AI Upgrade Wave Lifts Taiwan Stock Momentum
As the global AI industry enters a technology upgrade wave, Taiwan, as a core supply chain hub, from TSMC advanced processes and CoWoS to server and cooling suppliers, is leading Taiwan stocks to challenge the 50,000-point mark, with investors clearly tilting asset allocation toward Taiwan stocks. According to the Securities Investment Trust and Consulting Association, as of the end of September, actively managed Taiwan stock fund assets grew 125.7% from the end of last year, with assets increasing by over NT$60 billion in September alone, showing capital actively positioning for the Taiwan stock rally.
To help investors capture the rally, the "Chailease Fund Platform" on October 22 joined Allianz Global Investors, Uni-President Investment Trust Taiwan stock fund managers, and fund mentor Hsiao Pi-Yen to hold the "Battle for the Top of Taiwan Stocks Investment Forum," breaking down Taiwan stock allocation strategy for the AI supercycle, with enthusiastic on-site response. Attendees from left to right were Uni-President Investment Trust manager Yang Hsueh-Hsing, Chailease Investment Advisory General Manager Su Hao-Yi, fund mentor Hsiao Pi-Yen, and Allianz Taiwan Smart Fund manager Chen Szu-Ming.
Managers Bullish on Earnings and Fundamentals
Allianz Taiwan Smart Fund manager Chen Szu-Ming noted that the AI industry remains in its early stage of development, with strong computing power demand driving up the value of key components, forecasting Taiwan corporate earnings growth of 84% and 35% in 2026 and 2027 respectively, with current valuations still in a reasonable range. Uni-President Investment Trust manager Yang Hsueh-Hsing reminded that Taiwan stocks have swung sharply in the short term on external factors including U.S. bond yields, rate hikes, inflation, and geopolitics, but Taiwan's economic growth is strong at over 11%, listed company profits continue to be revised upward, and with strong fundamentals, the long-term bull market pattern for Taiwan stocks amid the AI mega-trend remains unchanged.
Disciplined Installments to Beat Fear of Heights
Facing the psychological pressure of high-level volatility, fund mentor Hsiao Pi-Yen believes the biggest taboo in participating in the Taiwan stock rally is guessing highs and lows by feeling, with the key being asset allocation and choosing the right investment tools. She said the "Chailease Flex SIP" mechanism with its "moving-average deduction" and "dip-buying" advanced deduction functions is especially suited to bull markets, helping secure relatively lower entry prices at market highs and practicing the principle of "laughing to the sky." Chailease Fund Platform General Manager Su Hao-Yi stressed that for long-term investors, "index milestones" are often just a mental block, not the end of the rally, and winning lies not in buying at the lowest point but in keeping capital in the market continuously and with discipline, with compounding over time digesting short-term swings. "Time in the market" matters far more than "timing market entry," recommending the automated regular fixed-amount mechanism of "Chailease Flex SIP" to remove emotional interference when navigating high-level markets.
