“We’re delighted to expand our indices offering with the launch of TAIEX,” said Faizan Anees, Director and Co-founder at ThinkMarkets. “This index is perfect for traders seeking exposure to the Taiwanese stock market and the broader Asian region. One of our main goals at ThinkMarkets is to continually grow and expand the selection of instruments we offer to our clients, and the introduction of TAIEX is a further testament to this.”
