Portfolio Positioning

Risk Considerations
Key risks include geopolitical tensions in the Taiwan Strait, global semiconductor cycle downturns, and concentration in tech stocks. The portfolio’s diversification across sub-sectors (PCBs, thermal, memory, biotech, wafers) mitigates some single-stock risk.
What to Watch
- Global semiconductor demand indicators, especially from AI and data center markets.
- Taiwan’s export data and tech earnings reports in the coming weeks.
- Any policy changes or trade restrictions affecting Taiwan’s tech sector.
