Indonesia’s fund management industry assets fell 1.39% in the first quarter as stocks funds declined amid rising bond yields and a weaker rupiah.
The industry had 565.87 trillion rupiah (US$40.66 billion) of assets as of end-March, down from 573.54 trillion rupiah on December 31, 2020, according to latest figures published on the website of the Financial Services Authority of Indonesia.
The regulator typically posts the data without providing analysis.
Stock funds fell 3.19% quarter-on-quarter to 123.71 trillion rupiah while bond funds edged up 0.27% to 141.28 trillion rupiah.
The decline in stock funds was primarily caused by foreign investors cutting their exposure to emerging-market equities to move into safe haven assets, according to a portfolio manager at an Indonesian fund management company.
The acquisition also paves the way for Fave to launch its payments app in India, which will allow Indian consumers to make transactions at nearly 5 lakh physical retail points and merchants powered by Pine Labs
Datuk Michael Chong
KUALA LUMPUR: A family who openly show off their Datuk Seri and doctorate titles, with the father even supposedly having a professorship, are now under scrutiny.
The family comprising the father, mother and their sons, who are all supposedly titled, had uploaded pictures with their honorifics on their company website. But a check showed no details of their awards and academic qualifications.
MCA Public Services and Complaints Department chief Datuk Michael Chong said this was the first time he had come across an entire family with so many titles.
“If the titles are authentic, then I congratulate them for being the most titled family in Malaysia, ” he said, adding that he received information questioning the status of these people.
