If you have been watching your portfolio with one eye and the news with the other, we hope this update gives you a cleaner picture of what is actually happening, and what we are doing about it.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The MSCI review concluded with six Indonesian equities removed from the MSCI Indonesia Standard Index, effective 29 May.</strong> The outcome was sharper than we initially anticipated, likely a consequence of MSCI immediately incorporating KSEI&#8217;s disclosure of concentrated ownership structures, which reduced the recognised free float of several names overnight.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Indonesia&#8217;s weighting within the MSCI Emerging Markets Index is now expected to decline from roughly 0.72% to 0.61%, a reduction of nearly 15.3%. We estimate combined outflows from active and passive funds tied to the exclusions at around USD 1.7 billion, with total potential outflows, including the broader downweighting effect on remaining constituents, approaching USD 2.8 billion. The Jakarta Composite Index reflected this, falling as much as 4% to a low of 6,400 before partially recovering to a loss of 1.85%, closing at 6.599.24 as of 18 May 2026.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">But here is the more important point: <strong>we believe the risk of Indonesia being reclassified into Frontier Markets has now been effectively removed. The remaining overhang is about index weighting, not existential market status.</strong> Much of the worst-case scenario appears priced in. That does not mean smooth sailing ahead, near-term pressure on equities is likely to persist but it does mean the character of the risk has shifted. That matters.</p><h2><strong>Indonesia&#8217;s Ongoing PR Challenge</strong></h2><p style="text-align: justify;">There is a version of this update that only talks about MSCI flows and rupiah levels. But that would miss what is, ironically, the more consequential issue right now,  Indonesia&#8217;s relationship with its own narrative in front of a global audience.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Recent remarks from government leaders on the rupiah&#8217;s depreciation have done little to reassure international markets.</strong> At the time of writing, the rupiah has weakened toward 16,750 against the dollar. The framing around exchange rate moves as something manageable misses a structural reality: <strong>the US dollar is deeply embedded in Indonesia&#8217;s economic engine. Imported fuel, subsidised commodities, the soybeans that go into the tempeh and tahu on your table, all of it priced in dollars.</strong> When the rupiah weakens, that cost does not stay in a spreadsheet. It filters through to businesses and households, quietly and persistently.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Beyond currency, the deeper issue is one of predictability.</strong> Global investors,  whether allocating short-term portfolio flows or committing to longer-term foreign direct investment, do not just price fundamentals. They price their confidence that the rules of the game will remain consistent. When that confidence wavers, capital finds somewhere else to go. And rebuilding trust, as most investors instinctively know, always takes longer than losing it.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Where we stand, and how we are positioned.</strong></h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Despite the turbulence, we believe Indonesia&#8217;s capital markets are gradually approaching a bottoming phase. We anticipate continued intervention from Bank Indonesia and the government to support rupiah stability, and with the MSCI uncertainty now largely resolved, the conditions for sentiment to normalise, slowly, unevenly, are beginning to take shape.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Here is how we are thinking about the major asset classes right now.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fixed Income</strong></h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Indonesian government bond yields are hovering around 6.8% (Indo 10Y), a level that presents a genuinely attractive entry point for investors already holding rupiah assets. We have been recommending increasing fixed income exposure and lengthening duration at current yield levels. This remains our preferred positioning for Bond Funds.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Equities</strong></h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Near-term volatility is not going away, and we will not pretend otherwise. But we continue to believe that equities remain the most compelling long-term asset class for participating in Indonesia&#8217;s structural growth story, more so than dollar assets or other rupiah-denominated classes. Short-term noise, however uncomfortable, does not change that underlying calculus.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dollar exposure</strong></h3><p style="text-align: justify;">Dollar-denominated assets continue to serve as a genuine hedge and portfolio diversifier in this environment, and we may have a specific Simpan update on this front coming soon.</p><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Actively managed portfolios</strong></h3><p style="text-align: justify;">We had already positioned defensively heading into May, with equity allocation at 12% and balanced positions of 44% each in cash and bond funds. That posture was designed precisely for moments like this: to preserve capital while retaining the flexibility to redeploy risk as conditions stabilise. AMP is doing what it was built to do, so that you do not have to time anything yourself.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Market sentiment remained fairly stable during the first few trading days, before weakening sharply on Friday, when the index declined by -2.86%.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The sell-off was primarily driven by news regarding a new proposal from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources regarding a proposed revision to Government Regulation (PP) No. 19 of 2025 to increase royalty tariffs for commodity producers (copper, gold, tin, and nickel ore), with rates of up to 20%. The government stated that the proposed adjustment is intended to better align with prevailing commodity price dynamics, ensuring the country benefits from its natural resources, especially given elevated commodity prices. At the same time, the proposal is also part of broader efforts to strengthen state revenues amid widening fiscal pressures, rising energy subsidy requirements, and other government programs such as the MBG (Free Nutritious Meal) initiative.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Following the announcement, commodity-related sectors experienced significant selling pressure. The Energy sector was among the weakest performers, declining -5.7% WoW, while the Basic Materials sector fell -5.6% WoW. Foreign investors were net sellers of approximately ~IDR 0.49T on Friday alone, with selling concentrated in commodity-linked names such as BUMI, TINS, and BREN.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">However, earlier today, the Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Bahlil Lahadalia announced in a press conference that the implementation of the new regulation would be delayed. He also noted that the royalty calculation formula will be changed, with the government aiming to reach a more balanced &#8220;win-win&#8221; framework for both the state and business sectors. In addition, the government remains open to further input from the mining sector regarding the proposed royalty structure. The JCI saw a slight decline of -0.92% today.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>How Did Our Funds Perform?</strong></h2><p style="text-align: justify;">In line with broader market weakness, our equity-oriented portfolios were also affected, particularly given our exposure to several commodity-related holdings. On Friday, our Sustainable Equity Fund declined by -3.31%, with names such as AMMN, EMAS, and AADI being top laggards. Our Balanced Fund (-1.75%) and Amanah Syariah Fund (-1.87%) also saw declines but still outperformed the JCI,  supported by their fixed income allocations which helped cushion market volatility.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>What Is Our Outlook Going Forward?</strong></h2><p style="text-align: justify;">We view the recent correction largely as a &#8220;panic sell on news&#8221; reaction rather than the start of a structural downturn. While near-term volatility may persist, we do not expect selling pressure to continue at the same magnitude. From a technical perspective, we believe the index is currently trading at support levels, with the ~6,500 level representing the next key support level should weakness continue.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">We believe that commodity-related companies remain well-positioned in inflationary environments, particularly given that ongoing geopolitical tensions continue to support elevated commodity prices. Even if the war de-escalates, the broader implications (supply chains, inflation) are likely to persist over the medium term.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">While our portfolios contain selective exposure to commodity-related names, they are also well-diversified across sectors and contain high-quality blue-chip companies with resilient fundamentals and strong earnings visibility.

Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) Traded Volatile, Closing Out Lower By -1.30% in April</strong></h3><p>The JCI rebounded in the first half of April but came under pressure in the latter half, ultimately closing the month down by -1.30%. <strong>Elevated energy prices continued to raise concerns over Indonesia&#8217;s inflation and fiscal outlook, weighing on investor sentiment and triggering broad-based weakness across equities. </strong>Foreign investors remained net sellers, recording outflows of ~IDR 17.72T, largely concentrated in major banking stocks such as BBCA, BBRI, and BMRI. Persistent capital outflows also added pressure on the Rupiah, with USD/IDR breaching above the ~17,300 level during the month.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!u3kr!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F19ccc84d-a076-48f4-b5fc-bb897d7427a9_744x348.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!u3kr!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F19ccc84d-a076-48f4-b5fc-bb897d7427a9_744x348.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!u3kr!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F19ccc84d-a076-48f4-b5fc-bb897d7427a9_744x348.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!u3kr!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F19ccc84d-a076-48f4-b5fc-bb897d7427a9_744x348.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!u3kr!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F19ccc84d-a076-48f4-b5fc-bb897d7427a9_744x348.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!u3kr!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F19ccc84d-a076-48f4-b5fc-bb897d7427a9_744x348.png" width="744" height="348" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/19ccc84d-a076-48f4-b5fc-bb897d7427a9_744x348.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:348,&quot;width&quot;:744,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:true,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!u3kr!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F19ccc84d-a076-48f4-b5fc-bb897d7427a9_744x348.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!u3kr!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F19ccc84d-a076-48f4-b5fc-bb897d7427a9_744x348.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!u3kr!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F19ccc84d-a076-48f4-b5fc-bb897d7427a9_744x348.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!u3kr!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F19ccc84d-a076-48f4-b5fc-bb897d7427a9_744x348.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" fetchpriority="high"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><h3><strong>2. Both BI and The Fed Kept Rates Unchanged</strong></h3><p>Amid heightened uncertainty, the Fed maintained its benchmark rate, adopting a &#8220;wait-and-see&#8221; approach as it balanced persistent inflationary pressures against a resilient but gradually moderating labour market. Similarly, BI kept rates unchanged to prioritize Rupiah stability. Indonesia&#8217;s March CPI rose to 3.8% YoY, above BI&#8217;s target range of 1.5% &#8211; 3.5%, limiting the central bank&#8217;s room for monetary easing in the near term.</p><div

delivered positive returns during the month, with all funds outperforming their respective benchmarks except for our Bond Fund.</strong> In particular, our equity-oriented portfolios outperformed the JCI, supported by our prior positioning in commodity-linked names. </p><p>Our AMP portfolios also generated positive returns and outperformed benchmarks. Performance in Risk 1 portfolios was primarily driven by gains in bond holdings, while returns in Risk 2&#8211;5 portfolios were mainly supported by our equity allocations.</p><h2><strong>Market Outlook &amp; Portfolio Positioning</strong></h2><p>Our outlook for May remains bearish, particularly due to geopolitical tensions that still persist. Elevated energy prices continue to raise concerns over inflationary pressures and Indonesia&#8217;s fiscal position. In addition, <strong>we expect the upcoming MSCI index rebalancing and continued Rupiah weakness to sustain foreign outflows, which could further pressure domestic markets.</strong></p><p>Given the fragile near-term risk sentiment, we are maintaining a defensive investment stance. <strong>In equities, our strategy remains focused on companies with strong earnings visibility and resilient fundamentals.</strong> We remain constructive on commodities, supported by elevated energy prices, resilient demand, and their role as a hedge against macroeconomic uncertainty and inflation.</p><p>Below are some of the stocks we bought and sold in April:</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Below is a quick breakdown of the key points. For the full analysis, you can access the complete report <em><strong><a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/simpan-bucket/static/documents/website/insights/Simpan%20Insights%20-%20Rupiah.pdf">here.</a></strong></em></p><h2><strong>Rupiah Depreciation Isn&#8217;t New</strong></h2><p>As shown in the chart below, the <strong>Rupiah has weakened by ~85% against the USD since 2005, translating to an annualized depreciation rate of ~2.9%</strong>. Two structural factors drive this weakness: inflation differentials between the U.S. and Indonesia, and a persistent current account deficit.</p><p>Since 2022, depreciation has accelerated to ~3.5% annually, reflecting the unwind of the global carry trade&#8212;the mechanism that supported the Rupiah throughout the 2010s.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link

With foreign ownership already significantly reduced, the scope for further selling is more limited.<strong> Our view is that, once the Rupiah begins to stabilize, the upside from renewed inflows could be more meaningful.</strong> That being said, the next major directional move in foreign positioning is more likely to be inflows rather than continued outflows.</p><h2><strong>What is the Rupiah Actually Worth?</strong></h2><p>Our Investment Team conducted three valuation frameworks: Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), Real Return Adjusted, and Real Effective Exchange Rate. <strong>Through these three frameworks, we conclude that the Rupiah is undervalued.</strong> For a more detailed explanation of our valuation methodologies, click <em><strong><a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/simpan-bucket/static/documents/website/insights/Simpan%20Insights%20-%20Rupiah.pdf">here </a></strong></em>to read our research paper.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!GSBI!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa3b6db3e-84e1-4f21-bb5e-916ce9025952_928x220.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!GSBI!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa3b6db3e-84e1-4f21-bb5e-916ce9025952_928x220.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!GSBI!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa3b6db3e-84e1-4f21-bb5e-916ce9025952_928x220.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!GSBI!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa3b6db3e-84e1-4f21-bb5e-916ce9025952_928x220.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!GSBI!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa3b6db3e-84e1-4f21-bb5e-916ce9025952_928x220.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!GSBI!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa3b6db3e-84e1-4f21-bb5e-916ce9025952_928x220.png" width="928" height="220" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/a3b6db3e-84e1-4f21-bb5e-916ce9025952_928x220.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:220,&quot;width&quot;:928,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:null,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!GSBI!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa3b6db3e-84e1-4f21-bb5e-916ce9025952_928x220.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!GSBI!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa3b6db3e-84e1-4f21-bb5e-916ce9025952_928x220.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!GSBI!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa3b6db3e-84e1-4f21-bb5e-916ce9025952_928x220.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!GSBI!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa3b6db3e-84e1-4f21-bb5e-916ce9025952_928x220.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>This suggests that the current exchange rate level is not a fundamental equilibrium but rather a liquidity and risk-premium price, driven by factors that are at least partially cyclical and therefore potentially reversible.</p><h2><strong>What&#8217;s Needed to Stabilize the Rupiah?</strong></h2><p>We identified three key factors, outlined below:</p><h3><strong>1. Necessary Conditions: The Cyclical Pivot</strong></h3><p>The Rupiah is heavily influenced by external &#8220;global gravity,&#8221; meaning domestic policy alone cannot stabilize it. <strong>A durable floor depends on three shifts: a credible Fed easing cycle to restore rate differentials and weaken the USD, lower oil prices (ideally below $85/bbl) to ease fiscal and current account pressures, and stable FX reserves to maintain market confidence.</strong> Without improvement in these factors, structural pressure on the IDR is likely to persist.</p><h3><strong>2. Structural Catalysts: The Policy Shift</strong></h3><p><strong>Cyclical improvements alone won&#8217;t stabilize the Rupiah; lasting strength requires shifting from a &#8220;trading proxy&#8221; to an investment-driven currency with steady USD inflows.</strong> This hinges on higher-quality FDI &#8212; particularly export-oriented manufacturing (&#224; la Vietnam) rather than commodity-linked inflows &#8212; alongside deeper domestic demand for government bonds to reduce reliance on foreign capital. Additionally, expanding local currency settlement and de-dollarization efforts can gradually reduce structural USD demand. Together, these reforms would build a more resilient and self-sustaining foundation for the IDR.</p><h3><strong>3. The Credit Rating Overhang: Indonesia&#8217;s Biggest Tail Risk</strong></h3><p>A sovereign downgrade is the biggest tail risk for the Rupiah, as it would trigger forced selling across bonds and equities and overwhelm BI&#8217;s ability to stabilize the currency.Indonesia currently holds investment-grade ratings from all three major agencies: Baa2 from Moody&#8217;s (equivalent to BBB), BBB from S&amp;P, and BBB from Fitch. But with negative outlooks, a cut toward BBB- or below could drive index exclusion, capital outflows, and higher borrowing costs. Key risks to watch are a widening fiscal deficit, rising debt levels, and weakening FX reserves. <strong>A shift from negative outlook to an actual downgrade would likely accelerate IDR depreciation.</strong></p><h2><strong>Given the Recent Rupiah Weakness, What Should Investors Do?</strong></h2><h3><strong>Equities:</strong></h3><p><strong>Maintain exposure to commodity linked and export oriented equities, especially companies that earn their revenue in USD </strong>(e.g. Indonesian coal, CPO, nickel producers). At the same time, be selective on import dependent sectors. Furthermore, watch the big-cap banks as a proxy for inflow; when foreign flows return, big caps are usually first.</p><h3><strong>Fixed Income:</strong></h3><p>Stay cautious. <strong>Favor short- to mid-duration SBNs and maintain higher cash buffers</strong>. Longer duration only becomes attractive once spreads stabilize and a Fed pivot is credible.</p><h2><strong>Bottom Line</strong></h2><p>To summarize, Rupiah weakness isn&#8217;t a mystery. It&#8217;s a result of years of inflation differentials, persistent current account deficits, and a steady withdrawal of foreign capital, leaving the currency on a structurally weaker path. Foreign investor behavior reinforces this: USD-based equity returns have been eroded by currency drags, while bond ownership has fallen to multi-decade lows as the carry trade becomes less attractive.</p><p>At the same time, valuation models suggest the Rupiah is meaningfully undervalued, suggesting that current levels are driven more by risk premium and global conditions than fundamentals. The key downside risk remains a potential credit rating downgrade, which could trigger forced outflows and further increase pressure on the currency.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://blog.simpaninvest.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading Insights by Simpan Asset Management!

Notably, the index fell sharply by -3.25% today, with broad-based selling across blue-chip and conglomerate stocks.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Meanwhile, Brent crude oil remains elevated at around USD $100/bbl, dampening investor sentiment as higher-for-longer energy prices raise concerns over inflation and Indonesia&#8217;s domestic fiscal policy. As a net oil importer, Indonesia is particularly exposed to rising oil prices, which may further strain fiscal conditions.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In addition to geopolitical pressures, continued Rupiah weakness has further weighed on sentiment. The currency remains near IDR 17,200/USD, surpassing levels seen during the COVID-19 pandemic. This reflects persistent &#8220;risk-off&#8221; positioning, with capital outflows from emerging markets such as Indonesia. While foreign investors recorded net outflows of approximately IDR 11.83T (as of April 24th), there were signs of selective accumulation, particularly in commodities &amp; energy, industrials, and consumer sectors, suggesting that while overall positioning remains cautious, foreign investors are gradually rotating into preferred segments rather than exiting the market entirely. Given ongoing Rupiah weakness, BI maintained its policy rate at 4.75% during its last meeting in April, prioritizing currency stability while balancing inflation and growth. With inflation at 3.48% in March, near the upper end of BI&#8217;s 1.5% &#8211; 3.5% target range alongside continued Rupiah weakness, the central bank is likely to remain on hold for longer.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Regionally, other Asian currencies such as the Philippine Peso and South Korean Won also weakened. In addition to equities, the bond market saw pressure as well from foreign outflows, with the 10-year Indonesian Government Bond yield rising to 6.72% as of today.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Simpan&#8217;s Views</strong></h2><p style="text-align: justify;">Given ongoing uncertainty around the duration and trajectory of the conflict, we expect market volatility to persist. As highlighted in our <em><strong><a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/simpan-bucket/static/documents/website/investor_update/Mar%202026_Simpan%20Monthly%20Investor%20Update.pdf">March Monthly Investor Update</a></strong></em>, a sustained shift back to &#8220;risk-on&#8221; would likely require either a clear de-escalation in the Middle East (specifically, a ceasefire driving Brent below USD $85/bbl) or stabilization in the Rupiah which in return would bring some relief to Indonesia&#8217;s fiscal spending.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Despite near-term volatility, our investment approach remains anchored in fundamentals. We continue to focus on resilient companies with solid earnings visibility, with meaningful exposure to commodity-linked sectors that are well-positioned in an inflationary environment. At the same time, we maintain selective exposure to sectors such as financials and telecommunications.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">When the market pulls back, we view it as an opportunity to further add exposure on names that are on our watchlist.

BI also held rates at 4.75%, prioritizing Rupiah stability and inflation control. However, they signaled room for rate cuts, provided the Rupiah stabilizes and inflation is controlled.</p><h2><strong>Simpan&#8217;s Funds Performance</strong></h2><p><strong>Amid broader market weakness, almost all our funds posted declines and underperformed benchmarks</strong>, with the exception of our money market funds. However, our equity-oriented portfolios still outperformed the JCI, supported by our prior positioning in commodity-linked sectors.</p><p>AMP portfolios also declined, with Risk 1 impacted by bond exposure, while Risk 2&#8211;5 reflected broad-based equity weakness.</p><h2><strong>Simpan&#8217;s Market Outlook </strong></h2><p><strong>We maintain a bearish outlook for April, driven by a &#8220;triple threat&#8221; of geopolitical tensions, currency instability, and MSCI rebalancing risks.</strong> Elevated oil prices above $100/bbl are expected to sustain inflationary pressures and pressure the Rupiah, while recent sovereign credit outlook downgrades have further weighed on foreign sentiment.</p><p><strong>We expect continued volatility ahead of the MSCI review</strong>, with potential weight reductions in Indonesian equities posing risks of passive outflows. A sustained shift back to risk-on conditions would likely require clear de-escalation in the Middle East (specifically, a ceasefire that brings Brent below $85/bbl), or meaningful Rupiah stabilization.</p><h2><strong>Portfolio Positioning</strong></h2><p><strong>Against this backdrop, we maintain a defensive and cautious positioning across both equities and fixed income.</strong> In equities, we are holding disciplined cash buffers, while our portfolio is heavily weighted towards commodity-linked sectors and inflation-resistant energy names. Specifically, we increased exposure to the coal sector, as well as a tactical allocation to select oil &amp; gas names.</p><p><strong>Below are some of the stocks we bought and sold.</strong></p><div

Iran launched further missile attacks on Israel, even as President Donald Trump signaled efforts to initiate a peace plan to end the conflict.</p><p>These developments have driven further spikes in the oil market and continued volatility across equity markets, both globally and domestically. <strong>For investors, periods of market turmoil like this often prompt the question: what should I do with my portfolio: hold, buy the dip, or sell?</strong></p><h3><strong>Volatility Can Create Opportunity</strong></h3><p><strong>History shows that periods of heightened market stress often present compelling entry points. </strong>While sell-offs can feel uncomfortable, markets have typically recovered over time.</p><p>A recent example can be seen during the tariff-driven volatility in April last year. The VIX (volatility index) surged to around 50, reflecting elevated fear, and major U.S. indices fell to early-year lows. However, investors who stayed the course saw a strong rebound, with the S&amp;P 500 eventually reaching new highs by year-end.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link

With Brent Crude Oil currently trading around USD $109 per barrel, inflationary pressures are rising&#8212;especially for oil-importing countries like Indonesia. <strong>As energy costs increase, demand for alternative sources such as coal tends to follow.</strong></p><p>This trend is also reflected in market flows. In March, foreign investors recorded net outflows of approximately ~IDR 7.14T, largely concentrated in banking names such as BBCA, BBRI, BBNI, and BMRI. <strong>At the same time, inflows have been directed toward commodity-related stocks, including gold exposure (EMAS) and coal names such as AADI, ITMG, PTBA, and ADRO.</strong></p><h3><strong>Portfolio Performance</strong></h3><p>As of March 27, our equity-oriented portfolios have declined on a year-to-date basis.

Notably, <strong>foreign inflows were concentrated in commodity-linked names such as EMAS, AADI, ITMG, and ADRO</strong>&#8212;sectors that have historically demonstrated resilience during periods of geopolitical uncertainty. On the other hand, outflows were concentrated towards banking stocks, including BBRI, BBCA, BMRI, and BBNI.</p><h3><strong>What&#8217;s Ahead?</strong></h3><p><strong>Markets are closely monitoring the upcoming FOMC meeting</strong> scheduled for March 18.

Team at Simpan has continued to take measured approaches. Ahead of the Ramadan holiday period, we have <strong>selectively trimmed positions and taken profits in names where our conviction has weakened given the shifting macro environment. </strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">However, <strong>we retain strong conviction in commodity-related sectors</strong>&#8212;including coal, gold, and oil &amp; gas&#8212;which we believe are well-positioned to outperform in an inflationary and geopolitically sensitive environment.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Our decision to hold higher levels of cash is a tactical move made in anticipation of market uncertainty </strong>during the Lebaran period. Once the market reopens following the holiday, we will carefully assess the situation to determine our ongoing investment strategy, and we&#8217;ll keep you updated along the way.</p><p>We wish you and your loved ones a blessed and peaceful Ramadan.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://blog.simpaninvest.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading Insights by Simpan Asset Management!

Over the weekend, President Donald Trump signaled plans to intensify attacks and Iran vowed to continue retaliatory strikes, which weakened risk sentiment significantly. As a result, the <strong>Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) declined further by -3.27% on Monday</strong> <strong>(March 9),</strong> with heightened uncertainty triggering broad-based selling among investors.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Concerns have also intensified around the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route that carries roughly 20% of global oil supply. <strong>Fears of potential supply disruptions pushed Brent crude oil prices above USD $100 per barrel on Monday</strong>, raising the risk of inflationary pressures for economies such as Indonesia, which is a net oil importer. At the same time, the Rupiah briefly weakened beyond the 17,000 level against the US Dollar, reflecting rising geopolitical risk and capital market volatility.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Last night, President Donald Trump suggested that the U.S.&#8211;Israel conflict with Iran could end &#8220;very soon,&#8221; though his remarks were mixed, noting that &#8220;we have won in many ways, but not enough,&#8221; indicating that the situation remains unresolved. Following the comments, oil prices declined to around ~$90 per barrel, although they continue to trade at significantly higher levels compared to a few weeks ago. The JCI also rebounded slightly, closing Tuesday higher by +1.41%. That said, <strong>market conditions remain fragile, and both oil prices and equity markets have yet to fully stabilize amid ongoing geopolitical uncertainty.</strong></p><h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Simpan&#8217;s Views</strong></h2><p style="text-align: justify;">We have previously advised clients to brace for volatility as the situation continues to evolve.<strong> Our  portfolio positioning remains the same.</strong> We are building higher cash levels where we see the need to,  trimming exposure to positions that no longer align with the current investment landscape.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Our portfolio remains highly allocated towards the commodity sectors</strong>: particularly coal, gold, and oil &amp; gas names. The existing allocations to energy and commodity producers already provide natural exposure to the areas of the market most directly affected by supply shocks and rising resource prices. This positioning allows the portfolio to participate in potential upside from commodity markets while also serving as a buffer against inflationary pressures that may arise from higher energy costs.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Our Investment Team has published a research paper discussing the evolving geopolitical landscape and the implications to commodities, Indonesian markets, as well as our portfolio positioning.

&#8220;Negative&#8221;,</strong> largely due to growing warnings about policy uncertainty around Danantara &amp; fiscal policy direction. The news caused a wave of selling across equities and bonds, with 5Y and 10Y yields spiking.</p></li></ul><h2><strong>Amid volatility, how did our funds perform?</strong></h2><p><strong>Despite broader market weakness, all our funds delivered positive performance in February</strong>, although our Equity Fund and Bond Fund underperformed benchmarks.</p><p><strong>Although the JCI corrected, our equity portfolios gained</strong>, as we realized profits opportunistically in names that have seen a sharp run up, particularly within the nickel sector. All our AMP portfolios also saw gains, though risk 2 - 5 portfolios slightly underperformed benchmarks.</p><p>For a closer look at the specific stocks we bought or sold, read our <em><strong><a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/simpan-bucket/static/documents/website/investor_update/Feb%202026_Simpan%20Monthly%20Investor%20Update.pdf">February Monthly Investor Update</a></strong></em>.</p><p>In Fixed Income, 10Y and 5Y yields traded higher, with foreign ownership stable at roughly 13% of total issuance.</p><h2><strong>Simpan&#8217;s Views</strong></h2><p><strong>With the ongoing geopolitical tensions, we expect markets to remain volatile in the near-term</strong>. We also expect uncertainties surrounding MSCI policy changes to further weigh on investor sentiment. Furthermore, rising oil prices following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz pose inflationary risks for Indonesia, a net oil importer, which could widen the fiscal deficit and place additional pressure on the Rupiah.</p><p>Amid ongoing equity volatility, we are adopting a &#8220;risk-off&#8221; stance, <strong>focusing on increasing exposure to commodity-linked stocks such as gold, coal, and oil &amp; gas</strong>, given their earnings resilience and effectiveness as hedges against macro and market volatility.</p><p><strong>Though we expect a bearish outlook for March, the recent correction has made equity valuations more compelling</strong>, allowing us to gradually increase allocation to equities for some of our AMP portfolios (risk 3 &#8211; 5). However, we remain cautious and are not positioning aggressively yet, as we continue to monitor developments closely while the situation evolves.</p><p><strong>In Fixed Income, we plan to gradually extend duration further, but are also staying cautious in the near-term due to inflationary pressure risks</strong> from higher oil prices, possible yield shocks in the government bond market driven by widening fiscal deficit concerns, and the persistence of elevated interest rates.</p><p>Thank you for your continued trust.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://blog.simpaninvest.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading Insights by Simpan Asset Management!

In 2014, the UK government issued the Western world&#8217;s first <strong>sovereign Sukuk</strong> (Islamic bond). Today, the <strong>London Stock Exchange</strong> has hosted more than <strong>$50 billion</strong> in Sukuk listings.</p><p>Even retail investors are participating.</p><p>The <strong>NEST Sharia Fund</strong>, available to any UK pension saver regardless of faith, had attracted <strong>over &#163;180 million</strong> by 2024.</p><p>Most of those investors were looking for exposure to <strong>technology, healthcare, and other productive sectors</strong> with an ethical framework.</p><h2>So what is a Sharia mutual fund?</h2><p>In simple terms, it&#8217;s a professionally managed fund that follows a few key principles. These typically include:</p><ul><li><p><strong>No interest-based income</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Certain sectors are excluded</strong> (such as alcohol, tobacco, gambling, weapons, and adult entertainment)</p></li><li><p><strong>No excessive speculation</strong></p></li><li><p><strong>Investments must be backed by real business activity</strong></p></li></ul><p>Each fund is also reviewed by a <strong>Sharia Supervisory Board</strong> to ensure it remains compliant.</p><p>What does that leave in the portfolio?</p><p>In practice, many holdings end up overlapping with <strong>ESG-aligned companies</strong> &#8212; businesses that emphasize responsible governance, sustainable growth, and long-term value creation.</p><h2>You don&#8217;t have to be Muslim to invest</h2><p>This is an important point: Sharia funds are inclusive investment products, not exclusive to Muslim investors.</p><p>Even NEST, one of the UK&#8217;s largest pension providers, states clearly:</p><p><em>&#8220;Anyone can invest in this fund, you don&#8217;t have to be Muslim.&#8221;</em></p><p>In practice, many investors choose these funds for the same reason they choose <strong>ESG investing</strong>. They want their money aligned with certain principles.</p><h2>Why investors pay attention</h2><p>Sharia funds exclude <strong>highly leveraged companies and speculative sectors</strong>.</p><p>That often means portfolios tilted toward businesses with <strong>strong balance sheets and real economic activity</strong>.</p><p>According to <strong>Refinitiv (2024)</strong>, Islamic funds have often <strong>matched or outperformed conventional funds</strong>, partly because they avoided banking stocks that were hit hardest during past crises.</p><p>England has already embraced it. Perhaps it&#8217;s time more investors take a closer look.</p><h5>This article is written in support of OJK&#8217;s Gerak Syariah initiative, which aims to increase public awareness and understanding of Sharia finance.</h5>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Important Update: Simpan Cash Syariah Fund Multi-Class Implementation]]></title><description><![CDATA[Simpan Cash Syariah Fund now offers two unit classes effective March 3, 2026.

Meanwhile, commodity prices like oil, gas, and coal prices have increased significantly given the US/Israel-Iran war.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Yesterday, the JCI reached an intraday low of -6.67% but closed out at -4.57%. Meanwhile, our Simpan Sustainable Equity Fund saw a maximum decline of around -6%, before recovering to close the day at approximately -5%, slightly underperforming the JCI. <strong>Our Balanced Fund and Amanah Syariah Fund outperformed the JCI</strong>, reflecting the benefit of diversified portfolio positioning during volatile market conditions. All our AMP portfolios outperformed the JCI.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Investment Team is monitoring developments closely, responding tactically, and actively managing the portfolios within our funds. Despite market volatility, our portfolio is well positioned with a higher weighting in commodities (see previous <em><strong><a href="https://blog.simpaninvest.com/p/geopolitical-tensions-rise-markets">articles</a></strong></em>). We continued to increase our position in commodity names over the past few weeks in light of heightened geopolitical risk and rising commodity prices.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In the short-term, we expect significant market volatility and price swings as the market adjusts to the development of the Middle Eastern war. We advise clients to brace heightened volatility in their portfolios, while we manage actively across our strategies. When markets stabilize, we think that it is an opportune time to invest further.</p><h2 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fund Performance</strong></h2><div

Naturally, this raises questions: Will this affect my investments? Is it time to withdraw? Should I be doing something differently?</p><p>In this article, we aim to provide clarity by outlining what&#8217;s happening, how we are assessing the situation, and how we believe investors should navigate the current environment with discipline and perspective.</p><h2><strong> </strong>&#128202; <strong>Weekly Market Commentary</strong></h2><p>The Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) closed the week lower by -3.66% WoW, with the sharpest declines occurring on Tuesday and Thursday, when the index fell by more than 1% on each day. Rising geopolitical tensions weighed heavily on market sentiment, prompting a broad shift toward a &#8220;risk-off&#8221; stance as investors rotated into safe-haven assets.</p><p>Uncertainty surrounding potential U.S. tariff increases added to market pressure, alongside escalating tensions in the U.S.&#8211; Iran conflict. Meanwhile, political instability in Mexico also contributed to global risk aversion following heightened national security concerns after the death of cartel leader &#8220;El Mencho.&#8221;</p><ul><li><p><strong>Top performing sectors</strong>: Financials, Transportation &amp; Logistics</p></li><li><p><strong>FX:</strong> Rupiah strengthened slightly, with USD/IDR closing out at 16,774 on Friday</p></li><li><p><strong>Market flows:</strong> Foreign investors were net buyers of ~IDR 1.69T.

It came in red envelopes during Chinese New Year, and I spent it without thinking twice.</p><p>I grew up in a Chinese household where Chinese New Year meant big family gatherings, endless food, and of course, angpaos. At the end of each visiting day, I would sit down with my cousin and count the envelopes. I would set aside some to buy new clothes or toys, and ask my parents to keep the rest for me.</p><p>I&#8217;ve always liked spending money. And I still do. The difference is today, I&#8217;m more intentional about where it goes.</p><p>Back then, most of my angpao money went to things that made me happy for a moment. Collectibles. Clothes. Small indulgences.</p><h1><strong>Seeing Money Differently</strong></h1><p>Now, as a working adult, I see money differently. I realize that most of what I spent my angpao money on brought short-term happiness, but no long-term value.</p><p>And this year, it changed.</p><p>Instead of spending extra money on things that are purely material, I decided to use it to secure my future self. Because the simple truth is: the earlier money starts working, the harder it works.</p><h1><strong>Putting Numbers Into Perspective</strong></h1><p>Let&#8217;s put numbers into perspective.</p><p>Assume I received IDR 5 million in angpao money each year for 5 years. If I had simply kept it untouched, it would total IDR 30 million at the end of the 5th year. But if it had been invested consistently in AMP Enhanced (Risk 3), a neutral risk profile with 5%&#8211;50% equity exposure, the outcome could have been significantly different.</p><p>The difference came from time, discipline, and compounding.</p><p><em>Notes: Data is based on backtested results</em></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"
