The purpose of this research is to investigate the one of the main investment law notions “the object of investment activity”. The category “object of investment activity” is introduced by the Russian legislator for the purposers to determine the range of objects acceptable for investment in relation to a specific type of investment activity (for example, investing in the securities market, foreign investments) and to consolidate the features of the legal regime (investment regime) of such objects. In particular, it is noted that the peculiarity of the investment regime of the object is that it is secondary to the general legal regime, since it represents its special modification. It should be stressed that the object of investment activity is that what the investments are invested in, which in most cases is the same as the most
popular types of objects of civil rights, and in some cases — other objects of legal relations (for example, financial), the list of which may vary depending on the type of investment activity. Thus, when investing in the form of capital investments, the objects of investment activity are buildings, equipment, enterprises, while when investing in the stock market, such objects will be securities, derivative financial instruments, etc. The legal characteristics such objects are: the ability to act as an object of legal relations; the consolidation in legislation as an appropriate object (a formal feature). When regulating a certain type of investment activity, the legislator can determine a specific list of objects, thus establishing their investment regime.
