German term or phrase: vermögensfähig
In an offering prospectus for a bond issue, about the issuer: Die Gesellschaft bezweckt auf dem Gebiet der Bundesrepublik Deutschland Erwerb, Finanzierung, Verwaltung und Veräußerung von hochwertigen Immobilien und Immobilienanteilen; von Beteiligungen an vermögensfähigen Immobiliengesellschaften, ... Of course, rechtsfähig means having legal capacity; might this mean the company has the capacity to own property? I appreciate your responses.

capable of owning property
Explanation:
Die Rechtsfähigkeit der juristischen Person kann sich selbstredend nur auf dem Gebiete des Vermögensrechts, nicht auf dem eine wirkliche Person voraussetzenden Familienrecht geltend machen. Sie kann Eigentum, Besitz haben, die Trägerin von Forderungen und Schulden sein, sie ist also vermögensfähig.

The big idea of company law is the separate personality of the company as an artificial person. The separate artificial person is capable of owning property, being a party to contracts, and being a claimant or defendant in legal proceedings.

An agreement between an employer and a works council (Betriebsrat), providing that in the event of a breach of co-determination rights the employer is required to pay a contractual penalty to the works council, has been held invalid because a works council is, in principle, not capable of owning personal property (vermögensfähig).

Or maybe: capable of owning property and assets

The limited liability company ("LLC") is considered a separate legal entity that is capable of owning property and assets. However, since a LLC is made up of people, usually managers are appointed to act in the interests of the company. If managers are not appointed, any partner is capable of acting on the LLC's behalf, though they may only act in the interests of the company and not for themselves.
