“But, it should wait for the shareholders approval,” he said in the public expose of bond issuance II/2009.

The company has studied some investment managers to market mutual fund using asset-backed securities instruments issued twice by the company along this year.

The amount of derivative securities issuance here stood at IDR502 billion but mostly absorbed by the SMF as the standby buyer.

Later the retail investors could enjoy protected mutual funds which will be formed using asset-backed securities (EBA) particularly EBA DSMF-BTN 02/2009 recently issued by the company. “The coupon (of EBA) is still lucrative and better enjoyed by mutual fund investors either.” (21)
