Committee believes that no violation has occurred, the Audit Committee is
not required to take any further action.

• Any matter that the Audit Committee believes is a violation of this Code will be reported to the full Board.

• If the Board concurs that a violation has occurred, it will notify the appropriate personnel of the applicable
service provider and may dismiss the Covered Officer as an officer of the Trust.

• The Audit Committee will be responsible for granting waivers of provisions of this Code, as appropriate.

• Any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.

------

VI. **Other Policies and Procedures** 

This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Trust for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Trust, the Trust's investment adviser, principal underwriter, or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code. The Trust's investment adviser's and principal underwriter's codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act and the investment adviser's more detailed policies and procedures are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part of this Code.

VII. **Amendments** 

Any amendments to this Code, other than amendments to <u>Exhibit A</u>, must be approved or ratified by a majority vote of the Board, including a majority of Independent Trustees.

VIII. **Confidentiality** 

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the Trust's Board or Audit Committee.

IX. **Internal Use** 

The Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Trust and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of Trust, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.
