Section 17-23-6 - Funds awaiting investment or distribution

(a) Funds held by a bank or trust company in a fiduciary capacity that are awaiting investment or distribution shall not be held uninvested or undistributed any longer than is reasonable for the proper management of the ac-count.

(1) Each bank or trust company exercising fiduciary powers shall adopt and follow written policies and procedures intended to provide that a prudent rate of return, available for trust-quality, short-term investments, is obtained upon funds so held, consistent with the requirements of the governing instrument and local law.

(2) These policies and procedures shall take into consideration all relevant factors, including the following:

(A) The anticipated return that could be obtained while the cash remains uninvested or un-distributed;

(B) the cost of investing the funds;

(C) the anticipated need for the funds; and

(D) the costs and operational complexities of implementing and maintaining the investments for the bank or trust company.

(b) Funds held in trust by a bank, including managing agency accounts, awaiting investment or distribution may, unless prohibited by the instrument creating the trust, be deposited in the commercial or savings or other departments of the bank.

(1) If the deposits, per account, exceed current federal deposit insurance corporation (F.D.I.C.) limits, the bank shall first set aside, under control of the trust department, as collateral security, direct obligations of the United States and other obligations fully guaranteed by the United States as to principal and interest, or any other security available for pledging by commercial banks under Kansas state law.

(2) The securities that are deposited or substituted as collateral shall at all times be at least equal in market value to the amount of trust funds deposited, to the extent that the deposit exceeds F.D.I.C. insurance limits.
