OJK Promotes Gold ETF as New Investment Instrument - BCA Securities

The Financial Services Authority (OJK) will accelerate the launch of a new investment instrument in the capital market in the form of a gold-based Exchange Traded Fund (ETF). The product is expected to begin trading on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) in May 2026.

Head of the Capital Market, Derivatives Finance, and Carbon Exchange Executive Supervision at OJK, Hasan Fawzi, revealed that there are currently three investment managers (MI) processing the development of the gold ETF product.

“Now there are three that are seriously processing and preparing the prospectus profile or product profile for the gold ETF mutual fund,” Hasan said at the BEI Building in Jakarta on Monday (27/4/2026).

According to him, the three MIs are currently compiling the necessary documents, including the prospectus, before submitting them for approval from OJK.

Hasan assessed that the launch of the gold ETF is an opportune moment in line with the development of the bullion industry in Indonesia. In addition, gold is considered a popular and relatively stable instrument amid fluctuating market conditions.

He added that the gold ETF will provide ease of access for investors as it can be traded flexibly on the exchange, just like shares.

“So if you want to trade the ETF at any time through the trading board at the exchange, it can be done,” he explained.

OJK hopes that the presence of the gold ETF can serve as an alternative investment while expanding diversification options for portfolios among investors in the domestic capital market.
