Taiwan Investors Retreat From US Bond ETFs After Buying Streak
This article is for subscribers only.
Taiwanese investors are fast pulling money out of local exchange-traded US bond funds, reversing an earlier trend that made them the biggest buyer group of such products in Asia.
Yuanta US Treasury 20+ Year Bond ETF, the largest Taiwan-domiciled US fixed income exchange-traded fund, has seen outflows totaling NT$46.9 billion ($1.6 billion) in the first four months this year after strong inflows last year. A similar outflow pattern can be observed in other bond ETFs as well, such as Cathay US Treasury 20+ YR ETF.
