With Just Rp 5,000, Everyone Can Become an Investor in the Capital Market
KABAR TASIKMALAYA - The investment business utilizing the capital market is showing a fairly positive trend in society, including among students to Gen Z. Realizing that there are great opportunities in the investment business, especially the capital market, the Investment Gallery of the Faculty of Economics, Siliwangi University (Unsil) continues to encourage students to take the opportunity to invest.
So in order to educate and stimulate student interest in investing, the FEB Investment Gallery held a capital market school for around 200 students taking capital market courses at the FEB Unsil Auditorium Building on Wednesday, August 14, 2024.
In the Investment Gallery's routine activities, they were provided with materials including stock application guides and Analysis for Investment Plans and initial strategies for maximum results in the capital market.
The two materials were discussed quite in depth by two speakers, namely Tine Badriatin, S.Sos., M.Si., M.M (Lecturer FEB Unsil - KKP Tasikmalaya PT. Reliance Sekuritas Indonesia, Tbk) and Errin Nur Rahmayanti (KP BEI West Java). The event was also filled by the Coordinator of the capital market course Wilman San Marino, S.E., M.M who gave introductory material to the capital market.
Head of the Banking and Finance Study Program of FEB Hj Noneng Masitoh MM when opening the event was grateful because with this event, students can get to know better about what investment is and how to make good and correct investments.
“This activity is very good because it will play a role in encouraging students to have additional skills so that they are better prepared to work after college. Because they can find out the actual implementation and management of the capital market,” said Noneng. This can also encourage the Main Performance Index (IKU).
The management of the Indonesia Stock Exchange Investment Gallery (GIBEI) FEB UNSIL - RELI Rd.Lucky Radi Rinandiyana SE, M.S said that investing in the capital market is now an attractive alternative to filling other income niches. Because currently the public is still quite unfamiliar with investing in the capital market line. Because usually most forms of investment are physical in nature such as land or buildings.
Meanwhile, the times have progressed, so that investment instruments are now more diverse. “Of course, there is a little concern if students who have their own income, purchasing power and want to invest are confused. Because most students are oriented towards holding companies, organizations or others,” said Lucky.
So they often forget not to complete an understanding of financial literacy for themselves. Now Lucky, who is completing his doctoral program at Unpas, said that this should not be forgotten. Regarding the image of the capital market industry that must require large capital, he emphasized that investing in the capital market can start with a capital of Rp 5 thousand.
“The cheapest share price, for example, is Rp 50 rupiah. If you buy one lot of one hundred shares, it's only Rp 5,000. So with a capital of Rp 5 thousand, you have become an investor,” he said. Only, he said, don't forget the big risks that always have the potential to get in the way.
The profit in the capital market can be obtained from the difference in buying and selling prices. “In addition, there are also benefits in the form of dividends where every company that is active in the capital market, holds an AGM every year to determine the profits given to investors,” he said.
Only before deciding to invest, it is important to recognize the product and the risks. “Of course potential investors need to have a strategy when it's time to buy, hold or release. Moreover, behind investment there is a twin brother, namely high risk,” said Lucky, who is also the head of the FEB Unsil management study program.
Gibei itself is an organization that is a means of interaction for students of the faculty of economics as a forum for developing students' abilities and abilities about investing in the world of capital markets. GIBEI FEB Unsil has a WPPEP capital market license.
