YOGYAKARTA - Minister of SOEs and General Leadership of PSSI Erick Thohir emphasized that athletes should set aside their income or bonuses for investment. The reason is, investment can protect future welfare when athletes retire. Curious about the investment of Indonesian athletes?

"These athletes must always be rich people because in fact your bonuses are big," said Erick Thohir at the Talk Inspiration event: Investing in the Main Hall of the Indonesia Stock Exchange Building, SCBD Area, Jakarta, Saturday (28/10/2023).

The appeal to invest has long been played by Indonesian national athletes. For example, footballer Ismed Sofyan, who has been playing for 21 years.

Throughout his career adventures to defend Persija or the National Team (Timnas), Ismed has set aside his income for future life.

"I'm preparing myself because my profession is very risky for injury and the risk is very big," said Ismed on the same occasion.

Realizing this matter, each income or bonus that Ismed gets is not only set aside for savings. He uses his money to invest in property and other investment assets.

Not only investment in the form of relics or assets, but Ismed has also prepared himself for his old life. When he retires, he wants to become a licensed soccer coach.

"Alhamdulillah, all this time I have obtained a license A Diploma, if I end the ball, I can train," said Ismed.

Irfan Bachdim Buys Villa

It is different with footballer Irfan Bachdim. Irfan chose to invest his money to buy a villa. This decision was taken when Irfan realized that he would not always be a soccer player.

"I have an investment in the form of a villa because I already have a child, if the ball stops, the income does not come in but must look for other income," said Irfan.

Aspar Jaelolo

Understanding for investing is also done by national rock climbing athlete Aspar Jaelolo. Aspar admitted that he always set aside half the bonuses he got for investing.

"If I get a bonus, save half of this to buy property, such as land or home," said Aspar at the same activity.

Not only in the form of immovable relics, Aspar also set aside each bonus that was obtained to create training programs and various businesses that could help family finances every day.

Aspar admitted that the investment strategy is always reminded of fellow athletes. Especially for young athletes to prepare themselves early on.

"I also often convey this to my fellow athletes," he concluded.
