Goldman Sachs Group?has vaulted past Wall Street rivals to become the top global player in Taiwan¡¯s equity trading market, capitalizing on surging demand from quant funds for artificial intelligence exposure.

The Wall Street bank has risen from 10th place in early 2025 to become Taiwan¡¯s largest foreign brokerage by trading volume in the first half, overtaking rivals including JPMorgan Chase, and Morgan Stanley, according to exchange data. Goldman now ranks as the fourth-largest broker overall, rivaling the biggest domestic firms.

The primary driver behind Goldman¡¯s market-share gains has been a rapid expansion of its coverage of high-frequency trading and quantitative clients, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified discussing private matters.
