保險人發行投資型商品之收費主要來自於基金管理費用。本研究旨在提供一個架構，以作為此基金管理費用定價之依據。在此一架構下，保險人提撥準備金以因應附保證給付所帶來的風險；並可區分因保證給付所衍生之收費以及非因保證給付所衍生之收費。
簡單的說，我們的步驟如下：首先模擬未來的投資報酬率，藉以建構保險人發行投資型商品之現金流量分配。其次，在既定的內部報酬率(Internal Rate of Return)以及規範之準備金提存標準下，計算相對應之費率。
在本研究中，我們提供以滿期保證給付為例之相關數值結果。任何保證形態之投資型商品其基金管理費用皆可依此架構定價。

This paper proposes a framework to charge for unit-linked contracts when considering guaranteed risk. The charge is determined by two criteria of meeting the target internal rate of return and simultaneously reserving standard. The framework is built on the stochastic cash-flow analysis. Thus, we first model the cash flow for unit-linked contracts by means of simulation, using a stochastic model for future dynamics of the rate of return. In the cash flow model, we consider the reserves for the guaranteed risk. The reserving standard for the guaranteed risk is based on quantile risk measure. In our framework, we work out the charges in reverse.

For illustrative purposes, we investigate a unit-linked policy with maturity guarantees. However, our framework would apply to other types of contacts and guarantees. Some sensitivity analyses are also carried out in this research.
