low risk fund
Explanation:
Reading all of the explanations of the various insurance companies I found that it was often written between inverted commas as 'Stallingsfonds', with the capital letter. I could not find anything by the same or similar name in English, which leads me to believe that this could perhaps be someone's name (Stalling, perhaps the first person to have started thsi fund?) Anywyas, based on all of the explanations given in Dutch it seems to be a "no-risk fund", which is of course not possible. The best option in my opinion is therefore a "low risk fund'.

Thank you, Johan, for your quick help with this challenging question. I still don't know what the "right" answer is (of if there even is one), but I used your suggestion and I haven't received any negative feedback from the client.

agree  FionaT: although I don't think Stalling is a name. It's just a place 'om je geld te stallen', in other words a safe place to 'park' your money.
