Tokyo, Japan – August 22, 2025 – Nomura Securities Co., Ltd. is pleased to announce a significant milestone in the development of cross-border investment opportunities with the successful first mutual listing of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) between Japan and Taiwan. This pioneering initiative, published on their official news release site at 07:30 JST today, marks a new era of accessibility for investors seeking to diversify their portfolios across these two dynamic Asian markets.
This groundbreaking collaboration facilitates the listing of Japanese ETFs on the Taiwan Stock Exchange and Taiwanese ETFs on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, thereby offering investors in both nations unprecedented direct access to each other’s capital markets. The move is expected to foster deeper economic ties and promote greater investment flows between Japan and Taiwan, two economies with strong complementary strengths and a shared commitment to innovation and growth.
The mutual listing aims to address the growing demand from investors for more convenient and cost-effective ways to access international equity markets. By enabling the direct listing of ETFs, Nomura Securities and its Taiwanese partners are simplifying the investment process, reducing transaction costs, and enhancing liquidity for a wider range of investment products. This initiative is anticipated to be particularly beneficial for retail investors who may previously have faced higher barriers to entry when investing in foreign markets.
For Japanese investors, this development opens up new avenues to gain exposure to the vibrant Taiwanese economy, renowned for its technological prowess, particularly in the semiconductor industry, as well as its robust manufacturing sector. Similarly, Taiwanese investors will now have a more streamlined pathway to invest in Japanese companies, benefiting from Japan’s diversified industrial landscape, its established global brands, and its leadership in areas such as automotive, advanced materials, and consumer goods.
Nomura Securities has expressed its commitment to supporting the growth and success of this new cross-border ETF ecosystem. The firm believes that by facilitating the mutual listing of ETFs, it is not only expanding investment choices for its clients but also contributing to the strengthening of financial market integration within Asia.
