        "summary": "Heightened volatility in the rupiah's exchange rate against the US dollar is prompting investors to reassess their asset allocations. BRI Manajemen Investasi notes a shift towards considering foreign currency exposure, particularly the dollar, as a medium- to long-term diversification strategy.

        "content": "<p>JAKARTA \u2013 Volatility in the rupiah\u2019s exchange rate against the US\ndollar is prompting investors to review their portfolio composition.\nExternal pressures, ranging from global monetary policy to capital\noutflows from emerging markets, have brought foreign currency exposure\nback into focus.<\/p>\n<p>Head of Corporate Secretary &amp; Communication Division at PT BRI\nManajemen Investasi (BRI-MI), Bagus Setyawan, stated that the increase\nin exchange rate volatility is encouraging investors to more actively\nevaluate their asset allocation, not only to manage risk but also to\nseek diversification opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen exchange rate volatility increases, we see investors becoming\nmore active in evaluating their asset composition. The focus is not\nsolely on managing risk, but also on seeking diversification\nopportunities that can help maintain portfolio balance across various\nmarket conditions,\u201d Bagus said on Friday (12\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>According to him, exposure to foreign currencies, particularly the US\ndollar, is beginning to be considered as a medium- to long-term\nstrategy. This aligns with the financial needs of some investors who\nhave linkages to the US dollar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExposure to different currencies can serve as diversification in\nportfolio management. For some investors, this also relates to future\nfinancial needs that are tied to the US dollar,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>One instrument that investors can utilise is a professionally managed\ndollar-based product. Such instruments provide access to\ndollar-denominated assets without requiring direct management by the\ninvestor.<\/p>\n<p>BRI-MI noted that its dollar money market fund, BRI Seruni Likuid\nDolar (BSLD), has recorded a return of 3.14 percent in dollar\ndenomination since its launch on 10 July 2025 up to 8 June 2026. In\nrupiah terms, the return equates to 15.54 percent over the same period,\nsupported by the strengthening of the US dollar.<\/p>\n<p>Bagus explained that dollar money market instruments offer relatively\nhigh liquidity as they invest in short-term instruments. This\ncharacteristic is deemed suitable for investors who prioritise\nflexibility while also wanting to gradually build exposure to the\ndollar.<\/p>\n<p>Amid exchange rate volatility, investors have various options to\nbroaden portfolio diversification. Dollar-based instruments can serve as\nan alternative to complement medium- to long-term investment\nstrategies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe most important thing is to ensure that every investment decision\nremains aligned with individual financial goals and risk profiles,\u201d\nBagus concluded.<\/p>",
