INTERPRETATION OF LAW OR REGULATION
(Copies to be sent to all Federal reserve banks)
July 19, 1938.

Mr.

Federal Reserve Bank o f - - - - - '

Dear Mr.
This refers to your letter of June 15, 1958,
inclosing a letter from Mr.
, Assistant
Trust Officer,
Trust Company of
,
,
~--~-' presenting a question which arises in connection with a common trust fund operated by his institution
and which involves an interpretation of the following provisions of section 17(e)(5) of the Board's Regulation F:
"No funds of any trust shall be invested in a participation in a Common Trust
Fund if such investment would result in
such trust having an interest in the Common Trust Fund in excess of 10 per cent of
the value of the assets of the Common Trust
Fund, as determined by the trust investment
committee, or the sum of $25,000, whichever
is less at the time of investment."
The Board is of the opinion that in the si tuati.on
outlined by Mr.
, wherE.: the present value of the units
of participation in a common trust fund which are held by a
trust is $25,000 or more, the regulation does not permit the
investment of additional funds of the trust in the common
trust fund, although the amount of funds of the trust previously invested therein is less than $25,000.




Very truly yours,
(Signed)

L. P. Bethea

L. P. Bethea,
Assistant Secretary.
