Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI) and the Asosiasi Manajer Investasi Indonesia (AMII), the Indonesian Investment Managers Association, on Saturday inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen bilateral financial and economic best practices.
This partnership is set to strengthen the mutual fund sectors in both countries, enrich industry standards, and promote investor education and financial literacy, paving the way for a more dynamic, transparent, and globally integrated mutual fund ecosystem.
The MoU will create a platform for India and Indonesia to exchange best practices, insights, and strategies aimed at boosting the mutual fund industries.
The partnership will cover understanding and need of broad spectrum of areas, including requirement for regulatory reforms, governance standards, essential investor protection steps, data analytics, research, product innovation, and risk management ensuring that both countries benefit from each other's expertise and experiences.
The MoU was signed here where a delegation of 12 top CEOs from Indonesia's mutual fund industry accompanied the Indonesian President on his state visit to India.

A strong capital market and a thriving asset management industry, as exemplified by the success of India's mutual fund sector, will play a crucial role in achieving these milestones. This collaboration will lay the foundation for a sustainable and globally competitive mutual fund industry in both countries," Navneet Munot, Chairman, AMFI, said.
