§2127.  Standard of care in investing and management

Unless the trust instrument provides otherwise, a trustee shall invest and manage trust property as a prudent investor.  In satisfying this standard, the trustee shall consider the purposes, terms, distribution requirements, and other circumstances of the trust.  A trustee's investment and management decisions are to be evaluated in the context of the trust property as a whole and as part of an overall investment strategy having risk and return objectives reasonably suited to the trust.  In investing within the limitations of the foregoing standard, a trustee is authorized to retain and acquire every kind of property.

Acts 1986, No. 178, §1; Acts 1991, No. 665, §2; Acts 2001, No. 520, §1.
