The Company holds the above foreign and domestic stocks for medium to long-term strategic purposes and expects to profit from long-term investment.  Accordingly, the management elected to designate these investments in equity instruments at FVOCI as they believe that recognizing short-term fair value fluctuations of these investments in profit or loss is not consistent with the Company’s strategy of holding these investments for long-term purposes.

The Company recognized dividend income of $396 million and $296 million for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, respectively, from those investments still held on balance sheet dates.
