The Formation and Development of Trust Institutions and Their Function in the Financial System

现代信托是以信托机构的形式运作的，信托机构是根据信托法组织起来的，而信托机构本身则以这种具体形式作为其存在和运作的制度框架。本研究课题“信托制度的形成、发展及其在金融体系中的作用”，以把握作为信托制度和信托法律的框架的信托制度和信托法的作用和效果为目的，对金融环境中的信托制度的发展和演变进行了分析研究。具体而言，本研究课题的主要内容是：第一，对金融信托机构的发展及其演变进行调查和建模;第二，分析信托机构对信托的金融中介功能的影响;第三，进一步分析明确信托机构在金融体系中发挥的基本功能。

Modern trusts are operating in the form of trust institutions organized under trust law, while themselves taking this concrete form as the institutional framework for their existence and function. In this research project "The Formation and Development of Trust Institutions and Their Function in the Financial System," I analytically examined the institutional development and evolution of trusts in the financial environment, with the intention of grasping the function and effect of trust institutions and trust law as working as the institutional and legal framework of trusts. More specifically, the following generic issues were undertaken in the project : first, the investigation and modeling of the development of financial trust institutions and their evolution over time ; second, the analysis of the effect which trust institutions have on the financial intermediation function of trusts ; and third, the further analytical clarification of the essential function performed by trust institutions in the financial system.
