This Code of Conduct has been adopted by the Firm's Board of Directors for the
purpose of avoiding and preventing certain actions constituting conflicts of
interest with the investment activities of a Fund or Funds for which the Firm
acts as distributor. This Code of Conduct applies to all officers, directors,
employees or associated persons of the Firm. The terms and conditions of this
Code shall supersede those of the PFPC Worldwide, Inc. Code of Conduct (the
"PFPC Code") to the extent that any term or condition of this Code is

Fund regarding the purchase or sale of Covered Securities. An individual shall
be considered as Access Person only with respect to the Fund to which the
foregoing definition applies. A list of the current Access Persons is attached
to this Code as Appendix A.

         2. "Beneficial Ownership" shall be interpreted in the same manner as it

all Access Persons immediately in the event that the exception to the reporting
requirement is no longer applicable.

III.     RESTRICTIONS ON PERSONAL SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS BY EMPLOYEES

         A. Unlawful Actions

         It is unlawful for any Employee, Firm director or Firm officer, in
connection with the purchase or sale, directly or indirectly, by the person of a
Security Held or to be Acquired by the Fund:

         (a) to employ any device scheme or artifice to defraud the Fund;

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

         (c) to engage in any act, practice or course of business that operates
or would operate as a fraud or deceit on the Fund; or

         (d) to engage in any manipulative practice with respect to the Fund.

         B. Trading Restrictions During Certain Periods

<PAGE>   4

         No Employee, Firm director or Firm officer may, directly or indirectly,
purchase or sell a Covered Security for his or her Personal Account if such
individual knows or, in the ordinary course of fulfilling his or her duties as
an Employee, Firm director or Firm officer, should know that (i) a purchase or
sale of such Covered Security by a Fund is being considered by the Fund or its
investment adviser, or (ii) during the five (5) business day period immediately
preceding the date of the transaction in a Covered Security by the Employee,
Firm director or Firm officer, such Security was purchased or sold by a Fund.

         C. Trading Restrictions While in Possession of Non-Public Material
Information

         No Employee, Firm director or Firm officer may, directly or indirectly,
purchase or sell a Covered Security for his or her Personal Account while such
individual possesses non-public Material Information relating to that Covered
Security or its issuer. The most common examples of information that is
"non-public" are: (i) information that has neither been published by any news
agency nor filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of a
publicly available filing and (ii) information that has been discussed only
within the confines of a board meeting.

         D. Violations

         Any Employee, Firm officer or Firm director who has violated Sections
III(A), (B) or (C) of the Code or who knows of such a violation by another
Employee, Firm director or Firm officer shall immediately notify the Designated
Person, in writing, of such violation.

         E. General

         Apart from the specific restrictions set forth in Sections II and III
of the Code, purchases and sales should be arranged in such a way as to avoid
transactions contrary to the intent of this Code. Any attempt by an Employee,
Firm director or Firm officer to do indirectly what this Code is meant to
prohibit will be deemed a direct violation hereof. If there is any doubt whether
your transactions may be in conflict with the intent of this Code you should
check before buying or selling with the Designated Person.

         F. Registered Investment Adviser Employees

         Certain associated persons of the Firm may also be employees of a
registered investment adviser and, accordingly, subject to codes of conduct,
including restrictions on personal securities transactions, more stringent than
those set forth in this Code. The Firm will rely on the registered investment
advisers to enforce their codes of conduct.

         G. Sanctions

         If the Designated Person determines that a violation of the Code has
occurred, she shall so advise the Firm's Board of Directors for referral to the
Executive Management Committee of PFPC Worldwide, Inc., the parent of the Firm
(the "Committee"). The Committee may impose such sanctions as it deems
appropriate, including, inter alia, a letter of censure or suspension or
termination of the employment of the violator. In any event, (i) any Employee,
Firm director or Firm officer who violates Section III(A) or (B) of the Code
shall be subject to disciplinary action which may include termination of
registration with the Firm and (ii) any profit realized from a securities
transaction that violates Section III(A) or (B) of the Code shall be disgorged
as directed by the Committee.

IV.      ANNUAL CERTIFICATION

         On an annual basis, each Employee, Firm director and Firm officer shall
certify in writing that such individual has read and understands the Code and
has complied with all of its provisions during the preceding year in which the
Code was in effect. The annual certification is attached to the Code. (Upon
employment, each employee will receive the Code and sign an initial
"Certification of Receipt.")

about material violations of the Code and sanctions imposed in response to
material violations; and

                  (b) certifies that the Firm has adopted procedures reasonably
necessary to prevent Access Persons from violating the Code.

Firm headquarters by representatives of the Securities and Exchange Commission
at such time as said representatives may reasonably request.

         3. Except as may be required pursuant to Section III(E) and Section V
(A)(2) of the Code, all reports and any other information of a personal nature
shall be treated as confidential by the Designated Supervisory Person.

         C. Interpretation of Code

         The Designated Person in consultation with the Firm's Chief Legal
Officer shall determine how the provisions of the Code shall be interpreted, and
may from time to time establish administrative procedures to assist in carrying
out the intent of the Code.

                                   APPENDIX B

This Code of Conduct relates to the purchase or sale of securities of which a
person has a direct or indirect "beneficial ownership" except for purchases or
sales in accounts over which the person has no direct or indirect influence or
control as described below.

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP

"Beneficial ownership" means that one directly or indirectly, by written or
unwritten understanding, has a (or shares a direct or indirect) financial
interest regardless of who is the owner of record. Financial interest means the
opportunity, directly or indirectly, to participate in the risks and rewards of
a transaction. Securities owned by a person or by a trust of which one has a
beneficial ownership or a similar arrangement include, but are not limited to:

(1) Securities owned by your spouse, your minor children and relatives of you
and your spouse who live in your home, including trusts of which such persons
are beneficiaries (other than interests in a trust over which neither you nor
such person has any direct or indirect influence or control over investments);

(2) A proportionate interest in securities held by a partnership of which you
are a general partner;

(3) Securities in which you have a right to dividends that is separated or
separable from the underlying securities;

(4) Securities that you have a right to acquire through the exercise or
conversion of another security, whether or not presently exercisable; and

(5) Securities held in accounts from which you receive a performance related fee
based on less than one year's performance.

You do not have a financial interest in securities held by a corporation of
which you are not a controlling shareholder and do not have or share investment
control over its portfolio.

NO INFLUENCE OR CONTROL

The Code does not apply to purchases and sales of securities effected in any
account over which you do not have "any direct or indirect influence or
control". However, this "no direct or indirect influence or control" exception
is limited to few situations. The principal one is that described in paragraph
(1) above, where securities are held in a trust, in which you have a beneficial
interest, but where you are not the Trustee and have no control or influence
over the Trustee.
