Taiwan stock exchange to diversify equity market, targets tech and innovation sector

In a bid to diversify its equity market and stimulate investor interest, Taiwan’s stock exchange is gearing up to focus on the technology and innovation sector. This strategic decision is aimed at reducing the dominance of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., which currently holds a third of the weighting in the benchmark Taiwan Stock Exchange Weighted Index.

Sherman Lin, the Chairman and CEO of the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE), recently shed light on the formation of the Taiwan Innovation board. This initiative categorizes companies into specific sectors such as digital services, green energy, and lifestyle and leisure industries. The goal is to help investors identify their areas of interest more efficiently.

The shift by TWSE towards attracting innovative technology companies underlines its commitment to expanding and diversifying Taiwan’s equity market. This strategy could potentially provide investors with a broader array of choices and opportunities in various burgeoning sectors, thereby enhancing the overall appeal and resilience of Taiwan’s stock exchange.
