En ningún caso, las reuniones por derecho propio de la Asamblea de Inversionistas podrán celebrarse sin la presencia de la Sociedad Administradora, salvo cuando así lo autorice en forma previa y expresa la Superintendencia Financiera."

ad-hoc meetings


Explanation:
The usual translation is "in its own right", but I don't think that works here. The idea is "of its own volition", ie whenever it wants, and not just when it's required to do so.

disagree  Henry Hinds: "Ad hoc" does not have the meaning of "by its own right"; it means for a specific purpose. Great defence, Phil!

  -> All meetings are held for a specific purpose! They're either required by the statutes (eg AGMs) or ad hoc because they have specific things to discuss.

disagree  jude dabo: Are you sure you know the meaning of ad-hoc ?you have ad-hoc committees only and not ad-hoc meetings

"investors' meeting as required".

Phil is right, "called by the investors" would be necessary for the second sentence.
