Abstract Based on the 2011 China Household Finance Survey(CHFS)data, this paper examines the impact of risk of social endowment insurance on financial assets investment of Households in China. The empirical results indicate that social endowment insurance significantly increase the possibility of holding risky financial assets and the ratio of risky financial assets, the marginal effects are 25% and 22% respectively. These results are robust after controlling the family income, demographic characteristics and the investment risk attitude. One important explanation is social endowment insurance can effectively reduce the uncertainty of the future. We further divide the sample into urban and rural families. The effect is very weak and not significant in the rural area, which indicates the security level and the role of promoting financial consumption of the new rural endowment insurance need to be improved.
