        "summary": "Co-founder of PasarDana, Hans Kwee, advises investors to remain calm amid the MSCI rebalancing announcement, noting that the removal of several issuers from the index is technical in nature, related to weighting methodology and liquidity, rather than reflecting fundamental company issues. He highlights that market participants and fund managers had anticipated these changes, presenting opportunities for accumulation in blue-chip and small-cap stocks during short-term volatility. OJK's Head of Capital Market Supervision, Hasan Fawzi, confirms that the IHSG correction remains within reasonable bounds, with no stocks hitting auto-rejection lows and trading volumes staying robust.",
        "content": "<p>Co-founder of PasarDana, Hans Kwee, believes investors should remain\ncalm and avoid getting caught up in panic selling following the Morgan\nStanley Capital International (MSCI) announcement. According to him, the\nremoval of several issuers from the MSCI index is more technical in\nnature, related to weighting methodology and liquidity, rather than\ndirectly reflecting damage to the companies\u2019 fundamentals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMoreover, many market participants and fund managers have\nanticipated the removal of those shares by MSCI in recent months,\u201d Hans\nsaid in a written statement on Wednesday, 13 May 2026. He stated that\nsome passive fund managers will utilise the final period on 29 May 2026\nto rebalance their portfolios in line with the MSCI announcement.<\/p>\n<p>Hans opines that behind this short-term volatility, there are\nopportunities to accumulate blue-chip stocks and small-cap sectors whose\nprices have anomalously corrected due to panic and forced selling\npressure from passive fund managers. He said this momentum can be\nutilised by Indonesian investors to objectively evaluate their\nportfolios.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, the Head of Executive for Capital Market, Derivatives\nFinance, and Carbon Exchange Supervision at the Financial Services\nAuthority (OJK), Hasan Fawzi, assesses that the correction in the\nComposite Stock Price Index (IHSG) is still within reasonable limits\namid the MSCI announcement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we look at the affected stocks, none of them have experienced,\nfor example, an auto rejection lower or touching the lowest permitted\nprice today,\u201d Hasan said during a press conference at the Indonesia\nStock Exchange, Jakarta, on Wednesday, 13 May 2026. He also mentioned\nthat the average transaction value, volume, and frequency remain quite\ngood.<\/p>\n<p>On trading Wednesday, 13 May 2026, the IHSG opened at 6,763. Then, at\nthe close of the first session, the IHSG weakened by 1.81 percent to\n6,734.5. The transaction volume reached 26.1 billion shares with a value\nof Rp 10.27 trillion. Meanwhile, the transaction frequency reached 1.47\nmillion times.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the MSCI announcement on Wednesday, 13 May 2026, six stocks\nwere removed from the Global Standard Index. One of the six stocks, PT\nSumber Alfaria Trijaya Tbk (AMRT) or Alfamart, was included in the\nGlobal Small Cap Index. Then, there are 13 stocks removed from the\nGlobal Small Cap Index.<\/p>",
