1 reports · First detected 2026-07-24 · Last active 2026-07-24

Taiwan's Financial Supervisory Commission and the Kaohsiung City Government inaugurated the Kaohsiung Asset Management Zone on July 22, 2025, as a regulatory testing ground for the country's Asian Asset Management Center initiative. The project uses relaxed rules and integrated banking, securities, insurance and advisory services to retain domestic wealth, attract overseas capital and financial talent, and strengthen Taiwan's position in Asia's cross-border wealth-management market.

The commission said on July 24, 2026, that 58 financial institutions had entered the zone and were conducting 38 pilot businesses. The number of high-net-worth clients reached 6,214, with assets under management of NT$728.1 billion; 189 family offices accounted for NT$91.5 billion. Regulators plan to roll mature services out nationwide, allow banks to invest in foreign virtual-asset ETFs through trusts for wealthy clients, and streamline cross-border account opening through offshore banking, insurance and securities units, known as OBU, OIU and OSU.

Kaohsiung Asset-Management Pilot Zone Forges New Model for Finance and Industrial Investment2026-07-05 · 2 reports · similarity 0.81

Taiwan’s Financial Supervisory Commission and the Kaohsiung City Government inaugurated the Asian Asset Management Center’s Kaohsiung pilot zone on July 22, 2025. The initiative links banking, legal, accounting and other professional services through financial-service trials and regulatory easing. Its priorities are to retain wealth held by high-net-worth clients, channel capital into industries including semiconductors, AI and electric vehicles, and narrow the financial-development gap between northern and southern Taiwan.

At the Asian Asset Management Summit on July 8, 2026, Kaohsiung Deputy Mayor Lo Ta-sheng said the zone had completed its first year of operation. Its family-office services had served 161 clients, with nearly NT$71.2 billion in assets under management. The next phase will support the FSC’s expansion of cross-border financial services, build a cluster of financial and professional-service providers, and steer long-term capital toward Taiwan’s emerging industries.
