DELEGATION OF MANAGEMENT AND INVESTMENT FUNCTIONS.
(a)  Subject to any specific limitation set forth in a gift
instrument or in law other than the Uniform Prudent Management of
Institutional Funds Act, an institution may delegate to an external
agent the management and investment of an institutional fund to the
extent that an institution could prudently delegate under the
circumstances.  An institution shall act in good faith, with the
care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would
exercise under similar circumstances, in:
(1)  Selecting an agent;
(2)  Establishing the scope and terms of the delegation,
consistent with the purposes of the institution and the
institutional fund; and
(3)  Periodically reviewing the agent’s actions in order to
monitor the agent’s performance and compliance with the scope and
terms of the delegation.
(b)  In performing a delegated function, an agent owes a duty to
the institution to exercise reasonable care to comply with the scope
and terms of the delegation.
(c)  An institution that complies with subsection (a) of this
section is not liable for the decisions or actions of an agent to
which the function was delegated.
(d)  By accepting delegation of a management or investment
function from an institution that is subject to the laws of this
state, an agent submits to the jurisdiction of the courts of this

state in all proceedings arising from or related to the delegation
or the performance of the delegated function.
(e)  An institution may delegate management and investment
functions to its committees, officers, or employees as authorized by
law of this state other than the Uniform Prudent Management of
Institutional Funds Act.
