Why does Gotrade Indonesia have a specific selection of stocks?
Gotrade Indonesia operates as a platform for US Stock Derivatives (PALN) in partnership with PT Valbury Asia Futures, which is fully regulated in Indonesia. The number of available stocks is determined by the specific list of "underlying assets" approved by Indonesian regulators. Because each stock must be vetted and authorized for derivative trading within the local legal framework, the catalog is more curated than platforms operating in other jurisdictions
How does the partnership with Valbury Asia Futures work?
When you trade on Gotrade Indonesia, you are entering into a contract with PT Valbury Asia Futures. These contracts track the real-time price of US stocks. Valbury then hedges these positions with international brokers (like Alpaca Securities) to ensure your trades are backed by real market movement. This multi-layered regulatory structure ensures the platform remains compliant with Indonesian law, which can lead to a more selective stock list.
Why is there a difference between stocks offered on Gotrade and other platforms?
Gotrade are compliant to the latest BAPPEBTI regulations regarding the stocks allowed to be offered on PALN platform listed in https://bappebti.go.id/resources/docs/peraturan/sk_kep_kepala_bappebti/sk_kep_kepala_bappebti_2024_02_19_cz1t4hxw_id.pdf. We are closely monitoring the changes in regulations as PALN regulatory structure transitions to OJK. We consider the safety and compliance of your investment with the highest regards to ensure a smooth investing journey for our customers.
Will more stocks be added in the future?
Yes. We are constantly working with Valbury and Indonesian regulators to expand the list of approved underlying assets. As more US stocks meet the liquidity and regulatory requirements for the Indonesian market, they will be added to the platform.
