Subject to the approval of the Board the funds of this Class of the Association may be invested by the Managers or by any investment manager or firm of brokers or agents appointed by the Managers.  The Board may from time to time and at any time lay down such guidelines for the investment of the funds of the Association as it shall think fit.

40.2 Investment Media

Such investments may be made by means of the purchase of such stocks, shares, bonds, debentures or other securities or the purchase of such currencies, commodities or other real or personal property, or by means of being deposited in such accounts as the Managers may think fit, or by such other method as the Board may approve.

Unless the Board otherwise decides the funds standing to the credit of all Policy Years and of any reserve or account of this Class, shall be pooled and invested as one fund.

40.4 Gains and Losses

When funds are so pooled any dividends, interest, or accruals of interest and any realised or unrealised investment gains or losses, arising on the pooled funds shall be credited or debited, as the case may be, to the income and expenditure account of the Association in the financial year in which such gains or losses arise.

40.4.1 Any such gains may be used to meet:

40.4.1.1 the claims, expenses, losses and other outgoings (whether incurred, accrued or anticipated) which in the opinion of the Board necessarily and properly fall upon this Class of the Association; or
