Video Overview
The writer plans to hold Taiwan-listed ETFs in a portfolio that can support securities-backed borrowing. He imagines retiring with NT$50 million, borrowing NT$750,000 a year for living expenses, and then seeing the portfolio fall to NT$25 million after seven or eight years. With cumulative borrowing of roughly NT$5.25 million to NT$6 million, he asks whether the same annual amount could continue once debt exceeds 20% of the reduced portfolio. He also asks why 00662 and 00670L can move differently, when rebalancing is possible, and what to consider when choosing a pledge provider. The speaker answers from his own historical modeling, advocates a 433 allocation with more than 30% cash for pledged portfolios, attributes the ETF difference to currency exposure and hedging, and states a personal preference for stable lending terms.
