"Welcome, Is It Your First Time in Taiwan?" Yuanta Securities Publishes Taiwan Stock Investment Guidebook

Participation of Local Research Corporation... Providing Taiwan Stock Market and Economic Information

[Asia Economy Reporter Minwoo Lee] Yuanta Securities has published an investment guidebook for Taiwanese stocks.

Yuanta Securities announced on the 23rd that it has published the Taiwanese stock investment guidebook "Welcome, Is This Your First Time in Taiwan?" in collaboration with Yuanta Securities' local research team in Taiwan. The purpose is to provide high-quality investment analysis materials to domestic investors and present proactive investment strategies ahead of the launch of Taiwanese stock brokerage services on the 12th of next month.

TSMC, the world's number one semiconductor foundry and Taiwan's equivalent of Samsung Electronics, has surpassed Samsung Electronics with a market capitalization of approximately 430 trillion KRW. As of the end of August, the market capitalization of the Taiwan stock market is about 1,700 trillion KRW, reaching 90% of South Korea's. Through the newly published guidebook, comprehensive investment information on Taiwan's economy, stock market, and companies will be provided at a glance. Researchers from 'YSIC,' the Taiwanese Yuanta Securities research corporation, participated in the production of the guidebook.

The guidebook contains explanations of major stocks in the Taiwanese stock market and selects 50 stocks of interest. It also presents a top 10 recommended stock list carefully selected by local researchers. Included are TSMC, Formosa Plastics, a leading Taiwanese integrated chemical company, and Quanta Computer, the world's largest notebook contract manufacturer. The Taiwanese stock market and economic data, prepared by local researchers as well as domestic Yuanta Securities economists and global investment strategists, are clearly compared and analyzed with the domestic stock market and economy.

The guidebook can be accessed through Yuanta Securities' Home Trading System (HTS) 'T-Trader,' Mobile Trading System (MTS) 'T-Trader M,' and the 'Taiwan Research' section under overseas stocks on the Yuanta Securities website. In addition, various analysis materials such as the Taiwanese stock guidebook "Welcome to Taiwan" and reports on Taiwanese companies and industries have also been prepared.

Park Ki-hyun, head of Yuanta Securities Research Center, said, "Despite Taiwan's significant role and share in the global information technology (IT) industry's value chain and its market capitalization ranking fourth in Asia, it has not been properly introduced to Korean investors until now. As we will soon launch Taiwanese stock brokerage services, we hope this material will serve as a proper guide for domestic investors seeking new overseas investment destinations in Taiwan."
