Active ETFs saw strong trading volume last week in Taiwan, with CTBC Taiwan Income (00406A) leading the top 10 list with 937,000 daily shares traded.
What Happened
ETF Trading Activity: Despite a 1.8% decline in the broader Taiwan market last week, ETF trading remained robust, with active ETFs occupying four of the top ten spots by daily volume. CTBC Taiwan Income (00406A) topped the list with 937,000 shares, followed by Capital Taiwan Weighted 2X (00685L) and Uni-President Taiwan Growth (00981A).
Scale and Dividend Yield: The assets under management for 00406A have surged to NT$130.2 billion, making it the second-largest active ETF in the market. The fund is scheduled for an ex-dividend date on November 3, offering a distribution of NT$0.138 per share, which translates to an annualized yield of approximately 19.2%.
Market Outlook: Fund manager Zhang Shuting noted that while short-term volatility is inevitable due to valuation adjustments, the fundamental outlook for Taiwanese companies remains solid. Investors are advised to monitor U.S. tech stock performance, interest rate policies, and geopolitical developments closely.
PCB Sector Insights: The CTBC Taiwan-Japan-Korea PCB ETF (009828) was the only non-Taiwan-focused fund in the top ten, highlighting investor interest in the sector. Future performance will depend on cloud provider capital expenditures and the actual shipment progress of AI servers, which could drive demand for high-end PCB components.
