In the modern global world, the economies of developed countries exist in conditions of ever-increasing competition. In recent decades, the advantage has been gained by states whose economy is based on modern technologies, the introduction of innovations and the creation of a favorable environment for their emergence.

Venture investment is an important component of the innovation economy, without which it is difficult to imagine the rapid development of new technologies.

Under these conditions, the task of the legal systems of developed countries was to create a legal framework for venture investment, convenient, transparent and understandable for national and international investors.

In Russia, an important stage in the creation of a legal infrastructure for investment was the adoption in 2011 of the Federal Law "On Investment Partnerships", designed to provide the investment community with "contractual organizational and legal forms of collective investment activities that take into account the specifics of the implementation of venture (especially risky) business projects."

The Russian investment partnership is a direct analogue of the American limited partnership (limited partnership).

This article examines the main advantages of an investment partnership over other forms of collective investment activity, as well as analyzes some aspects of the regulation of investment partnerships in Russia and limited partnerships in the United States.
