The name Danareksa has a profound meaning. “Dana” means fund and “Reksa” means fiduciary. A fiduciary duty is the highest standard of care imposed in either equity or law. A fiduciary is expected to be extremely loyal to the principal to whom they owe the duty. They must not put their own interests before their duty, and must not profit from their position as a fiduciary, unless the principal consents. Because the fiduciary relationship is highlighted by good faith, loyalty and trust, fiduciaries must conduct themselves at a level higher than the norm.

Danareksa embodies the fiduciary trust in its Corporate Values of Integrity, Expertise, Transparency, Accountability and Fairness. A strong investment bank such as Danareksa is a key component of the nation’s overall economic growth and progress strategy. Currently, the national financial industry is still dominated by the corporate and retail banking sectors. Danareksa fills the void that the country needs in its investment banking sector and is crucial in balancing the change from a saving society to an investment society.

At Danareksa, we have the means to unlock long-term domestic resources for investment in sectors critical to Indonesia’s growth by increasing access to affordable alternative financial services. With over 30 years of experience since its founding in 1976 as a state-owned investment bank, Danareksa remains the singular Non Bank Financial Institution wholly owned by the Indonesian government. Over the years, Danareksa has grown into Indonesia’s premier investment bank. Its key businesses are investment banking, equity and debt capital markets, investment management and treasury.

Danareksa is a pioneering Indonesian financial institution and was the first to introduce mutual funds in Indonesia. It was also the first to launch a US Dollar-denominated fixed-income fund and promote syariah-based investments. Today, Danareksa is the only local company to offer direct market access services to clients worldwide and has grown to become the company that has underwritten the most equity and debt placements in Indonesia.

Subsequent to a corporate transformational change program begun in 2001, Danareksa has evolved into a lean and resilient entity focused on its core competencies. Having succeeded in creating a more diverse customer base, Danareksa is confident of a stable and recurring income flow for the future.
