Gold and bond investment trends in Southeast Asia

Overview

Investors are increasingly utilizing gold and government bonds to manage risk and stabilize portfolios. In Indonesia, pension fund manager AXA Mandiri shifted toward low-risk assets, increasing its allocation to Indonesian government securities (SBN) by 14.49% year-on-year while reducing equity exposure.

As gold prices fluctuate and rise, investment behaviors in Southeast Asia have diversified. In Bengkulu Selatan, Indonesia, local gold prices reached Rp2,350,000 per gram, a movement tied to national trends and the US dollar. In Malaysia, the rising gold market has prompted varied responses: some individuals are selling gold to lock in profits or secure cash, while long-term investors are maintaining or increasing their holdings.
