Vladymyrska N.I. Features of the investment activity Ukrainian banks.
In this article is investigated some aspects of investment banking. An analysis testifies to the insufficient level of resource base, the ineffective use of bank assets, insignificant fate of securities in the brief-cases of banks, basic part from that is folded by OVDPs. For renewal and development of credit-investment activity of banks of Ukraine in the article is suggested to inculcate at the level of the state measures to the increase of capitalization, increase of assets of banks, forming of long-term investment resources, market of capitals of Ukraine development.
Keywords: credit and investment activities of banks, loan and investment portfolio, investment activities of commercial banks, bonds of internal state loan (OVDP)
At this stage of economy development there is a shortage of credit and investment resources necessary for the functioning and further development of the activities subjects and the economy as a whole.
Review of publications and research on problems of financial and credit support of the development of the national economy suggests that scholars and practitioners do not bypass the problem of low role Bank credit as an investment tool. The main negative aspects of functioning of commercial banks, which preceded the formation of the crisis phenomena in the Ukrainian economy, were associated with their credit activities. Such aspects of credit activity as excessive concentration of credit investments, irrational structure of the loan portfolio, the choice of priorities for lending in favour of the consumer segment of the credit market, insufficient qualitative assessment of credit risks, a significant share of foreign currency loans in the structure of credit investments, largely resulted in negative return for banks of Ukraine.
Consequently, banking institutions in Ukraine has been minimized interaction with the real sector of economy and investment activity in the sphere of lending.
The ability of the Ukrainian banking system to recover the investment and credit investments into the economy, will depend on the success of the country to overcome the production decline, stabilization of GDP and the achievement of macroeconomic stabilization.
Therefore, we believe it is necessary to consider aspects of investment activity of banks in Ukraine, identify acceptable areas for further development of the banking system.
Analysis of recent researches and publications
Separate aspects of investment activity of Ukrainian banks were investigated by such scientists-economists as it were: B Adamic, M. Alexeenko, A. Belous, I. Blank, I. Bratchenko, O. Vovchak, A.

and improvement mechanism of forming the credit -investment portfolio and growth conditions of investment activity commercial banks, including those not defined in the crisis conditions, the main areas that can create the conditions to recreate and expand the investment activities of the banking sector in Ukraine for the country's economic growth.
The aim of the article is to explore the theoretical and methodological foundations of the essence Bank credit and investment portfolio, the study dynamics of the portfolio and the structure of its formation, including study of the structure and the types of securities in the credit - investment portfolio banks. To ensure the stable functioning of Ukrainian banks should identify the basic conditions needed to support lending and investment activities of banks and development Ukraine economy. The main part
In considering issues banks investment activity is paramount importance to the elucidation essence of the indicated concepts. In modern scientific literature there is no uniform approach regarding the content this activity of domestic banks. It is also worth noting the existence scientists positions, some of which involve consideration of the credit and investment banks activity as holistic concepts, others share credit and investment banks as separate components.
Examining credit and investment activities of banks as a set of two related but independent trends, discussion is the question of the primacy and, consequently, the relevance of the concepts mentioned in the research N. Vlasenko [1].
In our opinion, the connection between the noted components close, but in the realities of Ukrainian economy, the investment activity of banks is not less important but is less developed in comparison with similar activities of the European and American banks.
Investment activity of banks is essential to the economy of the country as a whole and for the banking institutions. The value of investment activity of banks to the economy is that banks, accumulating financial resources of enterprises and population, involving foreign banks, channeled funds to the most efficient economic activities, stimulating the development of the real sector, ensuring the formation of the GDP growth of the country. From the position of individual banks, such activities are conducted for the purpose of obtaining income from transactions with securities from operations long-term funding for
key economic projects, to ensure the Bank's participation in authorized capital of other enterprises and strategic control over their property and activities.
Bank investments are made mainly in the form of loans and investments in securities, financial instruments investment professionals are divided into credit and stock investment tools.
To credit investment instruments owned long-term investment loans, lease financing, project financing, mortgage loans, etc.
In stock investment tools include investing in securities, including bonds of internal state loan, municipal bonds, securities funds, companies on assets management (AMC), equities, corporate bonds, savings certificates, etc.
It should be noted that such credit instrument for investment, as project financing has become for the economy of Ukraine, the decisive and the most sought after at this stage of economic development. Project financing allows you to Finance large amounts of investments, which amount to millions of dollars, and allocate risk between the project proponents (investors) and banks to an acceptable level and to implement the creation of new industrial and infrastructure projects in key sectors of the economy.
Stable functioning and further development of the Ukraine banking system largely depend on the formation volume of Bank resources, as this determines their ability to perform active banking operations, including lending and investment, and generate profits from the main activity.
Let us analyze the dynamics of the resource base of the banking system of Ukraine for the period 20102014 (table 1).
These data allow to conclude that during the analyzed period, the banking system of Ukraine have been increasing its resource base. The total increase in resources for 2010-2014 was 374 764 million UAH Important in our view is that the growth of the resource base Ukrainian banks has largely been due to the increase in liabilities (in the amount of 364 466 million UAH). Own capital of the banks increased by 10 298 million UAH, which is a positive trend. The funds of natural persons grew at a faster pace (to 145 638 million UAH), than legal (to 117 334 million UAH).
Accumulation of resources is performed by banks for the purpose of investing these funds in assets that include the loan and investment activity of banking system of Ukraine.

Analyze the structure and dynamics of the credit and investment portfolio of Ukrainian banks in 20102014, millions.
Analyzing the data for the period 2010-2014 can be argued that the credit-investment portfolio of banks grew by 271 825 million or 129,90%. It should be noted that a significant portion of the portfolio grew due to increase of loans volumes, which were previously provided in a currency that is associated with the growth of the hryvnya against the dollar. Characteristic is the reduction of interbank credits in 2014 at 4967 million UAH or 1,68%. Also in the structure of granted loans decreased credits that were granted to individuals at 54765 million UAH in absolute terms, and 12,54% in relative. This situation is caused by more stringent requirements that banks impose when lending due to the unstable economic situation and the non-paying capacity of the population. During the analyzed period there was an increase of loans on 169021 million UAH, however, their share in the loan portfolio decreased by 3,35%.
If we consider the financial results of banks in the country, it can be argued that it was unprofitable, despite the diversification of credit and investment portfolio of the banks in the direction of placement of funds in valuable securities. For 2014 losses of the banking sector was 53,0 billion UAH (2013 profit of 1.4 billion UAH). A negative financial result of activity of banks was mainly formed by banks of the first group, which financed large-scale projects and has incurred significant losses from the occupation Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the situation in the East of Ukraine [2].
Constant growth of investments into valuable security that eventually led to their growth in the amount of 98952 million UAH or 7,38%. It demonstrates the diversification of investment activity of banks aimed at compensation for the loss of profitability from the operations of lending, the profitability on which had a tendency to decrease.
Reserves for active operations increased by 8819 million UAH, however, their share decreased by 2,36%.
To analyze the level of efficiency of use of assets analyze the profitability of assets of the Ukraine banking system.
These data allow to conclude that during 20102012, the use by banks of their assets was ineffective. The negative value of return on assets is explained by the fact that the activities of most banks wore unprofitable character. In 2013, there was improvement and the return on assets amounted to 0,4%, however, the situation worsened again as of 2014 (decrease on 0,3%).
Limited lending opportunities (via the significant risks of the real sector) prompted banks to increase investment in valuable securities, the volume of which increased by 22,2% (to UAH 30,6 billion.) to 168,9 billion UAH. Amid the modest lending funds on correspondent accounts opened in other banks, increased during the year by 27,7% to 99,8 billion UAH [2].
Although investing in valuable securities in terms of importance and size ranks second among active Bank's operations after lending. Let us analyze the dynamics of the securities portfolio in the banking system of Ukraine (Fig. 1).

During the analyzed period, the banking system of Ukraine has steadily increased its portfolio of valuable securities. The total increase for 2010-2014 was 77 236 827 thousand UAH.
Analyzing the credit-investment portfolio of Ukrainian banks it is necessary to consider the dynamics of the relative share valuable security in the credit-investment portfolio of Ukrainian banks (Fig. 2).
Despite the fact that the relative share of valuable securities in the portfolio of Ukrainian banks is not significant (from 8% to 12%), definitely positive is the tendency towards a gradual increase in mainly due to the growth of the portfolio of securities for sale and trading portfolio.

Analyzing the credit-investment portfolio of Ukrainian banks, it is necessary to consider the dynamics of the relative share of securities in the credit-investment portfolio of Ukrainian banks.
For analysis of the formation of the valuable securities in the credit-investment portfolio of banks, will consider the valuable structure and dynamics of
the securities portfolio of the banking system of Ukraine for the period 2010-2014 (table 4).
Trading securities, whose share in the securities portfolio of banks increased during the period 20102014 with 8.94% to 12,48% and in 2012 was the highest (18,13%), mostly represented by bonds of internal state loan (government bonds) of Ukraine.

Priority problems of industrial sectors' economic
Securities for sale are shares and bonds of companies. They have the largest share in the securities portfolio, which amounted in 2010 72,67%, increased gradually until 2013, the value of which was the largest in the analyzed period and amounted to 87,9%, and decreased slightly in 2014 to a level 82,48%.
The share of securities in the portfolio to maturity is of small proportion, which has varied from 16,45% in 2010 to 3,79% in 2014. That is, there have been significant changes the decrease in the share of Bank securities to maturity, which indicates the slow banks from the issue of such securities as bonds.
Investments in associates and subsidiaries hesitated from 1,27% to 2,41%, the lowest level
Another factor active investments in government bonds are unfavorable conditions for lending to reliable borrowers, the number of which in Ukraine is limited, so banks are forced to adjust their liquidity through government bonds.
Important in our view is that the vast majority of domestic government loan bonds - about 70% - is held by the NBU, and only 20% owned commercial banks.
Further, in the stabilization of the economy, a promising direction for commercial banks have become full-fledged investment activity on the securities market: direct activities of banks as investors and service activities of the investment process.
Conclusions
Investment activity of banks in Ukraine includes first of all the Bank's activities as an investor, and secondly as a mediator, which invests according to customer orders.
It should be noted that the activities of the Bank as the investor is in the exercise of its own investment to achieve certain investment objectives. The funds mainly invested in the acquisition of securities for sale and to maturity, acquisition of subsidiaries and associates companies and acquisition of investment property. But this activity of banks in Ukraine is much inferior from the profitability compared to
inherent 2014. This level indicator may indicate reduced activity of the banks when investing in associated company with the banks, that can serve as an indicator of investment activity and business expansion.
Government bonds by banks are contained in the portfolios of securities, as they are less risky compared to corporate securities. It can be argued about a significant increase in volumes of government bonds over the period (2010-2014), which was 3,3 times. Significant growth occurred in 2014 compared with 2013, the increase amounted to 209 949 million UAH [1]). Banks use government bonds to obtain financing from the NBU under the collateral.
lending point of view. The activities of banks which act as intermediaries in stock market securities includes underwriting, brokerage, dealer and trust business can make the largest banks in Ukraine, mainly with foreign capital.
Thus, to ensure further increase of investment activity of banks, it is expedient to create the conditions to support credit and investment activity of banks and development of economy of Ukraine, as follows:
— increase of banks capitalization
— asset growth of banks
— the growth of long-term investment resources
— development of the capital market.
Well as the necessary conditions at this stage of development of the banking system should be:
— application to banks that undertake long-term investment lending, concessional (reduced) of reserve requirements and preferential tax treatment of income from these transactions;
— introduction of state compensation (partially) interest rates on loans directed to priority sectors of the economy, and predictions of the amounts of reimbursement in the State budget;
— use of long-term refinancing by the National Bank of Ukraine banks, which realizes long term investment loans [4].
