KGI Securities observed the ranking of popular targets for clients' regular fixed quotas in September and found that ETFs are still the first choice for investors' regular allocations, among which Yuanta Taiwan 50 (0050) is firmly in the leading position. However, KGI Taiwan TOP 50 (009816), which was listed in February this year, features a no-dividend and reinvestment design. It has been favored by a large number of investors and quickly climbed to No. 4, becoming one of the most eye-catching growth ETFs in the TOP10 list.
Further analysis of the distribution of popular targets shows that high-dividend ETFs continue to be favored, including Cathay Pacific High Dividend (00878) and Yuanta High Dividend (0056), which ranked second and third respectively; technology-themed ETFs and active ETFs also entered the top 10, showing that while investors are pursuing stable dividend distribution, they are also actively deploying industry trends and diversified investment strategies with growth potential.
KGI Securities reminds that although the ranking of popular regular quotas can be used as a reference indicator for observing market preferences, when investors actually plan regular quotas, they should still comprehensively evaluate the monthly investment amount, underlying allocation and deduction time based on their own financial goals and risk tolerance, pay attention to market fluctuation risks, and accumulate assets through disciplined investment.
