German term
nicht rechtsfähiges Sondervermögen
German to English
Bus/Financial
Investment / Securities
protection for investors
Die ... ist als nicht rechtsfähiges Sondervermögen des Bundes bei der Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau errichtet worden
The translation that seems to offer itself is * non legally resonsible fund asset /special asset of the German Government* However, * non-legally responsible* is hardly what one might call confidence inspiring for an entity which is supposed to offering protection for investors! Is there another term?

Comment: "Thanks, Jutta. This seems to be about the nearest one can get - though what the Dickens an independent legal personality means in real terms remains obscure and I think - if it means what I thinks it means - could and should be expressed more clearly both in German and in English. "

nonappropriated funds
this brings to minds a term used by the US military/government.
Nonappropriated funds are something like special funds that have no specific purpose or fewer spending restrictions. As in, they were not appropriated by congress.
The ... was established as a non-appropriated funds account of the Federal government with (administered by??) the Lending Institution for Reconstruction.

Note from asker:
| Thanks, Simon. I also thought of something like - not legally bound or not legally confined to specific aims/purposes etc. but these expressions, in my context, don't seem to make much real sense either. |
