Abstract
The article discusses the most important issues of forming the investment relations in the capital markets. It defines the subjects of those markets, which does not seem possible to do without clarifying the investment relations concept. There is an overview of foreign approaches to the definition of “Investor relations”. To substantiate the need for elaborating relations the authors give an analysis of the investment market development with the involvement of the population and opportunities for investment in the Russian Federation. The necessity for creating the IR-departments of companies as the main communicators with investment markets is also substantiated. The issues of the functionality of the IR departments of companies are considered in detail, the directions of their activities and the requirements for the personnel of those departments are defined.
