insightPremia China New Economy: an improvement over ChiNext

It may sound too good to be true, but it is exactly what the Premia China New Economy ETF (3173.HK) has achieved so far.

How easy & cheap are Premia ETFs to trade vs alternatives?
insightHow easy & cheap are Premia ETFs to trade vs alternatives?

Most investors assume that the more liquid the ETF, the easier and cheaper it is to trade. This is true in markets like the US, where on-screen liquidity is prevalent, but Asia markets are not as straightforward. China A ETFs with on-screen liquidity are easy to trade, but easier does not always mean cheaper to trade. There is market risk in trading on-screen and though it is easier, it can actually be more expensive than trading via the underling liquidity of China A stocks inside the ETF.

Taiwan's Q1 GDP growth reached 13.69% amid the global AI boom

Taiwan’s economy continues to demonstrate exceptional strength, supported by its increasingly indispensable role in the global AI supply chain. First-quarter GDP expanded 13.69% year-on-year, marking the fastest pace of growth since 1987. The upside surprise was driven primarily by robust external demand, as exports surged on the back of accelerating global investment in AI infrastructure, semiconductors, and high-performance computing. Electronic components and ICT products accounted for nearly 80% of total outbound shipments, reinforcing Taiwan’s position at the center of next-generation technology manufacturing. The strength of the export cycle is also translating into broader domestic economic momentum. Technology companies continue to expand capacity and increase R&D spending to capture long-term AI opportunities, supporting manufacturing activity and capital formation. Meanwhile, buoyant equity market turnover and increased participation in investment products have provided an additional tailwind for Taiwan’s financial sector. With global AI capital expenditure expected to maintain a strong multi-year growth trajectory through the end of the decade, Taiwan remains structurally well-positioned to benefit from rising demand across the semiconductor and advanced electronics ecosystem. Against this backdrop, Taiwan equities should continue to enjoy strong medium-term earnings support and investor interest. For investors seeking efficient exposure to Taiwan’s leading technology champions, including TSMC, MediaTek, Delta Electronics, and ASE Technology, the Premia FTSE TWSE Taiwan 50 ETF offers a focused and liquid vehicle to access Taiwan’s AI-driven growth story.
