Newtalk新聞 全球投資市場進入「新常態」，地緣政治風險、人工智慧（AI）科技浪潮及供應鏈重組，正加速改變全球資產配置趨勢。隨著台灣財富持續累積，資產管理產業也迎來新一波發展契機。 國泰金控（2882）今（30）日舉辦「2026 國泰資產管理高峰會」，以「引領新常態：打造穩健投資新典範」為題，邀集貝萊德、PIMCO（品浩）、摩根大通、摩根士丹利、高盛及路博邁等國際投資機構專家，與國泰團隊共同探討全球經濟、AI 科技趨勢及供應鏈變化，並由彭博專業人士擔任引談人。活動吸引近 1.2 萬人報名，現場及線上同時觀看人數突破 8,000 人。 隨資產管理業務持續擴張，國泰投信也宣布透過雙投資長制度、獨立研究部門及國際級投研系統三大方向，強化投資管理與風險控管能力。 台灣資產管理規模突破 23 兆元 國泰強調穩健治理 國泰金總經理李長庚表示，國泰資產管理高峰會今年邁入第三年，希望透過國內外專家交流，搭建台灣與全球資產管理市場的對話平台。面對快速變動的投資環境，比起預測下一次市場高點，更重要的是在不同景氣循環中維持穩健布局，這也是國泰「夠穩健，才能靈活前進」的核心理念。 李長庚指出，隨著政府推動亞洲資產管理中心政策，透過法規鬆綁、高資產業務、台灣個人投資儲蓄帳戶（TISA）及高雄專區等措施，持續為產業注入新動能。自 2020 年政策推動以來，台灣投信投顧業管理資產規模已破 23 兆元，近一年半成長逾 76%，反映資產管理市場快速擴張。 他強調，資產管理的基石是信任，產品創新與業務成長須建立在穩健治理之上。國泰將持續投入投資研究、人才培育、科技系統、內部控制及風險管理，以更高的國際標準提升資產管理能力。 針對近期台股劇烈震盪及市場擔憂 AI 投資太過燒錢，李長庚則認為「AI 不會死掉」，並表示新科技發展不可能一步到位，過程難免出現波動，不過 AI 應用需求仍持續擴大，全球算力也相當稀缺。至於近期雲端算力業者 CoreWeave 引發的融資疑慮，他形容只是「大浪中的小浪花」，對 AI 產業長期發展依舊樂觀。 …
