JP Morgan Asset Management (JPMA) has rolled out its first actively managed exchange-traded fund (ETF) in Taiwan, expanding its presence in one of Asia’s fastest-growing investment markets.

The new product, listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange, is designed as a multi-asset growth strategy aimed at capturing opportunities across equities, bonds, and alternative assets.

Unlike traditional passive ETFs that track an index, JPMA’s active approach allows portfolio managers to adjust holdings in response to market conditions.

The strategy seeks to balance risk and return by dynamically allocating across global markets, offering Taiwanese investors a vehicle for diversification at a time of heightened macroeconomic uncertainty.

This marks the firm’s first active ETF in the market, although JPMA already manages a range of mutual funds and institutional mandates in Taiwan.

The launch comes as demand for ETFs in Taiwan continues to expand, with the market surpassing NT$3.5 trillion (approx. US$108 billion) in assets under management earlier this year, according to local financial regulators.

Global asset managers have been increasingly active in Taiwan’s ETF market, attracted by strong retail participation and growing adoption by institutional investors.

While domestic firms dominate the passive ETF segment, international players such as JPMA see active ETFs as a way to differentiate their offerings and capture investor interest in more flexible, risk-managed strategies.

For JPMA, the debut underscores its commitment to broadening its footprint in Asia.

The firm has emphasized that active ETFs could become an important tool for Taiwanese investors seeking resilience against market volatility and a complement to their traditional fund holdings.
