Entering its 31st year on 12 April 2026, PT BNI Sekuritas (BNI Sekuritas/the Company) reaffirms its role as an investment partner for both retail and institutional investors in Indonesia. Over more than three decades, the Company has consistently contributed through education, inclusion, and innovation, in line with the increasing participation of the public in the capital market. “Since its establishment in 1995, BNI Sekuritas has not only opened access to the capital market but also equipped investors with education as a foundation for wise decision-making. Because a healthy capital market is reflected in the quality of education and experience possessed by its participants,” explained Acting President Director of BNI, Vera Ongyono, in a written statement on Thursday (16/4). In the midst of a increasingly dynamic market, BNI Sekuritas continues to strengthen the foundation of retail investors as an important element in building an inclusive and sustainable capital market. Currently, Indonesia’s capital market continues to grow with more than 21 million investors, dominated by the younger generation, while the recorded capital market literacy rate of around 17–18% presents opportunities for education to further empower investors in optimally utilising investment access. As a manifestation of its 31-year commitment, BNI Sekuritas implements various strategic initiatives to strengthen retail investors, including: - Expansion of Investor Base: Actively running the Capital Market School and Investment Gallery together with the Indonesia Stock Exchange, reaching 1,317 investors and potential investors in 2025. - Continuous Education: Programmes such as Morning Investview, Live Trading, and Stock Clinic reaching more than 155,160 participants, providing market insights and analysis support with the retail research analyst team of BNI Sekuritas. - Experience-Based Learning: Annual trading competition titled BIONS Cuanpionship involving more than 2,751 retail investors, combining direct practice with interactive learning. - Digital Platform Innovation: Launch of New BIONS by BNI Sekuritas providing integrated access to stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and government securities in one easy-to-use research-based application. - Hybrid Approach: Revitalisation of outlets in various major cities in Indonesia, presenting interactive lounges, workshops, and live trading sessions, while providing space for investors to meet directly with the sales team, thereby increasing their trust and experience. In addition to strengthening retail and investor education, BNI Sekuritas also reaffirms its role through involvement in several strategic transactions. For example, in 2025, the Company served as lead transaction advisor for Blue Sky Group in its partnership with Airport Dimensions, which supports regional expansion while strengthening airport lounge services in Indonesia. BNI Sekuritas also facilitated the transaction between PT Angkasa Pura Indonesia (API) and PT Garuda Maintenance Facility Aero Asia Tbk (GMFI) through a rights issue and asset contribution worth Rp5.66 trillion at Soekarno-Hatta Airport, which successfully strengthened GMFI’s capital structure. This reflects BNI Sekuritas’ role as a strategic advisor in driving growth and sustainability in the aviation industry. In early 2026, BNI Sekuritas was entrusted as Sole Arranger in the merger of PT Mora Telematika Indonesia Tbk (Moratelindo) (IDX: MORA) and PT Eka Mas Republik (MyRepublic Indonesia) with a transaction value of Rp20 trillion. After obtaining shareholder approval on 26 March 2026, with Moratelindo as the absorbing entity to be renamed PT Ekamas Mora Republik Tbk. This merger is a strategic step to strengthen the national digital ecosystem through synergy in network infrastructure in Indonesia. In line with its role in supporting investors, BNI Sekuritas is also committed to supporting Institutional Clients through strengthening green and sustainable financing (green financing) as a strategy to create long-term value and drive the transition to ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) practices. “Green financing is not just a trend, but a structural shift in the market. We are ready to support clients already operating in this sector or those in transition,” said Vera. Throughout 2025, BNI Sekuritas has actively played a role in supporting ESG-based financing transactions through eight (8) instruments, covering sustainable bonds and sukuk, including: Sustainable Environmental Bond Bank Mandiri, Sustainable Social Bond Pegadaian, Mudharabah Sukuk Based on Sustainability Bank Syariah Indonesia, Sustainability Bond Bank BNI, Sustainable Bond Sarana Multi Infrastruktur, and Sustainable Social Sukuk Pegadaian. In addition, BNI Sekuritas continues to strengthen corporate governance and integrated risk management, ensuring a balance between quick responses to market dynamics and consistent application of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) principles. Every business development and strategic initiative, including the transformation of BIONS into a smart investing platform, is designed with consideration for compliance, transparency, and risk management, thereby strengthening stakeholder trust and creating long-term value. As evidence of recognition for institutional performance and good governance, in 2025 BNI Sekuritas received various prestigious awards, both national and international, including Alpha Southeast Asia, Asian Banking & Finance, Euromoney, The Asset, Corporate Governance Perception Index (CGPI), SWA, and Warta Ekonomi. “Looking ahead, BNI Sekuritas is committed to expanding the reach of education for both retail and institutional investors, strengthening capital market inclusion, and presenting adaptive investment solutions. In addition, governance becomes an important foundation so that all Customers and Clients can participate comfortably, actively, and sustainably in the Indonesian capital market,” Vera concluded.
