The Commission shall also address: • investment guidelines for the Fund’s assets (risk, liquidity, alignment with EU targets); • selection criteria for Fund's asset manager (internal or via a private or public third party such as the European Investment Bank); • possibility of contributions qualifying for calculation of regulatory capital ratios; • conditions for eventual expansion of the scope of the Fund to include institutions beyond Systemic Banks.deleted
