"Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have grown rapidly in Taiwan in recent years, specifically, high dividend ETFs have become an increasingly popular choice for investors. This study aims to examine the investment performance and tracking ability of domestic high dividend ETFs listed on Taiwan Stock Exchange. In our sample, Yuanta/P-shares Taiwan Dividend plus ETF (Yuanta 0056) gets the best average return and risk-adjusted performance. Furthermore, our regression results show that high dividend ETFs do not produce any significant excess return (positive or negative). The NAVPS (net asset value per shares) returns of the high dividend ETFs can be explained by the returns of their respective underlying indices. Whereas, the trading price returns are affected not entirely by the returns of underlying indices but also by the returns of the stock market. Tracking error estimators in trading price terms are higher than NAVPS tracking errors. The Yuanta Taiwan High Dividend Low Volatility ETF (Yuanta 00713) that adopts the optimized sampling method to replicate the underlying index does not necessarily have high tracking error. We also find that two high dividend ETFs that track low volatility indices do not inherently have low volatilities. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of the investment performance and tracking ability of high dividend ETFs and are of great relevance to academics, investors as well as the ETF providers." |
