Fund managers attribute this success to Taiwan's role in the AI supply chain, which has fundamentally reshaped industry profits. Government agencies have revised economic growth forecasts upward, potentially exceeding double-digit growth. This robust AI demand is expected to continue supporting the positive outlook for Taiwan stock funds. The article also notes that the monthly disclosure of active funds, unlike the daily announcements of active ETFs, helps prevent market tracking and targeted selling.
Taiwan is benefiting from the AI supply chain, which has completely overturned the industry's profit structure.
