Danantara Officially Joins Global Sovereign Wealth Fund Association
Danantara Investment Management (DIM) has been listed as an Associate Member of the International Forum of Sovereign Wealth Funds (IFSWF) at the start of this year. This reflects a commitment to applying international practices in the management of the red-plate investment manager.
As an Associate Member, DIM joins a global network of sovereign wealth funds committed to upholding the Santiago Principles, which comprise 24 Generally Accepted Principles and Practices recognised internationally as standards for governance, investment, and risk management for sovereign wealth funds.
Chief Investment Officer of Danantara Indonesia Pandu Sjahrir said that membership of the IFSWF opens up opportunities for DIM to engage in knowledge exchange with the world’s leading sovereign wealth funds, participate in various perspective-sharing programmes organised by the Forum, and align its governance framework with global standards to ensure the highest level of transparency and accountability.
“Joining the IFSWF reflects Danantara Indonesia’s commitment to world-class governance, transparency, and accountability. As the manager of Indonesia’s national assets, we are determined to build an institution that meets the highest international standards so that we can carry out our investment mandate for the Indonesian people,” Pandu said in a written statement on Thursday (16/7/2026).
Chief Executive of the IFSWF Duncan Bonfield said his organisation was delighted to welcome Danantara Indonesia as an IFSWF member.
“Since its establishment, Danantara Indonesia has demonstrated a strong commitment to good governance, professionalism, and transparency, and will be a valuable member of our community,” Duncan said.
Going forward, Danantara Indonesia intends to use its Associate Member status as a foundation for deepening engagement with the global sovereign investor community within the Forum, including through alignment with the Santiago Principles self-assessment process as part of efforts to strengthen institutional governance.
