A statutory trust shall have the power to sue and be sued in its own name. In furtherance of the foregoing, a statutory trust may be sued for debts and other obligations or liabilities contracted or incurred by the trustees, or by the duly authorized agents of such trustees, in the performance of their respective duties under the governing instrument of the statutory trust, and for any damages to persons or property resulting from the negligence of such trustees or agents acting in the performance of such respective duties. The property of a statutory trust shall be subject to attachment and execution as if it were a domestic corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, in the event that the governing instrument of a statutory trust, including a statutory trust which is a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, 15 USC Sections 80a-1 et seq., creates one or more series as provided in subdivision (2) of subsection (b) of section 34-517 and (1) separate and distinct records are maintained for any such series and the assets associated with any such series are held and accounted for separately from the assets of the statutory trust, or any other series thereof, (2) the governing instrument so provides, and (3) notice of the limitation on liabilities of series as referenced in this sentence is set forth in the certificate of trust of the statutory trust, then the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular series shall be enforceable against the assets of such series only and not against the assets of the statutory trust generally.
