Features: The social security system is an important component of a country's economic modernization and a cornerstone of the construction of the modern market economy. Issues related to the effective operation of the social security system include the investment and management of social security funds. The operation of social security funds not only requires the raising and accumulation of funds but also the preservation and appreciation of the funds. The basic approach to achieving preservation and appreciation is through the investment and management of funds, entering the capital markets and engaging in financial operations to realize stable returns for the funds, which is a common experience in countries around the world. This book is a project of the National Social Science Fund of China, systematically and practically elaborating on the theoretical and practical issues of social security fund investment and management. The book first analyzes the investment and management models of social security funds in foreign countries, examining and studying the experiences of countries such as the United States, Europe, Japan, Singapore, and Chile. It then conducts a comparative analysis of the investment and management of social security funds both domestically and internationally, revealing some valuable lessons for reference. On this basis, the book explores the issues of social security fund investment and management in China and proposes corresponding policy recommendations. This book is suitable for economic and financial theorists, practitioners, and faculty and students in institutions of higher learning for reference.
