French term

support d'investissement

French to English Bus/Financial Investment / Securities Presentation of investment products
"Le dépôt de ces actifs représentatifs doit se faire auprès d’un établissement de crédit préalablement agréé par le Commissariat aux Assurances (art. 37 de la Loi modifiée du 6 décembre 1991 sur le secteur des assurances), quels que soient les supports d’investissement du contrat : Fonds Internes dédiés ou collectifs, Fonds en Euros et Fonds Externes."

I don't think 'support' means 'backing' or 'support' here but something closer to 'format.' Can anyone confirm?

Strange... I searched the archive before posting my answer, and couldn't find any references. Perhaps the search facility was not playing ball...

investment vehicle

I would say something like "irrespective of the type of investment vehicle used"...

"Support" is often used to mean a "medium" of some kind, but the appropriate term when talking about investment is "vehicle".

agree rkillings : Or since all the choices are "funds", you could just say "no matter what kind of fund" :-)
