by Ahmad Danu Prasetyo
International Journal of Economic Policy in Emerging Economies (IJEPEE), Vol. 6, No. 3, 2013

Abstract: There is a dispute on whether foreign investors are superior compared to the domestic investors. Many economists suggest that foreign investors may have had more advantages due to significant amount of investment, experience and expertise. On the other hand, domestic investors may have a short-lived information advantage. Following the work of Kamesaka et al. (2003), this paper is purposed to uncover the trading patterns of foreign investors and the other domestic investor groups, as well as to measure their performance in Indonesian government bonds market. The study suggests that foreign investors were not always profited. Nevertheless, cumulatively, they enjoyed the highest return in Indonesian Government bond market. In addition, there is indication that foreign investors have become market followers instead of initiators in the market.
