In managing those investments through procedures and subject to restrictions that the trust company considers appropriate, 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 then prevailing pertinent to each investment.  The trust company may recover its reasonable and necessary costs incurred in the management of the portfolio, including costs incurred in the retaining of professional or technical advisors, from the earnings on the investments in the portfolio.(c)  Any realized proceeds or other earnings from the sale of stock or other investments in the state's emerging technology investment portfolio, less the amount permitted to be retained for payment of its costs for managing the portfolio as provided by Subsection (b), shall be remitted by the Texas Treasury Safekeeping Trust Company to the comptroller for deposit in the general revenue fund.(d)  The Texas Treasury Safekeeping Trust Company has any power necessary to accomplish the purposes of this section.(e)  On final liquidation of the state's emerging technology investment portfolio, the Texas Treasury Safekeeping Trust Company shall promptly notify the comptroller of that occurrence.  As soon as practicable after receiving that notice, the comptroller shall verify that the final liquidation has been completed and, if the comptroller so verifies, shall certify to the governor that the final liquidation of the portfolio has been completed.
