English term or phrase: dry powder
You may not discuss the amount of capital available or expected to be available for investments (including the net asset value of a fund or the amount of “dry powder”).

What is 'Dry Powder'
Dry powder is a slang term referring to marketable securities that are highly liquid and considered cash-like. Dry powder can also refer to cash reserves kept on hand by a company, venture capital firm or person to cover future obligations, purchase assets or make acquisitions. Securities considered to be dry powder could be Treasuries, or other fixed income investments, and can be liquidated on short notice, in order to provide emergency funding or allow an investor to purchase assets.

BREAKING DOWN 'Dry Powder'
In its most basic form, dry powder is a term that refers to the amount of cash reserves or liquid assets available to deploy, when needed. These cash reserves and marketable securities are usually kept on hand to cover future obligations that may or may not be foreseen. Therefore, the term dry powder can be used in situations of personal finance, in the corporate environment, and in venture capital and private equity investing.

For example, having dry powder on hand can provide investors with an advantage over others who may be holding less liquid assets. For example, if a venture capitalist expects IPO markets to sour, he might decide to pull back on new investments and instead keep cash on hand in case he needs to provide additional funding to his current portfolio companies. In this case, the venture capitalist is keeping his existing powder dry.
