Allianz Global Investors Taiwan Launches First Overseas Active ETF Focused on U.S. AI and Chips2026-05-06 · 1 reports · similarity 0.84

Generative AI is fueling demand for data centers, advanced chips and cloud computing, while U.S. technology companies remain at the heart of global supply chains. Allianz Global Investors Taiwan is making its first foray into overseas active ETFs, aiming to use manager-led stock selection to target technology leaders with free cash flow, competitive moats and long-term growth potential. The approach is intended to reduce the concentration risk that can arise from simply tracking an index.

The firm has launched the Allianz U.S. Technology Leaders Active ETF (00402A), with fundraising scheduled to begin on May 22. Its investment themes include generative AI, semiconductors and related upstream and downstream supply chains. Stock selection will not rely solely on conventional price-to-earnings ratios. The fund will also assess corporate cash flow, industry position and the sustainability of earnings, actively adjusting its portfolio accordingly.
