Jakarta · Institutional financing against IDX-listed equity

Borrow against your IDX-listed shares.

An Indonesia stock loan turns a concentrated holding into liquidity — without selling, without surrendering ownership, and without leaving the register.

01 · The instrument
Pledge, not sale

What an Indonesia stock loan actually is.

A stock loan is a financing secured by a pledge of your IDX-listed shares. You draw cash against the value of the holding while the shares remain yours — and you recover them in full when the loan is repaid.

The mechanics are simple to state. You pledge listed shares as collateral, capital is advanced against an agreed loan-to-value, and the position is held under documented custody for the term. Throughout, you keep beneficial ownership of the shares, the full economic upside of the position, and — depending on how the structure is built — your dividend entitlement and your vote.

When the loan matures and is repaid, the pledge is released and the shares return to you, unchanged. The transaction leaves no permanent mark on your holding.

A sale ends your relationship with the company. A stock loan simply borrows against it for a while.

Sale vs. pledge

The contrast with an outright disposal is the whole point. Selling realises cash but permanently removes you from the position — forfeiting the upside, potentially triggering tax, disclosure, and control consequences, and signalling to the market. A stock loan extracts only the capital you need and preserves everything else.

03 · Key terms
Structured per transaction

The terms that shape an Indonesian stock loan.

No two listed positions are alike, so terms are structured around the specific ticker rather than quoted from a rate card. The framework below is indicative.

ALoan-to-value

Indicative LTV

Varies with the liquidity, volatility, free float, and concentration of the underlying share. A figure is issued only after review of the specific holding.

BTenor

12–36 months

Typical terms run from one to three years, with renewal and early-repayment mechanics agreed in the documentation.

CInterest

Fixed or floating

Interest may be fixed or floating, and either serviced periodically or rolled into the structure for the life of the loan.

DRecourse

Recourse profile

Non-recourse, limited-recourse, or full-recourse, depending on the structure and the collateral. See recourse profiles in Indonesia.

EEligible collateral

IDX Main & Dev Board

Shares listed on the Main Board and selected Development Board counters, including holdings in sectors subject to foreign-ownership limits.

FMinimum size

From IDR 15B

Transactions are typically structured for positions valued from IDR 15 billion upward, with no defined upper bound.

04 · Mechanics
KSEI · C-BEST · custody · corporate actions

How the pledge works in Indonesia.

An IDX position is not generic collateral. Scripless settlement, KSEI custody, and corporate-action handling all sit at the centre of how a stock loan is built.

  • 01
    Held at the depository. Your shares stay in your own securities sub-account and are held in scripless, book-entry form in the C-BEST system at the Indonesian Central Securities Depository (KSEI), the central depository for IDX-listed securities; the lender's security comes from its rights over that account.
  • 02
    Custody fits the structure. Custody arrangements are matched to the agreed structure and recourse profile, with the collateral held in a manner appropriate to both.
  • 03
    Margin & top-up, documented up front. Any margin maintenance and top-up mechanics are defined at the outset, so the rules of the term are clear before funding.
  • 04
    Corporate actions & dividends. Treatment of dividends, rights, and other corporate actions is set out in the documentation and aligned to how the position is structured.
05 · Disclosure
Capital Market Law · OJK · 5% rule

Reporting, mapped before execution.

Disclosure is mapped at the structuring stage — never discovered after the fact.

Disclosure obligations turn on the shareholder's status and the size of the position. Under the Capital Market Law (UU No. 8 of 1995, as amended) and OJK regulations, holders of 5% or more of a listed company — and subsequent changes in that holding — are reportable to the Financial Services Authority (OJK) under the substantial-shareholding rules (POJK No. 3/POJK.04/2021).

Whether and how a particular pledge structure interacts with these thresholds is assessed per transaction, well ahead of any funding, so there are no reporting surprises. For a fuller treatment, see our note on Indonesian disclosure mechanics.

This is a general description of the reporting framework, not legal advice. Specific obligations are confirmed with Indonesian counsel as part of each transaction.

06 · FAQ
Common questions

Stock loans in Indonesia, answered.

01What is an Indonesia stock loan?
An Indonesia stock loan is financing secured by a pledge of shares listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX / Bursa Efek Indonesia). You pledge listed shares as collateral to draw cash, while keeping beneficial ownership, the full economic upside, and — subject to structuring — your dividends and your vote. On repayment, the pledge is released and the shares return to you in full. Unlike an outright sale, the position is never given up.
02Who is a stock loan for?
Typical borrowers are founders and controlling shareholders of IDX-listed companies, major individual shareholders, family holding companies, listed corporates with treasury or strategic equity, and pre-IPO or lock-up holders who need interim liquidity before they are free to sell. The common thread is a meaningful, long-term Indonesian-listed position the holder would rather keep than unwind.
03What LTV, tenor, and interest apply?
Indicative LTV varies with the liquidity, volatility, free float, and concentration of the specific share, and is issued only after review of the actual holding. Tenors are typically 12 to 36 months. Interest may be fixed or floating, and either serviced periodically or rolled into the structure. Recourse can be non-recourse, limited, or full, depending on the structure and collateral.
04Which Indonesian shares are eligible as collateral?
Eligibility is assessed case by case across IDX Main Board and selected Development Board equities. Relevant factors include free float, average daily trading value, market capitalisation, sector, and shareholder concentration, as well as any foreign-ownership limit applying to the counter. Transactions are typically structured from IDR 15 billion upward.
05How is the pledge held and what about dividends?
Your shares are held in your own securities sub-account in scripless, book-entry form at KSEI in the C-BEST system. The lender's security comes from its rights and control over that account — not from transferring the shares — so you remain the account holder and beneficial owner throughout the term. Margin and top-up mechanics, the treatment of corporate actions, and dividend handling are all documented before funding, so the terms of the position are clear for the life of the loan.
06Does pledging my shares trigger disclosure to OJK?
It depends on your status and the size of the position. Under the Capital Market Law and OJK rules, holders of 5% or more — and subsequent changes in that holding — are reportable to OJK on the prescribed substantial-shareholding report (POJK No. 3/POJK.04/2021). The reporting impact of a given pledge structure is assessed per transaction, before any funding. See our note on Indonesian disclosure mechanics for a fuller treatment.
