The Indonesian investors
After the shock of the Asian crisis the Indonesian market underwent deep structural changes. Consumers/investors started giving more weight to quality, transparency and profits, while their brand loyalty decreased favouring a more competitive environment. On the offer side companies had to provide a larger variety of more complex and high quality products and services.
The rise in Indonesian personal wealth has been remarkable in the past 10 years and it proved 
resilient even in bad times like during the credit crunch in 2008. This trend shapes a market which is not so dependend on foreign investors as one could think but more on internal demand making it more resilient to systemic shocks.
The Indonesian macroeconomic outlook is positive on the back of infrastructure development, recovering consumer spending, domestic investment and FDI, as well as a relatively stable currency.
Asia Pacific investors are well diversified in their asset allocations. Compared to the other Asian investors, Indonesians have quite a high level of exposure to alternative investments (around 10%), which include structured products, commodities, hedge funds, private equity and venture capital.
