We require all new customers to agree to commit a minimum of IDR 200 million (200 juta Rupiah) to start using Verdana Partnership’s services. This is to ensure they are committed to us for the long term and not abusing our hard work.

Absolutely not. This is because our investment instrument is stocks, a vehicle for long term wealth accumulation, which have volatility embedded in the short term. In the short term, price can fluctuate wherever it wants. However, over the long run, stock prices will eventually follow the company fundamentals. If your fund is unused longer than 1 year, we are highly confident your portfolio will grow. If you expect returns below 1 year, investing in stocks is not for you. You may consider other asset classes such as bonds / money markets. If there is anyone offering you guaranteed returns higher than the risk free rate (i.e. government bonds), you should run away ASAP!

We use value-based approach when we generate our investment ideas. We will not attempt to predict future market movements, whether they will go up or down, because that is not important. What we consistently do is search for and identify undervalued stocks, both in the category of work-outs and general investments. Let we explain what ‘work outs’ are. Work out stocks are those whose value and price fluctuations depend more on specific corporate actions taken by the company rather than market fluctuations. These work outs can include actions such as sales, mergers, liquidations, tenders, and others. The risk of investing in such stocks lies in the possibility of the corporate action being canceled or failing, but there is less risk due to changes in the economy or a decline in the stock index. What we mean by ‘general’ stocks are regular stocks of companies that operate as usual, which we buy because they are undervalued. Stocks in this category are much more susceptible to market fluctuations, whether bullish or bearish, compared to stocks in the work-out category. Remember that just because a stock is undervalued (cheap) does not mean its price cannot drop when the stock index corrects. For the full year's performance, we would be satisfied if our portfolio achieved a performance 10% above the IHSG. Thus, it can be said that the past four years have been successful for Verdana Partnership, which was established in 2020. We have extensively attached our sample investment thesis in another article: https://bit.ly/VPThesis. We also provide our proof of transactions (from one of our clients) to demonstrate our conviction in our past thesis.
