l'Actif participatif
French to English
Bus/Financial
Finance (general)
I'm translating a text from Luxembourg about the EU Savings Directive and the Rubik agreements. There are a few banking terms that I'm not familiar with, one being l'Actif participatif.
Full sentence:
Cette dichotomie apparaît avec force dans l’hypothèse où nonobstant l’accroissement de la valeur de l’Actif participatif la société affiche un bénéfice négatif.
My translation:
This dichotomy appears strongly assuming, despite the increase in value of the equity assets , the company records negative earnings.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This would be my understanding of this term. 'l'Actif' is often used to mean a company's assets and I can't think that 'participatif' could mean anything else in this context but 'participating'.
Sometimes 'participatif' can mean 'non-voting', but this is usually used in the sense of 'titre participatif' (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titre_participatif) for non-voting securities, but I don't think this would be the meaning of 'participatif' in this sense.

Savings held in the form of equity in a company, i.e., in 'participating' form, have asset value *to the investors who hold them*. From the standpoint of *the company*, that equity is on the other side of the balance sheet from its assets!
