Total Market Deductions Hit Record NT$37.5 Billion
The Securities Investment Trust and Consulting Association announced October regular investment data, with total monthly regular investment deductions reaching NT$37.5 billion, a new record high. In October the Taiwan stock market underwent a correction on foreign capital rebalancing, while investors acted with maturity, buying ETFs on dips and increasing regular investments instead of cutting back, actively entering the market on sharp down days, with Yuanta Taiwan 50 (0050) monthly deductions topping NT$13 billion and leading the market higher.
0050 Deductions Reach NT$13.06 Billion, Up 127% Year-on-Year
October's top regular investment target was 0050, with monthly deductions reaching NT$13.06 billion, a new record high, up NT$7.31 billion from the same period in 2025, a 127% year-on-year increase, firmly ranking No. 1 in the market. Analysts noted that 0050 is the longest-established market-cap ETF, with index logic tested through bull and bear cycles, no human stock-selection error and keeping pace with the times, allowing full participation in Taiwan equities and corporate growth. As investors shift from trading to allocation, holding the index has become the main theme amid volatile markets.
0056 Deductions Hit Record NT$2.21 Billion
Second place went to Yuanta High-Dividend (0056), with monthly deductions also hitting a record NT$2.21 billion. 0050 and 0056 together accounted for nearly half of total regular investment amounts. Analysts noted that 0056 focuses on companies with earnings and dividend potential, and in recent years has benefited from strong AI demand, lifting both its share price and dividend performance, further strengthening its long-term allocation appeal and continuing to attract inflows.
Net Subscriptions of NT$890.9 Billion Challenge NT$1 Trillion Mark
Since inception through November 12, 0050 has delivered a cumulative return of 2,197%, or about 15% annualized, meaning invested capital roughly doubled every 5 years, continuing to push investor numbers, regular investment accounts and deduction amounts to new highs, leading Taiwan equity ETFs. Year-to-date through November 12, 0050 has recorded cumulative net subscriptions of NT$890.9 billion, already 2.6 times the full-year 2025 total, challenging the NT$1 trillion mark for the year, and is expected to add fuel to a Taiwan stock rebound and serve as an important foundation for the subsequent bull market.
