本研究主要的目的在於探討投資型保險商品在消費者面的價值與屬性，以及消費者於購買投資型保險商品時，其購買因素的考量，藉以找出投資型保險商品的潛在客群，以利壽險公司行銷策略之擬定與商品設計之參考。本研究使用焦點團體訪談方式來收集資料，透過整理逐字稿的內容來進行資料分析，分析結果如下： 1.購買投資型保險商品的消費者，對投資理財不一定有興趣，且風險承受能力不高。 2.投資型保險商品提供消費者保障的特色是決定購買投資型保險商品的主要因素之一。 3.消費者自我控管能力高低對購買投資型保險商品沒有影響。 4.對外國文化喜好程度高的消費者偏好購買外商壽險公司的投資型保險商品。 5.投資型保險商品的購買會因消費者年齡、收入及先前購買經驗而有所差異。 6.投資型保險商品的購買不會因為性別及對投資型保險商品的了解而有所差異。 從本研究中發現，消費者會購買投資型保險商品的主要關鍵在於業務人員的解說，所以要讓消費者認識投資型保險商品，首先需從強化業務人員教育訓練開始，藉以強化業務人員銷售投資型保險商品之信心及專業素養，並提升服務品質。而壽險公司應強化客戶關係管理，且在投資型保險商品之設計上應強化其保障及彈性靈活的特性，避免過於複雜的設計，以提高消費者購買意願；同時應多傾聽消費者及業務人員的聲音，收集與行銷或商品有關之資訊，以利日後行銷策略之擬定與商品設計之參考。 The main purpose of this study is to explore the value and property of investment-oriented insurance products to consumers.
