In Taiwan, the investment-linked insurance is one of the popular structured products. However, complexity is too high to price, so that investor can’t make a good decision about proportion of investment-linked insurance. An investment environment based on Jessen and Jorgensen (2012) assumes, a risk-free bank deposits, two market indexes (Index A, Index B), and an investment-linked insurance, linked with Index A and Index B. Investors only can invest Index B by investment-linked insurance. In this environment, we analyze the optimal proportion of the investment linked insurance, as well as the optimal asset allocation. In order to understand the investment behavior of investors and the process of psychological changing, we also explore sensitivity of optimal proportion of investment-linked insurance and asset allocation by risk aversion, insurance cost, correlation between Index A and Index B, and cumulative return. 　　We apply four utility functions and the expected utility maximization to get optimal asset allocation. The result shows that investment-linked insurance would be excluded form portfolio if investors can invest Index B directly.
