UNSOED's SPM becomes a platform for practical investment learning
Unsoed's Capital Market School (SPM) has become a highly anticipated event for students and members of the public interested in learning about investment. In the second session of SPM, participants will not only receive theoretical knowledge but also practical guidance on how to open a stock account and engage in securities trading simulations.
“This program is designed to help novice investors better understand capital market instruments, transaction mechanisms, and risk management. Through SPM, we aim to encourage the younger generation to start investing early without hesitation,” said Dr. Rio Dhani Laksana, MSc, CFP, CSA, CAPM, Chairman of the Committee.
Indonesia's capital market presents significant opportunities when backed by sufficient knowledge. The event attracted hundreds of participants in person, highlighting the strong interest among young people in financial literacy.
"In the future, Unsoed Investment Gallery plans to conduct more training sessions like this one, aiming to engage a broader audience through partnerships with local communities and schools in the Banyumas area. With this SPM I initiative, we hope to educate more people, especially the younger generation, so they can enter the world of investment wisely and contribute to Indonesia's economic growth in the future," he stated.
He added that the SPM II activity was not only an educational event but also created strong synergies between academia, capital market participants, and financial regulators. The hope is that this strategic collaboration among Unsoed, IDX, Sinar Mas Sekuritas, and OJK will continue with other innovative programs, such as stock analysis workshops, virtual investment competitions, and special assistance for novice investors.
Therefore, efforts to enhance financial literacy extend beyond theory and have a tangible impact on cultivating a young generation that is investment-savvy and capable of contributing positively to the national economy.
