Taishin 00962 Raises Distribution to NT$0.25, Annualized Yield Tops 19% at Record High

Taishin Taiwan AI High Dividend Momentum ETF has raised its distribution again, this time to NT$0.25 per unit. Based on the fund’s NT$15.6 closing price on September 1, that translates into an annualized distribution yield of 19.23%, setting new records for the ETF since its launch.

The fund, known by its ticker 00962, has repeatedly increased its distribution since the latest ex-dividend season began. Payments rose from NT$0.05 to NT$0.08 and then NT$0.16 before reaching NT$0.25. The next ex-dividend date is September 15, and investors must buy by September 14 to participate. Distribution payments are scheduled for October 7.

Taishin Investment Trust said Taiwan’s economic monitoring indicator remained at a red light for an eighth consecutive month in July. It pointed to strong demand for AI servers, semiconductors and information and communications products, as well as continued high capital spending across the supply chain. The company expects expanding generative AI applications, larger data-center investments by four major U.S. cloud service providers and the coming consumer-electronics product season to support further expansion by Taiwan’s AI suppliers.

The ETF is built around two themes, AI and high dividends. Its holdings include Asus, Inventec, Wistron, Gigabyte Technology, Quanta Computer, Novatek, Advantech, Wiwynn, Hon Hai Precision Industry and Micro-Star International. The portfolio spans key parts of the technology supply chain, including IC design, foundries, power infrastructure and packaging and testing. Taishin Investment Trust said the fund gives investors exposure to ASIC and GPU server demand while also supporting monthly cash-flow planning. It expects 2027 to mark a shift from an AI theme-driven phase toward broader realization of long-term profits.
