[Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 25, Volume 1] [Revised as of April 1, 2005] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 25CFR1200] [Page 1212] TITLE 25--INDIANS CHAPTER VII--OFFICE OF THE SPECIAL TRUSTEE FOR AMERICAN INDIANS, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR PART 1200_AMERICAN INDIAN TRUST FUND MANAGEMENT REFORM ACT--Table of Contents Subpart A_General Provisions Sec. 1200.5 What are the advantages and disadvantages of managing trust funds under the options in Sec. 1200.4? Under these other options, the funds remain in Federal trust status and the tribe can exercise a range of control over their management. However, the tribe has fewer investment options than it has when it withdraws its funds completely from trust status. If a tribe chooses to keep its funds in trust status, the tribe is subject to the same statutory investment restrictions that bind us. That means that the tribe's investments are limited to bank deposits and securities guaranteed by the United States. (See 25 U.S.C. 162a for specific statutory investment restrictions.)
