    I'm pretty sure that is specifically identified in the legislative list of "forbidden" transactions.

    If your the trustee or trustee's representative,i can't see why not.
    The purchase receipt would show no monetary advantage was gained from a reimbursement
    The sole purpose of the safe was to house the assets of the fund and the sole purpose of the purchase of the safe was to house the funds assets,seems to comply.
