Investing pension assets in concession bonds: monitoring the current situation and areas for improvement

The object of the research is the processes of investment of pension assets in concession bonds. The purpose of the paper: to reveal the current situation, as well as the problems that create difficulties for such investment. The results of the research: the idea that investing non-state pension funds (NPF) and their managing companies (MC) pension assets in long-term infrastructure projects through the purchase of concession bonds provides an opportunity not only to obtain a source of revenue with an acceptable and relatively guaranteed income, which is important to ensure safety and increase the profitability of pension funds, but also to increase investments in the real country’s economy. In conclusion, we propose measures aimed at further improving investment in concession bonds (institutionalization of concession bonds as one of the significant financial instruments; allocation of these bonds to a separate class of corporate securities in the structure of the investment portfolio of NPFs and their МC; formation of standards for investment in concession bonds and infrastructure projects in general, etc.).
