English term or phrase: amortise

Bin gerade etwas unter Zeitdruck. Wie lautet im folgenden Abschnitt die korrekte Übersetzung von "amortised"?

Dividends are recognised as income on the dates that securities are first quoted “ex-dividend”. Interest on debt securities is included as accrued over the period for which securities are held by the Fund. The difference between the redemption value of zero coupon debt securities and their cost of purchase is considered to be income and is ***amortised*** over the period between the purchase date and the maturity date on an effective yield basis.

xxxBrandis: Das Abschreiben erfolgt vor dem Tilgen,Deprciation <> amortization. Zwei Dipl. reichen hierfür, wozu die Abitur und habe bei Wirtschaft und Treuhandwesen einige Jahre gearbeitet. Dort gab so was.

-> Mir fällt dazu nur der Spruch des früheren bayerischen Ministerpräsidenten Franz Josef Strauß ein: "Haben Sie Abitur?" // Damit Du wenigstens soviel Deutsch verstehst, um im Deutschen den Unterschied zwischen Tilgung und Amortisation zu begreifen.
