«The purpose of the conference – to help investors understand the structure of the investment risks and how to minimize them, to introduce managers and owners of companies with the best practices in the field of investment, understand the features of the current legislation relating to investment,” – said the Chairman of the Board of Directors ” , Gradient Alpha Investments Group “Paul Gagarin.

Chairman “Gradient Alpha Investments Group” Paul Gagarin said that right now, when there is a legal and administrative chaos, and there are no international standards – quite favorable time to invest. “Faced with a variety of risks, negative moments, bureaucratic barriers and imperfect legislation have everywhere. Minimize risk and avoid obstacles without breaking the law, it is realistic. This requires more time and effort, but they are justified. If today is not you dare, then tomorrow it will make enterprising competitors that the day after tomorrow will be much more successful than you “- said the expert.

The conference «East + West = Invest» hosted three roundtables, which focused on investing in the most attractive for Russian and foreign capital industry: innovative technologies in the construction and real estate, agriculture and consumer market. < / p>

According to Chairman of the Committee on Investment of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation Anton Danilov-Danilyan, the principal terms of private investments in innovation are the rejection of accounting approach in favor of financial planning, strict adherence to a “roadmap” for the implementation of the first decrees of Vladimir Putin with an annual public report on the KPI, the creation of a strong financial motivation municipalities struggle with regional favoritism, sequential de-monopolization, property rights and contract law.

Point of view on the development of innovative technologies in Russia, Jean-Louis Tryuelya confirmed the position of Anton Danilov-Danilyan. According to the Managing Director of International Business Development, an environment for innovation in Russia the acceptable, the number of employees engaged in R & D is growing, R & D expenditures in GDP, though lower than in Europe, but rather significant and the political will to develop Innovation is. But the return in the form of innovation is much lower than it could be. The reasons seem to, again in corruption, lack of organization of the work and lack of motivation in the development of innovations for the officials.

Investing in real estate and construction is no less important. As reported by Valery Mozganova, host of “Real Estate” radio station “Business FM», this activity tied to 42% of the Russian economy. Valery noted the increasing influence of the state and state institutions in these markets. Another trend in the real estate market – is the need for developers and investors to work in a “legislative gallop” when the number of new laws and amendments to laws dozens. Constantly changing the “rules of the game” may favorably affect the investment activity. “The new version of the Civil Code in the near future, if not overturn on its head that reality, in which the real estate market does today, then just deploy it by 90 degrees” – predicts Mozganova.

The roundtable “Investing in agriculture and the consumer market,” said that, thanks to government support of agriculture and joint projects in the PPP area of ​​domestic products in the Russian market is growing. As noted by Andrey Danilenko, in some sectors (poultry, pork, sugar), the country almost entirely ceased to depend on imports. FMCG-sector representatives envy the level of state support that farmers receive today.

estimated executive director of the Association of Retail Companies Ilya Belonovskaya consumer market in Russia has not reached even half of its potential. In the near future investments in this sector will only increase their profitability for a long time will not fall, retailers will continue to become stronger on the European scenario. “We need another 20-25 years to reach the average level of saturation distribution networks. Retail chains have 38%, the five largest players take a share is only 10%. For comparison: in Germany’s top five players Retail control nearly 70% of the market “, – concluded Mr. Belonovsky.

Strategic Development Director of ACG “Gradient Alpha” Svetlana Tishchenko spoke about the role of investment in the investment process audit. According to her, full of high-quality investment and audit – the success of the investment project. In this case, the practice shows that 90% of investors and business owners use the information obtained as a result of the investment audit ineffectively. Ms. Tishchenko drew attention to the fact that the investment audit should not be limited due diligence. To consider a broader range of issues that could change the “rules of the game” and the risks involved.
