                                 CODE OF ETHICS


This Code of Ethics (the "Code") has been issued by Madison Square Advisors LLC
("MSA" or the "Company") in order to set forth applicable guidelines and
procedures that promote ethical practices and conduct by all of its
employees.(1) All recipients of the Code are to read it carefully, retain it for
future reference and abide by its requirements. Also, please refer to the MSA
policy entitled, "Personal Investment Policy," which has been incorporated into
the Code and is an integral part of its requirements. The Personal Investment
Policy will provide each employee with specific guidance concerning personal
security investments and the responsibilities associated with that activity.

MSA requires that all employees observe the applicable standards' of duty and
care. An employee may not evade the provisions of the Code by having another
person, including a friend, relative or other, act or fail to act in a manner in
which the employee is prohibited.

I.       GENERAL POLICY

         It shall be a violation of this Code and its procedures, for any
employee of the firm, in connection with the purchase or sale, directly or
indirectly, of any security held or to be acquired by any client including a
registered investment company or other entity (collectively a "Client"):

         1.  to employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud any Client for
             which the firm serves as an investment adviser or sub-adviser;

         2.  to make to the Client any untrue statement of a material fact
             necessary or to omit to state to the Client 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 that operates
             or would operate as a fraud or deceit upon the Client; or


         4.  to engage in any manipulative practice with respect to the Client.


----------------
(1) "Employee" shall mean all Madison Square employees and Directors.

II.      GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES

         Guidelines

         As a fundamental requirement, MSA demands the highest standards of
         ethical conduct on the part of all its employees. All employees must
         abide by this basic standard and never take inappropriate advantage of
         their position with the Company.

         Each employee is under a duty to exercise his or her authority and
         responsibility for the primary benefit of MSA and may not have outside
         interests conflicting with the interests of the Company. Each person
         must avoid any circumstance which might adversely affect or appear to
         affect MSA, its clients or his or her duty of complete loyalty to MSA
         in the discharge of his or her responsibilities. This duty includes the
         protection of client and company confidential information and MSA's
         reputation for trustworthy financial service.

         As part of this ongoing responsibility, each employee has the duty to
         disclose to MSA any interest that he or she may have in any firm,
         corporation or business unit which is not affiliated or participating
         in any joint venture or partnership with MSA or its affiliates.(2)
         Disclosure should be timely so that MSA may take action concerning any
         possible conflict as it deems appropriate. It is recognized, however,
         that MSA has or may have business relationships with many organizations
         and that a relatively small interest in publicly traded securities of
         an organization does not necessarily give rise to a conflict of
         interest. Therefore, the following procedures have been adopted and
         approved by MSA.

         Procedures

a)       It is considered generally incompatible with an employee's duties to
         MSA to assume the position of director of a corporation. A report
         should be made by an employee to MSA of any invitation to serve as a
         director of a corporation which is not an affiliate and the person must
         receive the approval of the Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO") prior
         to accepting any such directorship. In the event that approval is
         given, the corporation in question shall immediately be placed on MSA's
         "Restricted List".

b)       Except as approved by the CCO, it is considered generally incompatible
         with the duties of an employee of MSA to act as an officer, general
         partner, consultant, agent, representative or employee of any other
         business, other than an affiliate.

----------------
(2) Affiliates shall mean any corporation controlling, controlled by or
    under common control with, MSA.


                                     Page 2

<PAGE>   3
c)       Except as approved by the CCO, employees may not have a monetary
         interest, as principal, co-principal, agent or beneficiary, directly or
         indirectly, or through any substantial interest in any other
         corporation or business unit, in any transaction involving MSA, subject
         to the same exceptions as are specifically permitted under law.

d)       Once a year, a "Questionnaire On Conflicts Of Interest", shall be
         distributed to each employee for completion and filing with the CCO or
         his designee. Each employee shall supplement the annual questionnaire
         as necessary to reflect any material change between annual filings

e)       Gifts/entertainment from third parties that do business with MSA, its
         affiliates, or its clients and exceed a value of $25 must be reported.
         You may not accept gifts/entertainment from third parties with a value
         exceeding $100 without the prior approval of your department head.

f)       Employees are to disclose to the CCO all personal securities holdings
         immediately upon commencement of employment, and in no case later than
         ten (10) days beyond the employee's start date. (See Exhibit C of the
         Personal Investment Policy attached for a copy of the "Employee Initial
         Securities Holdings Report and Certification" form).

g)       On an annual basis, employees must disclose to the CCO all personal
         securities holdings (i.e., all securities that are beneficially owned
         by an employee AS OF YEAR-END). The required disclosure should be made
         immediately after each calendar year and in no case later than January
         30th of any year. (See Exhibit D of the Personal Investment Policy
         attached for a copy of the "Employee Annual Securities Holdings Report
         and Certification" form).

h)       All reports furnished pursuant to this policy will be maintained on a
         confidential basis and will be reasonably secured to prevent
         unauthorized access to such files.


II.      THE CODE OF ETHICS AND STANDARDS OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT - FOR
         FINANCIAL ANALYSTS

         All members of the Association for Investment Management and Research
         (AIMR) and the holders of and candidates for the Chartered Financial
         Analyst designation are also obligated to conduct their activities in
         accordance with AIMR Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional
         Conduct.


III.     MUTUAL FUND CODE OF ETHICS AND SUPPLEMENT THERETO

         As discussed above, each employee is under a duty to exercise his or
         her authority and responsibility for the primary benefit of the
         Company. Employees must abstain from


                                     Page 3

<PAGE>   4

         participation (or any other involvement) in "insider trading"(3) in
         contravention of applicable laws or regulations. All personal
         securities transactions must be conducted consistent with the Code
         (which includes MSA's Personal Investment Policy) and in such a manner
         as to avoid any actual, potential or apparent conflict of interest or
         any abuse of an individual's position of trust and responsibility.
         Although MSA employees must expressly comply with the terms of this
         Code , as an investment adviser to registered investment companies, the
         Company and certain of its employees (i.e., Portfolio Managers,
         Analysts, Traders etc.) may owe a specific duty of care to each fund
         depending upon an employee's status as an "Access Persons"(4) of that
         mutual fund. MSA's legal/compliance group has reviewed the requirements
         of Rule 17j-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and has determined
         that an employee's compliance with the company's Code will satisfy not
         only that Rules requirements, but the substantive code of ethics
         requirements of every registered investment company that we sub-advise.

IV.      ACKNOWLEDGMENT

         Each employee must certify annually, in substantially the form of
         Exhibit A, that he or she has read and understood, and that they are
         subject to and have complied with, the Code.

V.       SANCTIONS

         While compliance with the provisions of the Code is anticipated,
         employees should be aware that in response to any violations, the
         Company shall take whatever action is deemed necessary under the
         circumstances including, but without limitation, the imposition of
         appropriate sanctions. These sanctions may include, among others, the
         reversal of trades, reallocation of trades to client accounts,
         disgorging profits or, in more serious cases, employee suspension or
         termination.

VI.      RECORD-KEEPING

----------------
(3)      "Insider Trading" is defined as the purchase or sale of securities of a
         public company while in possession of material, non-public information
         or communicating such information to others.

(4)      Rule 17j-1 defines an Access Person as any director, officer, general
         partner or "Advisory Person" of the investment advisor who, with
         respect to any Fund, makes any recommendation, participates in 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 her duties, obtains
         information concerning recommendations on Covered securities being made
         by the investment advisor to any fund. Rule 17j-1 defines Advisory
         Person as (i) any employee of the Fund or investment advisor (or of any
         company in a control relationship to the Fund or investment advisor)
         who, in connection with his or her regular function or duties, makes,
         participates in, or obtains information regarding the purchase or sale
         of Covered securities by a Fund, or whose functions relate to the
         making of any recommendations with respect to the purchase or sales;
         and (ii) any natural person in a control relationship to the Fund or
         investment advisor who obtains information concerning recommendations
         made to the Fund with regard to the purchase or sale of Covered
         securities by the Fund.

<PAGE>   5

         -        The Company Compliance Officer and the Local Compliance
                  Officer must maintain all records relating to compliance with
                  the Code, such as exception reports, other internal memoranda
                  relating to non-compliant transactions and preclearance
                  records, for a period of seven years.

         -        Upon request by the Company Compliance Officer, a Local
                  Compliance Officer will provide the Company Compliance Officer
                  access to the Local Compliance Officer's Code records.


VII.     EXCEPTIONS

         The Compliance officer, in consultation with internal legal counsel for
         the Company and the Local Compliance Officer, if applicable, may grant
         written exceptions to provisions of the Code in circumstances which
         present special hardship. The exceptions may be granted to individuals
         or classes of individuals with respect to particular transactions,
         classes of transactions or all transactions. Exceptions shall be
         structured to be as narrow as is reasonably practicable with
         appropriate safeguards designed to prevent abuse of the exception.
         Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, no exception to a provision of
         the Code shall be granted where such exception would result in a
         violation of Rule 17j-1. Any exception which is granted shall be
         reported to the Board at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the
         Directors.


VIII.    REVIEW BY  THE CCO

         The CCO will undertake an annual review with respect to the Code to
         verify that the Code is being followed. The results of this review will
         be set forth in an annual report by the CCO to the Board, not
         withstanding any information deemed material in nature, which the CCO
         will report at the next scheduled Board meeting. The report shall
         specify any related concerns and recommendations and be accompanied by
         the appropriate exhibits.

                           PERSONAL INVESTMENT POLICY



I. IN GENERAL

Madison Square Advisors LLC ("MSA") owes an undivided loyalty to its clients.
MSA also recognizes the need to permit its employee's reasonable freedom with
respect to their personal investment activities. It is important to balance in
an appropriate way these competing interests in a way which (a) acknowledges the
possibility of conflict between these duties and (b) sets forth standards to
assure that the primary duty of loyalty to its clients is fulfilled.

This policy ("Policy") supersedes and replaces in full any earlier policies on
the subjects regulated.

The Policy has been implemented by MSA although securities purchased or sold for
clients ordinarily trade in a sufficiently broad market to permit transactions
for clients or personal accounts to be completed without any appreciable impact
on the market for such securities.

Any questions which arise relating to the Policy should be referred to the Chief
Compliance Officer ("CCO") or Local Compliance Officer ("LCO"). If necessary,
any final determination of the administration of this policy will be made by the
Chairman or President in consultation with the CCO. This Policy is applicable to
all employees and directors

II. RECORD KEEPING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

1. Personal Record Keeping

Each employee of MSA is to maintain records adequate to establish that the
individual's personal investment decisions did not involve a conflict with the
requirements of the Policy. If there is any question as to whether a proposed
transaction might involve a possible violation of the Policy, the transaction
should be discussed in advance with the CCO or LCO.

                                     Page 2
<PAGE>   8
2. Pre-Clearance Reporting Requirement

Each employee shall file with the CCO or LCO (in writing, preferably via
electronic means), a request ("Request") in substantially the form of Exhibit B
before completing any transaction in covered securities in any account over
which the employee exercises "beneficial ownership"(1); provided, however, that
a Request need not be filed with respect to any transaction (a) effected in any
account which is managed on a discretionary basis by a person other than such
employee and with respect to which such employee does not in fact influence or
control such transactions and documentation describing that relationship has
been submitted to Compliance or (b) in securities listed in Part III (1) which
do not require prior approval.

3. Other Reporting Requirements

a) Statutory

         MSA is required under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and
         Investment Company Act of 1940 to keep records of transactions in
         securities in which its directors and employees have direct or indirect
         beneficial ownership. The following reporting requirements have been
         adopted to enable MSA to satisfy these requirements:

         1.   At the time of hiring, but in no case later than ten (10) days
              from the date of commencement of employment with the firm, every
              new employee shall submit to the CCO or LCO, a report in
              substantially the form of Exhibit C ("Employee Initial Securities
              Holdings Report and Certification"), disclosing every security and
              account in which that employee has a direct or indirect beneficial
              ownership interests;

         2.   At the end of each calendar year, but in no case later than
              January 30th of the following year, every employee shall submit to
              the CCO or LCO, a report in substantially the form of Exhibit D
              ("Employee Annual Securities Holdings Report and Certification"),
              disclosing all personal securities holdings beneficially owned by
              an employee AS OF YEAR-END;

         3.   Each employee shall file with the CCO or LCO, a report in
              substantially the form of Exhibit E ("Quarterly Report"), within
              10 days following the end of each calendar quarter in which a
              transaction occurs in Covered securities, other than those listed
              in Part III (1-4). The Quarterly Report must be filed for
              transactions in any

------------------
(1) Subject to the specific provisions of Rule 16a-1(a)(2), beneficial ownership
generally means having or sharing, directly or indirectly, through any contract
arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise, a direct or indirect
"pecuniary interest" in the securities. (i) "Pecuniary interest" means the
opportunity, directly or indirectly, to profit or share in any profit derived
from a transaction in the securities. (ii) "Indirect pecuniary interest"
includes: (a) generally, securities held by members of the person's "immediate
family" sharing the same household (which ownership interest may be rebutted);
(b) a general partner's proportionate interest in portfolio securities held by a
general or limited partnership; (c) a person's right to dividends that is
separated or separable from the underlying securities (otherwise, a right to
dividends alone will not constitute a pecuniary interest in securities); (d) a
person's interest in securities held by a trust; (e) a person's right to acquire
securities through the exercise or conversion of any derivative security,
whether or not presently exercisable; and (f) a performance-related fee, other
than an asset based fee, received by any broker, dealer, bank, insurance
company, investment company, investment manager, trustee, or person or entity
performing a similar function, with certain exceptions.


                                     Page 3
<PAGE>   9
              security in which a director or an employee has, or by reason of
              such transaction acquires or disposes of, any beneficial
              ownership. Employees must also disclose accounts opened or closed
              since the previous quarter. Each employee must sign and print the
              date of submission on their Quarterly Report.

          b)   Additional Quarterly Reporting

               Quarterly Report, the names and affiliations of family members(2)
               who are employed in the securities or commodities industries and
               who might be in a position to benefit directly or indirectly from
               the activities of Monitor's personnel in the discharge of their
               duties.

          c)   Duplicate Confirmations

               Each employee shall arrange for prompt filing by the broker,
               dealer and, if possible, bank (only applies to bank accounts used
               substantially as brokerage accounts) with the CCO or LCO of
               duplicate confirmations of all trades of personal securities and
               quarterly account statements. The duplicates shall be mailed to
               Madison Square Advisors LLC, 51 Madison Ave., New York, New York
               10010, Attention: Compliance Officer.

        III.   STATEMENT OF RESTRICTIONS

          1.   Pre-Clearance

               To help prevent "front running/scalping"(3) and other trading
               abuses, particularly with respect to thinly traded securities, no
               employee of MSA may purchase or sell, directly or indirectly,
               covered securities (except pursuant to the next paragraph)
               without prior approval of the CCO or LCO. The final determination
               shall be noted by the CCO or LCO on the Request Form and dated
               and communicated to the employee who submitted the request. The
               authorization provided by the CCO or LCO is effective, unless
               revoked, only for the calendar day that the request was submitted
               and ultimately approved. If the covered securities transaction is
               not executed on that same day, a new authorization must be
               obtained.

               Subject to the other restrictions set forth in this Part III and
               other applicable MSA's compliance policies relating to personal
               trading, transactions in the following instruments only shall not
               require prior approval of the CCO or LCO:

               1.  Bank Certificates of Deposit
               2.  Registered Open-End Mutual Fund Shares
               3.  Treasury Obligations
               4.  Unit Investment Trusts that hold securities in proportion to
                   a broad based market index

------------------
(2) For purposes of this Policy, family members include the individual's spouse,
minor children, parents or any relative of the individual or the individual's
spouse who is sharing the individual's home.

(3) "Front Running" is defined as buying or selling a security prior to the
release of material information. "Scalping" is defined as buying and selling a
security the same day.

<PAGE>   10
          2.   Front Running

               No employee of MSA may effect any transaction in covered
               securities which MSA is purchasing or selling for any client or
               proposes to purchase or sell for any client if such transaction
               would in any way conflict with, or be detrimental to, the
               interest of the client.

               In order to implement the preceding paragraph and to minimize the
               possibility of conflicts of interest, the following rules are
               hereby made applicable to all transactions by employees in
               covered securities:

         A.       No Personal Securities may be purchased or sold if (i) there
                  is a pending buy or sell order for clients of MSA(4) or (ii)
                  any purchase or sale of such securities have been made for MSA
                  client accounts in the prior seven calendar days or can
                  reasonably be anticipated for MSA client accounts in the next
                  seven calendar days.

                  The CCO or LCO may make an exception to this rule in the event
                  that the contemplated transaction involves (i) 500 shares or
                  less in the aggregate and the issuer has market capitalization
                  (outstanding shares multiplied by the current market price per
                  share) greater than $5 billion; or (ii) 500 shares or less in
                  the aggregate or, less than .001% of the issuer's market
                  capitalization, if the issuer has market capitalization
                  (outstanding shares multiplied by the current market price per
                  share) less than $5 billion; or (iii) investment grade debt
                  instruments less then $100,000.

         B.       Not withstanding anything expressly stated in the policy, no
                  covered securities may be purchased or sold if such purchase
                  or sale is effected with a view to making a profit from a
                  change in the price of such security resulting from
                  anticipated transactions by or for MSA's clients.

       3.  Use of Brokerage for Personal or Family Benefit

           No employee may, for direct or indirect personal or family members
           benefit, execute a trade with a broker by using the influence
           (implied or stated) of MSA or any director's or employee's influence
           (implied or stated) with MSA.

       4.  No Personal Trades Through MSA's Traders

           No Personal Securities trades may be effected through MSA's traders.
           Employees must effect such trades through their personal
           broker-dealers.

------------------
(4) For purposes of this policy, a "pending buy or sell order" shall include
both an order placed with a broker to buy or sell a security at a specified
price or better OR an internal decision by MSA to buy or sell a security at a
specified price or better.

       5. Initial Public Offerings

          No initial public offering of securities may be purchased for any
          account in which an employee has beneficial ownership, except with the
          express written prior approval by the CCO.

       6. Private Placements

          No private placement securities may be purchased for any account in
          which an employee has beneficial ownership, except with the express
          written prior approval by the CCO. All employees who have obtained
          prior approval and made an investment in a private placement must
          disclose that investment if that employee plays a part in any
          subsequent consideration of an investment in the issuer by client
          accounts. Under such circumstances, MSA's decision to purchase
          securities of the private placement issuer will be subject to an
          independent review by investment personnel with no investment in the
          issuer.

      7.  Restricted  Lists

          No employee may make a personal trade in securities of an issuer
          listed on the Company's Restricted List. A designated individual from
          the MSA Compliance Department will compare issuers listed on the
          Restricted Lists to ensure compliance with this limitation.

      8.  Inside Information

          Employees may not trade on "inside information" (i.e., material and
          non-public information) or communicate such information to others.
          However, inside information matters must be raised immediately with
          the CCO or LCO. Please refer to the New York Life Insurance Company
          Policy Statement on Inside Information for specific guidelines
          governing inside information.

      9.  Maximum Trades per Quarter

          While there is no maximum limitation on the number of trades that an
          employee may execute per quarter, this Code reserves the right of the
          CCO or LCO in consultation with the company's President to impose such
          a limitation on any employee.

      10. Sixty Day Holding Period

          No employee may profit from the purchase and sale or sale and purchase
          of the same (or equivalent) security within sixty calendar days.
          Exceptions may be made for emergency trades if approved by the CCO or
          LCO.

   IV.   SANCTIONS

         Upon discovering a violation of the Policy, MSA may impose sanctions as
         it deems appropriate, including, among other sanctions, reversal of any
         trade, reallocation of trades to client accounts, disgorgement, or
         suspension or termination of the employment of the violator.

   V.    REVIEW BY  CCO

         The CCO will undertake an annual review with respect to the Code to
         verify that the Code is being followed. The results of this review will
         be set forth in an annual report by the CCO to the Board, not
         withstanding any information deemed material in nature, which the CCO
         will report at the next scheduled Board meeting. The report shall
         specify any related concerns and recommendations and be accompanied by
         the appropriate exhibits.

         As of the date appearing above, the following are each and every

         Trusts that hold securities in proportion to a broad base index). For

         which the employee, or family member of that person holds a direct or

         authority or exercises a power of attorney. The term "family member"
         means any person's spouse, child or other relative, whether related by
         blood, marriage or otherwise, who either resides with, or is
         financially dependent upon, or whose investments are controlled by that
         person and any unrelated individual whose investments are controlled
