FTSE partners with TSE for Taiwan indexes

Index provider FTSE Group and the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TSE) have launched two new indexes, the TSEC Taiwan Eight Industries Index and the TSEC Taiwan Dividend Index. Both are tradable indexes, designed to act as the basis for funds, structured products and derivative products in Taiwan.

The TSEC Taiwan Eight Industries Index is comprised of key industries such as basic materials, industrials, and consumer goods.

Meanwhile, the TSEC Taiwan Dividend Index introduces return indexing to the Taiwan market for the first time. By selecting the 30 highest yielding stocks from the TSEC Taiwan 50 and Mid-Cap 100 Indexes and applying forecast weightings and liquidity criteria, total returns are effectively increased.
