akarta-based fund manager Aberdeen Asset Management has teamed up with securities company Philip Securities Indonesia to sell its products online to target more investors across the country.
“We are aware that e-commerce has increased significantly, in line with the growth of mobile phone users. This is why we have started to sell our products online,” Aberdeen Asset Management president director Sigit Wiryadi said in Jakarta on Tuesday.
Philip Securities was chosen as a partner, she said, because of its success in selling more than 100 mutual fund products of 22 investment managers through its e-commerce platform.
Currently, two of Aberdeen’s products, namely Aberdeen Indonesia Money Market Fund and Aberdeen Indonesia Balanced Growth Fund, are available on the platform.
The company intends to list three other products — Aberdeen Indonesia Equity Fund, Aberdeen Indonesia Government Bond Fund and Aberdeen Indonesia Bond Fund — on the platform next month.
“We hope investors can easily monitor their investments anywhere, anytime through the e-commerce platform,” Sigit added. (vny/ags)
