The index reflects the performance of a portfolio that invests in the constantly innovating technology sector.
Simultaneously, Nomura Asset Management Taiwan will launch a new ETF named “NEXT FUNDS – Nomura TOPIX Feeder ETF” (Code:009812) designed to track the performance of the TOPIX in Taiwan, providing clients in Taiwan with access to the TOPIX ETF, the largest ETF in Japan, managed by Nomura Asset Management.
