Power assigned to board members
This is from a list on an agenda item dealing with the granting of power to the board members. This power is being granted to one of the directors:
" di effectuare acquisti o cessioni di crediti, effectuare operazioni in valuta purché strumentali ed utili all’attivita principale della societa;"
This is the exact context and I do not know whether to read these words as adjectives or nouns. Is the last phrase missing a subject pronoun, or am I misreading it?

I think the sentence's not missing anything. In "purché strumentali ed utili", the verb "siano" is implied but that's a common structure in formal Italian.
So the "whole" sentence would be, "operazioni in valuta purché [siano] strumentali ed utili ..." Hope that helps.

Yes, I'd say "beneficial" works perfectly in this context (I like it better than "advantageous" for this sentence).

Note from asker:
| Would you say "advantageous" or "beneficial" works better given the financial use of "utili", or would you say this is irrelevant? |
