Bus/Financial - Investment / Securities / UCITS
French term or phrase: tête
No context I'm afraid other than under 'Caractéristiques de l'OPCVM' the document states:
Structure de l'OPCVM - ni tête ni compartiment.

I understand that a 'compartiment' is a sub-fund but what is the correct term for 'tête' in this context?

I wonder if this is not just two ways of addressing the same thing. Linguee also suggest "Fonds Master"which is used by Bnp Paribas

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks very much but below the document states 'ni maître ni nourricier' so they are using the term 'maître' for 'master'


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Dominique Stiver: I don't see any other solution. There are some confirmations for the designations proposed... Master funds offer the possibility of accumulating high capital volume into one master fund, which consists of several segments (sub funds)

Explanation:
