US-headquartered JP Morgan Asset Management ( JPMAM ), following its inaugural exchange-traded fund ( ETF ) listing in Taiwan last year, has expanded its local ETF line-up with the listing of an actively managed derivative-income ETF, which invests in Taiwan equities.

The ETF, anchored by a disciplined covered call strategy designed with an aim to generate income, seeks to capture both income and growth exposures in Taiwan equities, states JPMAM, which globally manages over US$330 billion across 150 ETFs and ranks first in assets under management and net flows across active ETFs as of 2025.

By combining an actively managed equity portfolio with the sale of index options JPMAM aims to balance yield, potential capital appreciation and controlled risk, while presenting income opportunities and growth appreciation potential with reduced volatility.

“Building on last year’s inaugural ETF listing, further strengthening our presence in the local ETF space is a natural next step,” says Henry Tong, the asset manager’s CEO of Taiwan . “We continue to see sustained demand for income among local investors, alongside growing interest in staying invested in Taiwan’s equity market.

“By introducing the derivative-income ETF strategy, we aim to meet evolving investor needs and help address the challenge of choosing between growth- or income-focused ETFs. The listing will also further contribute to the depth and breadth of Taiwan’s ETF product range.”

Philippe El-Asmar, the asset manager’s head of Asia-Pacific ETF, digital and direct, adds: “As the world’s largest active ETF manager, covered call ETFs have been cornerstones of our ETF product suite, with robust interest seen across the US, Europe and Asia-Pacific. Extending our global active ETF expertise to Taiwan reflects our commitment to tailoring innovative investment solutions for local investors.”
