Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jan 14 | Quarterly earnings | Positive | +0.1% | Reported strong NAV growth and outperformance versus TAIEX benchmark for the quarter. |
| Dec 15 | Distribution declaration | Positive | +2.1% | Declared total cash distributions per share with detailed capital gains breakdown. |
| Oct 20 | Tender offer policy | Positive | +2.5% | Announced conditional tender offer tied to five‑year NAV performance vs TAIEX index. |
Recent news events (earnings, distributions, tender policy) have generally seen modestly positive price reactions, suggesting the stock often responds constructively to corporate updates.
Over the past few months, TWN reported strong quarterly results with NAV per share at $67.52 and a 14.19% total return for the quarter ended Nov 30, 2025. It also declared total distributions of $6.2002 per share payable in early Jan 2026. In Oct 2025, TWN adopted a conditional tender offer policy linked to five‑year NAV outperformance versus the TAIEX Total Return Index. Today’s NAV-calculation notice fits into this pattern of fund-structure and shareholder-information updates.

This announcement clarifies that TWN’s net asset value will be calculated from February 12–20, 2026 using Taiwan Stock Exchange prices as of February 11, 2026, adjusted for currency movements, while the TSE is closed for Lunar New Year. This procedural step helps maintain transparency around NAV reporting. In context of recent earnings, distributions, and the conditional tender policy, it underscores ongoing communication about how the fund manages and reports shareholder value metrics.
