Prudential Extends Investment Outlook Amid Ongoing JCI Volatility

PT Prudential Life Assurance (Prudential Indonesia) is implementing an investment strategy focused on the long term as the Indonesia Composite Index (JCI) fails to recover towards the end of the first half of 2026.

Adit Trivedi, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Prudential Indonesia, stated that the company currently possesses various investment fund options across different asset classes. Prudential’s products include fixed-income funds, global funds investing overseas, and funds specifically invested within Indonesia.

“In determining investment choices, we focus on assets with strong fundamentals. We are also paying close attention to sectors such as consumer goods, healthcare, and communications,” he told reporters following Prudential Indonesia’s 2025 performance press conference in Jakarta on Wednesday (3/6/2026).

Consequently, Adit continued, Prudential Indonesia’s primary focus remains on long-term growth, even though he acknowledged that markets may experience volatility or fluctuations in the short term.

“Therefore, we encourage customers to maintain diversified portfolios. This allows them to manage risk more optimally and achieve better results in the long run,” he concluded.

For information, Prudential Indonesia’s total investment assets (including investment-linked insurance products or PAYDI) throughout 2025 reached IDR 54.5 trillion, a 6% year-on-year growth from IDR 51.3 trillion.
