Preface (Message from the Chairman) As international economic tensions ease after global financial turmoil, the financial supervision system in Taiwan has improved significantly. The government continues to adopt liberalization policies such as launching RMB denominated money management services after signing the memorandum of cross-straits monetary settlement. Under these favorable conditions, trust enterprises have grasped opportunities to promote new trust products and build stable relationships with clients and beneficiaries. The Trust Association of the Republic of China (TAROC) has made a proposal to the government calling for relaxed restrictions on the businesses of Collective Investment Trust Funds and Collective Trust Funds as well as improvement in taxation system of the former so that trust enterprises are able to develop customized trust products for professional and non-professional investors of clients. Trust enterprises have also benefitted from developing their assets management businesses. 2013 ANNUAL REPORT Furthermore, the regulatory agency of trust-related businesses announced that the advance payment paid for presale houses (either for service or product) is subject to regulations of the trust system in order to protect consumers’ rights. To cope with this policy, TAROC has continuously drafted self-regulation and formulated the reference template of “advance payment trust service for commodity (service) gift certificate” contract, as well as the “Purchase Fund Trust” contract and the “Real Estate Development Trust” contract regarding the contract-implementation guarantee mechanism proposed for the standardized contract of presale house transactions, so that trust 04 enterprises can carry out internal risk control, in compliance with the laws governing the obligations of goodwill managers. In response to the U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), the regulatory agency has helped TAROC to fully express its viewpoints to the U.S. government regarding exemption of certain trust products from the U.S. new tax policy, including will trust, employee’s shareholding trust, presale house purchase fund trust, real estate development trust, advance payment trust, charity fund trust and others. This has greatly relieved the potential impact of FATCA on Taiwan’s trust enterprises. In order to promote competitiveness of Taiwan’s financial industry, the regulatory agency would continue to push for financial liberalization and “overall opening; grading management” policy for financial product sales. Meanwhile, liberalization allows greater flexibility for banks’ international departments to operate offshore banking units and offshore securities units so as to provide investors with even more service choices and boost future development of Taiwan’s trust industry. TAROC will continue to make concrete suggestions in line with the government’s policy and related regulations, propose self-regulation, strengthen research on trust businesses, and take additional action to help TAROC Members expand their business range and promote the overall competitiveness of Taiwan’s trust industry to secure long-term development of Taiwan’s trust enterprises.

Operations Outline of Trust Enterprises http://www.trust.org.tw 13 1. Historic Development of Trust Industry in Taiwan Given the popular application of trust services in the U.S., Europe, and Japan, as well as the longterm positive effect of trust business on national economic development and assets management of the people in Taiwan, the ROC government published the “Trust Law” and “Trust Enterprise Act” in 1996 and 2000, respectively, marking a milestone for Taiwan’s trust industry. The “Trust Law” defines trust III. Operation Outline of Trust Enterprises III. Operations Outline of Trust Enterprises business and interprets related legal relations, whereas the “Trust Enterprise Act” regulates operations of trust enterprises. Both were formulated to promote development of Taiwan’s trust industry and secure healthy operations of trust enterprises. After the announcement of the “Trust Law,” the trust investment companies and the bankoperated trust divisions, which were previously set up and run in accordance with Chapter 6 on “trust enterprises” and “trust business” of the Banking Act of the Republic of China, have been transformed based on the government’s guidelines. The trust investment companies were either transformed into commercial banks or applied trust enterprise certificate by the designated date. Meanwhile, the banks with a trust division previously have also adjusted their trust business by the designated date in accordance with the law. Both of them, nonetheless, were the pioneers of Taiwan’s trust industry, paving a foundation for the development of the industry. From 2011, the securities firms with trust division are also included into the list of trust operators. During the 2000s, the wealth management and personal trust business saw rapid development in Taiwan, thanks to the fast-growing global economy, the accumulated wealth of Taiwan’s people, and the domestic low-interest investment environment at that time. Those banks and their trust divisions previously possessed experience in using trust funds to make overseas securities investments. With the advantage of their wide-ranging sales network, these banks soon developed the business of making overseas securities investments by using the Mon-discretionary Money Trust (Specific Pecuniary Trust) Fund, designated by their clients, and at the same time consequently opened new trust businesses such as Collective Investment Trust Funds and Collective Trust Funds. The “Financial Asset Securitization Act” and the “Real Estate Securitization Act” were announced in 2002 and 2004, respectively, creating a market for securitized products. Because the entrusted managers’ commitment for fulfilling their obligations have been highly trusted on the market, a trust mechanism is applied to the market of securitized products where the trust enterprises play the role of issuers, and it has paved a sound foundation for future development of Taiwan’s securitization market. The “Securities Investment Trust and Consulting Act,” published in 2004, stipulates that the custodian banking services for securities investment trust funds should be conducted by either trust enterprises or those banks offering trust services. Regarding the gradual opening of Taiwan’s securities market to foreign investors, the “Regulations Governing Investment in Securities by Overseas Chinese provide custodian banking services to overseas Chinese and foreign investors. Trust enterprises are highly counted on in Taiwan, taking the responsibilities of protecting various assets and funds for investors. 2013 ANNUAL REPORT and Foreign Nationals” also requires that only the government-approved financial institutions can 14 Observing the risk protection and security functions of trust services, the Consumer Protection Foundation, Ministry of the Interior (MOI) and other related institutions have made innovative application of the trust mechanism for risk protection, such as trust services for 9-21 disaster area assets management, pre-death contract of funeral service companies, advance payment for goods (service), presale house purchase fund, and others. All of these are innovative trust services, using the trust mechanism to protect the rights of consumers. As of the end of 2013, money trust remained the major trust service in Taiwan, accounting for 87%, or over NT$6.6 trillion, of the total trust market value in Taiwan. Within money trust, nondiscretionary money trusts takes the lion’s share with NT$2.9 trillion. However, real estate trust grew the fastest, by 16% in 2013, with total trust value of over NT$500 billion. 2. Introduction of Trust Business Most TAROC Members provide money trust as their primary business, of which the Nondiscretionary Money Trust (Specific Pecuniary Trust) takes the largest percentage. In recent years, the money trust sector grew at a slower pace mainly because Taiwan’s investors turned more conservative after the outbreak of the global financial crisis that led to shrinkage in the securitization business. Fortunately, international funds flow into Taiwan’s stock market, pushing up the business of custodian banking service for international funds. Meanwhile, the self-regulations for advance payment trust have been formulated and trust service, combining real estate trusts and bank financing services, has become the fastest-growing business of most TAROC member companies. The following is an outline of the major trust businesses in Taiwan: A. Money Trust Money trust is now the business focus of most trust enterprises in Taiwan. The Nondiscretionary Money Trust (Specific Pecuniary Trust) started from the 1980s when the Central Bank of China (CBC) strictly controlled the forex market and, in a bid to direct the flow of domestic excess funds, allowed government-designated financial institutions to make overseas securities investments on behalf of their clients. Given the “Securities Investment Trust and Consulting Act” that defines the legal trustees as fund sales outlets, Non-discretionary Money Trust (Specific Pecuniary Trust) Fund has created a major channel for domestic investors to make overseas securities investments, and thus become the major trust business of the banks with a trust division. http://www.trust.org.tw Yet, under the impact of the 2008 global financial crisis, Taiwan’s trust market grew at a slower pace over the past five years. In order to restore financial market order, countries around the world re-examined their financial monitoring systems. Taiwan thus announced the “Financial Consumer Protection Act” and built the legal framework for structured financial products, requiring mandatory classification of clients, full understanding of clients, and introduction of proper financial products to the right clients. Meanwhile, the government made amendments to the “Uniform 15 In order to cope with the government’s financial liberalization policy and to encourage trust enterprises to introduce new trust products, TAROC requested the government to revise the “Regulations on the Management of Common Trust Funds” and the “Regulations on the Management of Collective Investment Trust Funds” in a bid to relax regulations on the two trust businesses and broaden the investment scope for the collective investment trust funds so as to create a favorable environment for TAROC Members to develop their assets management businesses. III. Operation Outline of Trust Enterprises Guidelines for Disclosure of Information of Non-discretionary Money Trust” as well as related regulations and self-regulations. To cope with all the new rules, TAROC Members have adjusted their internal regulations and business frameworks. As a result, the market of Non-discretionary Money Trust has seen slower growth. The TAROC will continue to help member companies solve problems encountered in their businesses and at the same time propose suggestions to the regulatory agency for greater flexibility within the legal framework. B. Advance Payment Trust With regards to many companies issue gift certificates, coupons, magnetic cards, chip cards, electronic ticket certificates, etc. to collect advance payments from consumers and defer providing of commodities or services, the regulatory agencies have required them to use advance payment trust as one of the alternatives for protection of the rights of their consumers. In order to help TAROC Members secure healthy operations, figure out rational costs and budgets, and reinforce risk control, TAROC revised the guidelines for TAROC Members in doing advance payment trust business and formulated reference template for the contracts to be used for advance payment trust business, and providing consulting service to regulatory agencies for their questions regarding how to use trust mechanism to protect rights of consumers. C. Real Estate Development Trust The trust services for real estate properties help facilitate fund raising and management, and the funds are managed by the entrusted banks in order to have the funds kept in special accounts for special-purpose usage, the means to secure smooth proceeding of a construction project and protect the rights of purchasers. In 2011, the Ministry of the Interior (MOI) required that the “Purchase Fund Trust” and “Real Estate Development Trust” be added to the fulfillment-guarantee mechanism formulated for the “Standardized Contract Regarding Pre-sale Housing Transactions.” 2013 ANNUAL REPORT In recent years, the real estate market saw a growing demand and that has accordingly resulted in fast growth in real estate trust business. In order to help TAROC Members assess hidden risks and sensibly define related obligations and responsibilities, TAROC will continue doing research on how to use real estate trusts to secure completion of a construct project and remind TAROC Members of the important matters that they should not neglect. In addition, the TAROC proposed templates of the “Purchase Fund Trust” and “Real Estate Development Trust” contracts, formulated to guarantee full execution of the “Standardized Contract Regarding Pre-sale Housing Transactions” so that TAROC Members will have guidelines to follow. They help clearly define obligations and interest of pre-sale house providers, buyers, as well as TAROC Members, and meanwhile build a business operation model as a reference for TAROC Members. 16 As for development of the overall trust market, TAROC proposed suggestions to be included in the 2013 Financial White Paper published by the Taiwan Financial Services Roundtable Co. While the government made an overwhelming review of the pension fund management system and introduced the “Labor Autonomic Investment” policy, TAROC proposed the labor autonomic investment framework under a trust mechanism, and made suggestions regarding all prospects of cash flow and information flow. To cope with the government’s “2nd-generation National Health Insurance” policy, the TAROC have discussed with government’s officials about the difficulties for trust enterprises to deduct fund from trust products for paying the supplementary insurance premium, suggesting that some trust products or services should be exempt from the “2ndgeneration National Health Insurance” policy. The trust is an assets management system which features a high trust relationship. In order to protect the interest of clients and beneficiaries as well as help trust enterprises keep healthy operations, the regulatory agency put much stress on self-discipline of TAROC Members. In this regard, the TAROC will continue to act as a bridge facilitating communications between the government and trust enterprises, publicize the trust concept, and promote mutual benefits among trust enterprises so that the trust services of diverse functions will make contributions to the development of Taiwan’s financial market and the welfare of the whole society. http://www.trust.org.tw 17 A. Business Activities of Trust Enterprises As of the end of 2013, there had been 53 members in the TAROC. There were 46 banks and 7 securities firms doing trust business concurrently. Among major trust businesses authorized by the competent authority, most trust enterprises conducted money trust, securities trust, encumbrance and related security interests trust, real estate trust, and so forth. Supplementary trust businesses conducted by trust enterprises included custody businesses, attestation for the issuance of securities, advisory services for issuance and offering of securities, and acting as agents for the issuance, transfer, registration, and payment of interests and dividends of securities.

Meanwhile, 15,527 persons registered for the computerized exams and 11,791 persons actually took the tests, with 4,995 persons passing the test yielding a test passing rate of 42.36%. As per Article 16 of the "Guidelines for the Qualifications of Responsible Persons of Trust Business and Special Knowledge or Experience Requirement," those who would like to work as trust business representatives could first take the securities investment trust qualification test held by any institution approved by the Securities Investment Trust and Consulting Association (SITCA) and then take the "Test on Trust Law and Regulations" arranged by TAROC-approved institutions. TAROC authorized TABF to arrange the "Test on Trust Law and Regulations" in 2013, who held the 17th and 18th tests in 2013. The 216 persons registered for the written exams and 202 persons actually took the exams, with 162 persons passing the test and hitting a high test-passing rate of 80.2%. 848 persons registered for the computerized exams and 762 persons actually took the test, with 604 persons passing the test giving a test-passing rate of 79.27%.

Convening Regular Meetings In 2013, TAROC held one General Assembly of Members as well as 12 Board of Directors Meetings and seven Board of Supervisors Meetings, during which 57 projects of reports were approved, 36 proposals passed, 4 projects to be confirmed later, five kept for further check, and three elections held (105 projects in total). Each project, proposed by either committees or ad hoc groups under TAROC, would receive final decision after being approved at the meetings of board members or supervisors. TAROC would then report it to the regulatory agencies, forward it to related institutions for their reference, or notify TAROC Members of it for them to follow. For efficient implementation of association affairs, TAROC set up five committees including Business Development, Legal Affairs and Disciplines, Auditing and Advising, Finance and Taxation, and Administration and Training, each with a director, a deputy director, members, and secretariat staff. Each committee convenes meetings, regularly or non-regularly based on the needs of operations. C. Observing Trust Business In order to learn about the practices and latest developments of Japan’s trust market, TAROC organized a delegation to visit Tokyo for seven days, from Oct. 27 to Nov. 2, 2013. The delegation was composed of 17 board members, supervisors, and high-ranking officials of TAROC. The main purpose of this trip was to visit Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation (MUTB), which gave a detailed introduction to the TAROC delegation of its Japanese Depositary Receipts (JDR) business and the role that it played in this business. Both sides had full discussions and exchanged viewpoints. This sharing of experiences increased the feasibility for Taiwan-Japan cooperation in trust business and created new directions of thinking which are helpful for the overall development of trust business in Taiwan. http://www.trust.org.tw ▍The TAROC delegation composed of board members, supervisors, and high-ranking executives make a trust business inspection trip in Japan. 25 TAROC regularly arranges recreational and social activities for members to foster friendship and help them relax from the pressures at work. The one-day trip to Zhishan Cultural & Ecological Garden, held on July 20, 2013, had nearly one hundred participants, including board members, supervisors, committee members, member representatives, and working staff of the Association.

Made the following suggestions in support to the “2013 Financial White Papers” published by the Taiwan Financial Services Roundtable Co.: to allow trust enterprises to serve as trustee for labor pension funds; to levy tax on the benefits yielded by Collective Investment Trust Funds based on the time of benefitdistribution; to allow trust enterprise to use common Trust Funds to make securities investments without having to apply for operating securities investment trust service first; to allow trust enterprises to serve as trustee for the insurance premium defined in Article 138-2 of Insurance Law (regarding the insurance to have other people as beneficiary); to allow the foreign company with shareholders from China to apply for FINI status; to relaxed restrictions on the employee bonus systems of listed companies. All these suggestions were proposed to activate Taiwan’s trust enterprise. 2. Compiled TAROC’s opinions on the government-proposed “Labor Self-managed Investment” policy, divided into five categories: “Self-managed investment framework for labor retirement fund,” “Target types and investment models of self-managed fund,” Investment target verification and supervision,” “Introduction of proper investment targets and choices to laborers,” and “Related taxation issues,” and made suggestions regarding the qualifications of the trust companies interested in serving as trusted institutions for the labor self-managed investment fund and taking charge of building up the fund’s investment platform where the investment targets and choices should be approved by the regulatory agencies, and reported it to the Banking Bureau of the FSC. 3. Compiled TAROC’s opinions regarding the “Supplementary Insurance Premium of the National Health Insurance (NHI) Program” published by the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MHW) and the proposed “2ndgeneration NHI Pamphlet” jointly drafted by the National Health Insurance Administration (NHIA) and the 2013 ANNUAL REPORT ▍The TAROC arranges social activity for members. 26 MHW, requesting that the custodian business for the securities investment trust fund and futures trust fund should be exempted from this Program and that the income generated by Collective Investment Trust Funds should not be subject to the requirement of the Supplementary Insurance Premium, and notified TAROC Members of it after receiving the MHW’s agreement for adopting these opinions. 4. Proposed to request the FSC to refer to the Non-Reporting Products list stated in the U.S. FATCA requirements and to add items of trust service such as the government fund (labor insurance fund, laborer retirement fund) trust, charity fund trust, and employees’ shareholding trust among others. B. Money Trust 1. Proposed revisions to the “Regulations on the Management of Common Trust Funds” to help TAROC Members promote mutual fund trust business, suggesting the removal of the requirement that trust companies should not provide these two trust services without operating mutual fund business and to relax the requirement that each mutual fund should have at least one full-time manager authorized to manage the fund, as well as made revisions to related regulations on fund’s investment targets and limitations, and reported this issue to the FSC. 2. For proposing amendment to the “Regulations on the Management of Collective Investment Trust Funds” in a bid to promote healthy development of the market, TAROC referred to the “Financial Consumer Protection Act” and the “Regulations Governing the Scope of Business, Restrictions on Transfer of Beneficiary Rights, Risk Disclosure, Marketing, and Conclusion of Contract by Trust Enterprises,” proposing to classify clients (cosigners) into two types of non-professional investors and professional investors, and add extra requirements on investments targets, limitations, as well as other related issues of fund’s liquid assets holdings, and reported it to the FSC. 3. Compiled questions and opinions of fund custodian institutions on how to transmit electronic fund management information to help TAROC Members facilitate their digitalized monthly fund management report checking procedures as well as for TAROC to know the test result of fund custodian institutions’ digitized fund report checking procedures, and will continue to discuss with the Securities Investment Trust & Consulting Association of the ROC (SITCA) how to improve this issue. 4. Compiled TAROC’s opinions on SITCA-drafted “Classification Criteria and Guidelines for fund’s Investment Risks” in accordance with the FSC’s instruction, and replied to the FSC. 5. Regarding SITCA’s proposal in accordance with the FSC’s instruction to request the general agent of offshore fund sales to make payment of sales bonus to domestic fund distributors rather than for offshore fund institutions to directly make this payment, TAROC suggested that the offshore fund sales outlets, when reporting sales bonus, should also inform the general agent, and notified TAROC Members of it after the suggestion was adopted by the FSC. 6. Suggested improvements to SITCA regarding its letter inquiring about related enterprises and the difficulties in forwarding meeting notices for securities investment fund beneficiaries and feasible solutions for raising the effective feedback rate. SITCA forwarded these suggestions to the FSC for its review. http://www.trust.org.tw 7. Proposed TAROC’s opinions as a reply to the request of the Insurance Bureau, FSC, regarding whether the claim settlement payment could be considered as entrusted properties in the cases in which, according to the new policy proposed by The Life Insurance Association of the Republic of China (LIAROC), a trust company is allowed to pay insurance fees on behalf of its client, and notified TAROC Members of this after the Insurance Bureau confirmed to adopted these opinions. 27 1. The TAROC Members, based on self-discipline rules, should figure out rational cost and expense for their advance payment trust business. In accordance with the FSC’s instructions, TAROC proposed revisions to the “Guidelines for TAROC Members in Doing Advance Payment Trust Business,” adding regulations on calculating business’ profits and revising the conditions for terminating contracts before their expiration dates, and notified TAROC Members of this after reporting to the FSC. IV. Business Report C. Advance Payment Trust 2. Revised reference template of the “Trust Contract for Advance Payment Collection for Commodity (Service) Gift Certificate—(for total amount control) and the “Trust Contract for Advance Payment Collection for Commodity (Service) Gift Certificate” (for installment management) based on the revisions of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MEA) to the “Requirements and Prohibited Items to Be Stated in Retailed Commodity (Service) Gift Certificate” and the FSC’s instruction, and has notified TAROC Members of it after receiving the FSC’s approval. 3.

D. Real Estate Trust 1. In accordance with the FSC’s instruction for effectively regulating the obligations and responsibilities of presale house providers, consumers, and TAROC Members, TAROC formulated reference template of the “Purchase Fund Trust” contract and the “Real Estate Development Trust” contract regarding the contractimplementation guarantee mechanism proposed for the standardized contract of presale house transactions, and notified the MOI and TAROC Members of it after receiving the FSC’s approval. 2. Compiled TAROC’s opinions on questions about the “special account fund” of the “Purchase Fund Trust” and the “Real Estate Development Trust” associated with the contract-implementation guarantee mechanism proposed for the standardized contract of presale house transactions, and notified TAROC Members of it after receiving the MOI’s approval.

Providing Education and Training a. As stated in the "Guidelines for the Qualifications of Responsible Person of Trust Business and Special Knowledge or Experience Requirement," the supervisor and manager personnel can earn credits to obtain a certificate by giving trust-related lectures at university or taking TAROC designated training courses. They will be able to obtain the certificate after completing the training program. In 2013, TAROC approved a total of 163 training courses arranged by the Taiwan Academy of Banking and Finance, Securities & Futures Institute, and Taipei Foundation of Finance. In 2013, a total of 5,463 persons completed these courses and obtained qualification certificates. These courses provide multiple opportunities for training for those who would like to build a career in trust business. b. Under the "Guidelines for the Qualifications of Responsible Persons of Trust Business and Special Knowledge or Experience Requirement," any new trust workers should take both pre-job and on-the-job training courses. In 2013, 6,081 trainees and 11,225 trainees participated in these respectively. 3. Conferences, seminars, presentations, and trust promotion activities http://www.trust.org.tw a.

In 2013, the Master’s thesis which won the subsidy was on the topic of "Legal System and Practice of Will Trust Acts In Taiwan and Japan" by a graduate student at the Chung Yuan Christian University. G. Auditing Finance and Business of Members Under the "Regulations on the Operations of the Trust Association," TAROC should make audits of members’ financial condition and business. In accordance with the government-approved "Regulations on Auditing Finance and Business of TAROC Members and Regulations on Special Auditing and Advisory Assistance to TAROC Members", TAROC should regularly check members’ financial condition and provide assistance to help them establish an internal control system. TAROC has made annual inspections of members' operations and financial conditions and provided advisory assistance. The annual inspection consists of two parts including reviewing financial reports and making field examinations. http://www.trust.org.tw 1. Review of Financial Reports: under the reinforcement rules of the Trust Enterprise Act, trust enterprises should make business and financial reports within two months after a six months of operation and make annual business and financial reports within four months after one-year of operation. TAROC will review their financial reports based on the Main Points on Financial Report Inspection for TAROC Members. In 2013, it reviewed 53 annual reports for 2012 and 53 semi-annual reports for the first half of 2013, and then submitted review results to the FSC. 2. Field Examination: in 2013, TAROC randomly selected 8 members for the field examination at either their headquarters or branch offices. It made the inspection to ensure that members operate under reliable internal control system and provided advisory assistance if necessary. TAROC reported inspection result to the FSC. Most inspected members have made improvement to their internal control systems. 31 The “trust” market system developed in Taiwan for over the last 10 years. The operational platform of the IV. Business Report 3. 2014 Business Highlights trust system has gradually grown from the early stages, emerging to now become an integral part of wealth management and of assets portfolios of the people in Taiwan, closely integrated into the daily life of the people in today’s society. We expect the Trust business to grow based on the strengthened legal framework so as to develop local financial products, and to enhance the international asset management capabilities and innovate into a more resilient and flexible business model. Therefore, we will continue our efforts to pave a sound foundation for long-term development of the trust market in Taiwan and will promote its operations in the following directions in the coming year: A. Association Affairs 1. To strengthen training of specialized trust staff workers : Currently, these TAROC Members are either the banks or securities firms with trust divisions where the working staff usually should be rotated with those of other divisions. In order to help the new trust division workers become professional, acquire practice and legal framework for trust business, and build communication channels, TAROC plans a series of trust training courses. Through lectures of legal concepts as well as discussions at workshops and seminars, these courses cover a broad range of trust knowledge including money trust, securities investment trust, personal trust (including public charity trust), application and practice of trust law and regulations, and so on. 2. Arranging proficient promotional activities: In order to introduce “trust” to the people of special needs in an even more concrete and specific way, TAROC will continue to cooperate with government agencies, charity organizations, medical institutions, and social welfare units, arranging professional trust lectures for them and holding other trust promotional activities. Meanwhile, TAROC will create various promotional publications for the elderly people, physically-handicapped people, children, and other special groups of people, and distribute them to interested institutions and individuals. These efforts are made to help those interested better understand the benefits of trusts and bring more benefits to the society through “trust” services. 2013 ANNUAL REPORT 32 B. Business Activities 1. To draft revisions to guidelines and related regulations of “Collective Investment Trust Funds” and “Collective Trust Funds” In order to promote the assets management service of trust enterprises, TAROC will draft revisions to the “Regulations on the Management of Collective Investment Trust Funds” and the “Regulations on the Management of Common Trust Funds” as reference of the regulatory agency, and will continue to draft revisions for other related FSC-published regulations. 2. To draft standard procedures for trust enterprises to process trust beneficiary right transfer In order to protect the rights of trust clients, the FSC wrote an instruction letter to TAROC, stating that the trust enterprises, which provide advance payment trust service with contract-implementation guarantee mechanism, should not agree to transfer related beneficiary rights. The FSC also asked TAROC to draft standard procedures for the cases where the trust enterprises could transfer trust beneficiary rights for the trust service without contract-implementation guarantee mechanism in accordance with Article 19, paragraphs 1-3, of the “Regulations Governing the Scope of Business, Restrictions on Transfer of Beneficiary Rights, Risk Disclosure, Marketing, and Conclusion of Contract by Trust Enterprises.” TAROC will make standard procedures for the beneficiary right transfer for TAROC Members to follow. 3. To help TAROC Members conduct research on legal frameworks and practices of trust business a. In Taiwan, there are increasing cases where the government proposed development plans for the stateowned land which is not open for use of the public. In this regard, TAROC would make a “Study on surface right trust and its practices” on the role of trust enterprises as well as their rights and guidelines of their services in the beginning, middle, final, and post-construction periods, or even the period after termination of trusteeship for land development trust projects. b. In response to the government’s policy by establishing Free Economic Pilot Zones and Taiwan’s trust enterprises could develop similar businesses in the OBU and OSU, TAROC would refer to the related regulations and practices of Hong Kong and Singapore, and make a “Feasibility study of offshore trusts Development” on regulations, operational model, and current development. c. To enable the legal system which defines the guardianship, guardianship order, and assistance order be efficiently implemented, the TAROC will make a “Study on relationship among guardian, assistant, and trust supervisor defined in Civil Law for trust cases” to research the legal issues involved with the trust cases where the clients (cosigners) or beneficiaries who are without capacity or with limited capacity to perform judicial acts, as well as how to formulate the legal framework and contract template for such trust services. 4. To continue to help TAROC Members follow self-discipline regulations and secure healthy internal control In accordance with the "Regulations on the Operations of the Trust Association," TAROC will oversee and inspect the financial condition of members and set up a self-discipline committee which will examine the news and advertisements published by members on mass media, as well as watch over other related issues. It's helpful to raise the overall competitiveness of the trust enterprises in Taiwan. P http://www.trust.org.tw IV. Business Report V. Appendix: Directory of Members P 33 2013 ANNUAL REPORT 34 V.
