My response:
Prudent Man Rule [US]
An investment standard. In some U.S. states, the law requires that a fiduciary, such as a trustee, may invest the fund's money only in a list of securities designated by the state the so-called legal list. In other states, the trustee may invest in a security if it is one that would be bought by a prudent man of discretion and intelligence, who is seeking a reasonable income and preservation of capital.
