Video: Opportunities and Challenges as Insurance Drives Investment into Stocks

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - Regarding the government’s directive for pension funds and insurance companies to increase their share of investment in stock instruments, the Chairman of the Indonesian Insurance Council, Yulius Bhayangkara, acknowledged that this must be done with sound risk management. On the other hand, Yulius also reminded that the Financial Services Authority (OJK) has already equipped the industry with a range of regulations that are also mandatory to comply with. One of these is the requirement to manage solvency ratios well.

Meanwhile, the Chief Investment Officer of PT BRI Asset Management, Herman Tjahjadi, hopes that the increase in the share of investments in stocks by pension funds and insurance companies will be done carefully and will not narrow the liquidity of shares in certain issuers, due to the high interest in entering into similar stocks.
