(b) The permanent fund supporting graduate medical education is a special fund in the treasury outside the general revenue fund. The fund is composed of:
(1) money transferred or appropriated to the fund by the legislature;
(2) gifts and grants contributed to the fund; and
(3) the returns received from investment of money in the fund.
(c) The trust company shall administer the fund.

Sections 403.095 and 404.071 , Government Code, do not apply to the fund.
(d) In managing the assets of the fund, through procedures and subject to restrictions the trust company considers appropriate, the trust company may acquire, exchange, sell, supervise, manage, or retain any kind of investment that a prudent investor, exercising reasonable care, skill, and caution, would acquire or retain in light of the purposes, terms, distribution requirements, and other circumstances of the fund then prevailing, taking into consideration the investment of all the assets of the fund rather than a single investment.
