| Since 1990's, the investment management of pension funds is one of the hot issues in the social security research, accordingly the risk management of pension funds investment being put on the order of the day. Based on this point, pulsing a willingness to contribute my energy to risk management in China, I choose "risk management in the investment operation of pension fund" as the topic of my research, attempting to analyze and discuss the risk management of pension fund investment comprehensively and profoundly in the theoretical and practical levels.Based on the reality of current Chinese political, economic and social systems, taking the capital market in our country as research platform, the author constructs logical architecture of this paper according to kinds of risks that may be confronted with in pension fund investment operation. Analyzing prevailing problem, exploring the settle ways, and discussing the theoretical and practical problems in the risk management of pension fund investment in China. These are the expected objects of why to write this paper.The article is divided into three parts. Chapter one mainly analyzes the risks faced in the pension fund investment. The first part is necessary preparation for the discussion of the second part. The content of chapter two is the core of the article, which is structuring the risk management mechanism of pension fund investment in China. The chapter three is roughly researching on pension fund investing in the stock market.
