The Taiwan Carbon Exchange was inaugurated last year and officially launched carbon credit trading this year, enabling companies to reduce emissions through the transfer and trading of carbon credits, thereby promoting domestic carbon reduction. Carbon credits, carbon fees, and carbon taxes are all carbon pricing tools; carbon credits allow companies to trade emissions quotas, while carbon fees and taxes are charged based on emissions volume. Taiwan's carbon credit market is currently focused on voluntary transactions. Key beneficiary stocks include companies in carbon offset forestry, green energy production, carbon capture, and carbon auditing. As the world advances toward net-zero emissions, these related industries are expected to see growth opportunities.

Gold has a wide range of uses, including jewelry, industrial applications, central bank reserves, and private investment. Its strong hedging characteristics make it particularly appealing to investors as a store of value, especially during periods of inflation and economic instability.

The net asset value (NAV) of an ETF refers to the total actual value of all the underlying investments, while the market price of an ETF refers to the price at which it is traded by investors in the secondary market. When there is a difference between the NAV and the market price, it may indicate different market expectations regarding the future performance of the ETF.
The ETF Income Equalization reserve is established to prevent significant fluctuations in fund interest rates due to large capital flows. It is another source of distributions for fund companies aside from capital gains and stock dividends. It essentially returns the money contributed by investors back to them in a different form.

Options are a type of financial derivative that combines both "rights" and "obligations." The advantage of options lies in leverage, allowing one to pay only a portion of the premium while obtaining the right to trade in the future. The rights, obligations, profits, and risks of options will vary depending on whether one is the buyer or the seller.

Foreign exchange (forex) refers to foreign currencies. When we treat foreign currencies as a commodity and trade them with domestic currency at an agreed price (exchange rate), it is called forex trading. Exchange rates in banks can be simply divided into cash rate or spot rate, depending on whether cash transactions are involved.

In simple terms, futures are a type of financial contract for trading goods in the future. The buyer and seller agree to trade a specific commodity at a certain price at a certain time. By using futures contracts, both parties can lock in the future transaction price of the commodity, thereby avoiding price volatility risks. Futures contracts can be broadly classified into two categories: commodity futures and financial futures.

Funds generally pool the money of many people together and, based on their purpose and the participants involved, can be divided into different types. They can be broadly categorized according to the participants, investment targets, geographic investment areas, investment risks, and issuance locations. When considering which type of fund to invest in, apart from type and risk level, one should also consider the tax differences between domestic and foreign funds.
# Mutual Funds
Bonds create a legally binding debt relationship between the buyer and seller, using “the bond” as evidence. Although some are zero-coupon bonds, generally, bonds provide investors with a certain interest rate. Bonds are usually rated for creditworthiness to assess repayment ability. Bonds typically carry lower risk and volatility, and they have the characteristic of fixed income.
