Why Invest in Mutual Funds Rather Than Buying Directly in the Capital Market?

Investing in the capital market is indeed relatively profitable due to high liquidity and clear regulation. Generally speaking, investors can choose to invest directly or through mutual funds. So, what are the benefits of investing in mutual funds?

Investing in mutual funds is relatively more affordable for beginners

With mutual funds, you can start from Rp10,000 per top-up transaction, without needing to buy 1 lot (100 shares) which is the minimum purchase requirement for stocks.

Reduces the risk of poor investment choices for beginners

With mutual funds, you only need to buy investment packages that have been "prepared" by experienced Fund Managers, rather than having to select from hundreds of issuers in Indonesia. These packages are called Units and already contain a selection of various stocks and bonds.

More efficient for the average investor

To select the right stocks, comprehensive analysis is required, whether through top-down or bottom-up analysis. Both analyses require continuous monitoring by a reliable team. Investors will save considerable time and effort.

No tax liability

With mutual funds, investors are not subject to tax as the tax is borne by the Investment Manager.
