Jakarta. KB Bukopin recently announced that it had forged a partnership with UOB Asset Management Indonesia.

Under this partnership, KB Bukopin customers can find UOBAM Indonesia mutual fund products by visiting KB Bukopin branch offices starting in the first semester of 2023. Those who wish to purchase UOBAM Indonesia mutual fund products can also open an account at the nearest Bank KB Bukopin branch. 

"The partnership with UOBAM Indonesia is expected to be able to meet the increasing demands of investors for mutual funds, as well as assist investors in diversifying their investments more effectively to achieve their financial goals," Robby Mondong, deputy president director of KB Bukopin, was quoted as saying in a recent press statement.

"Not only that, we hope this collaboration can help the government's financial literacy and inclusion programs by providing information on appropriate investment product choices," Robby said.

According to Robby, KB Bukopin believes that mutual funds are a potential choice for investment as they can meet customers' needs by offering a diversified portfolio with an affordable minimum purchase. The bank also recommends customers go for professionally managed mutual funds, such as those of UOBAM Indonesia.

KB Bukopin and UOBAM Indonesia are also planning to host a series of training, webinars, and other events to raise awareness about the importance of sustainable investing.

"UOBAM promotes sustainability by placing environmental, sustainability, and governance (ESG) impacts as the foundation of our business. We believe in achieving profit and goals by investing in the future. In line with the spirit of cooperation that has just been established with KB Bukopin, UOBAM Indonesia will provide a range of products that suit the profile and risk appetite of KB Bukopin's customers," Ari Adil, the president director of UOBAM Indonesia, said.
