Making Taiwan an Asian Asset Management Center; AmCham Taiwan Commends FSC’s Continued Policy Liberalization

Taipei, Taiwan — AmCham Taiwan’s Asset Management, Banking, Capital Markets, Alternative Assets, and Insurance Committees recently met with the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) to discuss Taiwan’s development as an Asian asset management center and opportunities to further strengthen its financial markets. The meeting also marked the first official engagement with the FSC following the renaming of the “Private Equity Committee” as the “Alternative Assets Committee.”

AmCham Taiwan expressed its appreciation for the FSC’s sustained efforts to advance Taiwan’s financial sector, noting the clear progress achieved under the FSC’s “Two-Year Impact” objective. Over the past two years, the FSC has actively responded to market needs through regulatory review and reform, including revisions to the Deep Cultivation Program and consideration of relaxing the cap on the number of investors in private funds that are not securities investment trust funds.

The Chamber emphasized that timely regulatory adjustments, combined with continued dialogue with industry, will help unlock new opportunities for Taiwan’s financial markets. Several AmCham member companies have already entered the Kaohsiung Asset Management Zone to participate in pilot programs, while others have established Asian regional centers in Taiwan and expanded their local teams. For these companies, Taiwan’s continued financial regulatory liberalization is also an important signal to global headquarters of the market’s growth potential and its value as a long-term investment destination.

AmCham Taiwan also welcomed the FSC’s work to implement pilot programs in the Kaohsiung Asset Management Zone and its plan to integrate cross-sector regulations through dedicated legislation. These efforts are expected to create new models of collaboration across banking, asset management, insurance, and other financial services. The Chamber further commended the FSC’s cross-ministerial work to establish a tax framework for successive beneficiary trusts, which will support family succession while helping Taiwan retain wealth and attract capital.

With its network of leading international financial institutions and asset managers, AmCham Taiwan brings extensive global market experience and practical industry insights. The Chamber looks forward to participating in future discussions on the provisions and implementation details of the proposed dedicated legislation, and to sharing international best practices with regulators as Taiwan works to build a more competitive asset management environment.

AmCham Taiwan also recommended that the FSC consider establishing a Family Office Task Force to support Taiwan’s wealth-retention goals and encourage investors to allocate long-term capital in Taiwan. In parallel, the Chamber encouraged the FSC to continue strengthening international outreach to actively attract capital and promote Taiwan’s asset management advantages on the global stage.

AmCham Taiwan will continue to support the FSC’s policy vision of “Two-Year Impact, Four-Year Transformation, and Six-Year Achievement.” The Chamber looks forward to maintaining close communication with the FSC and advancing public-private collaboration to further strengthen Taiwan’s financial markets and position Taiwan as a more attractive investment destination.
