Taiwanese retailers bought a record net amount of U.S. assets last year as households look beyond traditional insurance products in search of higher returns. Bloomberg writes about it. Retail investors bought about NT$105.5 billion ($3.2 billion) in U.S. stocks, exchange-traded funds and bonds in 2024, an all-time high, according to data from the Taiwan Securities Association. Taiwanese investment inflows into the three U.S. assets also hit record levels last year.Advertisement: The shift to foreign instruments is also taking place in other parts of Asia. In Japan, demand from retail investors for foreign stocks is weighing on the yen, adding to downside risks posed by Donald Trump’s tariffs and a wide interest rate gap with the US.
