Tai Xin 00962 Monthly Dividend Doubles to Record High, Annualized Yield Hits 13%

The dual momentum of Taiwan's AI investment boom and the dividend distribution season has officially ignited. According to the latest announcement from asset management firms, the Tai Xin AI High-Dividend Momentum ETF (00962-TW), which combines AI growth potential with high-income advantages, is set to distribute NT$0.16 per unit in August—double the previous month's amount. Based on the closing price of NT$14.42 on August 3, the annualized dividend yield reaches 13.31%, setting a new historical high for both dividend amount and yield since the ETF's launch. The ex-dividend date is scheduled for August 17, with August 14 as the last day to purchase for eligibility, and dividends to be received on September 4.

The research team of the Tai Xin Taiwan AI High-Dividend Momentum ETF stated that the global AI arms race has transitioned from the past two years' 'software-driven narrative' into a 'golden harvest period' of commercialization and tangible hardware shipments. From U.S. tech giants expanding capital expenditures and the explosive construction of global AI data centers, to generative AI penetrating edge computing devices, smart logistics, and AI healthcare, there is a strong and sustained demand for Taiwan's tech ecosystem. Taiwan's technology companies hold an indispensable strategic position globally in areas such as foundry services, advanced packaging (CoWoS), server OEM, thermal modules, high-end power supplies, and PCBs and optical communications.

The 'Taiwan Index Company Select Taiwan Listed & OTC AI High-Dividend Momentum Index' tracked by 00962 features a unique dual-optimization mechanism: focusing on high dividend yield in May and high momentum in November. Ahead of Taiwan's dividend season, the index rebalances in May to prioritize stocks with high dividend yields and solid financial health, tilting weights toward AI tech stocks about to distribute substantial dividends, ensuring maximum cash income during the peak dividend period and establishing a strong defensive income base for investors.

The November review shifts fully into 'momentum capture' mode. After the dividend season ends and the market enters the fourth quarter, the index switches to an offensive stance, selecting AI 'dark horse' stocks with strong price momentum and robust revenue growth. This allows 00962 not only to collect dividends but also to敏锐ly capture year-end performance-chasing rallies.
