投资者保护机制是资本市场制度的重要组成部分。国外成熟资本市场在经济理论推陈出新、证券市场日益扩大、投资者利益受损事件催化等多方因素影响下,现已建立相对较为健全的投资者保护机制。其主要思路是通过信息披露揭示风险,并设置风险分担措施。典型的制度措施包括债券受托管理制度、债券担保制度、信息披露制度、债券信用评级、投资者保护基金、债券保险等。目前,我国也从多方面建立了针对债券投资者的保护制度,基本涵盖了上述几个方面,但在具体制度的制定与实施上仍有较大改进空间。随着债券市场规模不断扩大,发行人类型不断丰富,信用风险表现形式多样,完善投资者保护机制成为市场制度建设的重要内容,投资者保护机制将朝着以下几个方面发展:进一步完善证券市场法制法规建设,完善公司的法人治理结构,加强投资者教育工作,加强资本市场诚信建设。
Investor protection mechanism is a main component of the capital market system. In mature foreign capital markets,there have been quite established investor protection mechanism thanks to the rapid updates of economics theories,continual expansion of the securities market and incidents of investor interest being jeopardized. Their main strategy is to provide risk warning through information disclosure and put in place risk-sharing measures. Typical systematic measures include bond trustee management system,bond guarantee system,information disclosure system,bond credit rating,investor protection funds,and bond insurance. China has also established some bond investor protection arrangements,which largely cover the above-mentioned aspects. However,there is still much room left for China to improve the system in terms of establishment and implementation of concrete systematic measures. As the bond market expands continually,the types of issuing entities have diversified and the credit risks have become more complicated,improving the investor protection mechanism has become an important component of the market systematic build-up. The following measures should be taken to improve the investor protection system. First,the legal framework of the securities market should be improved. Second,the corporate governance structure should be improved. Third,investment education should be strengthened. Last but not least,the credibility awareness should be enhanced.
