Taipei, Nov. 11 (CNA) At a time when the local equity market has faced volatility, investors who have found it hard to pick a stock to invest have been advised by the Taiwan Stock Exchange to take a closer look at exchange traded funds (ETFs) for investments.

The TWSE, which operates the local main board, said that Taiwan has a diversified ETF product portfolio, which includes inverse and leveraged ETFs, to provide investors with more leeway for investments.

The TWSE said investors should make good use of inverse and leveraged ETFs in a volatile market so that they can enjoy good returns.

Inverse ETFs are expected to help investors hedge risks in a market downtrend, while leveraged ETFs are expected to help investors rake in more profits by doubling returns or even more at a time of a market uptrend.    [FULL  STORY]
