An offshore fund manager or an institution appointed by the offshore fund manager ("offshore fund institution") shall appoint a single master agent to represent it in the offering and sale of its funds in Taiwan.
A master agent serving as agent in the offering and selling of offshore funds in Taiwan may represent no more than five offshore fund managers.
A sub-distributor may handle the offering and sale of one or more offshore funds in Taiwan.
Unless otherwise provided in these Regulations, the provisions hereof concerning master agents or sub-distributors shall apply to investment in offshore funds through trust enterprises under non-discretionary trust of money agreements or through securities brokers under foreign securities brokerage agreements.
Except in cases of investment in offshore funds through trust enterprises under non-discretionary trust of money agreements, a sub-distributor handling the purchase, redemption, or switch of an offshore fund by investors shall forward the transaction instructions to the offshore fund institution via the master agent.
A participating dealer processing or engaging in the purchase or redemption of offshore exchange traded funds (ETFs) shall do so by the method prescribed by the offshore fund institution, and is not required to go through the master agent when transmitting transaction instructions to the offshore fund institution.
