Foreign investment continues to show strong interest in Taiwan's OTC market. On June 13, the Taipei Exchange collaborated with KGI Securities to hold an overseas corporate briefing at Pacific Place in Hong Kong, attracting nearly 120 foreign institutional investors and establishing an important platform for funding and business exchange between both parties.

This corporate briefing focused on the IC design and semiconductor industries, hosting 46 interactive sessions that created a lively atmosphere. Representatives from numerous international asset management institutions gathered to demonstrate their high level of关注 for over-the-counter companies, marking a crucial milestone for the Taipei Exchange in enhancing international funding connections.

Among the participating companies were Lian Ya (3081), Hong Soo (3131), Shuang Hong (3324), Li Wang (3529), Xinhua (5274), Sheng Hui (5536), Wan Run (6187), and Jing Ce (6510). These companies represent key industry sectors such as IC design, semiconductor process supply chains, and thermal modules, showcasing significant technical capabilities and growth potential. Consequently, representatives from major asset management companies, insurance companies, and professional investment institutions participated in discussions.

The Taipei Exchange stated that, in addition to facilitating face-to-face communication between companies and foreign investors, special presentations were organized to deeply inform international investors about the advantages and characteristics of the OTC market. Topics covered included the development outcomes of their dual core business (stocks and bonds), the support mechanisms for corporate growth from a multi-tiered stock market, and highlights such as the typically high dividend yields and reasonable price-to-earnings ratios of OTC-listed stocks.

Furthermore, the Taipei Exchange shared its achievements in introducing international innovative products and promoting the sustainable development of OTC-listed companies, thus enhancing foreign institutions' understanding and confidence in Taiwan's capital market. To continually increase the international visibility and corporate value of OTC companies, the Taipei Exchange has been actively promoting overseas corporate briefings in recent years to facilitate direct connections between domestic excellent enterprises and international funding. Through these real-time exchanges, it not only showcases the R&D capabilities and operational highlights of Taiwanese OTC companies but also helps expand foreign investment participation in the OTC market.

Looking ahead, the Taipei Exchange will continue to host various international exchange activities to deepen ties with the global capital market and assist companies in improving governance, promoting sustainable development, and fostering internationalization, ultimately positioning Taiwan's capital market with greater strategic value on the global stage.
