afdeling

After reading the discussion, it becomes apparent that "kapitalforening" is mutual fund company, and "afdeling" is mutual fund.

Chris S, your contribution was the most helpful and the translation I am going with. If it was an answer I would be awarding my points to you. Thank you.

Afdeling is simply what the Danish call a fund. Kapitalforening is harder to deal with - they like to call it capital association of course but all it is is an investment company.

(Unfortunately it was difficult for me to find an appropriate reference on Google. This is because "portfolio" is also used to describe a set of investments in mutual funds.)

I could perhaps use 'capital portfolio' for 'kapitalforening' and 'fund' for afdeling'? It would at least make sense throughout the text but I am not sure if there is a definitive correct term for each?

Here is another piece of context which actually has 'forening' and 'afdeling' together:
'Målet med foreningens afdeling, som følger en aktiv
investeringsstrategi, er at opnå et afkast, der følger
afdelings afkastmål, som findes på hjemmesiden.'

Any help appreciated.

No, it cannot be office in this context.
Here is another section of text for context:
'Ønsker investor f.eks. en meget stabil udvikling i sine
beviser, bør man som udgangspunkt ikke investere i en
afdeling med høj risiko (altså en afdeling, der er markeret
med 6 eller 7 på risikoindikatoren).'
'Fund' fits in each context but then what about 'kapialforening'?

Or "office" even - i.e. the location from which the fund management is carried out.
That is my immediate response but maybe this is one of those cases where more context is needed.
