Investment
An investment will typically mean any type of property or interest held within the territory of the host state. This will often extend far beyond 'obvious' property, such as real estate or shares in a local company, to (depending upon the circumstances) other interests such as rights under a contract, intellectual property rights and private loans. As with the concept of 'investor,' in the modern commercial world what does and does not qualify as investment can be a complex question. The definition of 'investment' will vary between BITs.
