An insurer shall not make, sell, or exchange any investment or loan, except as to the policy loans or annuity contract loans of a life insurer, unless the same is authorized or approved by its board of directors or by a committee charged by the board of directors or the by-laws with the duty of making such investment, loan, sale or exchange. The minutes of any such committee shall be recorded and reports thereof shall be submitted to the board of directors for approval or disapproval.
