Konglomerat BCA Hartono Gandeng Bahana Launchs Exclusive Money Market Fund Reksa Products

JAKARTA - PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BCA) in collaboration with PT Bahana TCW Investment Management launched a new Reksa Dana product called Bahana Gebyar Dana Likuid (BGDL).

The product complements the investment instruments that are already available through various BCA investment channels, especially through the BCA Wealth Management (WELMA) application.

BCA Director Haryanto Budiman said the presence of the new mutual fund product was motivated by the interest and enthusiasm of the community to continue to grow in investment.

Amid the challenges of COVID-19, rising inflation and the dynamic global economic situation, the choice to invest must be carefully thought about, especially for products that can provide attractive returns for future preparation.

"BGDL managed by Bahana TCW comes exclusively for BCA customers to adjust the increasing investment needs," Budiman told the media, Kamsi, September 1.

He explained that the latest mutual fund product offered by BCA has a very conservative risk profile because its portfolio has low risk and fluctuations.

In addition, this product can be used as an appropriate alternative for customers and people who want to diversify portfolios in the midst of the current situation.

"This product can be traded either through the BCA Branch Office which serves investment transactions or the WELMA application," he continued.

Haryanto added that the BGDL product is expected to provide investment solutions for BCA customers, as well as add company managed funds that continue to increase over time.

Until the first semester of 2022, the performance of BCA's managed funds grew positively, as seen from the growth of under management assets (AUM) for mutual fund products and bonds which reached 54 percent year on year.

One of the things that supports this growth is the WELMA application, which provides convenience for customers to transact online, starting from registering and creating online SID, to transactions for investment products such as buying bonds ranging from Rp. 1 million and mutual funds starting from Rp. 100,000.

Investment transactions through the WELMA BCA application show a positive trend. We recorded customers who had downloaded the WELMA application reaching more than 475,000 downloaders with a nominal transaction of more than Rp50 trillion, since it was launched at the end of 2019 until August 2022. In the future, we are committed to always providing solutions according to customer needs and making it easier for customers to transact appropriate investment solutions," concluded Haryanto.

President Director of Bahana TCW, Rukmi Proborini added, this BGDL product is a type of Money Market Fund Reksa which has strict and measurable screening criteria and is specially developed in talor-made following the characteristics and needs of Bank BCA customers and will be sold exclusively at Bank BCA.

This mutual fund has an ideal composition of 60 percent in bonds, both corporations and the government with a tenor under one year, while the remaining 40 percent are invested in futures deposits.

"This product prioritizes measurable risk management without setting aside the optimal yield potential for investors at BCA," said Rukmi.
