“This is the first battery and energy storage technology thematic ETF listed in Taiwan,” said Magnus Cattan, Head of ICE Fixed Income & Data Services, Asia Pacific. “This product will help customers capture this growing megatrend, which is a key foundation for other industries such as electric vehicles and renewables. ICE continues to expand its reach in Asia and is supporting its customers to offer products that capture the trends that are shaping our world.”
“Selecting the ICE index for CTBC’s Battery and Energy Storage Technology ETF is a tremendous amplifier of our mission of bringing a greener future, and we truly believe the cooperation will bear more fruit,” said Eric Chang, President of CTBC Investments.
