Swedish term or phrase: egetkapitaldel

Egetkapital = (shareholders') equity, of course - but what does the 'del' mean? Is this just for emphasis and doesn't need to be translated or does it mean something in particular?
Advice appreciated.

equity share

Explanation:
My theory: I have seen "eget kapitaldel" (2 words) in Swedish Annual Reports, and it seems to refer to the company's equity share of other funds such as untaxed reserves. I imagine that they are saying that a proportion of untaxed reserves will go to the taxman, and the rest is the company's share (not in the sense of "Aktie", but simply the proportion of untaxed reserves that they can keep and regard as equity capital).

I suppose "equity proportion" might also work.
