| Seligman |
| 140 Years of Investment Experience |
| J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated is a firm with a long tradition of investment expertise, offering a broad array of investment choices to help today’s investors seek their long-term financial goals. |
|
|
| Established in 1864, Seligman has a history of providing financial services marked not by fanfare, but rather by a quiet and firm adherence to financial prudence. While the world has changed dramatically in the 140 years since Seligman first opened its doors, the firm has continued to offer its clients high-quality investment solutions through changing times. |
|
|
| In the late 19th century, as the country grew, Seligman helped finance the westward expansion of the railroads, the construction of the Panama Canal, and the launching of urban transit systems. In the early 20th century, the firm helped fund the growing capital needs of new industries, including the nascent automobile and steel industries. |
|
|
| With the formation of Tri-Continental Corporation in 1929 — today, one of the nation’s largest diversified publicly-traded closed-end investment companies — Seligman began shifting its emphasis to investment management. In 1930, Seligman established what would be the first in an impressive lineup of mutual funds. |
|
|
| Seligman is proud of its distinctive past and of the traditional values that continue to shape the firm’s business decisions and investment judgment. While much has changed over the years, the firm’s commitment to providing prudent investment management that seeks to build wealth for clients over time is an enduring value that will continue to guide Seligman. |

Charles W. Kadlec |
Q: | How did Seligman Time Horizon/Harvester Series, Inc. perform for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003? |
|
|
A: | During this time, based on the net asset value of Class A shares, Seligman Time Horizon 30 Fund delivered a total return of 39.22%, Seligman Time Horizon 20 Fund delivered 37.96%, Seligman Time Horizon 10 Fund delivered 32.96%, and Seligman Harvester Fund delivered 21.44%. |
|
|
Q: | What market conditions and events materially affected the Funds’ performances during the period? |
|
|
A: | Equity markets around the world, after more than two years of declines, staged an impressive rally in 2003. US markets were driven higher by the fall of Iraq to coalition forces, better-than-expected economic growth, higher-than-expected corporate profits, extraordinary productivity gains, and continued low interest rates and low inflation. |
|
|
| Continued strong productivity gains indicate that the capital spending boom of the last half of the 1990s continues to pay dividends. Such gains reduce unit labor costs even as real income rises and increases profit margins. Even during the economic slowdown, productivity continued to advance on average more than 3% a year. And during this past year, productivity surged. That allowed companies to pay higher wages even as they reduced unit labor costs, increased profits, and held the line on price increases. |
|
|
| Investor willingness to take on additional risk within this improving economic environment was evidenced by the fact that smaller-company stocks were pursued to a greater degree than large-company stocks. |
|
|
| Mid-cap stocks outperformed large-caps, but underperformed small-caps. An increased tolerance for risk was also seen in the fixed-income market. The highest-quality bonds, such as US Treasury securities, delivered the weakest returns, while lower-quality high-yield bonds had an outstanding year. |
|
|
| Stimulative monetary policies throughout the world and the aggressively pro-growth fiscal policy in the US boosted economic activity around the world, and global equities posted strong returns. Global investors were more confident and risk-tolerant than they have been in years, and favored more cyclical and volatile investments. This was particularly evident in the strength of the emerging-markets rally that took place in 2003. |
|
|
Q: | What investment strategies or techniques materially affected the Funds’ performances during the period? |
|
|
A: | All the Funds’ underlying funds contributed positively to portfolio performance. Some, however, delivered outstanding returns. |
|
|
| All the Funds in the Series benefited from their significant exposure to the technology sector. Seligman Time Horizon 30 Fund, however, had the greatest exposure, and so benefited the most, while Seligman Harvester Fund had the lowest exposure, and so benefited least from the impressive tech-market rally of 2003. |
|
|
| Seligman Time Horizon 30, 20, and 10 Funds all have somewhat heavy weightings in small- and mid-cap stocks and so benefited from the outsized performances delivered in these areas. However, even Seligman Harvester Fund, the Series’ most |

|

| conservative offering, provides some exposure to mid-cap stocks. |
|
|
| All the Funds benefited from their exposure to international stock markets, but Seligman Time Horizon 30 Fund, with its relatively heavy exposure to global smaller companies and emerging markets, benefited to the greatest degree since these areas delivered particularly strong performances. |
|
|
| Fixed-income investments generally lagged equity investments in 2003. This equity-market outperformance benefited Seligman Time Horizon 30 and 20 Funds, which hold no fixed-income funds. |
|
|
| Most of Seligman Time Horizon 10 Fund’s exposure to fixed income is through the Seligman High-Yield Bond Series, which delivered double-digit returns that approached the returns seen in the equity markets. |
|
|
| Seligman Harvester Fund has the same exposure to high-yield as Seligman Time Horizon 10 Fund, but its fixed-income allocation is heavier overall. It is the only Fund in the Series to hold Seligman U.S. Government Securities Series, which delivered a weak, although positive, total return. It is important to note that Seligman U.S. Government Securities Series was the Series’ best-performing underlying fund in fiscal-year 2002, and Seligman Harvester Fund benefited from its exposure to this asset class last year. |

Seligman Time Horizon 30 Fund |
This chart compares a $10,000 hypothetical investment made in Seligman Time Horizon 30 Fund Class A shares since the commencement of operations on January 10, 2000, through December 31, 2003, to $10,000 investments made in the Horizon 30 Composite Index and the S&P 500 for the same period. The results for Seligman Time Horizon 30 Fund Class A shares were determined with and without the initial 4.75% maximum sales charge, and assume that all distributions within the period are invested in additional shares. The performances of Seligman Time Horizon 30 Fund Class B, Class C, and Class D shares are not shown in this chart but are included in the table on page 7. This chart does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Past performance is not indicative of future investment results. It is important to keep in mind that the Horizon 30 Composite Index and the S&P 500 exclude the effects of taxes, fees and sales charges.
The performances of Class B, Class C, and Class D shares will differ from the performance shown for Class A shares, based on the differences in sales charges and fees paid by shareholders.

Performance Overview |
Seligman Time Horizon 10 Fund |
This chart compares a $10,000 hypothetical investment made in Seligman Time Horizon 10 Fund Class A shares since the commencement of operations on January 10, 2000, through December 31, 2003, to $10,000 investments made in the Horizon 10 Composite Index and the S&P 500 for the same period. The results for Seligman Time Horizon 10 Fund Class A shares were determined with and without the initial 4.75% maximum sales charge, and assume that all distributions within the period are invested in additional shares. The performances of Seligman Time Horizon 10 Fund Class B, Class C, and Class D shares are not shown in this chart but are included in the table on page 11. This chart does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Past performance is not indicative of future investment results. It is important to keep in mind that the Horizon 10 Composite Index and the S&P 500 exclude the effects of taxes, fees and sales charges.
The performances of Class B, Class C, and Class D shares will differ from the performance shown for Class A shares, based on the differences in sales charges and fees paid by shareholders.

Performance Overview
The rates of return will vary and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. Shares, if redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance data quoted does not reflect the deduction of taxes that an investor may pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Past performance is not indicative of future investment results.
J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated is currently waiving its investment management fee and reimbursing a portion of the Fund’s expenses, other than distribution and service fees, that exceed 0.50% per annum of the Fund’s average daily net assets pursuant to a contractual undertaking. Absent such waivers and reimbursements, the Fund’s returns would have been lower.
* |
| Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized. |
** |
| Return figures reflect any change in price per share and assume the investment of dividend and capital gain distributions. Return figures for Class A shares are calculated with and without the effect of the initial 4.75% maximum sales charge. Returns for Class B shares are calculated with and without the effect of the maximum 5% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”), charged on redemptions made within one year of the date of purchase, declining to 1% in the sixth year and 0% thereafter. Returns for Class C shares are calculated with and without the effect of the initial 1% maximum sales charge and the 1% CDSC, charged on redemptions made within 18 months of the date of purchase. Returns for Class D shares are calculated with and without the effect of the 1% CDSC, charged on redemptions made within one year of the date of purchase. |
*** |
| The CDSC is 5% for periods of one year or less and 3% since inception. |
† |
| Commencement of investment operations for Class A shares was 1/10/00. Class A share returns were computed from the commencement of investment operations. Class B, C, and D shares were offered to the public on 1/10/00, but were first issued at the dates indicated below. Total returns for Class B, C, and D shares of the Fund have been computed from the commencement of investment operations and incorporate the total return of Class A shares of the Fund from the commencement of investment operations through the initial issuance date of each of the other classes of shares, adjusted to reflect the higher expenses associated with the Administration, Shareholder Services and Distribution Plan for those classes that would have been incurred had they first been issued on the commencement of investment operations date. The total returns of Class B, C, and D shares from their individual initial issuance dates would be different, and may be lower, than those shown. See the Financial Highlights tables beginning on page 32 for total returns for each class of shares from their individual initial issuance dates. |

1. | Multiple Classes of Shares — Seligman Time Horizon/Harvester Series, Inc. (the “Series”) consists of four separate funds: Seligman Time Horizon 30 Fund (“Time Horizon 30 Fund”), Seligman Time Horizon 20 Fund (“Time Horizon 20 Fund”), Seligman Time Horizon 10 Fund (“Time Horizon 10 Fund”), and Seligman Harvester Fund (“Harvester Fund”). Each Fund invests in a combination of Class A shares of other Seligman mutual funds (the “Underlying Funds”). | |
|
| |
| Each Fund of the Series offers four classes of shares — Class A shares, Class B shares, Class C shares, and Class D shares. Class A shares are sold with an initial sales charge of up to 4.75%. Class A shares purchased in an amount of $1,000,000 or more are sold without an initial sales charge but are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1% on redemptions within 18 months of purchase. | |
|
| |
| Class B shares are sold without an initial sales charge but are subject to a distribution fee of 0.75% on an annual basis, and a CDSC, if applicable, of 5% on redemptions in the first year of purchase, declining to 1% in the sixth year and 0% thereafter. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares on the last day of the month that precedes the eighth anniversary of their date of purchase. | |
|
| |
| Class C shares are sold primarily with an initial sales charge of up to 1% and a CDSC, if applicable, of 1% imposed on redemptions made within 18 months of purchase. Effective November 25, 2003, shares purchased through certain financial intermediaries may be bought without an initial sales charge and with a 1% CDSC on redemptions made within 12 months of purchase. All Class C shares are subject to a distribution fee of up to 0.75% on an annual basis. | |
|
| |
| Class D shares are sold without an initial sales charge but are subject to a distribution fee of up to 0.75% on an annual basis, and a CDSC, if applicable, of 1% imposed on redemptions made within one year of purchase. | |
|
| |
| The four classes of shares for each Fund represent interests in the same portfolio of investments, have the same rights and are generally identical in all respects except that each class bears its separate distribution and certain other class-specific expenses, and has exclusive voting rights with respect to any matter on which a separate vote of any class is required. | |
|
| |
2. | Significant Accounting Policies — The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Series: | |
|
| |
| a. | Security Valuation — Underlying Funds owned by a Fund are valued at their respective net asset values. US Government securities and short-term obligations, with more than 60 days remaining to maturity, are valued at current market values. Short-term holdings maturing in 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost. |
|
|
|
| b. | Federal Taxes — Each Fund in the Series has elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company and intends to distribute substantially all taxable net income and net gain realized. |
|
|
|
| c. | Security Transactions and Related Investment Income — Investment transactions are recorded on trade dates. Identified cost of investments sold is used for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Dividends receivable and payable are recorded on ex-dividend dates. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. |
|
|
|
| d. | Multiple Class Allocations — Each Fund’s income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses), and realized and unrealized gains or losses are allocated daily to each class of shares of that Fund based upon the relative value of the shares of each class. Class-specific expenses, which include |
23 |
|
Notes to Financial Statements
|
| distribution and service fees and any other items that are specifically attributed to a particular class, are charged directly to such class. For the year ended December 31, 2003, distribution and service fees were the only class-specific expenses. |
|
|
|
| e. | Distributions to Shareholders — The treatment for financial statement purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense, or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations, or net asset values per share of any Fund of the Series. |
|
|
|
3. | Purchases and Sales of Securities — Purchases and sales of portfolio securities (underlying funds), excluding short-term investments, for the year ended December 31, 2003, were as follows: |

4. | Management Fee, Distribution Services, and Other Transactions — J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated (the “Manager”) manages the affairs of the Series and provides the necessary personnel and facilities. Compensation of all officers of the Series, all directors of the Series who are employees of the Manager, and all personnel of the Series and the Manager is paid by the Manager. The Manager receives a fee, calculated daily and payable monthly, equal to 0.10% per annum of each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Manager has contractually undertaken to waive its fee and reimburse each Fund’s expenses, other than distribution and service fees, that exceed 0.50% per annum of the Fund’s average daily net assets through December 31, 2003 and that exceed 0.75% per annum of average daily net assets from January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2010. |
|
|
| Seligman Advisors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), agent for the distribution of the Series’ shares and an affiliate of the Manager, received the following concessions for sales of Class A shares after commissions were paid to dealers for sales of Class A and Class C shares: |

| Each Fund of the Series has an Administration, Shareholder Services and Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) with respect to distribution of its shares. Under the Plan, with respect to Class A, Class B, Class C, and Class D shares, service organizations can enter into agreements with the Distributor and receive a continuing fee (12b-1 fee) of up to 0.25% per annum of the average daily net assets attributable to the particular service organizations for providing personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. To avoid any duplication of the 12b-1 fee, the 12b-1 fees to be paid by each class of a Fund will be reduced by the dollar amount of any 12b-1 fees paid by the Underlying Funds with respect to shares owned by the Fund. |
|
|
| For the year ended December 31, 2003, 12b-1 fees incurred by the Time Horizon 30 Fund, Time Horizon 20 Fund, Time Horizon 10 Fund, and the Harvester Fund (net of 12b-1 fees paid by underlying funds), aggregated $130, $160, $190, and $129, respectively, or 0.01% per annum of the average daily net assets of Class A shares. |
|
|
| With respect to Class C and Class D shares, service organizations may receive up to 0.75% per annum of the average daily net assets for providing other distribution assistance. Such fees are paid monthly by the Funds to the Distributor pursuant to the Plan. |
|
|
| With respect to Class B shares, a distribution fee of 0.75% per annum of the average daily net assets is payable monthly by the Funds to the Distributor; however, the Distributor has sold its rights to this fee to third parties (the “Purchasers”), which provide funding to the Distributor to enable it to pay commissions to dealers at the time of the sale of the related Class B shares. |
|
|
| For the year ended December 31, 2003, the 12b-1 fees incurred under the Plan (net of 12b-1 fees paid by Underlying Funds), and their equivalent per annum percentage of the average daily net assets of Class B, Class C, and Class D shares, were as follows: |

| The Distributor has sold its rights to the Purchasers to collect any CDSC imposed on redemptions of Class B shares. In connection with the sale of its rights to collect any CDSC and the distribution fees with respect to Class B shares described above, the Distributor receives payments from the Purchasers based on the value of Class B shares sold. The aggregate of such payments retained by the Distributor for the year ended December 31, 2003, were as follows: |

Deferred fees and related accrued earnings are not deductible by the Fund for federal income tax purposes until such amounts are paid. The cost of such fees and earnings/loss accrued theron is included in directors’ fees and expenses, and the accumulated balances thereof at December 31, 2003, included in other liabilities, were as follows: |

Notes to Financial Statements
6. | Other Matters — The Manager has been conducting an extensive internal review in response to recent developments regarding disruptive or illegal trading practices within the mutual fund industry. The Manager’s review noted one market timing relationship that was in the process of being closed down by the Manager before the first proceedings relating to trading practices within the mutual fund industry were publicly announced in September 2003. Additionally, the Manager identified three other market timing arrangements, all of which had been terminated, the most recent in September 2002. The Manager is confident that any financial impact of these arrangements on any Seligman Fund was minimal. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Attorney General of the State of New York also are reviewing these matters. |
|
|
| In connection with the Manager’s internal review, the Manager has also reviewed its practice of placing some of the Seligman Equity Funds’ orders to buy and sell portfolio securities with brokerage firms in recognition of their sales of Seligman Funds. This is a common practice and permissible when done properly. Although the Manager believes that the execution of all such orders was consistent with its best execution obligations, the Manager may have violated applicable requirements for certain of such orders as a result of compensation arrangements that the Distributor had with certain brokerage firms. The Manager is con-fident that the Seligman Equity Funds did not pay higher brokerage commissions than they would otherwise have paid for comparable transactions. The Manager is also responding to information requests from the SEC relating to the Manager’s use of revenue sharing and fund portfolio brokerage commissions. |
|
|
| The Independent Directors of the Board of the Series have been reviewing, and will continue to review, the foregoing matters. If the Series has incurred financial harm as a result of violations of law or internal policies by the Manager or its personnel, the Manager will make restitution to the Series. |
|
|
7. | Capital Stock Share Transactions — The Board of Directors, at its discretion, may classify any unissued shares of Capital Stock among any Fund of the Series. At December 31, 2003, 4,000,000,000 shares were authorized for the Series, all at a par value of $0.001 per share. Transactions in shares of Capital Stock were as follows: |

The tables below are intended to help you understand the financial performance of each Class of each Fund from its inception. Certain information reflects financial results for a single share of a Class that was held throughout the periods shown. Per share amounts are calculated using average shares outstanding. “Total return” shows the rate that you would have earned (or lost) on an investment in each Class, assuming you reinvested all your dividends and capital gain distributions. Total returns do not reflect any taxes or sales charges and are not annualized for periods of less than one year.

* | Commencement of investment operations. | |
** | The Manager, at its discretion, reimbursed certain expenses and waived management fees for the periods presented. | |
† | In computing the ratios of expenses and net investment income to average net assets, income and expenses other than organization expenses are annualized. Organization expenses are not annualized because they were a one-time expense incurred at the Series’ commencement of investment operations. | |
†† | Commencement of issuance of shares. | |
ø | For the period 1/10/00 to 12/31/00. | |
øø | The total returns shown for each Class of shares from commencement of investment operations/issuance of shares to 12/31/00, are calculated from the later of the respective Fund’s commencement of investment operations date (1/10/00) or the initial issuance date of shares of the Class. The total returns for Class A shares were calculated from the commencement of investment operations date. Class B, C, and D shares of the Fund were offered to the public on the commencement of investment operations date, but were first issued on the respective dates shown in the table. If shares of each Class had been issued on the commencement of investment operations date, the total returns for each Class would have been as follows: |

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Series’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2003, by correspondence with the Series’ custodian and shareholder service agent. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective Funds constituting Seligman Time Horizon/Harvester Series, Inc. as of December 31, 2003, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Capital Gain Distribution — A payment to mutual fund shareholders of profits realized on the sale of securities in a fund’s portfolio.
Capital Appreciation/Depreciation — An increase or decrease in the market value of a mutual fund’s portfolio securities, which is reflected in the net asset value of the fund’s shares. Capital appreciation/depreciation of an individual security is in relation to the original purchase price.
Compounding — The change in the value of an investment as shareholders receive earnings on their investment’s earnings. For example, if $1,000 is invested at a fixed rate of 7% a year, the initial investment is worth $1,070 after one year. If the return is compounded, second year earnings will not be based on the original $1,000, but on the $1,070, which includes the first year’s earnings.
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC) — Depending on the class of shares owned, a fee charged by a mutual fund when shares are sold back to the fund. The CDSC expires after a fixed time period.
Dividend — A payment by a mutual fund, usually derived from the fund’s net investment income (dividends and interest less expenses).
Dividend Yield — A measurement of a fund’s dividend as a percentage of the maximum offering price or net asset value.
Expense Ratio — The cost of doing business for a mutual fund, expressed as a percent of the fund’s net assets.
Investment Objective — The shared investment goal of a fund and its shareholders.
Management Fee — The amount paid by a mutual fund to its investment advisor(s).
Multiple Classes of Shares — Although an individual mutual fund invests in only one portfolio of securities, it may offer investors several purchase options which are “classes” of shares. Multiple classes permit shareholders to choose the fee structure that best meets their needs and goals. Generally, each class will differ in terms of how and when sales charges and certain fees are assessed.
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD) — A self-regulatory body with authority over firms that distribute mutual funds.
Net Asset Value (NAV) Per Share — The market worth of one fund share, obtained by adding a mutual fund’s total assets (securities, cash, and any accrued earnings), subtracting liabilities, and dividing the resulting net assets by the number of shares outstanding.
Offering Price — The price at which a mutual fund’s share can be purchased. The offering price per share is the current net asset value plus any sales charge.

|
Glossary of Financial Terms
Portfolio Turnover — A measure of the trading activity in a mutual fund’s investment portfolio that reflects how often securities are bought and sold.
Prospectus — The legal document describing a mutual fund to all prospective shareholders. It contains information required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), such as a fund’s investment objective and policies, services, investment restrictions, how shares are bought and sold, fund fees and other charges, and the fund’s finan-cial highlights.
SEC Yield — SEC Yield refers to the net income earned by a fund during a recent 30-day period. This income is annualized and then divided by the maximum offering price per share on the last day of the 30-day period. The SEC Yield formula reflects semi-annual compounding.
Securities and Exchange Commission —The primary US federal agency that regulates the registration and distribution of mutual fund shares.
Statement of Additional Information — A document that contains more detailed information about an investment company and that supplements the prospectus. It is available at no charge upon request.
Total Return — A measure of a fund’s performance encompassing all elements of return. Reflects the change in share price over a given period and assumes all distributions are taken in additional fund shares. The Average Annual Total Return represents the average annual compounded rate of return for the periods presented.
Wash Sale — A sale of securities in which a taxpayer has acquired substantially identical securities within a period beginning thirty days before and ending thirty days after the date of the sale (a sixty-one day period). A loss resulting from such a sale is not currently deductible for federal income tax purposes, but a gain is taxable.
Yield on Securities — For bonds, the current yield is the coupon rate of interest, divided by the purchase price. For stocks, the yield is measured by dividing dividends paid by the market price of the stock.

EXHIBIT ITEM 10 (a)(1)
CODE OF ETHICS
FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL OFFICERS
(Pursuant to Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002)
I. | Covered Officers/Purpose of the Code |
This code of ethics (the “Code”) for each of the registered investment companies managed by J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated (“Seligman”) (collectively, “Funds” and each a “Fund”) applies to each Fund’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (the “Covered Officers” each of whom is set forth in Exhibit A) for the purpose of promoting: |
• | honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; |
• | full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a registrant files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in other public communications made by a Fund; |
• | compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations; |
• | the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and |
• | accountability for adherence to the Code. |
Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest. |
II. | Covered Officers Should Handle Ethically Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest Overview. |
A “conflict of interest” occurs when a Covered Officer’s private interest interferes with the interests of, or his service to, a Fund. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his position with the Fund. |
Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and a Fund and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the |
1
Investment Company Act of 1940 (“Investment Company Act”) and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Investment Advisers Act”). For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with a Fund because of their status as “affiliated persons” of the Fund. The Funds’ and Seligman’s compliance programs and procedures are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code. |
Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between a Fund and Seligman of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for a Fund or for Seligman, or for both), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on Seligman and the Fund. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between a Fund and Seligman and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as Officers of the Fund. Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act, such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this or other codes. |
Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act. The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of a Fund. |
* * *
Each Covered Officer must: |
• | not use his personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by a Fund whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Fund; |
• | not cause a Fund to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit of the Fund; |
• | report at least annually any business affiliations or other business relationships (including those of immediate family members) that have the potential to raise conflicts of interests. |
2
These are some conflicts of interest situations that should not occur unless specifically pre-approved by Seligman’s General Counsel, Associate General Counsel or Director of Compliance: |
• | service as a director on the board of any public or private company; |
• | the receipt of any gifts of significant value or cost from any company with which a Fund has current or prospective business dealings; |
• | the receipt of any entertainment from any company with which a Fund has current or prospective business dealings unless such entertainment is business-related, reasonable in cost, appropriate as to time and place, and not so frequent nor so extensive as to raise any question of impropriety; |
• | any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Fund’s non-public service providers, other than Seligman, Seligman Advisors, Inc., Seligman Services, Inc., Seligman Data Corp. or any affiliated person thereof; |
• | a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by a Fund for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer’s employment, such as compensation or equity ownership. |
III. | Disclosure and Compliance |
• | each Covered Officer should familiarize himself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to a Fund; |
• | each Covered Officer should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about a Fund to others, whether within or outside the Fund, including to the Fund’s directors and auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations; |
• | each Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of a Fund and Seligman with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Fund files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Fund; and |
• | it is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations. |

IV. | Reporting and Accountability |
Each Covered Officer must: |
• | upon adoption of the Code (or thereafter as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), affirm in writing to the Board that he has received, read, and understands the Code; |
• | annually thereafter affirm to the Board that he has complied with the requirements of the Code; |
• | not retaliate against any other Covered Officer or any employee of the Funds or their affiliated persons for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith; and |
• | notify Seligman’s General Counsel, Associate General Counsel or Director of Compliance promptly if he knows of any violation of this Code. Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code. |
Seligman’s General Counsel (or his designee) is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation.1 However, any approvals or waivers2 granted to the Covered Officer will be promptly reported to the Chairman of the appropriate Fund’s Board Operations Committee and reported to the appropriate Fund’s Board at its next regular meeting. |
The following procedures will be followed in investigating and enforcing this Code: |
• | Seligman’s General Counsel (or his designee) will take all appropriate action to investigate any potential violations reported to him; |
• | if, after such investigation, Seligman’s General Counsel believes that no violation has occurred, he is not required to take any further action;. |
• | any matter that the General Counsel believes is a violation will be reported to the appropriate Board; |
• | if the appropriate Board concurs that a violation has occurred, it will consider appropriate action, which may include review of, and appropriate |
__________
1 The General Counsel (or his designee) is authorized to consult, as appropriate, with counsel to the Funds and the Independent Directors, and is encouraged to do so.
2 “Waiver” is defined as “the approval by the registrant of a material departure from a provision of the code of ethics” and “implicit waiver,” which must also be disclosed, is defined as “the registrant’s failure to take action within a reasonable period of time regarding a material departure from a provision of the code of ethics that has been made known to an executive officer” of the registrant.

modifications to, applicable policies and procedures; notification to appropriate personnel of Seligman or its board; or a recommendation to dismiss the Covered Officer; and |
• | any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules. |
V. | Other Policies and Procedures |
This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Funds for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Funds, Seligman, Seligman Advisors, Inc., Seligman Services, Inc., Seligman Data Corp., or other service providers or any of their affiliates govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code. The Funds’, Seligman’s and Seligman Advisors, Inc.‘s and their affiliates’ codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act and any other policies and procedures of such entities are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part of this Code.
VI. | Amendments |
Any amendments to this Code, other than amendments to Exhibit A, must be approved or ratified by a majority vote of the Board of each Fund, including a majority of the independent directors.
VII. | Confidentiality |
All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the appropriate Fund’s Board and its counsel, members of Seligman’s Board of Directors and members of Seligman’s Law and Regulation Department.
VIII. | Internal Use |
This Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Funds and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of any Fund, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.
