The Financial Services Authority (OJK) records that mutual fund assets under management (AUM) have reached Rp 1,084 trillion as of March 2026. Nevertheless, M. Maulana, Head of the OJK’s Regional Department for Investment Management and Capital Market Supervision, stated that this figure only accounts for 4% of Gross Domestic Product.

“It looks large, but in terms of GDP, it’s only 4%,” said Maulana at the Road to Mutual Fund Week event at the Indonesia Stock Exchange building in Jakarta on Monday, 20 April 2026. According to him, this amount lags behind other countries, such as Thailand at 30% of GDP and Malaysia at 36% of GDP.

From the beginning of the year to March 2026, the assets under management have increased by 3.97%. The total assets under management include Fixed Income Mutual Funds (RDPT), Asset-Backed Securities (EBA), Exchange Traded Funds (ETF), Real Estate Investment Funds (DIRE), Infrastructure Investment Funds (DINFRA), and Collective Investment Contracts for Tapera Fund Accumulation (KIK PD Tapera).

Maulana also noted that the number of mutual fund investors has risen to 23.5 million from 19.2 million in December last year. Thus, the number of mutual fund investors grew by 8.14% compared to 2025.

Interestingly, said Maulana, 54% of these investors are under 30 years old. “If we look at data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), Indonesia’s population is 287 million, with 196 million in the productive age group between 15 and 64 years. That means compared to the 23 million, there is still a lot of potential,” he stated.

Meanwhile, the Indonesian Mutual Fund and Investment Association (APRDI) recorded that mutual fund assets under management grew by 35.06% in 2025. This growth was primarily supported by fixed income mutual funds, which recorded an increase of 67.04%, followed by money market mutual funds at 60.03%, protected mutual funds at 11.15%, and equity mutual funds at 3.51%.

To enhance mutual fund literacy and inclusion, APRDI is organising Mutual Fund Socialisation and Education events. This activity is part of the Road to Mutual Fund Week 2026 series.

APRDI Presidium Council Chair Lolita Liliana stated that strengthening literacy is key to maintaining the industry’s growth momentum. “The significant growth of the mutual fund industry in 2025 reflects the increasing public trust in professionally managed investment instruments,” she said.
