IPOT Expands Financial Literacy Programme to Esports Community
The use of financial products among young people continues to rise, yet understanding of investment risks remains lagging. This situation has prompted PT Indo Premier Sekuritas (IPOT) to expand financial education into the esports community, which is dominated by the younger generation.
IPOT is partnering with the Kapolda Jateng Cup 2026 event to boost financial and investment literacy within the esports community. The activity will be held at De Tjolomadoe, Karanganyar, Central Java.
President Director & CEO of PT Indo Premier Sekuritas, Moleonoto The, stated that the esports community possesses characteristics relevant to the investment world, such as discipline, focus, and the ability to formulate strategies. “The esports community has many characteristics needed in the investment world, like discipline, focus, and the ability to read strategies,” Moleonoto said in a statement on Thursday (18/6/2026).
According to him, many young people start investing simply by following trends or information from social media without understanding the accompanying risks. Therefore, improving literacy is considered crucial so that access to investment products goes hand in hand with adequate understanding.
Data from the 2025 National Survey of Financial Literacy and Inclusion (SNLIK) shows the financial inclusion rate for the 18 to 25 age group reached 89.96 percent. However, the financial literacy rate for the same age group stood at just 73.22 percent. This figure indicates that many young people are already using various financial products but do not yet fully understand how they work, their benefits, or the inherent risks.
Through the Kapolda Jateng Cup 2026, IPOT will present various educational activities related to investment and financial management to participants and the esports community involved in the event.
Moleonoto said financial understanding is an important asset for the younger generation to face various risks in the digital era. Besides helping them make more informed investment decisions, financial literacy is also seen as a way to reduce vulnerability to fraudulent investments, digital financial crimes, and online gambling practices that increasingly target the productive age group. According to him, proper education will help the younger generation utilise financial access more wisely while building healthy long-term financial planning.
