français term

"fonds d'investissement à vocation générale"

français vers anglais Affaires / Finance Finance (général) investment and risk-allocation rules
The document is the internal document of a French bank, describing, commenting and interpreting the rules for asset allocation and risk allocation of investments in what I have for the time being loosely termed "a general-purpose investment fund"

The general headings of the document are:

"Fonds d'investissement à vocation generale (FIVG)
Règles de composition de l'actif et règles de division des risques"

Could these be "non-coordinated general [or general-purpose] UCITS"?
The objection to this is that these FIVG vehicles are distinguished from UCITS in the text:

"Le niveau de la protection garantie aux porteurs est équivalent à celui prévu pour les porteurs d'OPCVM (et non FIVG)."

I shall also be submitting a separate query for FPVG.

I should state the for neither of these items, I have found no cogent hits in Google, AltaVista, Linguee, Reverso, WordReference, or even, for that matter, IATE or the AMF website.

I shall be interested to receive your comments, and grateful for your help.

With kind regards,

Adam Warren (IanDhu - 41189)

I think this may be a case where you leave it in French and put a translation in brackets if necessary.

Or General Purpose Investment Funds. My source is a Canadian fund for which I work regularly, and both seem to be currently used.
