In managing those investments and associated assets through procedures and subject to restrictions that the bank considers appropriate, the bank may acquire, exchange, sell, supervise, manage, or retain any kind of investment or associated assets 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 then prevailing pertinent to each investment or associated asset. The bank may recover its reasonable and necessary costs incurred in the management of the portfolio, including costs incurred in the retaining of professional or technical advisors, from the earnings on the investments in the portfolio. (c) On completion of the winding up process under Subsection (b), the bank shall deposit any remaining investment earnings to the credit of the Texas economic development bank fund, as required under Sections 489.211 and 489.212. (d) The bank has any power necessary to accomplish the purposes of this section. Tex. Gov't. Code § 489.221
