Taiwan is courting global money managers in London, pitching itself as Asia's next asset management hub — a positive push for Taiwan's capital markets if foreign capital follows.

• Taiwan's financial regulator, stock exchange, and finance training institute held a promotion forum in London on September 9 with UK group Z/Yen.
• The pitch: Taiwan wants to move from being a tech manufacturing center to a financial hub linking Asian and global capital.
• Officials leaned on Taiwan's semiconductor and AI strength, a resilient stock market, and a government policy push to build an Asia asset management center.
• Sustainable finance and ESG investing were front and center, aimed at attracting international funds looking for green assets.
• London was chosen deliberately — it is where the global asset management industry is concentrated.

Outlook: Expect more Taiwanese roadshows abroad and further market-opening steps as officials try to turn interest into actual foreign inflows.
