Sucor AM: Indonesian Mutual Funds Remain Resilient Amid Global Uncertainty
Jakarta — Global geopolitical uncertainty continues to influence financial market dynamics in recent times. Changes in United States tariff policy and Middle East conflicts that drive up oil prices have increased volatility in global equity and bond markets.
Despite this, PT Sucor Asset Management (Sucor AM) believes the mutual fund industry in Indonesia has demonstrated sufficient resilience amid such external pressures. “Looking at current geopolitical developments, it is undeniable that this affects market sentiment and volatility in equities and bonds, which indirectly influences the overall performance of mutual fund products,” said Dimas in a written statement on Friday 13 March 2026.
Amid such global dynamics, Sucor AM observes that investor interest in mutual fund products remains stable. This is reflected in Infovesta data showing an increase in the mutual fund industry’s assets under management of approximately 5 per cent from end-2025 to February 2026.
According to Dimas, fluctuations in global markets require investment managers to apply disciplined portfolio management strategies while prioritising risk management principles. In this context, Sucor AM states it prioritises fund allocation to equities with strong fundamentals and valuations deemed relatively attractive. Some of these include issuers within major indices such as LQ45, IDX30, and IDXBUMN.
This approach is valued as one effort to maintain portfolio stability whilst still creating opportunities for optimal return potential.
The company emphasises the importance of portfolio duration management undertaken gradually and adjusted to market conditions. “For mutual fund products based on bonds or fixed income, we continue to manage duration gradually and conditionally. In maintaining portfolio stability and optimising returns, allocation is also focused on corporate bonds that have undergone rigorous credit quality analysis, with solid fundamentals, measured risk profiles, and adequate liquidity,” added Dimas.
This strategy is carried out as part of efforts to maintain balance between portfolio stability and return potential amid dynamic market conditions.
