According to recent reports, both 0050 and 0056 ETFs have exceeded NT$100 billion in net subscription amount this year, making up about 60% of the total purchase of Taiwan stock ETFs.

Despite significant fluctuations in the Taiwan stock market, ETFs remain popular among investors due to their stability and regular dividends, with 0050 and 0056 being the hottest stocks. As of April 28, the net subscription amounts for 0050 and 0056 reached NT$129.9 billion and NT$105 billion, respectively, totaling NT$234.9 billion, which accounts for 59.5% of all Taiwan stock ETFs. Moreover, the scale of 0056 has reached a new high despite market headwinds.

0050 is Taiwan's first market capitalization-based ETF, and its stock price performance directly reflects the market capitalization changes of its constituent stocks, allowing efficient participation in the Taiwan stock market. This year, optimizations to the fee structure and a split proposal were implemented. Once the scale exceeds NT$500 billion, the management fee for that portion will be set at 0.08%. Furthermore, the split will significantly lower the investment threshold, attracting new investors.

On the other hand, 0056 is Taiwan's first high dividend ETF, which has maintained a continuous dividend record for 15 years despite facing multiple adverse market conditions since its establishment in 2007. Data from Yuanta Investment Trust indicates that as of April 28, 0056 has a distributable income of NT$4.12, along with a capital stabilization fund of NT$3.01. Based on the current dividend level, it is well-supported for future dividends, and as Taiwan enters its dividend season, there is an expectation for further boosts to 0056's dividend income.

Yuanta Investment Trust points out that the characteristics of the ETF, such as risk diversification and regular adjustment of holdings, have driven investors to shift their funds from individual stocks to ETFs. Reports from the stock exchange show that among the top ten regular investment accounts in March, nine were Taiwan stock ETFs. Additionally, statistics from the Central Depository indicate that as of April 25, five out of the top ten listed investors are also Taiwan stock ETFs, demonstrating a continued shift in investment trends.

However, Yuanta also reminds investors to have a comprehensive funding plan before investing to avoid overexposure to significant losses in a single year. Conversely, during significant market corrections, it is a good opportunity to focus on the operational resilience of Taiwan's quality companies and the long-term dividend distribution advantages compared to the global stock market, and to consider purchasing at relative lows.
