Exhibit 99.B(p)(30)
APPENDIX H
CODE OF ETHICS
I. INTRODUCTION
High ethical standards are essential for the success of the Adviser and to maintain the confidence of clients and investors in investment funds managed by the Adviser (“clients”). The Adviser’s long-term business interests are best served by adherence to the principle that the interests of clients come first. We have a fiduciary duty to clients to act solely for the benefit of our clients. All personnel of the Adviser, including directors, officers and employees of the Adviser must put the interests of the Adviser’s clients before their own personal interests and must act honestly and fairly in all respects in dealings with clients. All personnel of the Adviser must also comply with all federal securities laws. In recognition of the Adviser’s fiduciary duty to its clients and the Adviser’s desire to maintain its high ethical standards, the Adviser has adopted this Code of Ethics (the “Code”) containing provisions designed to prevent improper personal trading, identify conflicts of interest and provide a means to resolve any actual or potential conflicts in favor of the Adviser’s clients.
Adherence to the Code of Ethics and the related restrictions on personal investing is considered a basic condition of employment by the Adviser. If you have any doubt as to the propriety of any activity, you should consult with the Compliance Officer, who is charged with the administration of this Code of Ethics.
II. DEFINITIONS

This also includes situations where temporary employees have access to nonpublic information regarding the portfolio holdings of any reportable fund. Such temporary employees will be treated as Access Persons for the limited scope and duration of their access to such information. |
| 2. | Automatic Investment Plan means a program in which regular periodic purchases (or withdrawals) are made automatically in (or from) investment accounts in accordance with a predetermined schedule and allocation, including a dividend reinvestment plan. |
| 3. | Beneficial ownership includes ownership by any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, has or shares a direct or indirect financial interest other than the receipt of an advisory fee. 4. |
| 4. | Covered Person means any director/manager, officer, employee or Access Person of the Adviser. |
| 5. | Federal Securities Laws means the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, any rules adopted by the Commission under any of these statutes, the Bank Secrecy Act as it applies to funds and investment advisers, and any rules adopted thereunder by the Commission or the Department of the Treasury. |

H-1
| 7. | Limited Offering means an offering that is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to section 4(2) or section 4(6) or pursuant to Rule 504, Rule 505, or Rule 506. |

| 11. | Short Sale means the sale of securities that the seller does not own. A Short Sale is “against the box” to the extent that the seller contemporaneously owns or has the right to obtain securities identical to those sold short, at no added cost. |
III. APPLICABILITY OF CODE OF ETHICS
Personal Accounts of Covered Persons. This Code of Ethics applies to all Personal Accounts of all Covered Persons.
A Personal Account also includes an account maintained by or for:
| · | Person’s spouse (other than a legally separated or divorced spouse of the Covered Person) and minor children; |
| · | Any immediate family members who live in the Covered Person’s household; |
| · | Any persons to whom the Covered Person provides primary financial support, and either (i) whose financial affairs the Covered Person controls, or (ii) for whom the Covered Person provides discretionary advisory services; and |
| · | Any partnership, corporation or other entity in which the Covered Person has a 25% or greater beneficial interest, or in which the Covered Person exercises effective control. |
A comprehensive list of all Covered Persons and Personal Accounts will be maintained by the Adviser’s Compliance Officer.
H-2
IV. RESTRICTIONS ON PERSONAL INVESTING ACTIVITIES
| 1. | General. It is the responsibility of each Covered Person to ensure that a particular securities transaction being considered for his or her Personal Account is not subject to a restriction contained in this Code of Ethics or otherwise prohibited by any applicable laws. Personal securities transactions for Covered Persons may be effected only in accordance with the provisions of this Section. |
| 2. | Preclearance of Transactions in Personal Account. A Covered Person must obtain the prior written approval, of either the Compliance Officer or the Chief Executive Officer before engaging in any transaction in his or her Personal Account. The transaction may be approved if it is concluded that the transaction would comply with the provisions of this Code of Ethics and is not likely to have any adverse economic impact on clients. Generally, any security appearing on the Restricted Security list will not be approved for personal trading. A Transaction Preclearance Form is annexed as Attachment A. The Adviser is required to maintain as part of the firm’s books and records copies of all Transaction Preclearance Forms in which approval is granted for the purchase by Covered Persons of securities in an initial public offering, limited offering or private placement. The Adviser is required to maintain such Transaction Preclearance Forms for a period of five years following end of the fiscal year in which the Form was submitted. |
| 3. | Prohibitions on Trading in Securities on the Restricted Securities List. A Covered Person may not execute any personal securities transaction of any kind in any securities on the Restricted Securities list. The Compliance Officer will administer a list of all Restricted Securities. Each portfolio manager and analyst will immediately notify the Compliance Officer of the commencement of any research or consideration of a security. The Compliance Officer will ensure that securities under consideration for clients, as well as any securities owned by clients are promptly added to the Restricted Securities list. |
| 4. | Short Sales. A Covered Person may not engage in any short sale of a security on the Restricted Security list. However, short sales of securities that are not on the Restricted Securities list “against the box” are permitted. |
| 5. | Initial Public Offerings. A Covered Person may not acquire any direct or indirect beneficial ownership in my securities in any initial public offering without prior written approval of the Compliance Officer. |
| 6. | Private Placements and Investment Opportunities of Limited Availability. A Covered Person may not acquire any direct or indirect beneficial ownership in any securities in any private placement of securities or investment opportunity of limited availability unless the Compliance Officer has given express prior written approval. The Compliance Officer, in determining whether approval should be given, will consider, among other factors, whether the investment opportunity should be reserved for clients and whether the opportunity is being offered to the Covered Person by virtue of his or her position with the Adviser. |
Any investment a Covered Person has been authorized to make which acquires securities in a limited offering must be disclosed when the Covered Person is involved in the Fund’s subsequent consideration of an investment in that issuer, and the Fund’s decision to purchase such securities must be independently reviewed by investment personnel with no personal interests in that issuer.
| 7. | Service on Boards of Directors; Other Business Activities. A Covered Person shall not serve as a director (or similar position) on the board or a member of a creditors committee of any company unless the Covered Person has received written approval from the Compliance Officer and the Adviser has adopted policies to address such service. Authorization will be based upon a determination that the board service would not be inconsistent with the interest of any client account. At the time a Covered Person submits the holdings report in accordance with Section VI.3 of this Code of Ethics, the Covered Person will submit to the Compliance Officer a description of any business activities in which the Covered Person has a significant role. A Form of Report on Outside Business Activities is Attached as Attachment E. |
H-3
| 8. | Short Term or Excessive Trading. The Adviser believes that short term or excessive personal trading by its Covered Persons can raise compliance and conflicts issues. Accordingly, no Covered Person may purchase and sell the securities of the same issuer within 30 days or engage in more than 5 personal securities transactions during any month. |
| 9. | No Trading on Same Day as the Fund. Covered Persons are generally prohibited from personal trades of the same security on the same day when the Adviser’s clients trade. The Compliance Officer may on an ad hoc basis permit such trades provided the Adviser maintains documentation for the approval of such trade. |
| 10. | Management of Non-Adviser Accounts. Covered Persons are prohibited from managing accounts for third parties who are not clients of the Adviser or serving as a trustee for third parties unless the Compliance Officer preclears the arrangement and finds that the arrangement would not harm any client. The Compliance Officer may require the Covered Person to report transactions for such account and may impose such conditions or restrictions as are warranted under the circumstances. |
| 11. | Cryptocurrency. In 2018, the SEC began regulation of Cryptocurrency, specifically regarding Initial Coin Offerings (“ICOs”). While the SEC has not yet provided clear guidance on the treatment of Cryptocurrencies as securities, they have been reviewing, and even penalizing, advisers for participation in ICOs. As a result, Kettle Hill is treating Cryptocurrencies, internally, as a reportable security. Covered Persons are permitted to participate in ICOs, and to hold Cryptocurrencies in their personal portfolio. However, they must report those holdings to the CCO along with their other personal holdings; specifically, to review if any conflict is created by their position. |
V. EXCEPTIONS FROM PRECLEARANCE PROVISIONS
In recognition of the de minimis or involuntary nature of certain transactions, this section sets forth exceptions from the preclearance requirements. The restrictions and reporting obligations of the Code of Ethics will continue to apply to any transaction exempted from preclearance pursuant to this Section. Accordingly, the following transactions will be exempt only from the preclearance requirements of Section IV.2:
| 1. | Purchases or sales that are non-volitional on the part of the Covered Person such as purchases that are made pursuant to a merger, tender offer or exercise of rights; |
| 2. | Purchases or sales pursuant to an Automatic Investment Plan; |
| 3. | Transactions in securities that are not Reportable Securities; and |
| 4. | Transactions effected in, and the holdings of, any account over which the Covered Person has no direct or indirect influence or control (i.e., blind trust, discretionary account or trust managed by a third party). |
H-4
VI. REPORTING

| b. | The report must be dated the day the Covered Person submits it, and must contain information that is current as of a date no more than 45 days prior to the date the person becomes a Covered Person of the Adviser. A form of the initial report is set forth in Attachment B. The Covered Person can satisfy the initial or annual holdings report requirements by timely filing and dating a copy of all brokerage account statements listing all of your Reportable Securities holdings. Annual reports are due within 30 days of the start of the calendar year. |
| 4. | Annual Disclosure of Securities Holdings. All Covered Persons shall, no later than January 31 each year, file an annual holdings report containing the same information required in the initial holdings report as described above. The information submitted must be current as of a date no more than forty-five (45) days before the annual report is submitted. |
H-5
| 5. | Exceptions to Reporting Requirements. A Covered Person need not submit any report with respect to securities held in accounts over which the Covered Person has not direct or indirect influence or control or transaction reports with respect to transactions effected pursuant to an automatic investment plan. |
| 6. | Covered Persons must report immediately any suspected violations to the Compliance Officer. |
| 7. | Transactions Subject to Review. The Compliance Officer (or his delegate) is responsible for reviewing the Reportable Securities transactions and holdings of Covered Persons. |
