In the process of research, we have analzed the market of Institutes of joint investment (IJI) in Ukraine for the
period of the last five years. It has been found that IJI is one of the most promising forms of investment in the national
economy.
IJI operation is a powerful tool for intensifying the investment processes in Ukraine and it promotes the development
of the national stock market, increasing its liquidity and optimizing the processes of securities circulation. IJI creates an
efficient mechanism for the development of the securities market, it plays an important role in a cross-sectoral redistribution
of capital, adds stability to the stock market, stimulates both the national investment process and external investment, contributing
to the expansion of internal borrowing of the state.
From the national investor's point of view, the main advantages of the IJI are: a potentially high profitability as compared
to the traditional ways of capital preservation and increase, lower investment management time consume. The current
domestic joint investment market has every chance to become an active participant in the Ukrainian financial system. The
development of a joint investment market is one of the indirect incentives for the development of the stock market, and this
is a prerequisite for attracting capital into the national economy.
In Ukraine, collective investment institutions are dominant in the number of institutional investors establishments and
their number is constantly increasing. Venture capital funds occupy the largest share, which amounted 88%the at the end of
2016 due to the lack of significant restrictions on the activities of such types of IJI. Recently, there has been a steady increse
in IJI securities emission.
One of the key factors in the distribution of investment funds is the сondition of the stock market. It can be argued that
there is a close link between the functioning of investment funds, their development and the pace of the national stock market
growth.
A high degree of risk is one of the features of the domestic stock market is characterized and it is practically impossible
to predict it. This affects the activities of the IJI which is influenced by a number of objective factors like the stock market
situation, the political situation, the instability of national legislation, the global economic situation, etc.
The IJI stock exchange market is characterized by a lower concentration level than the over-the-counter market and it
has a steady trend to decrese.
In Ukraine, the state of development and formation of Joint Investment Institutes, as well as a mechanisms of state regulation
of their activities, does not meet the needs of the national economy in investment resources. The state of IJI in
Ukraine is primarily related to the environment in which they operate, therefore the prospects for the development of IJI
depend primarily on the recovery of the Ukrainian stock market.
Joint investment market requires active and efficient policy of the state in terms of its development, the formation of
effective mechanisms for state regulation in the field of joint investment, in particular: creating the conditions for effective
accumulation and allocation of free financial resources of households, economic entities and state; ensuring reliable protection
of the rights of investors and other participants in the joint investment market; improvement of the mechanism for disclosure
of information on the activities of asset management companies and IJI; stable functioning of the stock market infrastructure,
etc.
Key words: joint investment institutions, companies with asset management, investment funds, stock market, investment
funds, the structure of the assets of the existing ISI.
