English translation:securities
Explanation:
Do be honest, I haven't come across a precise translation for this term, so it depends a bit on the context. For example, I had a translation recently that use "comparto" repeatedly to mean essentially the whole fund, so I generally used "fund" as a translation. In this context, I'd use securities (meaning both stocks and bonds) since it's referring to the individual investments within the fund. You could also use "assets" if that seems to fit better in the overall context.

compartments


Explanation:
According to Codeluppi and EurodicAutom, although I don't like it much and I'm very tempted to suggest "sectors".
What do the others think?

agree  Grey Drane (X): Sectors is better, but is generally used to refer to industries rather than the underlying assets.

"Often in the news, we hear reporters mention the terms "market sectors" and "sector rotation." They may also mention that a certain sector is "hot" or "falling like a rock." If you're just getting started in the stock market, these terms can be very misleading."

sub-funds


Explanation:
From all the questions you've asked I assume your translating Mutual Fund Rules. I've done a few myself and in my documents "compartimenti" meant sub-fund as opposed to the whole "umbrella fund" or "fund of funds" itself. I've also seen "compartment" used by some Swiss funds.
