Sec. 27. INVESTMENT OF ASSETS. (a) A board of trustees established under this Act shall keep a sufficient amount of cash on hand to make payments as they become due under the retirement system. If a board determines that the fund of its retirement system contains an amount in excess of the amount needed to make payments as they become due, the board may invest any portion of the excess.
(b) In making investments for a retirement system, its board of trustees shall exercise the judgment and care, under the circumstances prevailing at the time of the investment, that persons of ordinary prudence, discretion, and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs, not in speculation but when making a permanent disposition of their funds, considering the probable income from the disposition and the probable safety of their capital.
(c) A board of trustees established under this Act may not invest in the stock or bonds of one corporation more than five percent of the book value of the assets of a fund. A retirement system may not own more than five percent of the voting stock of one corporation.
(d) A board of trustees established under this Act shall adopt formal investment policies that emphasize safety and diversity as well as liquidity for benefit payments. In developing those policies, the board of trustees shall give special consideration to the preferred investment practices of the Government Financial Officers Association.
