The investment management instrument is very much needed for guarantee companies. That experience and expertise is what underlies Aspenda to be able to establish a partnership with MNC Asset.
"From the cooperation, we get a lot of direction or input in terms of fund management instruments. That is the field of MNC Asset Management. So we are quite helped," he explained, Thursday (1/8).
The man who is also Plt. The President Director of Jamkrida Jabar continued, Jamkrida or companies under Aspenda are indeed companies engaged in guaranteeing. Companies in Aspenda manage public funds, especially from the Guarantee Service Fee (IJP).
Therefore, Aspenda needs a strategy so that fund management can be efficient and effective. Input from MNC Asset Management is certainly needed.
"We also manage public funds, especially from IJP income in terms of guarantee services. Each company is quite large so we must manage these funds as efficiently and effectively as possible to make income for the company," he continued.
It was recorded that the IJP of Jamkrida throughout Indonesia in 2023 was recorded at Rp 1.48 trillion. That figure increased when compared to 2022 which was at Rp 855 billion.

The number of MSMEs is only in West Java, not in other regions throughout Indonesia. If calculated with other Jamkrida throughout Indonesia, of course the amount is quite large.
