Ratnikova, D.S. Investments: definition and legal nature

Abstract: Investment relations form a modern and often-used mechanism. At the same time both in legal and economical literature the term “investment” is understood in various ways and there is no clarity as to understanding the nature of this matter. This lack of clarity shows itself in analysis of legislation on investment activities in the Russian Federation, and this, in turn, causes some difficulties in application of law. The author of this article attempts to analyze the term “investments” and its elements in order to study them in detail and formulate the definition of investments
