GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:sous-jacents
English translation:underlyings
Entered by: Nektaria Notaridou

Bus/Financial - Finance (general)
French term or phrase: sous-jacents
En termes de sous-jacents, le Compartiment sera principalement investi dans des Fonds Cibles.
Les stratégies des Fonds Cibles sélectionnés sont basées sur une approche macro-économique qui confère à leurs gestionnaires une grande flexibilité dans la sélection des marchés et des instruments financiers utilisés.

This is the beginning of a new paragraph entitled "Description des stratégies". Is "sous-jacents" modifying an implied noun? Or does it function as a noun itself, in the sense of background? Maybe there is a simple answer staring at me but I can't see it.

Thank you for your help!

Explanation:
The full term is "underlying assets" or "underlying investments", but in practice "underlyings" is frequently used as a standalone noun.
