Huru Hara Composite Stock Price Index 😅

Indonesian Market Analysis and MSCI Reclassification Risk
📌 The discussion centers on recent market turbulence, specifically focusing on the IHSG (Indonesia Composite Index) performance relative to Conglomerate Stocks (Konglo Stocks).
📌 Data from 2023 to early 2026 showed the IHSG rising 33%, but stripping out 12 major Conglomerate Stocks reduced growth to only 16%, indicating the rally was heavily driven by these few stocks.
📌 A major concern is the potential reclassification of Indonesia from an Emerging Market to a Frontier Market status by MSCI due to transparency issues concerning free float ownership, which could trigger massive foreign capital outflow.
📌 If the downgrade occurs, the worst-case scenario involves widespread losses across all investment types, including blue-chip and fundamental plays, as foreign investors will exit regardless of valuation.

Investment Strategies and Portfolio Management
💰 The speaker's personal strategy is currently focused on sideways trading, waiting for market stabilization to increase their dividend on cost in their portfolio.
💰 A shift in investment exposure occurred: the speaker moved from being strictly conservative (Indonesian stocks, mutual funds, deposits) to including US stocks (since 2022) and Cryptocurrency (in 2023).
💰 The speaker maintains a high level of liquidity, with over 50% of their net worth held in relatively safe buckets like RDPU (Money Market Mutual Funds), RDPT (Fixed Income Mutual Funds), and deposits.
💰 Diversification within RDPT is critical; it must be based on the underlying assets, not just the number of funds purchased, ensuring exposure to government bonds, various corporate bonds, and limiting overexposure to single conglomerates like Sinar Mas.

Risk Assessment and Behavioral Finance
⚠️ A key principle emphasized is evaluating investments based on Risk and Reward, not solely on high returns (reward). Receiving 100% return with potential for -99% downside is deemed an unfair risk-reward trade-off.
⚠️ The speaker aggressively cut 10% of their equity exposure in Indonesian stocks upon the first major crash in January, viewing disciplined action as the "right thing to do," despite missing out on potential upside if the market immediately rebounded.
⚠️ The speaker emphasizes that the main income source should remain active income (business/work), as passive investment growth (e.g., 10% annually) can yield greater cumulative wealth over 20 years than 15-20 years of direct labor income.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ MSCI Transparency is Key: Indonesian regulators must meet MSCI's demands for transparent free float information to avoid the Frontier Market downgrade, which would severely impact the entire market.
➡️ Diversify RDPT Internally: Do not diversify by buying many fixed-income funds; diversify based on what the funds actually hold (e.g., government vs. corporate bonds, different credit ratings).
➡️ Avoid Greed and Timing the Market: The most workable mindset is not being greedy; accepting missed buying opportunities (staggering entry) is better than constantly chasing the absolute lowest price.
➡️ Historical Precedent Exists: Similar market events involving conglomerate plays and subsequent corrections have occurred in other countries, such as India, which eventually saw a rebound; this offers a potential path forward for Indonesia.
