What's happening in PresUniv
Saturday (7/8), President University Major Association (PUMA) Management Study Program, in collaboration with STAR Asset Management, held a webinar entitled "Yuk Berinvestasi Reksa Dana". This webinar aimed at President University (PresUniv) students is based on the recent massive interest of students in investment. The webinar presented three speakers from STAR Asset Management, namely Kemal Fajri Mohsin, Head of Institutional & Intermediary Business, Kurnia Lestari, and Ratih Ayu Sulistyaningrum, both are Senior Institutional Marketing.
If usually investment webinars talk about stocks, this time it is different. In her presentation, Ratih explained some of the advantages of mutual fund investment instruments, which are managed by professional investment managers, have diverse mutual fund choices, cheap investments, high liquidity, transparent prices, and are not tax objects. "So if you invest in mutual funds, the funds will be managed by professional managers," he explained. In addition, Ratih admitted that she regrets not knowing about mutual fund investing since she was young. It is because the investment can be made with capital for only IDR 100,000. In fact, there are even some mutual funds with a minimum deposit of only IDR 10,000.
Meanwhile, Kemal explained how STAR Asset Management manages its funds from investors. Kemal said, STAR Asset Management's investment priority is to buy stocks of technology or digital companies, especially those that have made Initial Public Offerings (IPOs), such as Bank Jago or Bukalapak. “During the implementation of the Pemberlakukan Pembatasan Kegiatan Masyarakat, students limited their gathering activities. So, the money is better invested in mutual funds because the potential return is better than savings or time deposits," he said. (Steven Chaniago, PR team. Photo: Steven).
