German to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Finance (general)
German term or phrase: Ansagegeschäft
I'm working on an audit report in the context of the MaRisk minimum requirements for risk management, and one of the terms that keeps cropping up is Ansagegeschäft(e).

LEO has:

Trade effected by a broker for his own account with the counterparty to be named at a later date

Otherwise there is very little to be found, google only has 70 hits in total - the LEO explanation absolutely explains what this is, but my problem is that I need a concise term to fit in a table header, and would prefer to avoid having to add an explanatory footnote or distorting the table cell. Does anyone have any suggestions, preferably backed by some kind of reference or personal experience?

Thanks for the groupthink assist!
