Minggu, 14 Oktober 2018
BANDUNG - Governor of West Java Ridwan Kamil and Deputy Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources of the Republic of Indonesia Arcandra Tahar participated in the 2018 BNI ITB Ultra Marathon competition by becoming runners in the 10K and 5K categories on Sunday (14/10) morning.
This running competition is a momentum for the entire academic community of the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) to love their campus by investing their money in mutual fund products specifically designed to raise the Endowment Fund for ITB's future development. This is also a rare opportunity for the public to obtain electronic money products specifically produced by BNI to enliven this spectacular running competition, namely the 2018 BNI ITB Ultra Marathon Edition TapCash Card.
Present on the occasion of Finishing the BNI ITB Ultra Marathon 2018 at the ITB Campus, Bandung, BNI Director of Institutional Relations Adi Sulistyowati. On this occasion, BNI is assisting ITB in collecting, managing and developing endowment funds (sustainable funds), because as a tertiary institution with a legal entity, ITB must be more independent in finding its own funding sources. This endowment fund was collected from the ITB academic community, especially alumni and ITB enthusiasts. The endowment fund jointly developed between BNI and ITB is in the form of a mutual fund called the ITB Harmoni BNI AM Mutual Fund which is managed by PT BNI Asset Management (hereinafter referred to as “BNI-AM”) which is a subsidiary of BNI.
"Since 1968 BNI has been in ITB. It is an honor for BNI to be part of the ITB Ultra Marathon," said Adi Sulistyowati who is familiarly called Susi.
This mutual fund is managed by one of BNI's subsidiaries, namely BNI Asset Management (BNI-AM), so it is named the ITB Harmoni BNI-AM Mutual Fund.
BNI-AM has been working with ITB for 1 year in managing the BNI-AM Harmoni ITB Mutual Fund. This BNI-AM Harmoni ITB Mutual Fund is a Fixed Income type Mutual Fund issued with the aim of earning interest and appreciation of the principal value with a minimum basic asset of 80% in Debt securities issued in Indonesia and a maximum of 20% in Money Market instruments and/or Deposit.
The way to purchase the ITB Harmoni BNI-AM Mutual Fund is through a BNI-AM Mutual Fund Selling Agent, either at a securities company, Bank BNI branch, or Online Selling Agent with prices starting at IDR 100,000 per unit of participation. As information, investors can find out the performance of this Mutual Fund, through the website at the Mutual Fund selling agents as well as the NAV (Net Asset Value) report that is sent by the Custodian Bank on a regular basis. Part of the return on investment will be allocated to develop the ITB Sustainable Fund.
"Currently the composition of investors investing in the BNI-AM Harmoni ITB Mutual Fund consists of the ITB alumni community & BNI-AM institutional investors. We hope that all students & all alumni as well as other ITB academics can participate in investing for the progress of ITB because the investment returns from this Mutual Fund can be used for campus development both for research, scholarships, development of facilities and campus infrastructure," said Reita Farianti as Main Director BNI Asset Management.
Along with this event, BNI also handed over assistance to ITB, namely the BNI Student Lounge. The hope is that this can be a place for discussion for students.
"BNI renovated one of the areas in the Faculty of Business and Management ITB to become the BNI Student Lounge. This area can be used by millennials to interact and discuss. In this area with a capacity of up to 50 people, students can also access the latest information from the faculty, including financial information." added Susie.
To support these millennials, BNI has prepared 4,250 special edition TapCash Cards for the BNI ITB Ultramarathon 2018 which runners can also use for transactions, both during the Flag Off event taking place at the BNI Head Office, the Finish event at the ITB Campus, and after the competition is over.
