🇮🇩 Indonesia's Danantara will potentially become the 4th largest sovereign wealth fund in the world!   1982 Ventures Herston Elton Powers was recently interviewed by DealStreetAsia on Indonesiaʼs move to set up a mega state-owned investment company (Danantara), which will subsequently manage assets worth nearly $1 trillion. "We expect Danantara to create a new wave of opportunities for entrepreneurs and venture capitalists. With that said, venture capital requires a unique skillset, a high risk tolerance, and a long-term perspective. Danantara will need to build an expert team and find the right partners to navigate the VC world effectively." "With the right leadership and vision, it has the potential to reshape the country's economic landscape and inject rocket fuel into Indonesia's startup and VC ecosystem." According to DSA's reporting, Danantara will eventually have assets under management (AUM) worth $982 billion. These assets will be derived from SOE entities, which will be gradually incorporated into Danantara. Danantara will consolidate Indonesia Investment Authority (INA) $10.8-billion AUM and assets from seven SOE entities, bringing the total AUM to $600 billion. The seven SOE entities include, namely PT Bank Mandiri (Persero) Tbk., PT. BANK NEGARA INDONESIA (Persero) Tbk. (BNI), PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (Persero) Tbk, PT PLN (Persero), PT Pertamina (Persero); Telkom Indonesia, Mining Industry Indonesia MIND ID 💡 A few thoughts below: Danantara is poised to be a game-changer. Danantara has the potential to become an investment powerhouse like Temasek and other major SWFs. Danantara should play a critical role in driving strategic investment to foster innovation and economic growth, while enhancing governance and transparency of SOEs.  If Danantara is established with the proper infrastructure (i.e. independence, governance and professional talent) it could inspire more confidence among global investors. This is a bold move by Indonesia. Danantara could become a magnet for global capital and support the government in achieving its FDI targets. Ensuring transparent and professional governance will be essential for the long-term success of this bold initiative. We're watching Danantara closely. We expect Danantara to start cautiously, focusing on strategic sectors and building its portfolio gradually. This should increase investment into sectors such as infrastructure, technology, renewable energy, and healthcare. Scott Krivokopich Amiyandra . Jenny Goh Muhammad Mairaj Khalid James Kim Allen L.
