Securities as an investment instrument for the insurance companies: challenges and opportunities

Abstract. The article ascertains that quantitative characteristics of the development of insurance market in Ukraine contradict its qualitative characteristics. The main reason for this is that the insurer’s investment portfolio typically consists of equity securities and that the investment risk is partially reduced by T-bills. A positive evaluation of legislative novelties that regulate the insurance market in Ukraine and that motivate insurance companies to increase the quality of their portfolios has also been given. Additionally, recommendations to implement international investment standards for better insurers’ investment performance and to increase the transparency of securities transactions.
