(2) Such investment company or investment trust takes delivery of such collateral, either directly or through an authorized custodian; and

(3) Such investment company or investment trust is operated so as to provide a constant net asset value or price per share.

(c) The authority granted in this Code section shall be applicable notwithstanding that the corporate fiduciary or an affiliate of the corporate fiduciary provides services to the investment company or investment trust as investment adviser, custodian, transfer agent, registrar, sponsor, distributor, manager, or otherwise and receives compensation for such services.
