On the 18th, Taiwan's stock market rose by 145.14 points, with both price and volume experiencing strong growth. The Yuanta Taiwan 50 ETF (0050) saw substantial buying interest on its first trading day after the split, with a total trading volume of 244,000 units, securing the top position in trading volume. The Capital Taiwan Selected High Dividend ETF (00919) followed in second place with 88,000 units.
In the analysis of the average trading volume over the past five days, the recently ex-dividend 00919 emerged as the trading champion with 239,000 units, while the Yuanta Taiwan 50 inverse ETF (00632R) and 0050 occupied the second and third positions, respectively. Market analysts noted that 00919's attractive feature of a consistent annualized dividend yield exceeding 10% over nine consecutive periods has significantly contributed to its popularity, making it possible for many investors to enter the market at favorable prices post-ex-dividend. Additionally, following the split, the drop in the price of 0050 has attracted more funding, presenting a good opportunity for long-term investors to buy at lower prices.
The fund manager of the Capital Taiwan Selected High Dividend ETF, Hsieh Ming-Chih, stated that the fundamentals of the Taiwanese stock market are solid, and the market's enthusiasm is expected to continue. He suggested a buying-on-dips strategy if the market sees a pullback, with an investment focus on AI-related supply chain technology stocks and industries expected to rebound. According to the latest data from the Investment Trust Association, as of May 2025, the size of 00878 has surpassed 426.2 billion TWD, benefiting over 1.74 million investors, both of which are new historical highs.
