(undistributable) capital reserve funds


Explanation:
vs. distributable reserve capital.

Restricted equity extrapolated from the Swedish might be too close to the egenkapital part.

Example sentence(s):
  • perating and capital rese rve funds are typically described as, “Monies set aside for use in the event of financial emergency or in the event that there is an interruption of cash flow.”

Explanation:
Could be "Restricted Equity," or but in this context it appears to be "Restricted cash" (or other restricted funds, such as Restricted deposits).
