(e) The trust company shall hold and invest the incentive fund.  The incentive fund may be invested with the state treasury pool and may be pooled with other state assets for purposes of investment.

(g) The trust company may acquire, exchange, sell, supervise, manage, or retain any kind of investment that a prudent investor, exercising reasonable care, skill, and caution, would acquire or retain in light of the purposes, terms, distribution requirements, and other circumstances of the incentive fund then prevailing, taking into consideration the investment of all the assets of the incentive fund rather than a single investment.

(h) The expenses of managing the incentive fund's assets shall be paid from the incentive fund.
