Can I Switch to a Mutual Fund From a Different Investment Manager on Pluang?
No, you can't switch mutual funds between different investment managers on Pluang: you can only switch to mutual fund products managed by the same investment manager as the fund you currently hold. For example, a Batavia fund can only be switched into another Batavia fund, and an Eastspring fund only into another Eastspring fund. The Pluang app only displays the products that are available for you to switch to based on your balance, so funds from other investment managers do not appear as switching options. Even within the same investment manager, some funds cannot be switched, and USD mutual funds cannot be switched yet. If you want to move your money to a fund from a different investment manager, you need to sell your current units and then buy the new fund as two separate transactions: the sale proceeds go to your registered bank account first, which can take up to 7 business days.

Q: How do I move my money to a fund from a different investment manager?
Because you can't switch between different investment managers, sell your current units, then buy the new fund. The step-by-step guides are "Cara Menjual Reksa Dana" for selling and "Langkah-langkah pembelian Reksa Dana di Pluang" for buying. The sale proceeds are sent to your registered bank account within a maximum of 7 business days, in line with OJK regulation 23/POJK.04/2016 article 24, and the new purchase is a separate transaction with its own payment.
Q: Can every fund from the same investment manager be switched?
No. Some funds cannot be switched even though they are under the same investment manager, and USD mutual funds cannot be switched yet. As of September 2026, for example, Batavia Dana Kas Maxima and Batavia Global ESG Sharia Equity USD are not available for switching, while other Batavia funds such as Batavia Dana Saham and Batavia Dana Obligasi Ultima are.
Q: Why doesn't a fund appear in my switching options?
The Pluang app only displays the products you can switch to based on your balance. A fund will not appear if it is from a different investment manager, if it is not available for switching, or if the value of your Available Units does not reach 105% of that fund's minimum purchase or minimum ownership.
Q: Is switching within the same investment manager free?
Yes. There is no switching fee on Pluang. The costs borne by each mutual fund product are separate from switching: they are already included in the fund's NAV and listed in its prospectus and fund fact sheet. A switch uses the 13:00 WIB cut-off time, the same as buying and selling, and takes a maximum of 2 business days.
