     This Code of Ethics (the "Code") of Meyers Investment Trust (the "Trust"),
                               ----                                    -----

behalf of Meyers Pride Value Fund (the "Fund"), pursuant to Rule  17j-1 under
                                        ----
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act") to establish rules of
                                                     ---
conduct for "Access Persons" (as defined in this Code) of the Trust.  For
purposes of this Code, Access Persons shall include:  (i) any director, officer,
or general partner of a fund or of a fund's investment adviser, or any employee
of a fund or of a fund's investment adviser who, in connection with his or her
regular functions or duties, participates in the selection of a fund's portfolio
securities or who has access to information regarding a fund's future purchases
or sales of portfolio securities; or (ii) any director, officer, or general
partner of a principal underwriter who, in the ordinary course of business,
makes, participates in or obtains information regarding the purchase or sale of
securities for the fund for which the principal underwriter acts, or whose
functions or duties in the ordinary course of business relate to the making of
any recommendation to the fund regarding the purchase or sale of securities.

     For purposes of this section, a person does not become an Access Person
                          -------
solely by reason of (i) normally assisting in the preparation of public reports
or receiving public reports, but not receiving information about current
                                                                 -------

current recommendations or trading activity, or infrequently and inadvertently
-------

2.   PROHIBITIONS. - Personal Transactions in Securities
     ------------    -----------------------------------

          A.    Prohibited Conduct
                ------------------

     Advance clearance must be obtained for any personal transaction in a
security by an Access Person if such Access Person has, or as a result of the
transaction acquires, any direct or indirect beneficial ownership in the
security.  For purposes of this section, a person generally is deemed to have a
beneficial ownership in securities if:  (i) the person, directly or indirectly,
through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise,
has or shares (a) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct
the voting of, the securities, and/or (b) investment power, which includes the
                               ------
power to dispose of, or to direct the disposition of, the securities; and (ii)
                                                                      ---
the person, directly or indirectly, through any
<PAGE>

contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, has or shares a
direct or indirect pecuniary interest in the securities. A person is deemed to
have voting and/or investment power with respect to securities as interpreted by
reference to Rule 16a-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
except that the determination of direct or indirect beneficial ownership for
purposes of the Code must be made with respect to all securities that an Access
Person has or acquires. Generally, a person is deemed to have beneficial
ownership if the person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership in the
security within sixty (60) days, including any right to acquire the security
through the exercise of any option, warrant or right; the conversion of a
security; pursuant to the power to revoke a trust, discretionary account or
similar arrangement; or pursuant to the automatic termination of a trust,
discretionary account or similar arrangement.

            (1)     Access Persons who are not Independent Trustees
                    -----------------------------------------------

               (a)  No Access Person shall buy or sell any security for his own
                    account or for an account in which he has, or as a result of
                    the transaction acquires, any direct or indirect beneficial
                    ownership (referred to herein as a "personal transaction")
                    unless:

                    (i)  preclearance of the transaction has been obtained; and

                    (ii) the transaction is reported in writing to the Trust in
                         accordance with the requirements of Section 4 below.

               (b)  No Access Person shall purchase or sell, directly or
                    indirectly, any security in which he has, or by reason of
                    such transaction acquires, any direct or indirect beneficial
                    ownership (as defined above) and which he knows or should
                    have known at the time of such purchase or sale;

                    (i)  is being considered for purchase or sale by the Trust;
                         (for purposes of this subsection, a security is "being
                                               ----------
                         considered for purchase or sale" when a recommendation
                         to purchase or sell a security has been made and
                         communicated and, with respect to the person making the
                         recommendation, when such person seriously considers
                         making such a recommendation); and

                    (ii) is being purchased or sold by the Trust.

               (c)  No Access Person shall recommend any securities transaction
                    by the Trust without having disclosed his interest, if any,
                    in such securities or the issuer of the securities,
                    including without limitation:

                                       2

                    (i)   his direct or indirect beneficial ownership of any
                          securities of such issuer;

                    (ii)  any contemplated transaction by such  person in such
                          securities;

                    (iii) any position with such issuer or its affiliates; and

                    (iv)  any present or proposed business relationships between
                          such issuer or its affiliates and such person or any
                          party in which such person has a significant interest.

               (d)  No Access Person shall, directly or indirectly in connection
                    with the purchase or sale of any securities held or to be
                    acquired by the Trust:

                    (i)   employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud the
                          Trust;

                    (ii)  make to the Trust any untrue statement of a material
                          fact or omit to state to the Trust a material fact
                          necessary in order to make the statements made, in
                          light of the circumstances under which they are made,
                          not misleading; or

                    (iii) engage in any act, practice or course of business
                          which operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit
                          upon the Trust.

     For purposes of this section, the term "security" shall have the meaning
                          -------
set forth in Section 2(a)(36) of the Act, except that it shall not include
securities issued by the Government of the United States, short term securities

bankers' acceptances, bank certificates of deposit, commercial paper, shares of
registered open-end investment companies and such other money market
instruments, as designated by the Board of Trustees of the Trust.

            (2)   Access Persons who are Independent Trustees
                  -------------------------------------------

     An Access Person, who is an independent trustee and not an "interested
person" as defined in the Act (an "Independent Trustee"), shall be required to
report a transaction on Attachment A attached hereto, only if such person, at
the time of that transaction, knew, or in the ordinary course of fulfilling
his/her official duties as trustee should have known, that during the 15-day
period immediately preceding or after the date of the transaction by such
person, the security such person purchased or sold is or was purchased, or sold
by such company or was being considered for purchase or sale by such company or
its investment adviser.

          C.    Restrictions and Limitations on Personal Securities Transactions
                ----------------------------------------------------------------

     The following restrictions and limitations govern investments and personal
securities transactions by Access Persons, except Independent Trustees.  All
restrictions and limitations contained in this section 2C are applicable to all
Access Persons except Independent Trustees:

          (1)   Private placements of any kind may only be acquired with special
permission from the Designated Supervisory Person and Compliance Officer, and,
if approved, will be subject to continuous monitoring for possible future
conflict.  Any Access Person wishing to request approval for private placements
must complete an Access Person Preclearance Request Form and submit the form to
the Designated Supervisory Person and Compliance Officer.  A copy of this form,
which may be revised

                                       4
<PAGE>

from time to time, is attached hereto as Attachment E. Where the Designated
Supervisory Person and Compliance Officer approves any acquisition of private
placements, its decision and reasons for supporting the decision will be
documented in a written report, which is to be kept for five years after the end
of the fiscal year in which the approval was granted.

          (2)   Access Persons may only acquire a security in an Initial Public
Offering (IPO) with special permission of the Designated Supervisory Person and
Compliance Officer, and if approved, will be subject to continuous monitoring
for possible future conflict.  Any Access Person wishing to request approval for
an IPO must complete an Access Person Preclearance Request Form, as described
above, and submit the form to the Designated Supervisory Person and Compliance
Officer.  Where the Designated Supervisory Person and Compliance Officer
approves any acquisition of IPOs, its decision and reasons for supporting the
decision will be documented in a written report, which is to be kept for five
years after the end of the fiscal year in which the approval was granted.

          (3)   Any Access Person who has a personal position in an issuer
through a private placement must affirmatively disclose that interest if such
Access Person is involved in consideration of any subsequent investment decision
regarding any security of that issuer or its affiliate.  In such event, the
final investment decision shall be independently reviewed by the Compliance
Officer.  Written records of any such circumstance shall be maintained and sent
to the Designated Supervisory Person.

       D.     Preclearance Requirement
              ------------------------

          (1)   Procedures
                ----------

     The Designated Supervisory Person is designated by the Trust to monitor the
overall compliance with this Code.  As of the date hereof, the Designated
Supervisory Person is Laila Poveda. The Compliance Officer is designated by the
Trust to provide final review and approval with respect to the compliance with
this Code.  As of the date hereof, the Compliance Officer is Kathleen McGinnis.
The designations included herein made by the Trust may be amended from time to
time.

            (a) From Whom Obtained
                ------------------

     Subject to the limitations and restrictions of Subsection 2.C. above,
advance preclearance of a personal transaction in a security must be obtained
from both the Designated Supervisory Person and Compliance Officer of the Trust.

     Prior to obtaining the signature of the Compliance Officer, the form must
be approved by the Designated Supervisory Person.

     The Compliance Officer will not sign unless the approval of the Designated
Supervisory Officer is indicated on the form.  The Trust has implemented
procedures reasonably designed to monitor purchases and sales effected pursuant
to the aforementioned preclearance procedures.

                                       5
<PAGE>

               (b)  Time of Preclearance
                    --------------------

     All approved securities transactions must take place (prior to 4:00 p.m.
EST) within five business days from and including the date on which complete
advance preclearance is obtained.  If the transaction is not completed on the
final day of preclearance, a new preclearance must be obtained, including one
for any uncompleted portion.  Post-approval is not permitted under the Code of
Ethics.  If it is determined that a trade was completed before approval, it will
be considered a violation of the Code of Ethics.

               (c)  Form
                    ----

     Preclearance must be obtained by completing and signing the Access Person
Preclearance Request Form provided (as described above) for that purpose by the
Trust and obtaining signatures as indicated in sub-section 2.D.(1)(a) above.

               (d)  Filing
                    ------

     After all required signatures are obtained, the Access Person Preclearance
Request Form must be filed with the Designated Supervisory Person by noon of the
day prior to execution of such trade, for filing in the respective individual's
Code of Ethics file and a copy forwarded to the Compliance Officer for final
review and approval, as described below.  A copy is retained by the Access
Person for his or her records. (If a preclearance request is denied, a copy of
the form will be maintained with the Designated Supervisory Person.)

            (2)     Factors Considered in Preclearance of Personal Transactions
                    -----------------------------------------------------------

     In addition to the limitations and restrictions set forth in this Code, the
Compliance Officer, in keeping with the general principles and objectives of
this Code of Ethics, may refuse to grant preclearance of a personal transaction
in his/her sole discretion without being required to specify any reason for the
refusal.  Generally, the Compliance Officer will consider the following factors
in determining whether or not to clear a proposed transaction:

               (a)  Whether the amount or the nature of the transaction or
                    person making it is likely to affect the price or market of
                    the security.

               (b)  Whether the individual making the proposed purchase or sale
                    is likely to benefit from purchases or sales being made or
                    considered on behalf of any of its clients.

               (c)  Whether the transaction is non-volitional on the part of the
                    individual.

                                       6

3.   EXEMPT TRANSACTIONS.
     -------------------

          A.   The Prohibitions Described In This Code, Shall Not Apply To:
               -----------------------------------------------------------

               (i)   purchases of sales effected in any account over which the
                     Access Person has no direct or indirect influence or
                     control;

               (ii)  purchases or sales of securities which are not eligible for
                     purchases or sale by the Trust;

               (iii) purchases or sales that are non-volitional on the part of
                     the Access Person;

               (iv)  purchases that are part of an automatic dividend
                     reinvestment plan;

               (v)   purchases effected upon the exercise of rights issued by an
                     issuer pro rata to all holders of a class of its
                     securities, to the extent such rights were acquired from
                     the issuer, and sales of such rights so acquired;

               (vi)  any securities transaction, or series or related
                     transactions, involving 500 shares or less in the
                     aggregate, if the issuer has a market capitalization
                     (outstanding shares multiplied by the current price per
                     share) greater than $1 billion; or

               (vii) purchases or sales for which the Access Person has received
                     prior approval from the Designated Supervisory Person.
                     Prior approval shall be granted only if a purchase or sale
                     of securities is consistent with the purposes of this Code,
                     Rule 17j-1 and Section 17(j) of the Act. To illustrate, a
                     purchase or sale shall be considered consistent with those
                     purposes if such purchase or sale is only remotely
                     potentially harmful to the Trust because such purchase or
                     sale would be unlikely to affect a highly institutional
                     market, or because such purchase or sale is clearly not
                     related economically to the securities held, purchased or
                     sold by the Trust.

          B.   Exempt Securities
               -----------------

               (a)  The securities listed below are exempt from the restrictions
                    of Section 2.C., the preclearance requirement of Section
                    2.D., and the quarterly and annual reporting requirements of
                          ---
                    Section 4.  Therefore, it is not necessary to obtain
                    preclearance for personal transactions in any of the
                    following securities nor is it necessary to report such
                    securities in the

                                       7

covered by the report.  Any officer or trustee exempt from preclearance is
subject to the quarterly reporting requirements.

               (c)  Quarterly Transaction Reports (Attachment A)
                    --------------------------------------------

     Rule 17j-1 requires Access Persons to report personal securities
transactions to the Designated Supervisory Person at least quarterly ("quarterly
transaction reports") by filing a completed Transaction/New Account Report.
Quarterly transaction reports are required to be submitted no later than ten
calendar (10) days after the end of the calendar quarter.

               (d)  Access Person Certification Form (Attachment D)
                    -----------------------------------------------

     In accordance with the Access Person Certification Form (the
"Certification"), attached hereto as Attachment D, all Access Persons and all
employees of the Trust must certify that they have read thoroughly, understand
and agree to abide by the conditions set forth in the Trust's Code of Ethics.

5.   SANCTIONS.
     ---------

     If a determination is made that an Access Person has committed a violation
of this Code, the officer or trustee of the Trust shall bring the matter to the
attention of the counsel to the Trust, who shall then report the matter to the
Board of Trustees of the Fund, who may impose such sanctions as it deems
appropriate, or other actions may be taken, including but not limited to, a
letter of caution or warning, suspension of personal trading rights, suspension
of employment (with or without compensation), fine, civil referral to the SEC,
criminal referral, and termination of the employment of the violator for cause.
An Access Person may also be required to reverse the trade(s) in question and
forfeit any profit or absorb any loss derived therefrom.  The amount of profit
shall be calculated and shall be forwarded to a charitable organization.  The
Board of Trustees, in its sole discretion, is authorized to determine the choice
of sanctions to be imposed in specific cases, including termination of
employment of any employee.

     In addition to these penalties, violations by employees may lead to both
public embarrassment of the Trust and significant legal liability.

6.   ADMINISTRATION OF CODE OF ETHICS
     --------------------------------

     On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees of the Fund shall be provided
with a written report by the Fund that describes any new issues arising under
the Code of Ethics, including information on material violations of the Code of
Ethics or procedures and sanctions imposed, and annually, the Fund must certify
that it has adopted procedures reasonably necessary to prevent Access Persons
from violating the Code of Ethics.

     All information obtained from any Access Person hereunder shall be kept in
strict confidence, except that reports of securities transactions hereunder will
be made available to the SEC or any other regulatory or self-regulatory
organization to the extent required by law or regulation.

8.   OTHER LAWS, RULES AND STATEMENTS OF POLICY.
     ------------------------------------------

     Nothing contained in this Code shall be interpreted as relieving any Access
Person from acting in accordance with the provision of any applicable law, rule
or regulation or any other statement of policy or procedure governing the
conduct of such person adopted by the Trust.

9.   FURTHER INFORMATION.
     -------------------

     If any person has any question with regard to the applicability of the
provisions of this Code, generally or with regard to any securities transaction
or transactions, he should consult the Designated Supervisory Person, or in the
absence of the Designated Supervisory Person, the Compliance Officer of the
Trust.
