TSEC Taiwan Index Series
The TSEC Taiwan Index Series is a joint venture between the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation (TSEC) and FTSE Group. The partnership brings together both local market knowledge and international indexing capabilities providing investors with the tools to gain exposure to the Taiwanese market.
The series comprises a range of real-time tradable indices, which are designed for trading of derivatives, index-tracking funds, exchange traded funds and performance benchmarks.
The family includes:
- TSEC Taiwan 50 Index
50 of the most highly capitalised blue chip stocks and represents nearly 70% of the Taiwanese market. The index was the first of its kind designed specifically for derivative products in Taiwan.
- TSEC Taiwan Mid-Cap 100 Index
The next 100 constituents ranked by market capitalisation after the TSEC Taiwan 50 Index. The index predominantly measures growth sectors and represents nearly 20% of the market.
- TSEC Taiwan Technology Index
All the information technology stocks from the TSEC Taiwan 50 and TSEC Taiwan Mid-Cap 100 indices. The Taiwanese information technology sector is the largest industry sector and represents nearly 30% of the market.
- TSEC Taiwan Dividend+ Index
Designed to provide a daily measure of the performance of the 30 higher yielding stocks within the TSEC Taiwan 50 and Mid-Cap 100 indices. This allows investors to capture the long-term effect of higher compounding returns.
- TSEC Taiwan Eight Industries Index
Based on the combined constituents of the TSEC Taiwan 50 Index and the TSEC Mid-Cap 100 Index, this index represents the performance of eight key industry sectors in the Taiwan stock market.
- TSEC RAFI Taiwan Index Series
Designed to provide investors with the tools to gain exposure to Taiwanese companies, according to fundamental factors: total cash dividends, free cash flow, total sales and book equity value rather than the more traditional market capitalisation approach.
- TSEC Taiwan Shariah Index
Designed to be used as the basis of Shariah compliant investment products that focus on Shariah-compliant companies listed on the Taiwan (Taipei) Stock Exchange.
