17:9A-37. Participation in common trust fund
Participation in common trust fund. A. Subject to the limitations of this article, a bank may create and maintain one or more common trust funds, and may, without order or judgment of any court or officer, invest in cash all or any part of the funds of any one or more trust estates in any one or more common trust funds.
B. Where there is a cofiduciary, the bank shall acquire no participation in a common trust fund without the prior written consent of the cofiduciary, who is hereby authorized to give such consent. Such participation shall be withdrawn within three months after the written request of a cofiduciary for such withdrawal.
C. Investment of funds of a trust estate in a common trust fund or funds may be made as provided in this article, notwithstanding that the trust instrument became operative before the effective date of this act, and notwithstanding that the trust instrument, regardless of the date of its effectiveness, does not specifically authorize such an investment; but no investment shall be made in a common trust fund contrary to the express provisions of the trust instrument.
D. No bank shall invest any of its own funds in a common trust fund.
E. Each common trust fund shall be established and maintained in accordance with a written plan, so as to qualify as a common trust fund under federal revenue laws, and, to that end, each bank in establishing and maintaining a common trust fund shall conform with and be subject to the rules and regulations, prevailing from time to time, of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the Comptroller of the Currency pertaining to the collective investment of trust funds by national banks.
