Promoting Taiwan as an Asia Asset Management Center

On September 10, 2024, the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) introduced three main initiatives: the Local Investment Trust Expansion Plan, the Stock Market Expansion Plan, and the Brokerage Asset Management Business Expansion Plan. Among these, the Stock Market Expansion Plan includes the IR Engage Platform (formerly known as the IR ESG Engage Platform), a project spearheaded by the Taiwan Stock Exchange Group with resource integration from its subsidiary, Taiwan Index Plus.

To encourage communication and engagement between publicly listed companies (especially small and medium-sized enterprises) and investors, and to increase the frequency and accessibility of investor conferences, Taiwan Index Plus has planned the development of the IR ESG Engage Platform (IR Engage) from a user-centered design perspective. This platform offers three main services: Investor Conference Services, ESG Value-Added Information Services, and Engagement Facilitation Services.

Main Services of the Platform

  • Investor Conference Services: By integrating resources from the Taiwan Stock Exchange and brokerage firms, this service provides companies with additional free venues and support, reducing the preparation burden of investor conferences, increasing their frequency, and strengthening corporate exposure and investor relations.
  • ESG Value-Added Information Services: Assists institutional investors in applying ESG data in the investment process for responsible investing. ESG data analysis also supports engagements between investors and companies, facilitating the implementation of responsible investing and sound governance.
  • Engagement Facilitation Services: Digitally facilitates engagements between institutional investors and publicly listed companies, enhancing bilateral communication opportunities and strengthening corporate ESG practices.
