According to reports from the finance center, the largest and most prominent ETF in Taiwan, Yuanta Taiwan 50 (0050), successfully completed its split vote on April 24, 2025, gaining overwhelming approval at a rate of 94.2%. The ETF is set to undergo a 4-for-1 stock split, with trading paused from June 11 to June 17, and resuming on June 18 for trading, purchasing, and borrowing operations.

The goal of this split is to bring the unit price closer to market habits, lowering the investment threshold and attracting more young and small investors. The split ratio will be announced on May 14, based on the net asset value on June 11, and this will affect the number of units held by investors and the price per unit.

Since its listing in 2003, 0050 has been a pivotal tool for asset allocation for Taiwanese investors. The effects of the split are expected to enhance its appeal as the market cap of Taiwanese stocks grows, with the net subscription amount surpassing NT$130.3 billion.

Yuanta Investment Trust also notes that while market-cap ETFs have significant long-term capital gain potential, investors should be cautious about potential risks and plan a comprehensive investment strategy.
