Article 7
1. Investments of the amounts held in the Fund shall be geographically diversified, taking into account the structure and composition of any expenditure of the Fund estimated in Part II of the Board's budget pursuant to Article 60 of Regulation (EU) No 806/2014. 2. The exposures to eligible assets specified in Article 4 from issuers established in a given participating Member State, as a share of the total exposures of the Fund, shall not represent more than 1,2 times the share of ex ante contributions raised in accordance with Article 70 of Regulation (EU) No 806/2014 from the institutions authorised in the corresponding Member State. 3. The exposures to eligible assets specified in Article 4 from issuers established in a given non-participating Member State or in a given third country, expressed as a share of the total exposures of the Fund, shall be sufficiently geographically diversified, taking into account criteria such as the size of the economy, the depth and liquidity of the financial market and the additional investment opportunities, including in terms of risk diversification. That exposure shall not exceed in any case the highest limit established by paragraph 2.
