Makmur enables users to set their financial goals and realise them through long term investing.
Its goal-based investing feature, similar to that of US-based Betterment, allows users to invest towards multiple goals, such as emergency fund, retirement fund, and children’s education fund.
In addition, Makmur offers a robo advisory feature that aligns with the risk tolerance of the users as well as investment horizon and economic conditions.
Makmur CEO Sander Parawira commented: “Many people think that investing in mutual funds is difficult, in which they have to go through a complicated account opening process and prepare a large amount of capital.
