Entrusted loan funds and entrusted loans are two different concepts.

Entrusted loan funds refer to the funds entrusted by customers (usually investors) to loan institutions for management and investment. These funds are usually operated by professional fund managers to obtain higher returns. The scale and source of entrusted loan funds will be limited, and investors usually need to meet certain conditions and requirements before they can participate.

Entrusted loan means that a financial institution entrusts part of the loan funds to another financial institution for lending through an entrustment contract. Entrusted loan is usually a way of credit cooperation between financial institutions. For financial institutions that provide loans, they can expand the scale of lending through entrusted loans, reduce risks and spread risks.

Therefore, in terms of scale, entrusted loan funds can be larger than entrusted loans. Entrusted loan funds are formed by absorbing funds from multiple investors, and their scale may be very large. Entrusted loan is a specific loan transaction with limited scale.
