ENSimplification of Application Documents Required for Master Agents Filing in Taiwan
27 Jul 2026
The Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) announced amendments to the documentation requirements applicable to offshore fund master agents applying for approval to offer and sell offshore funds in Taiwan. The amendments took immediate effect upon announcement. The key focus of the amendment is the simplification of application documentation requirements, including allowing financial reports and prospectuses to be provided with relevant pages only, and exempting certain documents from redundant submission if they were previously approved. Furthermore, implementation status of personnel training plans are now replaced by a review statement issued by the internal auditor. Additionally, certain documentation requirements have been removed, and the completion method for the self-assessment checklist has been streamlined. Master agents planning to submit applications in the near future should take note of these changes and adjust their filing practices accordingly to facilitate a smoother application process.
