fixed-income investment financial

"Fixed-income investment: NT$21.7 billion of acquisition."

equity investment financial

"Equity investment: NT$7.3 billion of disposition."

An equity investment is buying ownership in a company by purchasing its shares, which gives you a claim on future profits and a portion of the company's value. It matters to investors because returns depend on the company’s growth and performance—like owning a slice of a pie that can grow or shrink—so you can gain through rising share prices or dividends but also risk losing value if the business falters.

capital appropriations financial

"The capital appropriations approved by TSMC board of directors: None."

unsecured bonds financial

"The unsecured bonds issued by TSMC and its subsidiaries: None."

Unsecured bonds are loans a company issues that are not backed by specific assets or collateral; investors rely on the issuer’s promise to pay rather than a claim on property if the company fails. They matter to investors because they carry higher risk than secured debt—so issuers usually pay higher interest—but also sit behind secured creditors in repayment order, which affects potential recovery if the issuer defaults.

cancellation of TSMC common shares financial

"The cancellation of TSMC common shares: None."
