                                       OF
                                MAGI FUNDS, INC.

I.   INTRODUCTION

     This Code of Ethics has been adopted by MAGI Funds,  Inc. (the  "Company"),
     MAGI  Management  &  Research,  LLC,  the  Fund  Manager  to the  MAGI  Tax
     Advantaged Fund (the "Fund"), a series of the Company, and DDJ Management &
     Research,  LLC, the  sub-investment  adviser to the Fund (each an "Adviser"
     and together the  "Advisers"),  in compliance  with Rule 17j-1 (the "Rule")
     under  the  Investment  Company  Act of 1940,  as  amended  (the  "Act") to
     establish  standards and  procedures  for the  detection and  prevention of
     activities  by  which  persons  having  knowledge  of the  investments  and
     investment  intentions of the Company may abuse their  fiduciary  duties to
     the  Company,  and  to  deal  with  other  types  of   conflict-of-interest
     situations to which the Rule is addressed.

     The Rule makes it "unlawful" for certain persons who have affiliations with
     the  Company  to  engage  in  conduct  which is  deceitful,  fraudulent  or
     manipulative,   or  which  involves  false  or  misleading  statements,  in
     connection  with the purchase or sale of  securities  by the Company.  This
     Code of Ethics is intended to establish policies and procedures designed to
     insure that persons  subject to this Code of Ethics and the Rule do not use
     any information  concerning the investments or investment intentions of the
     Company,  or  his or her  ability  to  influence  such  investment  related
     information,  for personal gain or in a manner detrimental to the interests
     of the Company.

II.  Principles

     affiliated with the Company:

     (A)  owe a fiduciary obligation to the Company;

     (B)  have  the  duty  at all  times  to  place  the  interests  of  Company
          shareholders first;

     (C)  must conduct all of their personal  securities  transactions in such a
          manner as to avoid any actual or  potential  conflict  of  interest or
          abuse of such person's position of trust and responsibility; and

     (D)  SHOULD NOT TAKE INAPPROPRIATE ADVANTAGE OF THEIR POSITIONS IN RELATION
          TO THE COMPANY.

               or  businesses  other  than  advising  Funds  or  other  advisory

               the determination of which  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

               since its  organization,  whichever is less, the Adviser derived,
               on an  unconsolidated  basis,  more  than 50% of its  income  (or

          who, in the ordinary  course of business,  makes,  participates  in or
          obtains  information  regarding,  the  purchase  or  sale  of  Covered
          Securities by the Company 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  Company,  regarding  the
          purchase or sale of Covered Securities.

     "Advisory Person" means:

     (1)  Any  employee  of the  Company or an Adviser to the Company (or of any

          adviser to the  Company)  who, in  connection  with his or her regular
          functions or duties,  makes,  participates in, or obtains  information
          regarding  the purchase or sale of Covered  Securities by the Company,
          or whose functions  relate to the making of any  recommendations  with
          respect to such purchases or sales; and

     (2)  Any  natural  person in a control  relationship  to the  Company or an
          Adviser   to  the   Company   who   obtains   information   concerning

          common control with the Company, Adviser and/or Underwriter.

     "Beneficial Interest" means:

     any  interest  by  which  an  Access  Person  or any  member  of his or her
     immediate  family  (relative  by  blood  or  marriage  living  in the  same
     household),  can directly or indirectly  derive a monetary benefit from the
     purchase,  sale (or other  acquisition  or  disposition)  or ownership of a
     security,  except such interests as Clearing Officers shall determine to be
     too remote for the purpose of this Code of Ethics.  (A transaction in which
     an Access Person  acquires or disposes of a security in which he or she has
     or  thereby  acquires  a direct or  indirect  Beneficial  Interest  will be
     referred to in this Code of Ethics as a "personal  securities"  transaction
     or as a transaction for the person's "own account").

     At the  written  request of a person  subject  to this Code of Ethics,  the
     Clearing Officers,  in their sole discretion or with the advice of counsel,
     may from time to time issue written interpretations

<PAGE>

     as to whether an Access Person has a "Beneficial Interest" in a security or
     a transaction,  and whether a transaction is or would be considered to be a
     "personal  securities"  transaction or a transaction "for the person's own"
     account for purposes of the  reporting  requirements  under this Code.  Any
     such  written  interpretations  shall be included in Appendix A attached to
     and  incorporated by reference into this Code of Ethics,  and may be relied
     upon solely by the person(s) seeking such interpretations.

     "Clearing Officers" means any two officers of the Company who are not:

     (1)  parties to the transaction;

     (2)  related by blood or marriage to a party to the transaction; and

     (3)  interested in or affiliated persons of the issuer of the securities at
          issue.

     "Control" means:

     the power to  exercise  a  controlling  influence  over the  management  or
     policies  of a  company  (unless  such  power is  solely  the  result of an
     official  position with such  company).  Any person who owns  beneficially,
     directly or through one or more controlled companies,  more than 25% of the
     voting securities of a company shall be presumed to control such company.

     "Covered Security" means:

     all  stock,   debt  obligations  and  other   instruments   comprising  the
     investments  of the Company,  including any warrant or option to acquire or

     include:

     (1)  Direct obligations of the Government of the United States;

     (2)  Banker's acceptances,  bank certificates of deposit,  commercial paper

          agreements, and

     (3)  Shares issued by open-end Funds.

        References  to a  "Security"  in this Code of Ethics  shall  include any
        warrant for, option in, or security  immediately  convertible  into that
        "Security."

     "Fund" means an investment company  registered  under the Act, and includes
     the Company.

     A "security held or to be acquired" by the Company means:

     any Covered Security which, within the most recent 15 calendar days: (i) is
     or has been held by the Company; or (ii) is being or has been considered by
     an Adviser for purchase by the Company.

     A security is "being considered for purchase or sale";

     from the time an order is given by or on behalf of the Company to the order
     room of the Adviser  until all orders  with  respect to that  security  are
     completed or withdrawn.

III. General Prohibitions

     The specific  provisions  and reporting  requirements  of the Rule and this
     Code of Ethics are concerned primarily with those investment  activities of
     ACCESS PERSONS who are associated with the Company and who thus may benefit
     from or interfere with the purchase or sale of portfolio  securities by the
     Company.  However, the Rule and this Code of Ethics shall also apply to all
     Affiliated  Persons  of the  Company,  the  Advisers,  and the  Underwriter
     ("Covered Persons"), unless specifically stated otherwise.

     The Rule makes it "unlawful" for Covered Persons to engage in conduct which
     is deceitful,  fraudulent,  or  manipulative,  or which  involves  false or
     misleading  statements,   in  connection  with  the  purchase  or  sale  of
     securities  by the  Company.  Accordingly,  under the Rule and this Code of
     Ethics,  no  Covered  Person  shall  use  any  information  concerning  the
     investments or investment  intentions of the Company, or his or her ability
     to influence such investment  intentions,  for personal gain or in a manner
     detrimental to the interests of the Company.

     In addition,  no Covered Person shall, directly or indirectly in connection
     with the  purchase or sale of a "security  held or to be  acquired"  by the
     Company:

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

     (ii)  make to the  Company or an Adviser any untrue  statement  of material
           fact  or  omit to  state  to any of the  foregoing  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 Company; or

     (iv)  engage in any manipulative practice with respect to the Company.

V.   PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS

                                BLACKOUT PERIODS

     Subject  to any  additional  limiting  requirements  that may be set  forth
     below, an ADVISORY PERSON may not effect a personal securities  transaction
     in a "security held or to be acquired" by the Company unless such person:

     (1)  executes  such  transaction  at a price equal to or less  advantageous
          than the price obtained for such security by the Company; and

     (2)  reports to the Company the  information  described  in Paragraph VI of
          this Code of Ethics.

<PAGE>

          (i)  Any  profits  realized  on personal  securities  transactions  in
               violation of this Section V shall be disgorged.

     B.   INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERINGS

          An ADVISORY  PERSON may not acquire any security in an initial  public
          offering,  unless such  ADVISORY  PERSON (1) obtains  advance  written
          clearance of such transaction by two Clearing Officers and (2) reports
          to the Company the information  described in Paragraph VI of this Code
          of Ethics.

     C.   PRIVATE PLACEMENTS

          (1)  An  ADVISORY  PERSON may not  acquire  any  security in a private
               placement,  unless  such  ADVISORY  PERSON  (1)  obtains  advance
               written  clearance of such  transaction by two Clearing  Officers
               and (2)  reports to the  Company  the  information  described  in
               Paragraph VI of this Code of Ethics.

               When considering whether to grant approval to the ADVISORY PERSON
               to engage in these  transactions,  the  Clearing  Officers  shall
               consider, among other factors, whether the investment opportunity
               should be reserved for the Company,  and whether the  opportunity
               is being  offered to the ADVISORY  PERSON by virtue of his or her
               position with the Company. If the Clearing Officers find that the
               investment  opportunity should be reserved to the Company or that
               the opportunity is being offered to the ADVISORY PERSON by virtue
               of his or her position  with the Company,  the Clearing  Officers
               shall refuse permission for the ADVISORY PERSON to enter into the
               transaction.

          (2)  An ADVISORY PERSON who has been authorized to acquire  securities
               in a private  placement or an initial  public  offering  shall be
               required  to  disclose  that  investment  to the  Company and the
               appropriate  Adviser whenever such ADVISORY PERSON  participates,
               either directly or indirectly,  in subsequent consideration of an
               investment in the issuer by any portfolio in the Company complex.

          (3)  In the event that an ADVISORY  PERSON has been given  approval to
               acquire  securities in a private  placement or an initial  public
               offering,  any decision of the Company to purchase  securities of
               the issuer of such private  placement or initial public  offering
               shall be subject  to prior  review by the  Company's  independent
               Directors who have no personal interest in the issuer.

     D.   BAN ON SHORT - TERM TRADING PROFITS

          An ADVISORY  PERSON may not profit from the purchase and sale, or sale
          and  purchase,  of the  same  (or  equivalent)  securities  within  60
          calendar  days,  unless  such  transactions   fully  comply  with  the
          restrictions  of  Section  V(A) of this Code of  Ethics.  Any  profits
          realized on non-complying short-term trades shall be disgorged.

<PAGE>

     F.   GIFTS

          ADVISORY  PERSONS  may not accept any gift or other thing of more than
          de minimis  value from any person or entity that does business with or
          on behalf of the Company.

     G.   SERVICE AS A DIRECTOR TO OTHER PUBLIC COMPANIES

          ADVISORY  PERSONS  may not  serve  on the  board of  directors  of any
          publicly traded company,  without prior authorization of a majority of
          the  Company's  Board  of  Directors,  which  authorization  shall  be
          specifically  based upon a determination  that the board service would
          be consistent with the interests of the Company and its  shareholders.
          If and when such board  service is  authorized,  the  ADVISORY  PERSON
          serving as a director will be isolated from other ADVISORY PERSONS who
          make  investment  decisions  involving that company  through  "Chinese
          Wall" or other procedures.

VI.  ADVANCE CLEARANCE REQUIREMENT

     A.   PROCEDURES

          (1)  From Whom Obtained

Persons  who  desire  to  enter  into  personal   securities   transactions   in
transactions  requiring prior approval under paragraph V above,  must obtain the
written  approval  of any two  Clearing  Officers  prior to  entering  into such
transactions.

          (2)  Time of Clearance

Transaction  clearances  must be obtained  not more than three (3) days prior to
the  transaction.  If the trade is not made within three (3) days of the date of
clearance, a new clearance must be obtained.

          (3)  Form

Persons  seeking  authorization  to  enter  into  transactions  requiring  prior
clearance  shall  complete  and sign a form  approved  for that  purpose  by the
Company, which form shall set forth the details of the proposed transaction.  An
example of such form is annexed hereto as Schedule A ("Clearance  Forms").  Upon
obtaining  authorization  to enter into the subject  transaction,  the  Clearing
Officers  authorizing  the  transaction  shall  affix  their  signatures  to the
Clearance Form to indicate such approval.

          (4)  Filing

Copies of all completed Clearance Forms, with all required signatures,  shall be
retained  by the  Administrator  of this Code of Ethics in  accordance  with the
record keeping requirements set forth in Section XII of this Code of Ethics.

     B.   FACTORS CONSIDERED IN CLEARANCE OF PERSONAL TRANSACTIONS

          Clearing  Officers  may  refuse  to  grant  clearance  of  a  personal
          transaction in their sole discretion without being required to specify
          any reason for the refusal. Generally, Clearing Officers will consider
          the  following  factors in  determining  whether or not to authorize a
          proposed transaction:

<PAGE>

          (1)  Whether  the  amount  or  nature  of the  transaction,  or person
               entering into the  transaction,  is likely to affect the price or
               market for the Security;

          (2)  Whether the  individual  making the proposed  purchase or sale is
               likely to benefit from  purchases or sales in the same or similar
               security being made or being considered by the Company; and

          (3)  Whether the security proposed to be purchased or sold is one that
               would qualify for purchase or sale by the Company.

VII. EXEMPT TRANSACTIONS

     Neither the  prohibitions  nor the reporting  requirements  of this Code of
     Ethics apply to:

     (A)  Purchases,  sales or other  acquisitions or dispositions of Securities
          for an  account  over  which the  person  has no direct  influence  or
          control and does not exercise indirect influence or control;

     (B)  Purchases,  sales or other  acquisitions or dispositions of securities
          which are not eligible  for  purchase or sale by any  portfolio of the
          Company;

          exercise  of  rights  acquired  from an  issuer  as part of a pro rata

          and the sale of such rights;

               by reason of being a Director of the Company, need not make:

               (a)  An Initial Holdings Report or an Annual Holdings Report; and

               (b)  A Quarterly Transaction Report, unless the Director knew, or
                    in the  ordinary  course of  fulfilling  his or her official
                    duties as a Director  should  have  known,  that  during the
                    fifteen  (15) day  period  immediately  before  or after the
                    Director's  transaction in a Covered  Security,  the Company
                    purchased or sold the Covered Security, or the Company or an
                    Adviser   considered   purchasing  or  selling  the  Covered
                    Security.

          (3)  An ACCESS  PERSON of the  Company's  Underwriter  need not make a
               report to the  Underwriter,  if such person makes a report to the

          (4)  An  ACCESS  PERSON  of an  Adviser  need not make a report to the
               Adviser,  if such person makes a report to the Company and all of
               the   information   contained  in  such  report  would  duplicate
               information required to be recorded under ss.ss. 275.204-2(a)(12)
               or  275.204(a)(13)  of the  Investment  Advisers Act of 1940,  as
               amended.

          (5)  An ACCESS PERSON need not make a Quarterly  Transaction Report if
               the Report would duplicate  information contained in broker trade

               respect  to  the  ACCESS  PERSON  for  the  applicable  quarterly
               reporting period, but only if such broker trade  confirmations or
               account statements contain ALL of the information  required to be
               reported in the Quarterly Transaction Reports.

     C.   RESPONSIBILITY TO REPORT

          The  responsibility  for taking the initiative to report is imposed on
          each individual  required to make a report.  Any effort by the Company

          responsibility.

          Ethics.
