The Investment Company Act enables the Commission to sue in the courts to prevent gross abuse of trust and gross misconduct and grossly unfair plans of reorganization of investment companies. It makes embezzlement of investment company funds a federal offense, and prevents investment bankers and other affiliated persons from using their investment companies to assist them in underwriting activities. The act also provides that an investment company may maintain its portfolio securities and other property in its own custody or in the custody of brokers, subject, however, to compliance with the Commission's regulations. Otherwise, portfolio securities must be maintained in the custody of a bank, which is the usual practice. The act also provides for bonding of employees having access to the company's assets.
