Sec. 7. Sections 1 to 10 of this 2007 Act [128.305 to 128.336] apply to institutional funds existing on or established after the effective date of this 2007 Act [January 1, 2008].

[2007 c.554 §7]
128.316 Definitions for ORS 128.305 to 128.336. As used in ORS 128.305 to 128.336:
128.318 Standard of conduct in managing and investing institutional fund. (1) Subject to the intent of a donor expressed in a gift instrument, an institution, in managing and investing an institutional fund, shall consider the charitable purposes of the institution and the purposes of the institutional fund.
(2) In addition to complying with the duty of loyalty imposed by law other than ORS 128.305 to 128.336, each person responsible for managing and investing an institutional fund shall manage and invest the fund in good faith and with the care an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances.
(3) In managing and investing an institutional fund, an institution:
(a) May incur only costs that are appropriate and reasonable in relation to the assets, the purposes of the institution and the skills available to the institution; and
(b) Shall make a reasonable effort to verify facts relevant to the management and investment of the fund.
(4) An institution may pool two or more institutional funds for purposes of management and investment.
(5) Except as otherwise provided by a gift instrument, the following rules apply:
(a) In managing and investing an institutional fund, the following factors, if relevant, must be considered:
(b) Management and investment decisions about an individual asset must be made not in isolation, but instead in the context of the institutional fund’s portfolio of investments as a whole and as a part of an overall investment strategy having risk and return objectives reasonably suited to the fund and to the institution.
(c) Except as otherwise provided by law other than ORS 128.305 to 128.336, an institution may invest in any kind of property or type of investment consistent with this section.
(d) An institution shall diversify the investments of an institutional fund unless the institution reasonably determines that, because of special circumstances, the purposes of the fund are better served without diversification.
(e) Within a reasonable time after receiving property, an institution shall make and carry out decisions concerning the retention or disposition of the property or to rebalance a portfolio, in order to bring the institutional fund into compliance with the purposes, terms and distribution requirements of the institution as necessary to meet other circumstances of the institution and the requirements of ORS 128.305 to 128.336.
(f) A person that has special skills or expertise, or is selected in reliance upon the person’s representation that the person has special skills or expertise, has a duty to use those skills or that expertise in managing and investing institutional funds. [2007 c.554 §2]
128.322 Appropriation for expenditure or accumulation of endowment fund; rules of construction. (1) Subject to subsection (4) of this section and the intent of a donor expressed in the gift instrument, an institution may appropriate for expenditure or accumulate so much of an endowment fund as the institution determines is prudent for the uses, benefits, purposes and duration for which the endowment fund is established. Unless stated otherwise in the gift instrument, the assets in an endowment fund are donor-restricted assets until appropriated for expenditure by the institution. In making a determination to appropriate or accumulate, the institution shall act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances, and shall consider, if relevant, the following factors:
(2) To limit the authority to appropriate for expenditure or accumulate under subsection (1) of this section, a gift instrument must specifically state the limitation.
(3) Terms in a gift instrument designating a gift as an endowment, or a direction or authorization in the gift instrument to use only “income,” “interest,” “dividends” or “rents, issues or profits,” or “to preserve the principal intact,” or words of similar import:
(a) Create an endowment fund of permanent duration unless other language in the gift instrument limits the duration or purpose of the fund; and
(b) Do not otherwise limit the authority to appropriate for expenditure or accumulate under subsection (1) of this section.
(4) The appropriation for expenditure in any year of an amount greater than seven percent of the fair market value of an endowment fund, calculated on the basis of market values determined at least quarterly and averaged over a period of not less than three years immediately preceding the year in which the appropriation for expenditure was made, creates a rebuttable presumption of imprudence. For an endowment fund in existence for fewer than three years, the fair market value of the endowment fund must be calculated for the period the endowment fund has been in existence. This subsection does not:
(a) Apply to an appropriation for expenditure permitted under law other than ORS 128.305 to 128.336 or by the gift instrument; or
(b) Create a presumption of prudence for an appropriation for expenditure of an amount less than or equal to seven percent of the fair market value of the endowment fund. [2007 c.554 §3]
128.326 Delegation of management and investment functions. (1) Subject to any specific limitation set forth in a gift instrument or in law other than ORS 128.305 to 128.336, 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:
(b) Establishing the scope and terms of the delegation, consistent with the purposes of the institution and the institutional fund; and
(c) Periodically reviewing the agent’s actions in order to monitor the agent’s performance and compliance with the scope and terms of the delegation.
(2) 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.
(3) An institution that complies with subsection (1) of this section is not liable for the decisions or actions of an agent to which the function was delegated.
(4) 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.
(5) An institution may delegate management and investment functions to its committees, officers or employees as authorized by law of this state other than ORS 128.305 to 128.336. [2007 c.554 §4]
128.328 Release or modification of restrictions on management, investment or purpose. (1) If the donor consents in a record, an institution may release or modify, in whole or in part, a restriction contained in a gift instrument on the management, investment or purpose of an institutional fund. A release or modification may not allow a fund to be used for a purpose other than a charitable purpose of the institution.
(2) The court, upon application of an institution, may modify a restriction contained in a gift instrument regarding the management or investment of an institutional fund if the restriction has become impracticable or wasteful, the restriction impairs the management or investment of the fund or, because of circumstances not anticipated by the donor, a modification of a restriction will further the purposes of the fund. The institution shall notify the Attorney General of the application, and the Attorney General must be given an opportunity to be heard. To the extent practicable, any modification must be made in accordance with the donor’s probable intention.
(3) If a particular charitable purpose or a restriction contained in a gift instrument on the use of an institutional fund becomes unlawful, impracticable, impossible to achieve or wasteful, the court, upon application of an institution, may modify the purpose of the fund or the restriction on the use of the fund in a manner consistent with the charitable purposes expressed in the gift instrument. The institution shall notify the Attorney General of the application, and the Attorney General must be given an opportunity to be heard.
(4) If an institution determines that a restriction contained in a gift instrument on the management, investment or purpose of an institutional fund is unlawful, impracticable, impossible to achieve or wasteful, the institution, within 60 days after notification to the Attorney General, may release or modify the restriction, in whole or part, if:
(b) More than 20 years have elapsed since the fund was established; and
(5) The provisions of this section apply to property and other interests given by private donors as a gift to a public body, as defined by ORS 174.109, or to any instrumentality of a public body. This subsection does not limit any other authority that a public body or an instrumentality of a public body may have to release or modify a restriction contained in a gift instrument on the management, investment or purpose of funds. [2007 c.554 §5]
128.332 Reviewing compliance. Compliance with ORS 128.305 to 128.336 is determined in light of the facts and circumstances existing at the time a decision is made or action is taken, and not by hindsight. [2007 c.554 §6]
128.334 Relation to Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act. ORS 128.305 to 128.336 modify, limit and supersede the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, 15 U.S.C. 7001 et seq., but do not modify, limit or supersede 15 U.S.C. 7001(a), or authorize electronic delivery of any of the notices described in 15 U.S.C. 7003(b). [2007 c.554 §8]
128.336 Uniformity of application and construction. In applying and construing ORS 128.305 to 128.336, consideration must be given to the need to promote uniformity of the law with respect to its subject matter among states that enact the Uniform Prudent Management of Institutional Funds Act. [2007 c.554 §9]
