Investors interested in Taiwanese stocks and ETFs, particularly those seeking strategies to capitalize on the tech and semiconductor sectors.
Foreign investors are raising targets for Taiwan stocks, with Aletheia seeing TSMC at 3500 and Goldman Sachs at 51000 points.
TSMC, at 42% of the index, has surged 60% this year and 143% in the past year, leading other strong performers.
For investors finding stocks too expensive, ETFs are recommended, focusing on semiconductor, market-cap, and active ETFs.
Market-cap ETFs, led by ESG-focused ones like 00923, show strong performance, with many exceeding 70% year-to-date.
Semiconductor ETFs, like 00913, are outperforming, with year-to-date gains over 100%, driven by memory and IC design stocks.
Active ETFs are fiercely competing, with 00991A leading at 102.5% year-to-date, showcasing strong fund manager performance.
Aggressive investors can use semiconductor ETFs, while conservative ones should consider market-cap ETFs with higher TSMC exposure.
