Corporate Governance has become a buzzword more people hear. It always raises the question: how do we know that a firm put into practice the principles of good Corporate Governance? It is not hard for companies to say that it has acted upon the principle which represents fairness, transparency, accountability and responsibility. Although it needs a systematic assessment to assure whether a company really deploys those principles.
In fairness, minority stock holders will be guaranteed; transparency will increase punctuality and accuracy of a company’s information on performance; accountability will create an effective control system in accordance to the distribution of power; and responsibility will increase reliability between stakeholders and the environment.

�� Dysfunctional supervising system of board of directors and audit committee in securing stockholders importance
�� Unprofessional corporate management
It is hoped that the concept of GCG can increase stockholders professionalism and welfare without jeopardizing other stakeholders. GCG is a system that organizes and controls a company to create added value to all stakeholders. The main framework in GCG are:
�� The importance of stockholders to gain accurate and punctual information
�� Company obligation to expose corporate performance, ownership and stakeholders information accurately and punctually.
With four main components of GCG, fairness, transparency, accountability and responsibility.
Indonesia started to implement CGC principles since the signing of the Letter of Intent (LOI) with IMF, which contained scheduling of corporate management improvement in Indonesia.

Every market has tradable objects; in this case, the Capital Market has its own uniqueness. Objects traded in the Capital Market are called Securities. They are Stocks, Bonds, Derivative Products, Investment Funds, Asset Backed Securities and Government Debt Certificate (with a time length of more than 12 months).
a. Stocks
Definition and Type
• Common Stocks
Common stock is the most known among other securities traded in the capital market. Common stock is the securities most commonly used by issuers to use to acquire funds from the public. Hence it is clear that common stock is most attractive both by investors and issuers. What is the definition of stocks? A stock is basically a sign of ownership by a person or an organization. A stock is in the form of a paper, which states that the owner of the paper has ownership to the company issuing the stock. Hence it’s similar to depositing money in a bank. Each time person deposits money in a bank they receive a receipt that states the person has deposited an amount of money. When a person buys a stock, that person will receive a receipt that states the person has ownership to the company issuing the stock.
• Preferred Stocks
Preferred stock is a stock that has a combined characteristic of both bonds and common stocks because it is a stock that can generate fixed income (such as bond interest) in the form of fixed dividend. Preference stock is similar to common stock because: they both represent equity ownership, which is issued without a written deadline on paper and they both distributes dividends. There are three similarities between preference stock and bonds: the right to claim income and assets, fixed dividend as long as the life of the stock, the right to convert to common stock. This is the reason that preferred stock is traded based on the return offered to the investor. Hence preference stock can basically be viewed as a securities with a fixed income and compete with bonds in the market. However, bonds’ rights lie above preference stock.

Benefits
Basically, there are two benefits for investors who buy and sell stock:
• Dividend
Dividend is the distribution of income of a company that issues stocks. The dividend is distributed after decided by the Shareholders General Meeting. The investor must hold on to the stock for a certain amount of time before he is recognized as the shareholder to receive dividends. Dividend is one attractive element for a shareholder with a long-term orientation, such as an institutional investor or retirement funds, etc. Dividends that are distributed by the company can be in the form of cash dividend or stock dividend. Cash dividend is the distribution of dividends in the form of cash, specifically an amount of Rupiahs for each share. Stock dividend is the distribution of shares to shareholders and therefore increasing the amount of shares owned by that person/organization.
• Capital Gain.
A capital gain is the difference between the selling and the purchasing price. Capital gain exists when there is stock trading activity in the secondary market. For example, an investor buys ABC stock with a piece of Rp 3000 per share and sells it at a price of Rp 3500. That investor earned a capital gain of Rp 500 for each share sold. Short term oriented investors usually hopes to achieve return through capital gain. An example would be a person who buys stock in the morning and sells it in the afternoon if the stock price increases. Stocks are characterized as high risk - high return. This basically means that stocks are securities that offer the opportunity for high returns but at the same time also has a high risk potential. Stock allows investors to receive high return or capital gain at a short amount of time.
�� Risks
What are the risks investors may face?
• No Dividend Received
An issuer will distribute dividends if the company’s operation results in profit. The company may not distribute any dividend if the issuer’s company operation results in a loss. Hence the potential of an investor to receive dividend depends on the company’s performance.
• Capital Loss
In a stock trading activity, not all investors will achieve capital gain or return on the stock sold. There are time when investors has to sell their stock with a price lower than they were bought, therefore the investor experiences capital loss. For example, an investor holding an Indosat (ISAT) stock with a buying price of Rp 9000 and afterwards later sells at a price of Rp 8000 per stock. That investor therefore experiences a capital loss of Rp 1000 for each stock sold. In stock trading, an investor sometimes sells at a low price to diverge an increasing potential loss because of a continuous decrease in stock. This action is called cut loss. In addition to the above risk, a shareholder still faces other risks:
• The company issuing the stock is declared bankrupt or liquidated
A company that goes bankrupt will definitely have a direct affect to its stocks. In reference to the listing regulations of the stock exchange, a bankrupt or liquidated company will automatically have their stocks delisted from the stock exchange. In a condition where the company is liquidated, the shareholder has a position lower than a creditor or a bondholder. This means that after all the company’s assets are sold, cash is paid to the creditors and the bond holder, and when there is still a remainder, then cash will be distributed to shareholders.
• Shares are delisted from Exchange
Another risk faced by the investor is that the stock is delisted from the Stock Exchange, otherwise known as the term "delisted". A stock is usually delisted from the Exchange because of poor performance. An example would be: the stock is not traded in a certain period of time, the company experiences loss for certain years, the company does not distribute dividend for a couple of years, and other conditions that do not conform to the listing regulation of the exchange. A stock delisted from the exchange is no more traded in the stock exchange; however the stock can still be traded out of the exchange with a consequence of an unclear price range, even a price much lower than before.
b. Bonds
�� Definition and Type
A bond is a securities or a certificate containing a contract between the lender (in this case the investor) and the borrower (in this case the issuer). Hence a bond is a piece of paper stating that the owner of the paper has bought an obligation from the company issuing the bond. The issuer pays interest on its bonds periodically and finally passes the threshold of the obligation’s value on the maturity value and pays back the total bond’s value plus interest to the bondholder. This instrument generally pays a fixedamount of interest periodically. If the interest in the economy falls, the bond’s value increases and if the interest in the economy rises, the bond’s value decreases.
• Straight bond
• Serial bond
Acquittance stages
− No. 1-100 (A series) ; paid at the end of the 5th year
− No. 101 - 200 (B series) ; paid at the end of the 6th year, and so on.
• Callable bond
− Issuers have the right to pay in full before the bond is matured, usually in a certain premium value.
• Convertible bond
In a glance, a convertible bond is no different than a usual bond. For example: they both offer a fixed coupon value, have a maturity date and a face value. The difference lies on convertible bond’s uniqueness that is it can be exchanged to a common stock. The requirement of conversion is always stated on a convertible bond. For example, each convertible bond can be exchanged to 3 shares of common stock after January 1st 2005. This requirement of course differs for different convertible bonds. Bondholders have the right to convert to stock in a future time.
• Sinking fund bond
Issuers must store some of their earnings to disburse their bonds. Earnings are stored at a Trustee.
• Secured bond
Firms must store some of their pledge, for example, land, building as warranty. Bond holders have the right to take over and sell the warranty if the firm can not pay the credit + interest.
Secured bond include:
Ø Mortgage bond: guaranteed by real estate
Ø Collateral trust bond: guaranteed by securities (stocks, for example) and stored at a third party (trust company).
Ø Equipment trust certificate: in USA, this is usually released by the Railway Company (paid annually).
• Unsecured bond (Debenture)
Issuers that have good "credit rating" will no need guarantee. In Indonesia, if the guarantee is insufficient, there will be provided a Guarantor, usually a bank besides a trustee.
�� Benefits and Risks
What is the benefit of buying bonds?
Bonds are recognized as fixed income securities, in the form of interest o coupon that is paid in a given fixed amount (for example 16% per year) every given period (for example: every 3 months, 6 months or once a year). Bonds also offer capital gain that is the difference between the selling price and buying price.
What is the risk of buying bonds?
The problem of determining a bond’s return is the unpredictability of interest rates. The bond’s price depends extremely on interest rate. If bank interest rate increases, the bondholder will experience loss since bond price will decrease. In addition to unpredictable interest rates, bondholders face callability risk, which is the completion of payment before maturity date. That is why it is fortunate for a bondholder that receives a fix amount at a time when interest rates are falling. Unfortunately this condition would not last for long. Many bonds issued by the issuer are called upon before maturity date.

Buying a right means buying the right to b
his/her right; he/she had bought the stock. At this point the benefit of buying a right is the same as benefits of buying a stock, which are dividend and capital gain. Consequently, there are risks facing investors, whether they had exercised their right or not, which is the decrease of stock price and dividend per share. Warrant is Securities
holder to order stocks from the issuer at a certain price in a 6 months time or more from the date of issuance of the Warrant. Option is the right of an investor to buy or sell
Securities at a certain price and certain time.

• Stock Mutual Fund is a Mutual Fund that invests in at least 80% of assets in equity-based Securities.

�� Benefits and Risks
Investors can gain benefit in investing in Mutual Fund, such as:
• First, an investor can diversify their investment in securities even if they do not have much fund, hence risk can be reduced. As an example, an investor with limited funds can invest in a portfolio of bonds which is almost impossible to be done without a large amount of funds. Through mutual funds, the fund collected will be significantly large enough that a diversification can be done, both through the money market and capital market, such as in instruments such as stocks, bonds or deposits.
• Second, mutual funds simplify investors to invest in the capital market. Identifying well performing shares that is worth buying is not an easy job. It requires specific knowledge and skills, and not all investors have these capabilities.
• Third is time efficiency. Through mutual fund investment where the funds are managed by professional investment managers, the investors does not need to monitor their investment portfolio’s performance because this is all managed by the investment manager.
As other forms of investment, besides providing profitable opportunity it also contains risks, such as:
• Risk of Decreasing Value of Funds. This is a risk that is determined by the fall of securities prices (shares, bonds, and other securities) that are elements of the mutual funds’ portfolio. Liquidity Risk. This is the risk faced by

�� Stock Exchange Profile
- Jakarta Stock Exchange
The Jakarta Stock Exchange (JSX) came into being a privately owned company and operated stock exchange on July 13, 1992, the roots of its establishment can be traced back to the early part of this century. In 1912, under the auspices of the Dutch colonial government, Indonesia’s first stock exchange was set up in Batavia, the colony’s administrative center which then in the future become the city of "Jakarta".
Closed during the First World War and then reopened in 1925, the Batavia exchange operated alongside parallel bourses in Semarang and Surabaya until 1942, when the archipelago’s occupation by Japanese Imperial Forces curtailed further trading. In 1952, seven years after Indonesia declared its independence, the exchange was reopened in Jakarta, trading stocks and bonds issued before the war by Dutch enterprises. A nationalization program launched in 1956, however, brought trading to a halt yet again.
Not until 1977 was the exchange reopened, this time under the management of the newly created Capital Market Executive Agency (Badan Pelaksana Pasar Modal or BAPEPAM), an institution reporting to the Ministry of Finance. While trading activity and market capitalization grew over the years alongside the development of Indonesia’s financial markets and private sector – highlighted by a major bull run in 1990 – it was not until the exchange’s privatization in 1991 under the ownership of Jakarta Stock Exchange, Inc. that the JSX emerged as one of Asia most dynamic securities markets. As the result of the privatization of JSX, BAPEPAM’s function has changed to become the Capital Market Supervisory Agency (Badan Pengawas Pasar Modal).
The year of 1995 marked a new beginning for JSX. As of May 22, JSX has launched the Jakarta Automated Trading System (JATS) to replace the manual trading system. The newly installed automated trading system will facilitate greater frequency of shares trading and ensure fairer and more transparent market practice as opposed to the manual trading system.
In July 2000, JSX launched Scripless Trading aiming to enhance market liquidity and to eliminate the occurrence of lost and forgery of stocks, and to speed up process of transaction settlement.
In 2002, JSX also initiates the implementation of Remote Trading in order to increase market access, market efficiency, speed and frequency of trading.

Indonesia is one of the vast developing, strategically located and most flourished country in Asia, a promising investment.
a. History of Indonesian Capital Market
i. Establishment of the Indonesian Capital Market by Dutch Indies Government
In the history of Indonesian Capital Market, equity transactions had started in the 19th century. According to Effectengids, a book published by Verreniging voor den Effectenhandel in 1939, transactions started since 1880. In December 14, 1912, Amserdamse Effectenbueurs established stock exchange in Batavia. It was reported that the Batavia Stock Exchange was the 4th oldest in Asia following Bombay, Hongkong and Tokyo.
At the beginning of the 19th century, Dutch Indies government began to grow massive-sized plantation in Indonesia. Funding came from depositors who consist of Dutch inhibitors and other European with have much higher income than the native Indonesian. From that time on, the colonial government established the capital market. After prudent preparation, the first Indonesian capital market was set up in Batavia (Jakarta) on December 14, 1912 with the name Vereniging voor de Effectenhandel (Stock Exchange) and started its operation. At the initial transaction, there were 13 members: Fa. Dunlop & Kolf; Fa. Gijselman & Steup; Fa. Monod & Co.; Fa. Adree Witansi & Co.; Fa. A.W. Deeleman; Fa. H. Jul Joostensz; Fa. Jeannette Walen; Fa. Wiekert & V.D. Linden; Fa. Walbrink & Co; Wieckert & V.D. Linden; Fa. Vermeys & Co; Fa. Cruyff dan Fa. Gebroeders. Securities traded in exchanged were stocks and bonds of Dutch companies/plantations operating in Indonesia, bonds published by government (provincial and municipality), stock certificate of American companies published by administration offices in The Netherlands and other Dutch Securities companies.
The development of the capital market was so remarkable that it attracted investors from other cities. To accommodate the demand, two stock exchange were established on January 11, 1925 in Surabaya and August 1, 1925 in Semarang. Members of the stock exhange in Surabaya at that time were: Fa. Dunlop & Koff, Fa. Gijselman & Steup, Fa. V. Van Velsen, Fa. Beaukkerk & Cop, dan N. Koster. And in Semarang were: Fa. Dunlop & Koff, Fa. Gijselman & Steup, Fa. Monad & Co, Fa. Companien & Co, serta Fa. P.H. Soeters & Co. The development of the stock exchanges were impressive as seen on the Securities value reported up to NIF 1.4 billion (if indexed by the price of subsidized rice in 1982, the value was + Rp 7 billion) derived from 250 different Securities.
ii. The closing of Stock Exchange in effect of World War II.
In the beginning of 1939, European political climate was sweltering with the rise of Adolf Hitler’s domination. Overseeing this, the Dutch Indies government took several considerations to focus Securities transactions in Batavia and closed the Surabaya and Semarang stock exchange. However, on May 17, 1940, all activities was seized and Securities must be held in reserve at the banks appointed by the government. The closing of the 3 stock exchange exasperated the liquidity of the Securities, bothered the Securities holders and affected many companies and entities to withdraw and called off their investment in Indonesia. Consequently, the break of.
World War II marked the end of capital market activity during the Dutch colonialization era.
iii. Re-activating-1 era, establishment of government bond and Emergency Law No. 15, 1952 regarding Stock Exchange.
A year after the government of The Netherlands acknowledged the independence of the Republic of Indonesia, precisely in 1950, the government issued bonds of the Republic of Indonesia. This marked the reactivation of Indonesian Capital Market.
Preceded by the establishment of Emergency Law No. 13, September 1, 1951, which soon affirmed as Law No. 15, 1952 regarding Stock Exchange, government of the Republic of Indonesia reopened the Stock Exchange in Jakarta on June 31, 1952 after being suspended for 12 years. Its operation was conducted by Money and Securities Trading Union (PPUE) which consists of 3 state banks and a few traders, and Bank of Indonesia as advisor.
Since then the Stock Exchange grew significantly, although the traded Securities are those offered before the World War II. The trading activity increased since Bank Industri Negara (state-owned industrial bank) issued bonds in 1954, 1955 and 1956. Buyers were mostly Dutch, as individuals and legal entities. All members were allowed to conduct arbitration transaction overseas especially with Amsterdam.
iv. Postponement-2 era, in conclusion of inflation in Indonesia.
The situation remained until 1958 because the trading activities began to break down and drew back. This was caused by political confrontations ran by the Indonesian government towards The Netherlands that created an unbalanced economy between the two countries which made many Dutch nationals left Indonesia.
The development worsened in effect of the dispute over Irian Jaya and the taking-over of all Dutch companies in Indonesia in accordance to Nationalization Law No. 86, 1958.
This disorder was followed by an instruction from the Board of Dutch Company Nationalization (BANAS) in 1960 to prohibit the transaction of all securities owned by Dutch companies in Indonesia including all Dutch-currency-based securities.
The inflation rate at that time was significantly high and created turmoil in the currency and capital market which made the society to loose trust. They also built negative sentiment towards Rupiah which hit its lowest value in 1966.
The decline caused low stock and bond nominal value which made them less interesting to investors. It was certainly the rise and fall of the Indonesian Capital Market during the Old Order regime.

v. Reactivating-2 era, formation of Capital Market Committee through Presidential Decree No. 52,1976.
Further steps were taken by the New Order government to restore society’s trust towards Rupiah. The government prepared the Capital Market and continuously promoted funding through savings and deposits.
In accordance with the decree from the Directors of Bank of Indonesia No. 4/16, July 26, 1968, preparation committee for Financial Market and Capital Market was formed. The result affirmed that the starting point of the Capital Market in Indonesia was designed by the government since 1952 but considering the turmoil and the undermined society, the Stock Exchange of Indonesia since 1958 until 1976 drew itself back.
After concluding their task, the committee was dismissed through a decree of the Minister of Finance No. Kep-25/MK/IV/1/72, January 13, 1972. In 1976, Indonesian Capital Market Supervisory Agency (Bapepam) and PT Danareksa was formed. Bapepam, led by the Governor of the Central Bank, was responsible to assist the Minister of Finance.
With the establishment of Bapepam, integrity to form Financial Market and Capital Market was seen once more. Besides serving as assistant to the Minister of Finance, Bapepam also acted as supervisor and manager to stock exchange.
In August 10, 1977, according to Presidential Decree No. 52, 1976, the Capital Market was reactivated and several companies go public. In the New Order the growth of the Capital Market can be divided into two periods, 1977 to 1987 and 1987 till now.
The growth of the Capital Market between 1977 and 1987 was sluggish although the government provided facilities to corporations to utilize funding from the market such as tax facilities to attract communities to play in the Capital Market.
The sluggishness at that period was caused by several problems which some of them concerned the rigid procedure of stock and bond issuance, and stock fluctuation price limits.
To overcome the problems, the government released deregulations regarding the growth of the capital market including December Policy Package 1987, October Policy Package 1988 and December Policy Package 1988.

The Package was to simplify stock and bond issuance requirements, cutting costs, which was once collected by Bapepam such as registration cost for securities issuance. It also provided opportunities to foreign investors to purchase securities to a maximum of 49% from the total offering.
The deregulation package removed stock fluctuation price limit from the capital market and introduced parallel exchange as an alternative choice for issuers that have not met the requirements to enter the market.
October Package 88
This package is aimed at banking sector but had certain impact towards the development of capital market. It consists of 3L (Legal, Lending, Limit), and tax charged over deposit interest.
The tax charged had a positive impact over the development of the capital market. It meant that the government provided equal treatment for banking and capital market sectors.
December Package 88
This deregulation package basically provided further drivers for capital market by giving opportunities to private corporations to conduct stock exchange.
The package was able to increase capital market activities. Until 1990 there were 153 companies listed with an investment of Rp 16.29 billion.

Presidential Decree No. 53, 1990 & Decree of Minister of Finance
Besides running the operation, Bapepam also provides guidance and supervision. But these doubled tasks was eliminated with the issuance of Presidential Decree No. 53, 1990 and Decree of Minister of Finance No. 1548, 1990 which marked a new era of capital market growth. Bapepam now can focus on its duty to provide supervision on capital market.
This functionality addresses the goal of creating an orderly, fair and efficient capital market and to securing the welfare of investors and community. The task is similar to one done by Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) in the United States. It secures the fairness of capital market for investors and community from misleading activities.

The Combined Stock Price Index increased to the value of 600 at the beginning of 1994 and once came to 712,61 in February 1997.
After privatizing the Stock Exchange in 1992, Indonesian Capital Market made an increase in market capital and number of transaction. On May 22, 1995, JATS (Jakarta Automated Trading System) was implemented. It was a new system to replace manual trading and facilitated stock trading with larger frequency up to 200,000 transactions per day compared to the old system that traded only 3,800.
