...Ihrer bei uns liegenden Werte bzw. unterhaltenen Guthaben.
From a Swiss bank letter detailing terms of a credit agreement for secured credit.
I'm not sure which terms to use for 'Werte' and 'Guthaben' - would they be 'values' and 'assets' or 'assets' and 'securities'?
I'm concerned that the word 'values' seem confusing in the translation '...your values held by us' as it could be misinterpreted as moral values.
