The firms said the Schroders Indonesia team, present in the country for more than 30 years, is the fifth largest asset manager in Indonesia and the largest independent asset management platform in the Southeast Asian country.
As of 30 June 2025, MAMI managed IDR101.7 trillion ($6.043 billion) in assets. As of 30 June 2025, Schroders managed assets totalling more than IDR56 trillion in Indonesia.
