The ETF market has experienced robust growth recently. As of the end of May 2024, its scale has reached NT$5 trillion in Taiwan, establishing itself as one of the most popular investment vehicles today. To promote correct ETF investment concepts among investors, raise awareness of investment risks, and optimize the accessibility of ETF-related information, TDCC has integrated various ETF product information from TWSE, TPEx, and SITCA. Under the guidance of the FSC Securities and Futures Bureau (SFB), this effort has led to the creation of a unified portal for ETF information - the TDCC "ETF Information Hub”. This platform allows investors to effortlessly search and download various ETF information, significantly enhancing accessibility for ETF investors.

The TDCC "ETF Information Hub" will be launched in phases. The first phase went live on June 28, with the second phase scheduled at the end of October. This initiative focuses on three main features. Firstly, the "ETF Information Hub" provides a user-friendly unified interface that consolidates diverse ETF information currently dispersed across TWSE, TPEx, and SITCA. Secondly, investors can freely customize the sorting of information columns to easily find the ETF investment data they need. Lastly, popular topics like ETF statistics and dividend calendar will be launched in the second phase, aligning with the growing trend of investors focusing on dividend yields and long-term holding portfolio.

Moreover, to ensure investors develop accurate ETF investment perspectives, the SFB has tasked TWSE, TPEx and SITCA to deliver appropriate ETF investment concepts and risk awareness through online and offline channels, including articles, podcasts, videos and physical activities, to achieve better Product-Customer Fit. Hence, the TDCC "ETF Information Hub" will also serve as a comprehensive gateway linking to the educational contents on ETFs provided by the above-mentioned institutions.

President Daniel Chen of TDCC highlighted that TDCC has long been instrumental in the mutual fund market. TDCC not only established the "ETF Information Hub" to enhance information transparency and promote financial inclusion but also introduced the “ETF IPO File Transfer Platform” in April to promote the efficiency of ETF offering operations between securities firms and fund houses. Additionally, TDCC launched the ETF eNotice service to align with global trends in ESG sustainable development and meet the market demand for digital services.

TDCC will continue to foster a conducive environment for the fund industry’s growth and support the FSC in transforming Taiwan into a prominent asset management center in Asia.
