German term or phrase: Bestandsvolumen zu Anschaffungswerten
"Mit einem Neugeschäftsvolumen 2007 von EUR xxx und einem verwalteten Investitionsvolumen von EUR xxx (Bestandsvolumen zu Anschaffungswerten) gehören wir zu den leistungsstärksten und erfolgreichsten Unternehmen in der Branche."

Ich weiß nicht so recht, wie ich "Bestandsvolumen zu Anschaffungswerten" übertragen soll, speziell das Wörtchen "zu" macht mir Kopfzerbrechen...

Danke vielmals im Voraus,

Antje

portfolio value at cost
Explanation:
portfolio volume would work but they are really talking about value here. Anschaffungswert is simply "cost" in English. Accounting English makes no distinction between Anschaffungskosten (same as A-wert here) and Herstellungskosten.

portfolio volume at acquisition/initial value


Explanation:
Would be a literal translation - the "zu" is definitely "at" in this context.
