Taiwan's active ETF market accelerates towards global prominence amid policy and investor confidence growth

Monday, 4 May 2026 6:01AM UTC

Taiwan's active ETF market has surged to become Asia’s third largest by assets, driven by policy liberalisation and rising investor acceptance, signalling a new phase in local and global asset management.

主動式ETF近年迅速成為全球資本市場的熱門話題，台灣也正跟上這股潮流。台灣證交所指出，截至2025年4月，台灣ETF市場已成為亞洲第三大，總資產規模達新台幣6.4兆元；在金管會於2024年底核准後，主動式ETF於台灣加速落地，被視為ETF發展邁向新階段的重要標誌。

在台灣，這類商品的成長速度尤其引人注目。證交所資料顯示，主動式ETF自2025年5月推出後，到2025年底已掛牌七檔，並吸引逾新台幣500億元資金；到2026年3月底，投信投顧公會統計的台股主動式ETF規模更進一步攀升至約新台幣2,309.8億元，顯示投資人接受度持續提高。

主動式ETF之所以受青睞，關鍵在於它結合了ETF的交易便利與主動選股的靈活度。與被動追蹤指數的產品不同，主動式ETF可由經理人依產業趨勢、基本面與市場情緒調整部位，在熱門題材快速輪動的市場中，提供投資人以單一工具參與多個強勢板塊的機會。證交所也指出，這類產品兼具即時交易、透明度較高，以及相對傳統共同基金較低的門檻與成本。

政策鬆綁同樣推了一把。金管會在2026年4月24日將國內股票型基金及主動式ETF對單一上市股票的持股上限，自10%放寬至25%，市場因此將其稱為「台積電條款」。這項調整意味著資金配置邏輯更朝向核心龍頭集中，可能強化大型權值股的吸金效果，也讓中小型股在資金相對分散下承受更大波動。

放眼全球，主動式ETF的發展空間仍被看好。台灣證交所引述市場預估指出，全球主動式ETF資產管理規模到2030年可望達約4.2兆美元；花旗也預期，未來十年主動式ETF在整體資產管理中的市佔率仍將上升。對投資人而言，這代表ETF已不再只是「買市場」的工具，而是逐步走向「找人幫你打敗市場」的新階段。
