[Reporter Wu Xintian/Reported in Taipei] Cathay Investment Trust today announced that the actual amount distributed per beneficiary unit of Cathay Pacific Taiwan Leader 50 (00922) this time is NT$2.10. The last buying day for this ex-dividend is October 16, the ex-dividend trading day is October 19, and the dividend is expected to be distributed on November 12. It is estimated that nearly 190,000 investors are expected to participate in this interest collection.

Cathay Investment Bank said that with the impressive cumulative gains in Taiwanese stocks this year, many investors are faced with the dilemma of "worry about chasing higher prices" and "fear of missing out on the market." Instead of speculating on short-term market highs and lows at this time, it is better to diversify individual stock risks and participate in the long-term growth results of the company by focusing on market capitalization ETFs of Taiwan's large leading companies. Especially driven by corporate profits and industry trends, leading companies with scale advantages, competitiveness and liquidity tend to have better resilience in the face of market shocks.

00922 has attracted widespread market attention since its establishment. According to the latest statistics from the stock exchange, the size of the 00922 fund has been approximately NT$43.1 billion since the end of 2025. By October 5 this year, it once exceeded NT$100 billion and reached a level of approximately NT$101.6 billion, a growth of 135% in less than 10 months. It ranks among the largest domestic ETFs and has long been ranked among the stock exchange's popular fixed-amount ETFs.

00922 tracks the "MSCI Taiwan Leaders 50 Select Index" and uses the MSCI series of indexes from the international index compilation organization like National ETF 00878. The stock selection mechanism takes into account concepts such as market capitalization representativeness and corporate profit quality. It will first exclude companies with negative EPS in the past four quarters and companies with lagging low-carbon transformation scores, and finally select Taiwan's 50 most representative large companies as constituent stocks. The weights adopt an adjusted market capitalization weighting design, and there is a weight cap mechanism for single constituent stocks and the top five constituent stocks, which helps reduce the risk of excessive concentration and takes into account the growth of participating leading companies and the stability of the investment portfolio.

Cathay Investment Trust pointed out that in the face of market shocks and changes in industry fundamentals, grasping Taiwan's industry leaders through market capitalization ETFs is still an important strategy for investors to plan for the long-term growth trend of Taiwan stocks.
