Each banking institution exercising investment discretion with respect to an account must adopt and follow written policies and procedures intended to ensure that its brokerage placement practices comply with all applicable laws and regulations. Among other relevant matters, the written policies and procedures should address when appropriate:
1. The selection of persons to effect securities transactions and the evaluation of the reasonableness of any brokerage commissions paid to such persons.
2. The acquisition of any services or products, including research services, in return for brokerage commissions.
3. The allocation of research or other services among accounts, including those which did not generate commissions to pay for the research or other services.
4. The need, in appropriate instances, to make disclosures concerning the policies and procedures to prospective and existing customers.
