(1) borrow money and to charge the whole or any part of its

any property and to maintain and equip it for use;

out the work of the CIO. The CIO may employ or remunerate a
charity trustee only to the extent that it is permitted to do so
by clause 6 (Benefits and payments to charity trustees and
connected persons) and provided it complies with the conditions of
those clauses;
(5) deposit or invest funds, employ a professional fund-manager,
and arrange for the investments or other property of the CIO to be
