Abstract:
The study touches upon the concept of «investor» and «investment» and their relationship with the forms of implementation of investment activities, on the one hand, and some forms of capital investment (companies, partnerships, silent unions, etc.), legalized under the laws of Japan such «Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Act» (Act No. 228 of December 1, 1949), «Companies Act» (Act No. 86 of 2005), «Limited Partnership Act for Investment» (Act No. 90 of 1998), «Limited Liability Partnership Act» (Act No. 40 of 2005), Civil Code (Act No. 89 of 1896 as amended in 2005) and Commercial Code (Act No. 48 of 1899 as amended in 1990). Their legal analysis in the context of investment activity is carried out. Special attention is paid to the legal regime of their activities, their specificity is emphasized. The study is based on such methods of scientific knowledge as: general scientific dialectical, historical and of a comparative legal analysis. The author proceeds from the subjective-objective predetermination of processes and phenomena of the surrounding world. The novelty of the study consists in the consideration of forms of investment in Japan in the light of the concept of «investor» and «investment». As a result of the study the author came to the conclusion that Japanese legislation provides foreign investors with a wide range of legal and organizational opportunities for capital investment, starting from individuals-investors, and ending with both legal (companies) and non-legal (contractual - partnerships - Investment LP, etc.) legal forms of capital investment activities.
