Italian term or phrase: oggetto di investimento
Market Neutral Strategies - Strategie che, mantenendo un'esposizione neutrale ai mercati di riferimento attraverso la combinazione di posizioni lunghe e corte, mirano a ottenere un rendimento indipendentemente dall'andamento dei mercati stessi. Il rendimento dei fondi che attuano tale strategia dipende unicamente dalla capacità del gestore di selezionare gli strumenti finanziari oggetto di investimento e non invece dall'andamento dei mercati finanziari.

Would you translate this expression as "an investment object" or "for investment purposes"?

to select the financial instruments for investment

Explanation:
Bolton is right about the all purpose word "oggetto di", this is why I would not endow it with more than a preposition. You might want to insert "right" financial instruments
