Abstract
The article examines the concept of investment in Russian law from the perspective of investment law theory, existing investment legislation, and law enforcement practice. A comparative analysis of regulatory acts containing various definitions of investment has been conducted, identifying their shortcomings and contradictions. The necessity of unifying the legislative approach to defining investment is substantiated to eliminate legal conflicts and improve the effectiveness of law enforcement. It is concluded that investments should include only objects of civil rights that have a monetary valuation and are subject to investment in entrepreneurial and other activities to generate profit or achieve another beneficial effect.
