Rockefeller Capital Management Code of Ethics Around the world, the Rockefeller name embodies a unique reputation to be treasured and protected. At all times, we are committed to conducting our business with uncompromising integrity to the highest standards. To strengthen and deepen that commitment, we must each assume responsibility for our actions. The Rockefeller Capital Management Code of Ethics (Code) represents our individual and collective obligation to preserve and protect the Firms principles, shaped by over 140 years working alongside members of the Rockefeller family. This requires that we each do our part, even when not expedient or easy to do so. We recommend you use this Code as a resource and compass to guide your decision-making and actions. If you have questions about the Code of Ethics or any related policy, seek guidance from your manager, the Legal and Compliance Department, or other contact referenced in this Code. Internal Use Only 3
This Code of Ethics is rooted in Rockefeller Capital Managements (RCM, Rockefeller, or Firm) core value of Commitment to Integrity. While we strictly adhere to the principle Do the right thing, our Commitment to Integrity signifies Rockefellers unwavering dedication to upholding an ethical culture. Neither Rockefellers Code nor its policies can anticipate or address every possible issue or situation that may arise, and the proper course of action may not always be clear. When something doesnt feel right or there is any uncertainty as to the appropriate decision or course of action, asking yourself questions through the lens of the Firms values and standards can help you decide how to proceed.

Supervised Persons This Code outlines the standards of ethical conduct we expect from ourselves and each other. Rockefeller has adopted this Code to affirm the values and principles that guide the business conduct of the Firm and its Supervised Persons. Supervised Persons include any: Partner, officer, director (or other person occupying a similar status or performing similar functions); Employee, contingent worker, and intern of Rockefeller and its subsidiaries; Other person who provides investment advice on behalf of Rockefeller; or Other person subject to Rockefellers supervision and control who the Legal & Compliance Department determines is subject to the Code. Compliance with the Code is a term and condition of each Supervised Persons employment. While you are not expected to know the details of every law governing the Firms business, you are expected to be familiar with and adhere to the Firms Code of Ethics and policies and procedures applicable to RCM, your business line, and job responsibilities. Policies and Procedures The Code provides an overview of expected conduct in a number of key areas, but it does not constitute a comprehensive set of requirements. Rather, many of the principles and standards stated in the Code are detailed in separate Firm policies and procedures. Therefore, RCMs Code of Ethics must be read along with other applicable Compliance policies, which can be found on RCMs Policies & Procedures Portal. RESOURCES AND CONTACTS RCM Policies and Procedures Portal Code Violations Noncompliance with Rockefellers Code of Ethics can put our clients and colleagues at risk, result in significant legal and regulatory exposure for the Firm, and subject Rockefellers legacy to serious reputational harm. Regardless of business line, position, or seniority, all Supervised Persons must comply with the laws and regulations governing our businesses, adhere to Firm policies and procedures, and maintain the highest ethical standards in all we do.

Avoiding Conflicts of Interest A conflict may arise when the interest of the Firm, an Employee or a Client are in actual or perceived opposition. Conflicts pose risks that decisions or actions may be improperly influenced by personal or other motivations that have the potential to harm clients, colleagues, and/or the Firm. To ensure Rockefeller maintains its reputation and commitment to the highest ethical standards, the Firm has established a Conflicts of Interest Policy that requires Rockefeller, its various business units, and Supervised persons to: Identify and manage conflicts through an established conflicts framework; Be vigilant about whether activities or relationships could create an actual or potential conflict of interest, or even the appearance of a conflict, and avoid those activities or relationships; and Adhere to the Conflicts of Interest Policy to eliminate and/or mitigate any conflicts. Where a conflict cannot be avoided, it must be disclosed so the Firm can review and manage the conflict in an appropriate manner.
