A Capital Allocation Limit designates a maximum amount of financial resources an entity can commit to a specific investment or asset class. This constraint is typically imposed to manage risk exposure and maintain financial stability. It functions as a prudential measure, preventing excessive concentration in volatile or speculative holdings. Such limits are essential for sound financial governance.
