                                 CODE OF ETHICS
           INCLUDING A STATEMENT OF POLICIES AND PROCEDURES REGARDING
               CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

                              For Access Persons of
                                ICAP FUNDS, INC.
                                       and
                        INSTITUTIONAL CAPITAL CORPORATION

      Restated Effective as of September 30, 1998 and amended March 1, 2000

I.       DEFINITIONS

         A.       "Act" means the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

         B.       "Advisers Act" means the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as
                  amended.

         C.       "Fund" means ICAP Funds, Inc.

         D.       "ICAP" means Institutional Capital Corporation.

         E.       "Access person" means ICAP, any director, officer or advisory
                  person of ICAP or any director, officer or advisory person of
                  the Fund.

         F.       "Candidate List" includes those securities under active
                  consideration for purchase by ICAP for the Fund or any client.

         G.       "Advisory person" means: (i) any employee of the Fund or of
                  ICAP; and (ii) any natural person in a control relationship to
                  the Fund or ICAP who obtains information concerning
                  recommendations made to the Fund with regard to the purchase
                  or sale of a security on ICAP's Candidate List.

         H.       A security is "being considered for purchase or sale" when:
                  (i) a recommendation to purchase or sell a security has been
                  made and communicated; (ii) the security appears on ICAP's
                  Candidate List; or (iii) with respect to the person making the
                  recommendation, when such person seriously considers making
                  such a recommendation.

         I.       "Beneficial ownership" shall be interpreted in the same manner
                  as it would be in determining whether a person is subject to
                  the provisions of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of
                  1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated
                  thereunder, except that the determination of direct or
                  indirect beneficial ownership shall apply to all securities
                  which an access person has or acquires. As a general matter,
                  "beneficial ownership" will be attributed to an access person
                  in all instances where the person (i) possesses the ability to
                  purchase or sell the security (or the ability to direct the
                  disposition of the security); (ii) possesses the voting power
                  (including the power to vote or to direct the








<PAGE>


                  voting) over such security; or (iii) receives any benefits
                  substantially equivalent to those of ownership.

                  Although the following is not an exhaustive list, a person
                  generally would be regarded to be the beneficial owner of the
                  following:

                           (i)      securities held in the person's own name;

                           (ii)     securities held with another in joint
                                    tenancy, as tenants in common, or in other
                                    joint ownership arrangements;

                           (iii)    securities held by a bank or broker as a
                                    nominee or custodian on such persons' behalf
                                    or pledged as collateral for a loan;

                           (iv)     securities held by members of the person's
                                    immediate family sharing the same household
                                    if the person is a custodian, guardian or
                                    otherwise has controlling influence over the
                                    purchase, sale, or voting of such securities
                                    ("immediate family" means any child,
                                    stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent,
                                    grandparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law,
                                    father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law,
                                    brother-in-law or sister-in-law, including
                                    adoptive relationships);

                           (v)      securities held by a relative not residing
                                    in the person's home if the person is a
                                    custodian, guardian, or otherwise has
                                    controlling influence over the purchase,
                                    sale, or voting of such securities;

                           (vi)     securities held by a trust for which the
                                    person serves as a trustee and in which the
                                    person has a pecuniary interest (including
                                    pecuniary interests by virtue of performance
                                    fees and by virtue of holdings by the
                                    person's immediate family);

                           (vii)    securities held by a trust in which the
                                    person is a beneficiary and has or shares
                                    the power to make purchase or sale
                                    decisions;

                           (viii)   securities held by a general partnership or
                                    limited partnership in which the person is a
                                    general partner; and

                           (ix)     securities owned by a corporation which is
                                    directly or indirectly controlled by, or
                                    under common control with, such person.

                  Any uncertainty as to whether an access person beneficially
                  owns a security should be brought to the attention of ICAP's
                  Compliance Officer or the Assistant Compliance Officer. Such
                  questions will be resolved in accordance with, and this
                  definition is subject to, the definition of "beneficial owner"
                  found in Rules 16a-1(a)(2) and (5) promulgated under the
                  Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

         J.       "Control" shall be interpreted as it would be in Section
                  2(a)(9) of the Act. As a general matter, "control" means the
                  power to exercise a controlling influence. The "power to
                  exercise a controlling influence" is intended to include
                  situations where there is less than absolute and complete
                  domination and includes not only the active exercise of power,
                  but also the latent existence of power. Anyone who
                  beneficially owns, either directly or through one or more
                  controlled entities, more than 25% of the voting securities of
                  an entity shall be presumed to control such entity.

         K.       "Disinterested director" means (i) a director of the Fund who
                  is not an "interested person" of the Fund within the meaning
                  of Section 2(a)(19) of the Act and (ii) a director of ICAP who
                  is not an employee of ICAP.

         L.       "Limited offering" means an offering of securities to a
                  limited number of purchasers. Such offerings are ordinarily
                  made pursuant to a private offering memorandum or similar
                  document, although they need not be, and are exempt from the
                  registration requirements of the federal securities laws.

         M.       "Purchase or sale of a security" includes, among other things,
                  the writing of an option to purchase or sell a security.

         N.       "Security" shall have the meaning set forth in Section
                  2(a)(36) of the Act and shall include: common stocks,
                  preferred stocks, debt securities; options on and warrants to
                  purchase common stocks, preferred stocks or debt securities;
                  shares of closed-end investment companies, futures,
                  commodities and Related Securities. "Related Securities" are
                  instruments and securities that are related to, but not the
                  same as, a security. For example, a Related Security may be
                  convertible into a security, or give its holder the right to
                  purchase the security. The term "Security" also includes
                  private investments, including oil and gas ventures, real
                  estate syndicates and other investments which are not publicly
                  traded. It shall not include shares of registered open-end
                  investment companies, direct obligations of the Government of
                  the United States, high quality short-term debt instruments,
                  bankers' acceptances, bank certificates of deposit, commercial
                  paper, and such other money market instruments as designated
                  by the Fund's Board of Directors.


II.      FIDUCIARY PRINCIPLES

         Incorporated within this Code of Ethics is a Statement of Policies and
         Procedures Regarding Confidential Information and Conflicts of Interest
         (the "Statement"). Failure to observe the policies and procedures
         outlined in the Statement and/or the Code could result in the
         imposition of sanctions (including dismissal) and could constitute a
         criminal act in violation of, among other, federal and/or state
         securities laws.


                                       3

         A.       The Statement

                  ICAP seeks to foster a reputation for integrity and
                  professionalism. That reputation is a vital business asset.
                  The confidence and trust placed in ICAP by our clients is
                  something we value and must endeavor to protect. Any breach of
                  that confidence or trust could have a disastrous, long-term
                  effect on ICAP's client relationships.

                  In the course of their employment with ICAP, employees will
                  have access to confidential information concerning ICAP, its
                  clients and various other matters. The proper treatment of
                  such information is a key aspect of preserving ICAP's
                  integrity. Accordingly, employees shall not disclose, directly
                  or indirectly, confidential information to anyone other than
                  employees and agents of ICAP who need such information to
                  discharge their duties.

                  As far as investments and investment opportunities are
                  concerned, employees should remember that their first
                  obligation is to the client. To meet this obligation, ICAP
                  must ensure that all advice rendered by employees is free from
                  any conflict of interest. Therefore, no employee shall engage
                  in any activity which may in any way jeopardize his or her
                  ability to render impartial and disinterested investment
                  counseling. This includes scrupulously avoiding any
                  affiliation which may influence or even appear to influence
                  the employee's ability to treat each client in an unbiased
                  manner.

                  ICAP's business depends, in part, on investor confidence in
                  the fairness and integrity of the securities markets. The
                  problem of insider trading poses a serious threat to that
                  confidence. While there is no precise statutory definition of
                  insider trading, the term is generally understood to mean
                  participating in a decision to buy, sell or tender securities
                  while in possession of material nonpublic information.
                  Material nonpublic information is any information (i) that is
                  not generally available and (ii) which would be important to
                  an investor in making a decision to buy, sell, or tender a
                  security.

                  The prohibition against trading on material nonpublic
                  information extends to any situation where an employee
                  participates in a decision to buy, sell or tender securities
                  based on material nonpublic information that they acquire from
                  an issuer or its representatives prior to the information
                  being made available to the public. An employee participates
                  in a decision to buy, sell or tender securities if he or she
                  influences or controls the decision. Thus, this policy would
                  apply to transactions in which an employee exercises
                  investment discretion or influence even though he or she does
                  not own the securities (such as accounts for which the
                  employee serves as an advisor or fiduciary). Specifically, the
                  policy against insider trading would prohibit ICAP employees
                  from "tipping" clients, friends, family or third parties based
                  on their knowledge of material nonpublic information. As used
                  herein, "Trading" includes any securities transactions in
                  which an employee participated, exerted influence, "tipped" or
                  was tipped by


                                       4








<PAGE>


                  others. Employees are absolutely prohibited from engaging in
                  any activities that would fall within the above description of
                  insider trading.

                  In the event an employee receives material nonpublic
                  information regarding an issuer, the employee must immediately
                  notify the Compliance Officer or the Assistant Compliance
                  Officer who will place the issuer's securities on a Restricted
                  List. Employees are prohibited from trading in the securities
                  of issuers placed on the Restricted List.

         B.       General Fiduciary Principles

                  In addition to the specific principles enunciated in this Code
                  and the Statement, all access persons shall be governed by the
                  following general fiduciary principles:

                  (i)      The duty at all times to place the interests of Fund
                           shareholders and clients of ICAP above all others.
                           Access persons must scrupulously avoid serving their
                           own personal interests ahead of the interests of
                           ICAP's clients.

                  (ii)     The requirement that all personal securities
                           transactions be conducted consistent with the Code
                           and in such a manner as to avoid any actual or
                           potential conflict of interest or any abuse of an
                           individual's position of trust and responsibility;
                           and

                  (iii)    The fundamental standard that no access person should
                           take inappropriate advantage of their position with
                           the Fund or ICAP.

                  (iv)     Information as to what securities ICAP has
                           recommended or will recommend is to be held in
                           strictest confidence.

III.     POLICY ON SECURITY OWNERSHIP

         In addition to the prohibitions contained in Section IV below, it is
         the general policy of the Fund and ICAP that no access person shall
         have any direct or indirect beneficial ownership of any security which
         is also owned by the Fund or ICAP's clients. Upon the discovery by ICAP
         or any access person that an access person has a direct or indirect
         beneficial ownership of a security which is also owned by the Fund or
         ICAP's clients, such access person shall promptly report such fact to
         ICAP's Compliance Officer or Assistant Compliance Officer, and may be
         required to divest himself or herself of such ownership if the
         Compliance Officer or Assistant Compliance Officer determines that any
         significant conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest
         exists as a result of such ownership. This policy shall not apply to
         disinterested directors.

IV.      PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES - DISINTERESTED DIRECTORS

         No disinterested director shall purchase or sell a security if such
         disinterested director knew or, in the ordinary course fulfilling his
         or her official duties as a director, should have known that, during
         the 15-day period immediately before or after the date of the
         transaction by the disinterested director, such security was: (i)
         purchased or sold by the Fund or ICAP on behalf of its clients; (ii)
         being considered by the Fund or ICAP on behalf of its clients for
         purchase or sale; or (iii) on ICAP's Candidate List.

V.       PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES - ALL OTHERS

         A.       No access person shall purchase or sell, directly or
                  indirectly, any security in which he or she has, or by reason
                  of such transaction acquires, any direct or indirect
                  beneficial ownership if such security is owned by the Fund,
                  any client of ICAP, is on ICAP's Candidate List, or is
                  otherwise being considered for purchase by ICAP on behalf of
                  its clients. ICAP employees are responsible for ascertaining
                  the securities listed from time to time on the Candidate List
                  which, if the employee does not have a copy, is always
                  available in the trading room.

         B.       An access person may sell a previously held position in a
                  security which is being considered for purchase or is on the
                  Candidate List until ICAP purchases such security for a client
                  or the Fund. At the time ICAP purchases such securities and so
                  long as ICAP holds such securities for a client or the Fund,
                  the access person must refrain from selling such securities
                  until all positions in such issuer's securities are
                  liquidated, except with the prior written approval of the
                  Compliance Officer or the Assistant Compliance Officer.

         C.       No access person shall acquire any securities in an initial
                  public offering.

         D.       No access person shall engage in (i) any short sale
                  transaction, or (ii) any transaction in an option, future or
                  an option on a future in which ICAP actively deals except with
                  the prior written approval of the Compliance Officer or the
                  Assistant Compliance Officer.

         E.       No access person shall acquire securities in a Limited
                  offering, without prior approval from ICAP's Compliance
                  Officer or Assistant Compliance Officer. In determining
                  whether approval should be granted, the Compliance Officer or
                  Assistant Compliance Officer should consider:

                  (i)      whether the investment opportunity should be reserved
                           for the Fund or clients of ICAP; and

                  (ii)     whether the opportunity is being offered to an
                           individual by virtue of his or her position with the
                           Fund, ICAP or ICAP's advisory relationship with any
                           client.

<PAGE>


                  ICAP's Compliance Officer must maintain a record of any
                  decision, and the reasons supporting the decision, to approve
                  the acquisition by an access person for at least five years
                  after the end of the fiscal year in which the approval is
                  granted. In the event approval is granted, the access person
                  must disclose the investment when he or she plays a material
                  role in a client's or the Fund's, subsequent consideration of
                  an investment in the issuer. In such circumstances, the
                  decision to purchase securities of the issuer will be subject
                  to an independent review by investment personnel with no
                  personal interest in the issuer.

         F.       No access person shall receive 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 Fund or any client of ICAP.
                  On occasion, an access person may be offered, or may receive
                  without notice, gifts from clients, brokers, vendors, or other
                  persons not affiliated with such entities, including companies
                  that ICAP on behalf of its clients may be invested in or may
                  be considering making an investment in. Acceptance of
                  extraordinary or extravagant gifts is not permissible.

         G.       No access person shall serve on the board of directors of a
                  publicly traded company without prior authorization from
                  ICAP's Board of Directors and the Fund's Board of Directors
                  based upon a determination that the board service would be
                  consistent with the interests of the Fund and clients of ICAP.
                  In the event the board service is authorized, access persons
                  serving as directors must be isolated from those making
                  investment decisions through a "Chinese wall."

VI.      EXEMPTED TRANSACTIONS

         The prohibitions of Sections IV and V shall not apply to:

         A.       Purchases or sales effected in any account over which an
                  access person has no direct or indirect influence or control
                  (e.g., a blind trust);

         B.       Purchases or sales of securities which are not eligible for
                  purchase or sale by ICAP's client accounts or the Fund;

         C.       Purchases or sales which are non-volitional on the part of
                  either the access person, the Fund or ICAP's client accounts;

         D.       Purchases which are part of an automatic dividend reinvestment
                  plan;

         E.       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 such issuer, and
                  sales of such rights so acquired; and


                                       7








<PAGE>


         F.       Purchases or sales which receive the prior approval of ICAP's
                  Compliance Officer or Assistant Compliance Officer because (i)
                  they are only remotely potentially harmful to the Fund and
                  ICAP's clients; (ii) they would be very unlikely to affect a
                  highly institutional market; or (iii) they clearly are not
                  related economically to securities to be purchased, sold or
                  held by the Fund or ICAP's clients.

VII.     REPORTING - DISINTERESTED DIRECTORS

         A disinterested director shall report quarterly to Sunstone Financial
         Group, Inc. ("Sunstone") or ICAP's Compliance Officer even if such
         director has no securities transactions to report for the reporting
         period.

         Such report shall be in the form described in Section VIII(E) and may
         contain the statement that the report shall not be construed as an
         admission that the director has any direct or indirect beneficial
         ownership in the security to which the report relates.

         A disinterested director need only report a transaction in a security
         if such director, knew or, in the ordinary course of fulfilling his or
         her official duties as a disinterested director, should have known
         that, during the 15-day period immediately before or after the date of
         the transaction by the disinterested director, such security was: (i)
         purchased or sold by the Fund or ICAP on behalf of its clients; (ii)
         being considered by the Fund or ICAP on behalf of its clients for
         purchase or sale; or (iii) on ICAP's Candidate List.

VIII.    REPORTING - ALL OTHERS

         A.       All securities transactions in which an access person has a
                  direct or indirect beneficial ownership interest will be
                  monitored by Sunstone and ICAP's Compliance Officer. To
                  facilitate Sunstone's monitoring, ICAP's Compliance Officer
                  shall inform Sunstone on a timely basis of any changes in
                  ICAP's Candidate List.

         B.       ICAP's Compliance Officer shall report his or her personal
                  securities transactions in accordance with this Section VIII
                  and shall also report such transactions directly to the
                  Assistant Compliance Officer who shall additionally monitor
                  such transactions.

         C.       Every access person shall report to Sunstone and ICAP's
                  Compliance Officer the information described in Section
                  VIII(E) with respect to the transactions in any security in
                  which such access person has, or by reason of such transaction
                  acquires, any direct or indirect beneficial ownership.

         D.       Every access person shall report quarterly to Sunstone and
                  ICAP's Compliance Officer even if such access person has no
                  securities transactions to report for the reporting period.

<PAGE>


         E.       Every report required to be made by Sections VII and VIII
                  shall be made not later than ten (10) days after the end of
                  the calendar quarter in which the transaction to which the
                  report relates and shall contain the following information:

                  (i)      The date of the transaction, the title, the interest
                           rate and maturity date (if applicable), the number of
                           shares, and the principal amount of each security
                           involved;

                  (ii)     The nature of the transaction (i.e., purchase, sale
                           or any other type of acquisition or disposition);

                  (iii)    The price of the security at which the transaction
                           was effected; and

                  (iv)     The name of the broker, dealer or bank with or
                           through whom the transaction was effected.

                  The determination date for timely compliance is the date the
                  report is received by Sunstone and ICAP's Compliance Officer,
                  which date must be recorded on the report.

         F.       Any report filed pursuant to Section VIII(E) of this Code of
                  Ethics may contain a statement that the report shall not be
                  construed as an admission by the person making such report
                  that he or she has any direct or indirect beneficial ownership
                  in the security to which the report relates.

         G.       In addition to the above reporting requirements, every access
                  person shall direct his or her brokers to supply to Sunstone
                  and ICAP's Compliance Officer, on a timely basis, duplicate
                  copies of all personal securities transactions and copies of
                  periodic statements for all securities accounts in which such
                  access person has a beneficial ownership interest. Attached
                  hereto as Appendix 1 is a form letter that may be used to
                  request such documents from the respective broker, dealer, or
                  bank. It is the responsibility of the access person to make
                  sure that his or her broker does in fact send ICAP and
                  Sunstone the duplicate confirmations and the duplicate
                  statements. These forms, confirmations and statements will be
                  maintained in strictest confidence in the respective files of
                  ICAP and Sunstone.

         H.       In addition to the above reporting requirements, every access
                  person shall disclose to ICAP's Compliance Officer and
                  Sunstone all personal securities holdings within ten (10) days
                  of such person's commencement of employment, such disclosures
                  shall be made on the form attached hereto at Appendix 2.
                  Shortly after becoming an access person, such person must meet
                  with the Compliance Officer to review the obligations imposed
                  by the Statement and this Code of Ethics. Each such access
                  person shall then sign an acknowledgment, attached hereto as
                  Appendix 3, to affirm that they have reviewed the Statement
                  and this Code of Ethics.

         I.       In addition to the above reporting requirements, every access
                  person shall disclose to ICAP's Compliance Officer and

                  and Sunstone no later than July 31st of each year.

IX.      COMPLIANCE WITH THE CODE OF ETHICS

         A.       All access persons shall certify annually in the form attached
                  hereto as Appendix 5 that:

                  (i)      They have read and understand the Code of Ethics and
                           recognize that they are subject thereto; and

                  (ii)     They have complied with the requirements of the Code
                           of Ethics and disclosed or reported all personal
                           securities transactions required to be disclosed or
                           reported pursuant to the Code.

         B.       Sunstone, in conjunction with ICAP's Compliance Officer and
                  the Fund's legal counsel, shall include a report in the Fund's
                  Board of Directors quarterly materials and ICAP shall include
                  a report in its Board of Directors quarterly materials which
                  shall:

                  (i)      Identify any violations during the previous quarter
                           or state that no violations occurred during the
                           previous quarter; and

                  (ii)     Identify any recommended changes in existing
                           restrictions or procedures based upon the Fund's
                           experience under its Code of Ethics, evolving
                           industry practices, or developments in laws or
                           regulations.

         C.       The quarterly reports shall be summarized in an annual report
                  to the Fund's Board of Directors and shall include a
                  certification from the Fund and ICAP stating that the
                  respective entity has adopted procedures reasonably necessary
                  to prevent its access persons from violating this Statement
                  and Code of Ethics.

X.       SANCTIONS

         Upon discovering a violation or potential violation of this Statement
         or Code of Ethics, the Compliance Officer or Assistant Compliance
         Officer will conduct an inquiry into the circumstances and, if
         appropriate, will report such violation or potential violation to the
         Board of Directors of ICAP and the Fund. Technical compliance with the
         Code's procedures will not automatically insulate from scrutiny any
         trades that indicate an abuse


                                       10

         of fiduciary duties. Each Board of Directors may impose such sanctions
         as it deems appropriate, including, among other sanctions, a letter of
         censure or suspension, or termination of the employment of the
         violator. Each Board of Directors will be promptly informed of any
         serious violations of this Code of Ethics or the Statement.
