Record 1 2011-08-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Investment
DEF

A fund that raises money from small investors through the sale of units and uses the proceeds to invest in a wide portfolio of shares, bonds or other securities.

Record 2 2006-01-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Property Law (common law)
  • Law of Trusts (common law)
  • Special-Language Phraseology
CONT

A trustee must also be alert to changes in the fortunes of the companies represented in the portfolio of the trust estate. It is not expected that he will sell hastily at a sacrifice, since a power to postpone and retain will generally entitle him to hold for an advantageous sale, but such a power has never had the effect of converting non-trustee securities into trustee securities.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droit des biens et de la propriété (common law)
  • Droit des fiducies (common law)
  • Phraséologie des langues de spécialité
CONT

Un fiduciaire doit aussi se montrer attentif aux fortunes changeantes des compagnies représentées dans le portefeuille de la succession qui lui a été confiée. On n'attend pas de lui qu'il vende hâtivement à perte, puisqu'il sera généralement investi d'un pouvoir de différer et de conserver qui lui permettra d'attendre une vente avantageuse; mais un tel pouvoir n'a jamais eu pour effet de convertir des valeurs non fiduciaires en valeurs fiduciaires.
