ETFs jump to two-thirds of all Taiwan fund assets

Quick Summary:

Yuanta Funds, the market’s largest ETF provider, pulled in NT$170bn ($5.4bn) amid a fundraising frenzy during five days in March for its Yuanta Taiwan Value High Dividend ETF, smashing the previous record by a factor of five.“We would never expect that a fund in Taiwan could raise $5bn.

Chu Yueh-Chung, assistant professor at the department of finance of the Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology, told Ignites Asia at the time that “unscrupulous” marketing tactics by fund houses had led to an “exaggerated rush” into new high-dividend ETFs.

Chen said this move could trigger a fee battle between Taiwan’s bigger ETF managers, which then might lead to further uptick in interest and flows for the ETF market.*Ignites Asia is a news service published by FT Specialist for professionals working in the asset management industry.
