The value of TWSE and TPEx traded securities except central book-entry bonds, municipal bonds, common corporate bonds, secured convertible (exchangeable) corporate bonds, and financial bonds is 60 percent, and that of securities not eligible for margin purchase and short sale is 40 percent, of the closing price on the business day immediately prior to the application for financing.
  2. The value of beneficial certificates of open-end funds traded on the TPEx is 60 percent of their NAV of the business day immediately prior to financing. The value of physical gold is 60 percent of the Closing Average of the business day immediately prior to the application for financing.
