Taiwan has launched a promotion office, along with a dedicated website, as part of its efforts to become a regional hub for global asset managers.

Established by the Taiwan Stock Exchange ( TWSE ) under the oversight of the Financial Supervisory Commission ( FSC ), the Asian Asset Management Center ( AAMC ) Promotion Office will serve as a centralized contact point for international firms seeking access to Taiwan’s financial markets.

The office offers comprehensive consultation services by phone, online, and in person, covering regulatory compliance, licensing procedures, and operational matters.

Since the inception of the AAMC initiative in September 2024, the FSC has implemented 36 regulatory reforms, exceeding its 2025 target ahead of schedule. “These reforms are instrumental in positioning Taiwan as a strategic gateway for global asset managers entering the Asian market,” FSC vice chairperson Chen Yen-Liang says.

Taiwan’s asset management sector is seeing robust growth, with assets under management ( AUM ) rising by nearly NT$3 trillion ( US$98 billion ) year-on-year.

The AAMC’s Kaohsiung Zone, launched in July, has already attracted a diverse mix of financial institutions, including banks, investment trusts, securities firms, insurers, and global accounting firms – reflecting growing market confidence.

Meanwhile, TWSE unveiled the AAMC website to provide the latest news from regulators, industry bodies, and affiliated agencies. The platform also issues policy briefings, market insights, and tailored consultation services for institutional investors and the general public.

“Taiwan offers a compelling combination of robust private savings, a resilient financial system, and strong synergies with the tech sector. This gives us a strategic edge in developing a globally competitive asset management hub,” says TWSE chairman and chief executive officer Sherman Lin. “The promotion office will play a pivotal role in translating policy into practice and unlocking new growth opportunities.”
