JAKARTA - Danantara Chief Investment Officer (CIO), Pandu Patria Sjahrir revealed that Danantara has been actively investing in the capital market since the end of 2025 and carries out investment activities every day. However, he emphasized that the amount of funds allocated would not be opened to the public.
"Yes, but it won't be called. Because it is important, because it can later be considered market distortion, and other things, but we invest every day," said Pandu after the China Conference: Southeast Asia (CCSEA) 2026, Jakarta, Tuesday, February 10.
Pandu explained that Danantara's investment strategy in the capital market is not limited to state-owned enterprise (BUMN) shares. According to him, Danantara sees broader investment opportunities by prioritizing the quality of the company's fundamentals.
"No, all of them. So we don't choose like that, we look at fundamental stocks, it doesn't mean only state-owned companies. Private (private) stocks are also companies, there are many good ones, we have to look at them too," he said.
In the CCSEA 2026 forum, Pandu also revealed Danantara's big plan to play a more active role in the development of the national capital market. He said Danantara wanted to help regulators in encouraging the performance and deepening of the Indonesian capital market.
Pandu said that one of the steps mentioned was Danantara's plan to become a shareholder of the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Pandu said that this step was inspired by the practice of demutualization of exchanges that have been successfully carried out in a number of countries.
"We have to learn from what India has done. We also have to learn from Hong Kong. Hong Kong, in a certain sense, is our big brother or big sister," said Pandu.
Previously, Pandu had also explained the criteria for stocks that were the target of Danantara's investment. He said that Danantara would only enter stocks with strong fundamental conditions and healthy financial performance.
"We are active, actively buying stocks that we say have attractive valuations, good companies, with good cash flow, and also with good fundamentals and liquidity," Pandu told the media at the BEI Jakarta Building, Monday, February 2.
