This appears in document about an investment fund formed as a limited partnership, with limited and general partners. How do we translate "Parts de Commanditaires" in this context? Limited partner shares/units/interests?

English translation:Limited Partners' Shares ; investment fund > Limited Partnership Units
Explanation:
Note - in the first web ref. - how the German equivalent of a general partner has been reversed in Spanish into a limited partner.

The UK Limited Partnerships Act 1907 refers to shares and Partnership Act 1890 asd as well as the LLP Acts of various countries refer to the 'capital contributions' of the partners.

Limited/Silent Partners' shares


Explanation:
Un commanditaire (financier) est simplement un associé apportant des fonds. En d'autres termes, il s'agit d'un bailleur de fonds, et en anglais l'on parle généralement de Limited Partner, également connu sous l'appellation de Silent Partner.
