Portuguese term or phrase: capital seguro
I am translating a document from Angolan Portuguese to US English. It involves general conditions for insurance coverage. The expression "capital seguro" appears in the following context:

A determinação do capital seguro, ou seja do valor dos bens que constituem o objecto do seguro do presente contrato, tanto a data da celebração deste, como a cada momento da sua vigência é sempre da responsabilidade do segurado e para os casos de seguro de imóveis, mobiliário recheio, mercadorias e de equipamento industrial, deverá corresponder à :


a) Custo de reconstrução;
b) Substituição pelo valor em novo;
c) Preço corrente de aquisição de fabrico;
d)Valor dos materiais transformados e/ou incorporados, acrescido dos custos de fabrico;
e)Custo em novo dos equipamentos


Please let me know the best way to render this in US English. Many thanks in advance for your help!

In Morias Pinho, Dicionário de termos de negócios, "capital segurado" is "insured amount" but the definition seems to be the same here

Asker: Yes, Angolans do speak and write European Portuguese. However, some authorities do refer to "Angolan Portuguese" as a dialect of European Portuguese. Sincerely, Douglas
