[Reporter Li Jinghui/Taipei Report] Central banks around the world continue to increase gold allocations, and gold assets are becoming more popular. Mega Investment Trust announced the launch of Taiwan's first gold mining ETF "Mega U.S. Gold Mining ETF (009832)", which will be raised from October 6 to 12, with an issuance price of 10 yuan per unit.

Mega Investment Bank said that the global financial market has been affected by factors such as de-dollarization, geopolitical risks and interest rate policy expectations in recent years, and the demand for gold allocation has increased. According to the 2026 Central Bank Gold Reserve Survey, 84% of central banks surveyed expect the ratio of gold to total reserves to increase moderately or significantly in the next five years.

Unlike direct investment in physical gold or gold ETFs, gold mining stocks not only reflect the trend of gold prices, but are also affected by changes in miners' operations and profits. Mega Investment Bank uses a "bakery" metaphor. The price of gold is like the selling price of bread, and gold mining companies are companies that produce bread. When gold prices rise and mining and production costs are properly controlled, corporate profit margins may expand, further driving the company's operations and stock price performance, becoming the unique "operating leverage" feature of gold mining stocks.

Mega U.S. Gold Mining ETF (009832) tracks the NYSE TIP U.S. Gold Mining Index and selects industry leaders in the "gold and silver" industries that are listed in the United States, have market capitalization standards, and are of high purity. The constituent stocks are adjusted quarterly. As of the end of August 2026, 55 selected stocks have been collected, 45 of which are gold-related, with gold 90.2%, silver 9.8%, and a single component stock weight limit of 20%. The allocation is adjusted quarterly.

Mega Investment compiled performance statistics as of August 2026. Since the establishment of the tracking index on March 20, 2015, the NYSE TIP U.S. Gold Mining Index has a cumulative interest-based return rate of 553.9%, and an annualized rate of return of 17.8%; during the same period, the cumulative return rate of gold prices was 275.2%, and an annualized rate of 12.2%. Mega Investment Bank stated that 009832 is positioned as a "gold industry satellite position" in asset allocation. In addition to controlling gold price trends, it also participates in the operating performance of gold mining companies, providing investors who already hold Taiwanese stocks or technology stocks and want to increase their allocation to different industries with an additional option.
