About the Company
HOW INVESTECH INC., formerly a fintech company (How Invest), was established on March 21, 2016. Its core members consist of practical experts from UBS, which serves clients at the top of the wealth pyramid, Macquarie Capital Securities (MFG), a leader in investment research and analysis, as well as specialists in fields such as information engineering and big data management.
In May 2018, HOW INVESTECH INC. submitted an application to the Financial Supervisory Commission (hereinafter referred to as the FSC) in accordance with the "Financial Technology Development and Innovative Experimentation Act." On September 30, 2019, it was approved by the FSC to conduct innovative experimentation. Under the guidance of the FinTechSpace established by the Taiwan Financial Services Coalition (TFSC), it underwent an 18-month feasibility verification of "Fintech Innovative Experimentation" within the financial regulatory sandbox. Finally, on June 28, 2021, the FSC completed the commercialization of the relevant experiment and the amendment of laws, and the company restructured from a fintech company into a securities firm, renaming itself as HOW INVESTECH INC., becoming Taiwan's first online securities broker originating from a fintech company.
The HOW INVESTECH INC. platform (FundSwap) specializes in online transaction services for online mutual fund platforms. Targeting the new generation of customers who are less served by traditional financial services, it focuses on digital online account opening and trading services, providing a fully online account opening process and mutual fund trading services, including: (1) traditional fund subscription and redemption, and (2) innovative solutions for fund trading and swapping.
In traditional fund subscription and redemption transactions, HOW INVESTECH INC. leverages the power of technology to significantly lower the financial investment threshold, allowing investors to easily enjoy a service experience of "completely zero transaction fees" for fund subscriptions and redemptions. We style ourselves as the Robinhood of Taiwan, aiming to use a new-generation improved spirit of "connecting the wealthy to assist the common people" to help the wealthy undergo digital transformation using high-end wealth management technologies from private banking. In the process, the generated revenues will be mostly used to support ordinary people in the investment market, enabling them to obtain friendlier opportunities to participate in investment and wealth management, achieving financial democratization and making more people's lives better. Making investment simple, efficient, and affordable.
In the innovative fund trading and swapping model, it directly solves the problems of traditional fund subscriptions requiring a 1.5%-3% transaction fee and redemptions taking 5-7 days. It allows funds to be placed as orders just like stocks, with settlement completed on the same day, helping customers trade funds quickly and cost-effectively. This brings an upgraded financial service scenario and experience to investors, achieving "inclusive finance."
In addition, to ensure the security of customers' funds and securities assets, as well as online transaction security, HOW INVESTECH INC. has created the industry's only new standard that simultaneously features "triple protection." This includes: (1) users' investment "settlement funds" are delivered to a bank trust for custody; (2) "fund beneficiary certificates" are entrusted to the Taiwan Depository & Clearing Corporation (TDCC) for custody (users' inventory can be queried in the TDCC system); and (3) obtaining the international ISO 27001 information security certification. Compared to general bank channels or other fund sales institutions, this provides investors with more elements of peace of mind for their investments.
HOW INVESTECH INC. is a legal securities firm approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC License No. 110-Jin-Guan-Zheng-Zong-Zi-0038). The company has a qualified internal control system, has completed filing and obtained approval from the Securities Investment Trust and Consulting Association (SITCA), and has acquired the qualifications of a fund sales institution as well as the brokerage business qualification for the trading and swapping of fund beneficiary certificates. It is authorized to legally "sell," "trade, and swap" domestic funds (securities investment trust funds) and offshore funds (via master agents) in Taiwan.
