Investment of fiduciary funds in syndicate securities.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any financial institution with fiduciary powers may, in its fiduciary capacity, purchase bonds or other securities underwritten or otherwise distributed by the financial institution or by a syndicate that includes the financial institution, or an affiliate of the financial institution, provided that such purchase is made through a licensed securities dealer, is otherwise prudent, and is not prohibited by the instrument governing the fiduciary relationship and that disclosure is made at least annually to those persons entitled to a statement of accounts pursuant to s. 736.0813 indicating that such securities have been or may be purchased. This section applies to purchases of bonds or other securities made at the time of the initial offering of such bonds or securities or at any time after such initial offering.
