§3228.  Fiscal affairs of the fund; investment

The board of trustees may at any time, after considering the probable current demands upon such fund, determine what portion of said fund may be safely withdrawn from the current cash account for investment for revenue purposes, and having so determined, invest the same in the manner hereinafter authorized, and all proceedings of the board of trustees relating thereto shall be entered upon its records.  Investment shall be made with exercise of that judgment and care under circumstances then prevailing which men of prudence, discretion, and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of their capital, as well as the probable income to be derived.  In no case shall more than twenty percent of the total investments of the system assets consist of any stock, including common or preferred, or corporate shares of any kind.  All income from such investment shall be and become a part of said Firemen's Pension and Relief Fund.  All such securities or instruments of investment shall be deposited with the secretary-treasurer of the board of trustees and the receipt therefor filed in the record books.
