Against that backdrop, Fubon Financial said its dividend policy would remain unchanged, maintaining a 40-50 percent payout ratio primarily through cash dividends. Strong equity market performance continued to support its key subsidiary, Fubon Life Insurance Co (富邦人壽). Another major subsidiary Taipei Fubon Commercial Bank Co (台北富邦銀行) reported a record profit of NT$36.34 billion last year, rising 19.5 percent from a year earlier.
