[Reporter Huang Jingyu/Taipei Report] ETF is the preferred investment target of many people. However, in the past, after ETF ex-dividend, it usually took more than one month before the dividend was recorded in the account, and the "dividend income" and "capital" in the dividend were not announced in advance. The proportion of "income" affects investors' decision whether to participate in ex-dividend.

Legislator Lin Changzuo said that he has received confirmation from the Securities and Futures Bureau of the Financial Regulatory Commission today that the future ETF income distribution time should be 15 days after the ex-dividend base date at the earliest, which can be accelerated by about one week compared with the current situation.

Lin Changzuo once pointed out in the question that after the ex-dividend of ETFs, the time until the dividends are actually recorded is mostly about one month. If you compare the top 16 ETFs in the United States, 14 of them are recorded within 7 days, and 5 of them even only need 3 days. Today, Taiwan is obviously much slower, and the Chinese people mostly use the fixed-term investment model, and the dividends are recorded after one month, which means that investors have the potential to lose the investment performance of this month every year. Taiwan should compare foreign models. Get credited as soon as possible to avoid delays.

In addition, Lin Changzuo also pointed out that since the "dividend income" of constituent stocks involves tax credits and supplementary health insurance premiums, there is no "capital income" obtained due to the price difference when exchanging shares. Knowing the proportion of dividend income is not conducive to the public's financial planning.

Lin Changzuo said today that after several months of discussions and reviews with the Securities and Futures Bureau, he has received confirmation that in the future ETFs must announce the estimated dividend ratio at least 2 days before the ex-dividend trading day, and the new system will be released about one month later. In terms of speeding up the entry time of ETF dividends, the Securities and Futures Bureau also promises that the distribution time of ETF income in the future should be 15 days after the ex-dividend base date at the earliest. Compared with the current situation, dividends can be received by about 1 week faster.
