It has its own legal personality, with full capacity for the development of its purposes under private law, and its headquarters are in Madrid. The purpose of the Fund is to guarantee deposits in money and in securities or other financial instruments constituted in credit institutions, with a limit of 100,000 euros for deposits in money or, in the case of deposits denominated in another currency, its equivalent applying the corresponding exchange rates, and 100,000 euros for investors who have entrusted securities or other financial instruments to a credit institution. These two guarantees offered by the Fund are different and compatible with each other. In order to fulfill its function of guaranteeing deposits and in defense of the depositors whose funds are guaranteed and of the Deposit Guarantee Fund of Credit Institutions itself, the Fund may adopt measures to support the resolution of a credit institution.
