Taiwan Bond

Taiwan bond mutual funds and ETFs invest the majority of their assets... Taiwan bond mutual funds and ETFs invest the majority of their assets in government and corporate debt of Taiwan. These funds can be actively or passively managed and may seek to track or outperform a particular benchmark. They may hedge foreign currency risk, or elect to leave themselves exposed to fluctuations in the Taiwanese Dollar. Depending on their mandate, these funds may focus on investment-grade bonds, high-yield (a.k.a. junk bonds), or a mix of credit quality. The Taiwanese government had around US$220 billion of bonds outstanding as of 2023. A notable feature of the Taiwanese bond market is the rapid growth of foreign currency denominated bonds. Investors can purchase these funds for both capital growth and income. The country is a developed market economy, which attracts investors. However, the chance of a Chinese invasion poses a risk to anyone holding these investments. Last Updated: 04/19/2024 View more View less
