     The Authority may procure insurance against any loss in connection with its property in such amounts, and from such insurers, as may be necessary or desirable. The Authority may acquire any instruments the purpose of which is to reduce the risk of loss due to fluctuation in the interest rate or market price of those investments or may enter into any agreements to insure, protect or preserve its investments from any loss (including, without limitation, loss caused by fluctuation in interest rates, markets or in securities) in such amounts and from such insurers, issuers or other parties as the Authority deems appropriate.
