CODE OF ETHICS

Selected Regulatory Background

1940 Act – Rule 17j-1

Regulatory Summary

Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act requires, in part, that a fund registered under the 1940 Act and its investment adviser must adopt a written code of ethics containing provisions reasonably necessary to prevent its “Access Persons” (as defined in Rule 17j-1) from engaging in any conduct prohibited under the Rule.

The board of a fund, including a majority of directors who are not interested persons of the fund, must approve the code of ethics of the Fund, the code of ethics of each investment adviser and principal underwriter of the Fund, and any material changes to these codes. The board must base its approval of a code and any material changes to the code on a determination that the code contains provisions reasonably necessary to prevent Access Persons from engaging in any conduct prohibited under Rule 17j-1.

Any material amendment of a code must be submitted to the fund’s board for approval in accordance with Rule 17j-1 and shall become effective only when the board has approved the amendment in accordance with Rule 17j-1 or at such earlier date as may be required to comply with applicable law or regulation.

Appendix A

HARBOURVEST PRIVATE INVESTMENTS FUND

CODE OF ETHICS ADOPTED PURSUANT TO RULE 17j-1

 

1.

Purposes

This Code of Ethics (the “Fund Code”) has been adopted by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of HarbourVest Private Investments Fund (the “Fund”), in accordance with Rule 17j-1(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund and the Adviser (as defined below) are both affiliated with HarbourVest Partners L.P., an SEC registered investment adviser (“HarbourVest”). As set forth below, this Code incorporates portions of the HarbourVest Global Code of Ethics (the “HarbourVest Code”), as it may be amended from time to time, [the current version of which is attached as Exhibit A]. In the event of a conflict between a provision of the Fund Code and a provision of the HarbourVest Code, Access Persons (as defined below) must adhere to the stricter requirement. In implementing the Fund Code, personnel of the Fund and the Adviser shall act in accordance with the following general principles:

 

  1.

The duty at all times to place the interests of Fund shareholders first.

Fund personnel should scrupulously avoid serving their own personal interests ahead of shareholders’ interests in any decision relating to their personal investments.

 

  2.

The requirement that all personal securities transactions be conducted consistent with the Fund 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.

Fund personnel must not only seek to achieve technical compliance with the Fund Code but should strive to abide by its spirit and the principles articulated herein.

 

  3.

The fundamental standard that Fund personnel should not take inappropriate advantage of their positions.

Fund personnel must avoid any situation that might compromise, or call into question, their exercise of fully independent judgment in the interest of shareholders.

Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act generally proscribes fraudulent or manipulative practices with respect to a purchase or sale of a security held or to be acquired (as such term is defined in Section 2 of the Fund Code) by an investment company, if effected by an affiliated person of such company.

 

2


The purpose of the Fund Code is to establish procedures consistent with the 1940 Act and Rule 17j-1 to give effect to the following general prohibitions as set forth in Rule 17j-1(b) as follows:

It shall be unlawful for any affiliated person of or principal underwriter for the Fund, or any affiliated person of an investment adviser of or principal underwriter for the Fund, in connection with the purchase or sale, directly or indirectly, by the person of a security held or to be acquired by the Fund:

1. To employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud the Fund;

2. To make any untrue statement of a material fact to the Fund or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made to the Fund, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading;

3. To engage in any act, practice, or course of business which operates or would operate as a fraud or deceit on the Fund; or

4. To engage in any manipulative practice with respect to the Fund.

 

2.

Definitions

(a) “Access Person” means (i) any Advisory Person of the Fund or the Adviser. If the Adviser’s primary business is advising funds or other advisory clients, all of the Adviser’s directors, officers, and natural person general partners are presumed to be Access Persons of any funds advised by the Adviser. All of the Fund’s trustees, officers, and general partners are presumed to be Access Persons of the Fund; and (ii) any director, officer or general partner of a principal underwriter who, in the ordinary course of business, makes, participates in or obtains information regarding, the purchase or sale of Covered Securities1 by the Fund 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 Fund regarding the purchase or sale of Covered Securities.

(b) “Adviser” means the investment adviser of the Fund, HarbourVest Registered Advisers L.P. and any subadviser of the Fund.

(c) “Advisory Person” means (i) any director, officer, general partner or employee of the Fund or the Adviser (or of any company in a control relationship to the Fund or the Adviser) who, in connection with his or her regular functions or duties, makes, participates in, or obtains current or pending information regarding, the purchase or sale of Covered Securities by the Fund, or whose functions relate to the making of any recommendations with respect to such purchases or sales; and (ii) any natural person in a control relationship to the Fund or the Adviser who obtains information concerning recommendations made to the Fund with regard to the purchase or sale of Covered Securities by the Fund.

Appendix B

Guidelines for Independent Trustees to Seek Preclearance to Trade in Shares of

HarbourVest Private Investments Fund (the “Fund”)

1. Introduction

Under the Fund’s Code of Ethics, the Fund’s Independent Trustees are presumed to be Access Persons (see Section 2(a) of the Fund Code), and Access Persons, including Independent Trustees, are required to preclear all personal securities transactions in shares of the Fund following the procedures in the HarbourVest Global Code of Ethics (the “HarbourVest Code”). Such requests for preclearance from Independent Trustees to transact in shares of the Fund must be submitted to the CCO or designee for approval.

Under the HarbourVest Code Access Persons (termed “Staff Members” under the HarbourVest Code) are generally permitted to trade (i.e., subscribe, purchase, convert, transfer, or participate in a tender offer or share repurchase) in Fund shares subject to meeting all applicable regulatory requirements and conditions set forth in the HarbourVest Code, in the Fund prospectus, and in the account opening form (altogether, the “Trading Requirements”).

2. Preclearance Process

Also under the HarbourVest Code, in order to transact in shares of the Fund, Staff Members are required to adhere to the Guidelines for Staff Members and their Family Members to Seek Preclearance to Transact in Fund Shares of (the “Staff Member Guidelines”).

The Staff Member Guidelines apply to Independent Trustees as if they were Staff Members, except that instead of submitting a preclearance request via ComplySci as stated in Paragraphs 1.A. and 2.A. of the Guidelines, Independent Trustees are directed to complete the Fund Preclearance Form attached below and email it to the CCO’s designee at Compliance@harbourvest.com.

Upon receipt of approval of the preclearance request from the CCO (or designee), the Independent Trustee will receive an invitation to Subscribe (trading platform for Fund shares) with account opening instructions to proceed with the transaction that was precleared. Within five days of obtaining pre-clearance, the Independent Trustee must submit via Subscribe confirmation of pre-clearance along with other required Subscribe documentation. If the Independent Trustee does not submit the confirmation of pre-clearance or other required Subscribe documentation within five days, the Independent Trustee must submit a new preclearance request. Note that the 90 calendar day waiting periods set forth in Paragraph 1.C. and 2.C. of the Staff Member Guidelines do apply to Independent Trustees. Please be mindful to ensure that an approved trade is executed within the applicable Approved Trade Window.

 

11


If the Independent Trustee wishes to change any aspect of the transaction (e.g., timing, amount of shares, etc.), then she/he must submit a new preclearance request and await approval before attempting to transact.

The Independent Trustees must provide confirmation within 24 hours of subscribing to Compliance@harbourvest.com.

Within 10 days of receiving a trade confirmation statement, Independent Trustees must provide the CCO (or designee) with a copy of the trade confirmation or statement which reflects the details of their Fund transaction by emailing such confirmation or statement to Compliance@harbourvest.com.

For the avoidance of doubt, all future subscriptions after the initial subscription must follow the requirements above.

Once an Independent Trustee holds shares of the Fund having transacted in compliance with these Guidelines, the Independent Trustee does not need to preclear transactions made pursuant to the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan or the receipt of cash dividends issued by the Fund based on holding Fund shares.

3. Special Requirements for Fund Insiders

Independent Trustees are considered Fund Insiders under the Compliance With Section 16 (Ownership Filings) Policy and must also immediately notify Compliance (by email at Compliance@harbourvest.com) after the completion of a transaction in Fund shares (including transactions that were approved via preclearance) and provide the following information:

 

   

The nature of the transaction (i.e., purchase or sale of Fund shares);

 

   

The number of Fund shares involved in the transaction;

 

   

The execution date or dates of the transaction;

 

   

The price at which each block of Fund shares were purchased or sold; and

 

   

The names of parties involved in the transaction in addition to the Fund Insider.

4. Additional Provisions

Any Independent Trustee who wishes to participate in a tender offer (or share repurchase) of Fund shares should recuse themself from the vote on whether the Fund will execute a tender offer for the time when the Independent Trustee’s shares would be repurchased.

The approval of a preclearance request by the CCO (or designee) does not necessarily mean that a trade request will be approved or accepted by the Fund or its transfer agent or other service providers.

 

12


It is the Independent Trustee’s responsibility to ensure that an approved trade is submitted and executed within the applicable Approved Trade Window. If an Independent Trustee fails to complete an approved trade within the applicable Approved Trade Window, they must submit a new preclearance request before again attempting to transact in Fund shares. Any questions about the applicable Approved Trade Window should be directed to the CCO (or designee) at Compliance@harbourvest.com.

The CCO (or designee) is not conducting a suitability assessment or otherwise determining an Independent Trustee’s qualification for investing in the Fund.

Nothing in these Guidelines is an offer to sell securities issued by the Fund. Please speak with your financial advisor for important information regarding any potential investment in the Fund.

Any additional questions may be directed to the CCO (or designee) at Compliance@harbourvest.com.
