[摘要]目前在我国,一方面是养老保险基金资金投资渠道少,投资多元化程度低,缺少足够的信用风险类产品。另一方面是大学校园中很多莘莘学子,由于家境贫寒,需要通过贷款的方式来顺利完成学业,却苦于无处可借。本文提出一种观点,即由养老保险基金代替商业银行来提供助学贷款,并从理论上探讨了由养老保险基金提供助学贷款的可行性。 [关键词]养老保险基金;商业银行;助学贷款 [中图分类号] F840.67 [文献标识码] A [文章编号]1004-3306(2006)07-0072-02 Abstract: Currently, pension funds have limited investment channels in China, which results in their low portfolio diversification and lack of credit products.

This article puts forth an opinion that pension funds can replace commercial banks to issue loans to students and explores the feasibility of it. Key words:pension funds; commercial bank; student loan
