To Boost Number of Investors, OJK Launches Pintar Reksa Dana Programme
Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia — The Financial Services Authority has launched the Planned and Periodic Mutual Fund Investment Programme (Pintar Reksa Dana) as an effort to increase market depth by encouraging public participation in the capital markets, particularly through mutual fund instruments. This programme is also expected to accelerate financial access and further enhance societal welfare.
The launch of Pintar Reksa Dana was conducted by OJK’s Board of Commissioners Chair Friderica Wisyasari Dewi together with Coordinating Minister for the Economy Airlangga Hartarto and Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa at the Main Hall of the Indonesia Stock Exchange on Monday (27/4/2026).
Friderica explained that this programme aligns with the eight action plans for reforming the integrity of Indonesia’s capital markets, which state that strengthening integrity is not only supported by governance quality but also by expanding public participation as investors in the capital markets.
“This programme also forms part of systemic reforms to strengthen the role of capital markets as a pillar of long-term financing for the national economy,” said Friderica.
In his remarks, Purbaya stated that the current condition of Indonesia’s capital markets has improved and is safe for investors to continue increasing their investments, including through the Pintar Reksa Dana programme.
“Now, supervision in the capital markets has been improved. Your investments in the capital markets are guaranteed to be secure. Our capital markets have improved their integrity well; moving forward, this is a safe place to invest,” said Purbaya.
According to him, governance or integrity is an absolute matter in managing Indonesia’s capital markets, because with a clean market, domestic investors will feel secure and global investors will see Indonesia as a credible investment destination.
Meanwhile, Airlangga Hartarto also welcomed the Pintar Reksa Dana programme, which can support efforts to increase societal welfare, including for the younger generation.
“The government is constantly striving to strengthen the economy, one of which is by expanding market access. We also hope that capital markets are not only built for today but for the future of the younger generation. Capital markets are expected to be more inclusive and grow sustainably,” said Airlangga.
On the same occasion, OJK’s Executive Head of Capital Markets, Derivative Finance, and Carbon Exchange Supervision Hasan Fawzi stated in his remarks that the launch of the Pintar Reksa Dana programme becomes a strategic momentum in OJK’s and all stakeholders’ efforts to encourage and accelerate investment inclusion, particularly among the younger generation.
“Market deepening must be carried out in an integrated manner through synergistic efforts from all stakeholders. The Pintar Reksa Dana programme, which is collaborated with the SIMUDA programme, is a concrete step to expand access and also encourage broader public participation, including beginner investors,” said Hasan.
He continued that OJK is also encouraging active participation from associations in implementing self-control mechanisms as well as understanding market conduct behaviour carried out by members as a form of early prevention against potential practices that do not comply with regulations.
“Market deepening is not only measured by an increase in the number of investors but also by efforts to strengthen the quality of the market ecosystem. Industry players are expected to continue playing an active role as the frontline in providing education to the public,” said Hasan.
Pintar Reksa Dana is expected to continue developing into a national programme and campaign that is implemented sustainably. In the future, this programme is hoped to provide real benefits to the wider public in building healthy investment habits from an early stage. According to Hasan, industry players who have committed to joining the Pintar Reksa Dana programme include 30 investment managers and 26 APERD.
The launch event for Pintar Reksa Dana was also held simultaneously with the opening of Mutual Fund Week 2026 by the Indonesia Mutual Fund and Investment Association (APRDI). Mutual Fund Week runs from 25 April to 1 May 2026 and will become an annual routine agenda.
This event aims to strengthen public understanding and participation to become investors in the capital markets, particularly in mutual funds.
APRDI Presidium Chair Lolita Lilana conveyed that the mutual fund industry still requires innovation and creativity to form products that are suitable and appealing to the public. Support and incentives are still needed to build and foster an investment culture.
“The Pintar Reksa Dana programme is expected to mobilise the public to start investing routinely and planned to achieve future financial goals,” said Lolita.
She continued that in increasing public literacy about mutual funds, APRDI together with OJK and SRO has conducted a series of educations in six cities, namely Surabaya, Semarang, Medan, Makassar, Bandung, and Palembang. This series of programmes has already educated 250 journalists and 2,500 students.
