Werte

Investment / Securities
Investment fund
I am convinced I have found a growing mistranslation on the Internet, but need confirmation from the experts.
My phrase concerns a type of investment company, and I suspect this phrase refers specifically to the kind found/registered in Liechtenstein, since I find only 9 EN versions on the internet, 2 of which use the term "assets" for "Werte", and 7 using the term "values". As far as I can see, most or all of these refer to Liechtensein "private label" funds. I am convinced it should be "assets".
"ein segmentiertes Investmentunternehmen für *andere Werte* mit erhöhtem Risiko des geschlossenen Typs"
I get either "a segmented investment undertaking for other *values* with increased risk (closed-ended type)" or "other *assets*".
I am sure it should be the latter, but cannot find enough proof. I would like to add the proper term to the KOG.
TIA

securities
As suggested by Ted Wozniak. The context needs to be considered. Here, "Werte" is used as a term for anything that can be traded (i.e. has a value).
The English term is "securities".
The English term is "securities".
Note from asker:
OK, this is also logical. I avoided "securities" because "Wertpapiere" appears all over the doc, and I thought that the EN term would not be the same for "Wertpapiere" and "Werte" in this context, but you have a point. |

German term (edited):
Werte (here)
products
An investment company specializing in sector-specific, unconventional investment products with high-risk exposure (closed-end)[NOT ended]
The idea is high risk/high return. Here, the English 'segmented' suggests the unflattering idea of 'grab-bag'. They probably mean to say that they are active in different investment sectors. These types of investment are usually referred to as 'products', or somewhat disparagingly as 'exotic investment products' (in reality trading vehicles more than 'investments')

Very informative, thanks. You have opened a can of beans for me, because "segmented" appears all over the document... I will have to rethink it. :-) |
