TechFlow news — On September 30, according to official announcements, Taiwan's Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) declared that professional investors are now permitted to invest in overseas virtual asset ETFs through securities firms via discretionary委托 arrangements. This move aims to provide investors with more diversified investment options and enhance the vitality of discretionary委托 services offered by Taiwanese securities firms.
Under the regulations, only qualified professional investors are eligible to participate, including professional institutional investors, high-net-worth corporate investors, and clients with substantial assets. Securities firms must establish robust investor suitability assessment systems and require non-institutional professional investors to sign a risk disclosure statement prior to their first purchase.
The FSC also requires securities firms to provide investors with comprehensive product information and strengthen relevant training for their staff. The commission stated it will continue monitoring the market and refining regulations to balance investor protection with market innovation.
