Bus/Financial - Finance (general) / scienze bancarie
Italian term or phrase: massa
this is the phrase:
"la banca si impegna a mantenere gli attivi del conto di partecipazione in una massa che rimarrà costantemente distinta dagli attivi di gestione..."
I am trying this:
"the bank agrees to keep the profit of the participation account in one single mass which will remain distinct fom management profit..."
But I think "mass" is wrong.
any suggestions? thanks!

fund /account


Explanation:
In my experience this term is not used with any particular very precise meaning in banking, and can be translated in different ways, total, volume, fund according to the context. Mass however is not used.

"keep the investment account receivables un a fund/an account that is entirely seperate"

agree  Ivana UK: yes, here "massa" means assets, but assets wouldn't work in the context so fund or account is the best way round this.

neutral  Ivana UK: Hi Giovanni - I agree with fund/assets but "mass" does not have the same meaning in English.
