(1) A trust company administering a collective investment fund shall at least once during each period of 12 months prepare a financial report of the fund which shall be filed with the director of the department of financial institutions within 90 days after the end of the fund's fiscal year. This report, based upon the above audit, shall contain a list of investments in the fund showing the cost and current market value of each investment; a statement for the period since the previous report showing purchases, with cost; sales, with profit or loss and any other investment changes; income and disbursements; and an appropriate notation as to any investments in default.
(2) The financial report may include a description of the fund's value on previous dates, as well as its income and disbursements during previous accounting periods. No predictions or representations as to future results may be made. In addition, as to funds described in WAC
208-536-040, neither the report nor any other publication of the trust company shall make reference to the performance of funds other than those administered by the trust company.
(3) A copy of the financial report shall be furnished, or notice shall be given that a copy of such report is available and will be furnished without charge upon request, to each person to whom a regular periodic accounting would ordinarily be rendered with respect to each participating account. A copy of such financial report may be furnished to prospective customers. The cost of printing and distribution of these reports will be borne by the trust company. In addition, a copy of the report shall be furnished upon request to any person for a reasonable charge. The fact of the availability of the report for any fund described in WAC
208-536-040 may be given publicity solely in connection with the promotion of the fiduciary services of the trust company.
(4) Except as herein provided, the trust company shall not advertise or publicize its collective investment fund(s); provided, however, that publication in a newspaper, periodical, or other medium of the net asset value of collective investment fund(s) for which a daily net asset value is available, shall not be considered an advertisement or publication prohibited by this section. Restraint is required in fiduciary advertisements to preclude the violation of securities laws including the Mutual Fund Reform Act.
