Meanwhile, the Daily Executive of the Head of the Riau Islands Representative Office at the Indonesia Stock Exchange, Indra Novita also said that the level of capital market literacy starts with a wise attitude in managing personal finances. From there, if all people have started to be wise in managing their finances, the level of awareness of investing can be higher, such as the use of mutual fund investment products.
"Before buying mutual funds, the first step we have to do is understand what our respective risk profiles are before allocating them," said Indra.
One investment instrument that is suitable for beginners is a fixed income mutual fund. Through fixed income mutual funds, investors can allocate their money for long-term needs.
For example of a fixed income mutual fund is MNC Dana Likuid and MNC Dana Syariah which can be purchased starting from Rp. 100,000 through the MotionFunds website which can be accessed at the address www.motionfunds.id
