00878 The number of beneficiaries increased by 37,000 last week, and the interest rate hit a new high to attract buyers.

[Reporter Wu Xintian/Taipei Report] Taiwan stocks fell by more than 5,500 points last week. Among the 364 Taiwan stock ETFs in Taiwan, a total of 239 saw a decrease in the number of beneficiaries, of which only 112 showed positive growth and some remained flat. Cathay Pacific High Dividend (00878) increased its beneficiaries by nearly 37,000 in a single week, ranking first among Taiwanese passive high dividend ETFs.

00878 is about to usher in its fourth income distribution this year, with a record high of 1.25 yuan per unit, and a cumulative dividend distribution of 3.34 yuan throughout the year. November 16th is the last purchase day to participate in this dividend distribution. The dividend will be ex-dividend on November 17th and is scheduled to be distributed on December 11th.

On the 6th, the National Security Fund decided to launch the task of stabilizing the market, authorizing the executive secretary to use funds according to market conditions. As the government announced market stabilization measures, coupled with the rebound of U.S. technology stocks, the Taiwan stock market opened more than 1,000 points on the 10th. Whether the rebound can continue, it will be observed in the future whether foreign selling pressure has eased, and whether corporate profits can support the stock price.

Regarding the increase in the number of beneficiaries last week, 00878 fund manager Jiang Yuteng analyzed that it can be observed from three aspects. First, the retracement of Taiwanese stocks may prompt investors who originally planned to enter the market in batches to re-evaluate their entry point; second, 00878 is about to usher in its fourth income distribution this year, which may also increase investors' attention to it; third, 00878 allocates both financial and technology stocks, taking its main holdings of CITIC Financial and Quanta as examples. The former's banking business covers loan interest and wealth management fees, while the latter can observe the progress of AI server orders and shipments. The two types of companies have different sources of profit, allowing investors to combine financial and technology allocations in the same portfolio.

Cathay Investment Trust said that in the face of Taiwan stock fluctuations, investors can set a suitable investment amount and period based on their own capital planning and risk tolerance, continue to accumulate assets through regular quotas, and participate in investment opportunities in different industries such as finance and technology. Long-term investment can help disperse the impact of a single entry point. Investors should still pay attention to market changes and measure their own tolerance.
