2026 Investment Trends: Stay Calm, Avoid Instant Profits

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Indonesian capital market is still facing the risk of high volatility. However, the Indonesian capital market is still considered to have the potential to rise until the end of the year. Chief Marketing Officer of Jarvis Asset Management, Kartika Sutandi, said that the Indonesian capital market is projected to continue its upward trend or bullish trend this year. The analyst, who is affectionately known as Tjoe Ay, added that last year the capital market was also sluggish until May. In April last year, the capital market was marked by a trading halt or a temporary suspension of trading activity. This was the impact of the announcement of tariffs by US President Donald Trump. “But in the end, we were all happy, right? So there’s no need to rush,” he said. In the investment journey, Tjoe Ay reminded that sometimes people don’t always need to be fully invested. This means that people don’t always need to continuously put all their capital in an investment portfolio on active assets such as stocks. “It’s not necessary for people to always be fully invested; sometimes we wait for the signal and hold,” he said. Tjoe Ay revealed that the industry is now starting to move towards a more disciplined investment approach. The Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG) in 2026 needs to be further reviewed by looking at the flow of capital in the market.
