Bus/Financial - Finance (general) / Securities account statement
French term or phrase: S.C.A.
On a securities statement, the acronym S.C.A. is after the bank name. I know S.A. is Corporation or joint-stock company, and I have seen "societe anonyme agricole", but what is the best translation here??

agree  Germaine: as long as this follows the name of the issuer of the securities (ABC, S.C.A. /ABC, L.P.) and not the name of a "bank".

If it's part of a name, you should not translate it.

Seldom exact equivalents for these things, and in this case no agreement as to the best translation, but based on some web sleuthing and previous Kudoz (see Phil's ref entry), so far you have two options:

Partnership limited by shares

Limited liability partnership
