Advancing Taiwan’s Capital Market Within The Asian Asset Management Center
Webinar
With Thanks To Our Event Sponsor:
Background: Taiwan is actively positioning itself as a premier Asian Asset Management Center (AAMC) through a series of strategic regulatory reforms and policy initiatives. These efforts are designed to enhance market openness, align with international standards, and bolster the overall capacity of its financial sector. Since the launch of the AAMC initiative in September 2024, Taiwan has focused on expanding asset management activities, facilitating cross-border financial services, and optimizing the investment environment. The AAMC initiatives aim to expand Taiwan’s asset management industry and investor base, while boosting regional competitiveness and global recognition.
To ensure effective implementation and foster closer engagement with market participants, the AAMC Promotion Office was established as an integrated coordination platform, operating out of the TWSE. This office bridges the gap between policy objectives and market practice by providing structured communication channels, regulatory guidance, and international outreach. These efforts ensure that reforms remain responsive to industry needs and contribute to the sustainable growth of Taiwan’s asset management ecosystem.
Aligned with this vision, the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE), in collaboration with Z/Yen, the compiler of Global Financial Centres Index (GFCI), are pleased to host this online forum. Bringing together leading experts, this webinar will provide an in-depth exploration of Taiwan’s progress and strategic trajectory as an AAMC. By blending policy perspectives with practical industry insights, the session aims to facilitate high-level dialogue, share field observations, and enhance the international community's understanding of Taiwan’s evolving role in the regional and global landscape.
We cordially invite financial professionals and stakeholders worldwide to join us in exploring Taiwan’s transformation into a dynamic asset management center —one that is "Locally Rooted, Globally Connected"—to unlock new opportunities for long-term investment in Asia.
