French term
Politique de gestion menée
French to English
Bus/Financial
Finance (general)
bonds
This term occurs in a question and answer session about a bond fund. What I really want to know is whether "menée" modifies "politique" or "gestion". The term doesn't occur again other than in the body of the question. Thanks!
context:
Quelle est Politique de gestion menée et les perspectives pour l’année 2005 ?

What has your management policy been
this is one of those French verbs that do not necessarily require translation..structure of French ..

In French, you cannot just say: Quel politique de gestion avez vous eu? Unless it is purely spoken..the verb that goes with une politique is mener une politique..
Le governement Bush a mene une politique de je ne sais quoi
The Bush government has had a blah blah blah policy..
One understands these kinds of structure in French as one\'s level in French gets better...

Quel est la politique de gestion mene? [the interview asks]
yes, it can be present but it seems to me that is a cut...between up to now and the future ....so, stylistically present perfect might be better.

IF it were straight present, the French would read; Quel est votre politque de gestion?
Since the French has the Mene + the year 2004 int he next sentence it implies:
up to now cut the future.,in 2004
on mene une politique in French..in English, you have a policy or use a policy.... get how that works?

This is in the present - what policy is being pursued/followed
I would even say 'What is your present/current management policy', in some cases but here I would be taling liberties since I don't have the rest of the text to be sure.
