JAKARTA - As many as 45 clients of PT Jouska Finansial Indonesia have reached a peace agreement. CEO Jouska Aakar Abyasa Fidzuno said that currently his party is still focused on resolving disputes with its clients.

As is known, the dispute occurred because of the customer fund management agreement between Jouska's client and PT Mahesa Strategis which resulted in investment losses.

"The value of the peace agreement between Mahesa and Jouska's 45 clients to date has reached at least Rp 13 billion," he said, during a virtual press conference, Tuesday, September 1.

Aakar said that the amount of money that has been disbursed to date is Rp. 13 billion, unlike what has been published in the mass media up to Rp. 40 billion.

"At this time, why should I step forward and take responsibility, because I think someone should be responsible for this incident," he said.

Furthermore, Aakar explained, the form of this peace agreement is not the same from one client to another and is not always in the form of cash. Some of them are in the form of buyback or buyback of PT Sentral Mitra Informatika Tbk (LUCK) shares owned by the client by Mahesa, reducing the profit on the lost stock investment, or without compensation because the client finally understands this case as an investment loss in the stock market.

So far, 63 Jouska clients have filed complaints with Jouska out of 328 clients who have developed their stock portfolios, either independently or through the help of stock brokers in Mahesa.

Aakar claims, the percentage of clients who have submitted complaints is less than 5 percent of Jouska's active clients since early 2020 which has reached 1,700 clients.

"I am grateful for the cooperation and trust of the Jouska client in this peace agreement. For me personally, the client is number one, and I understand the financial condition of several clients who are also affected by COVID-19. Therefore I take this responsibility by proposing a solution. in the form of a peace agreement, "he said.

Aakar hopes that the dispute between Jouska and his clients can be resolved quickly without further upheaval in the financial industry.
