          Amends the Trust  and  Trustees  Act.   Provides  that  a
      trustee  may invest or reinvest the trust estate in interests
      in a unit investment trust  (instead  of  investment  trust).
      Provides  that  a  trustee  may  invest or reinvest the trust
      estate in  interests  in  any  investment  fund  exempt  from
      registration.    Provides   that   a  trustee  shall  not  be
      prohibited  from  investing,   reinvesting,   retaining,   or
      exchanging  any  interests  held  by  the trust estate in any
      mutual fund for which the trustee acts as advisor or  manager
      or  in  any  other  role (instead of just advisor or manager)
      solely on the basis that the trustee provides service to  the
      mutual  fund  and  receives  remuneration.   Provides  that a
      trustee  shall  not  be  required  to  reduce  or  waive  its
      compensation for services provided  in  connection  with  the
      administration  of  the  trust  estate  because  the  trustee
      invests,  reinvests,  or retains the trust estate in a mutual
      fund.  Effective immediately.

10    reinvest the trust estate in interests  in  any  open-end  or
11    closed-end   management   type  investment  company  or  unit
12    investment  trust  ("mutual  fund")  registered   under   the
13    Investment  Company Act of 1940 or any investment fund exempt

16    investment  funds  being a "mutual fund" for purposes of this
17    Section, or may retain, sell, or  exchange  those  interests,

22    estate in any  mutual  fund  for  which  the  trustee  or  an
23    affiliate  acts  as  advisor  or manager or in any other role
24    solely on the basis  that  the  trustee  (or  its  affiliate)
25    provides  services to the mutual fund and receives reasonable
26    remuneration for those services. Neither a  trustee  nor  its
27    affiliate   shall   be   required  to  reduce  or  waive  its
28    compensation for services provided  in  connection  with  the
29    investment,  and  management, and administration of the trust

31    trust  estate  in  a  mutual  fund,  so  long  as  the  total
