在我國，隨著資本市場型態的改變，機構投資人持股比例有越來越高的趨勢，影響性亦日趨重大。由於機構投資人的投資策略往往是其他投資者關注的焦點，因此面對機構投資人持股與日俱增的情況，瞭解機構投資人的持股偏好與其對被投資公司的影響，對瞭解資本市場與公司治理皆有很大的助益。基於上述原因，本研究以國內上市上櫃公司作為研究對象，探討機構投資人是否會利用自身資訊優勢與風險承擔能力進行擇股，並進一步探討機構投資人在公司治理中的角色，分析其是否能顯著提昇公司價值。

研究發現，盈餘品質與機構投資人之持股呈顯著負相關，即盈餘品質越差，
機構投資人持股比例越高。本研究認為，此乃機構投資人身為精明的投資者，利用自身資訊優勢的利基，能洞悉公司盈餘品質不佳背後的真正原因，並挑選具成長潛力的公司進行投資之結果。此外，風險承擔與機構投資人之持股呈顯著負相關，即公司風險承擔能力越高，機構投資人持股比例越高。具有成長導向的風險承擔能使公司價值提升，而機構投資人在進行投資選股時，會選擇具有較高風險承擔能力的公司。於公司價值部分，本研究實證指出，若三大法人上一期持股越高，則下一期公司價值會有顯著改善。然若個別檢視三大法人之影響，則發現僅投信對公司價值有顯著提升，外資法人與自營商對公司價值雖有正向影響，但其結果並不顯著。總體而言，本研究認同機構投資人為積極投資者的持股角色，會積極介入公司營運管理，並改善公司價值，為股權的擁有者(owner)而非短視近利的短暫持有者(transient holder)。
