                                 CODE OF ETHICS

                                       OF

                              WT INVESTMENT TRUST I
                                 WT MUTUAL FUND
                      RODNEY SQUARE MANAGEMENT CORPORATION

                            WILMINGTON TRUST COMPANY


PREAMBLE
     This Code of Ethics has been adopted by
     -    the Board of Trustees of WT Investment Trust I (the "Trust") on behalf
          of each series of the Trust listed on Schedule A hereto;

     -    the Board of Trustees of WT Mutual Fund (the "Fund") on behalf of each
          series of the Fund listed on Schedule B hereto;

     -    the Board of Directors of Rodney Square Management Corporation
          ("Rodney Square"), insofar as Rodney Square serves as investment
          adviser to certain series of the Trust and the Fund; and

     -    the Board of Directors of Wilmington Trust Company ("WTC"), insofar as
          WTC serves as investment adviser to certain series of the Trust and
          the Fund.

     The Code has been adopted in accordance with the requirements of Rule 17j-1
(the "Rule") under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Act"). The Rule
requires the Trust, the Fund, and Rodney Square and WTC (collectively, the
"Investment Advisers") to adopt written codes of ethics containing provisions
reasonably necessary to prevent persons from engaging in acts in violation of
the Act and the Rule, and to use reasonable diligence to prevent violations of
the code.


     Violations of sub-paragraph (b) of the Rule may constitute grounds for the
imposition of significant administrative and civil injunctive, as well as
criminal, sanctions by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or the
federal courts. In addition, the Trust or Fund may impose internal sanctions for
violations of this Code. All persons that are or that are about to become
covered by this Code are expected to be familiar with the proscriptions of this
Rule. To that end, a summary of Rule 17j-1(b) is included as Appendix A to this
Code.


     Set forth below is the Code of Ethics adopted by the Trust, the Fund, and
the Investment Advisers in compliance with the Rule. This Code of Ethics is
based upon the principle that the trustees and officers of the Trust, the
trustees and officers of the Fund, and certain affiliated persons of the Trust,
the Fund, and the Investment Advisers owe a fiduciary duty to, among others,




<PAGE>

the shareholders of the Trust and/or the Fund to conduct their affairs,
including their personal securities transactions, in such manner to avoid (i)
serving their own personal interests ahead of shareholders; (ii) taking
inappropriate advantage of their position with the Trust or the Fund; and (iii)
any actual or potential conflicts of interest or any abuse of their position of
trust and responsibility.

     (a)  DEFINITIONS

     (a)  "ACCESS PERSON" means:

          (i)  Any director, trustee, officer, or ADVISORY PERSON of the Trust,

               Person of WTC who, with respect to the Trust or the Fund, makes

               recommendation will be made, or whose principal function or
               duties relate to the determination of which recommendation will
               be made, or who, in connection with his or her duties, obtains
               any information concerning recommendations on Covered Securities
               being made by WTC to the Trust or the Fund.

     (b)  "ADVISORY PERSON" means

          (i)  any employee of the Trust, Fund, Rodney Square or WTC (or of any
               company in a control relationship to the Trust, Fund, Rodney
               Square or WTC) who, in connection with his regular functions or
               duties, makes, participates in, or obtains current information
               regarding the purchase or sale of a Covered Security by the Trust

          or the Fund.

                  to ensure that no trading has taken place in violation of the
                  Rule or this Code of Ethics. Any violations of this Code shall
                  be reported to the Board of Trustees of the Trust or Fund, as

                    Fund within fifteen (15) days before or after the date of
                    the reported transactions.


          (ii)           When the Compliance Officer finds that a transaction
               otherwise reportable to the Board of Trustees under Paragraph (a)
               of this Section could not reasonably be found to have resulted in
               a fraud, deceit or manipulative practice in violation of Rule
               17j-l(b), it may, in its discretion, lodge a written memorandum
               of such finding and the reasons therefor with the reports made

               transaction to the Board.


          (iii)          The Board of Trustees, or a Committee created by a
               Board for that purpose, shall consider reports made to the Board
               hereunder and shall determine whether or not this Code of Ethics
               has been violated and what sanctions, if any, should be imposed.


(f)                ANNUAL REPORTING

          (i)            The Compliance Officer and each Investment Adviser,

          termination of the employment of the violator.


          Notwithstanding receipt of approval pursuant to Section 4(a), any

          affected series of the Trust or the Fund. Furthermore, any profits
          realized on any other securities trades or activities in violation of
          this Code, shall be disgorged to the affected series of the Trust or

                            SUMMARY OF RULE 17j-1(b)


     It shall be unlawful for

     -    any affiliated person of, or principal underwriter for, a registered
          investment company, or

     -    any affiliated person of an investment adviser of, or principal
          underwriter for, a registered investment company

in connection with the purchase or sale, directly or indirectly, by such person
     of a security held or to be acquired [SEE NOTE BELOW] . . . by such
     registered investment company:

     (1)  to employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud such registered
          investment company;

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

     (3)  to engage in any act, practice, or course of business which operates
          or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon such registered investment
          company; or

     (4)  to engage in any manipulative practice with respect to such registered
          investment company.

NOTE:

For purposes of Rule 17j-1, a "security held or to be acquired" by a registered
investment company means:

          (i)  any Covered Security within the meaning of the Rule (see the
               definition of the term "Covered Security" in this Code) which,
               within the most recent fifteen (15) calendar days:

               -    is or has been held by the investment company; or

               -    is being or has been considered by such company, or its
                    investment adviser, for purchase by the company
