The Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation, TSEC, has been established for 45 years since February of 1962. In the year of 1988, the Government allowed new security houses to set up. For the past 20 years, it made the Taiwan Stock market become more and more active. Especially, Taiwan stock market has invited lots of investors to get involved and showed their money to the world. At that time, Taiwan stock market Index also broke through the record high to 10 thousand points, but that was just an economic activity in the Island of Taiwan which did not let the capital market of Taiwan to get connected with global, so it did not have more interactions with the world. Till 1980, the Government formally opened foreign investors, Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (QFII) to invest in Taiwan’s capital market, then the banking internationalization can be approached and become the major source of power and energy for promotion of internal economic development. For the past 10 years, the Government continually extended foreign securities and future houses to set up their branches in Taiwan.

However, Government and regulator always do not have a well management in off-boarder funds. That is why regulator was asked to draw up related regulations. Thus Off-boarder fund is under governance of SFB. 1 August 2005 the Rules of off-boarder fund governance (境外基金管理辦法) was born. 1st August 2006 the structure of General Representative was also established. It made the market system more complete and transparent. Market activity and cash flow can also be monitored well by Government and CBC (Central bank of China).
By the way, many of Securities houses, banks and other Intermediaries be as the General Representative of various off-boarder funds in Taiwan, so as there are more and more off-boarder funds sold in Taiwan. Furthermore, local fund houses issued more and more offshore product fund, many scholars suspect all of these might cause huge money investing out of this country and not sure if impacted to local stock and mutual fund markets. Therefore, the major concern is arising from widely opening the off-boarder fund completely in local capital market is what this dissertation to study.
