Stock returns are one of the indicators in investor investment decision making. Factors that influence stock returns are internal (fundamental) factors, namely ROA, DPR and EPS. The purpose of this study was to determine: the effect of Return On Asset (ROA) on Stock Returns, the effect of Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR) on Stock Returns, and the effect of Earnings Per Share (EPS) on Stock Returns in Industrial Sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2020-2022. The data analysis method used is multiple linear regression analysis. Findings: Return On Asset (ROA) has a positive and significant effect on Stock Returns, Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR) does not affect Stock Returns, and Earnings Per Share (EPS) does not affect Stock Returns. The implication of this study for investors is that they can use ROA as the main indicator in analyzing potential opportunities to gain profit from capital gains from stock returns before making investment decisions. The implication for management is to focus on strategies to optimize the use of assets to generate greater profits. Meanwhile, the implications for regulators and policy makers are to encourage transparency in financial reports and the preparation of capital market literacy programs.

The capital market is an arena where investors can meet issuers who want to offer or obtain securities. For someone who wants to become an investor, having a good understanding of the capital market is very important, so they need to study how this market works carefully. Education regarding the capital market is really needed by potential investors, and this can be done by stock exchange managers to provide great benefits. The more people are interested, the higher the reputation of the capital market. Investments are assets used by companies to increase wealth through the distribution of results, such as interest, royalties, dividends and rent, as well as to increase value or obtain other benefits from trade relationships. Shares and fixed assets are also included in investments. Prospective investors must have a deep understanding of the capital market and special skills in analyzing and understanding market conditions in order to make the right decisions and avoid losses.

Shariah-compliant investments follow Islamic principles, such as the prohibition of riba, gharar, and maysir, which emphasize fairness and transparency. In the digital era, apps like Ajaib utilize technology to improve efficiency and ensure sharia compliance. This research analyzes the efficiency and sharia compliance of the Ajaib app using a literature study, as well as secondary data from journals, sharia regulations, and official Ajaib documents. The analysis was conducted using a content analysis approach to evaluate the suitability of application features with sharia principles. The results showed that Ajaib has excellent features, such as education, magic bag, stop loss, take profit, and advance charting, which support efficient investment. The stock screener and speed order book features assist users in making quick decisions, while DSN-MUI-certified Islamic mutual funds ensure halal investments. The fast and transparent transaction process makes Ajaib easy to use and compliant with sharia principles. However, the analysis also found some shortcomings, such as a limited selection of Islamic mutual funds, less varied payment methods, and the absence of personalized consultation services. Compared to other apps, Ajaib needs to improve these shortcomings to be more competitive. This study concludes that operational efficiency and sharia compliance are critical to the sustainability of sharia investment in Indonesia. Further research is recommended to examine the user experience directly and compare Ajaib's performance with other platforms.

Financial literacy is an individual's ability to understand, analyze, and use financial information to make effective decisions. In the context of Islamic finance in Indonesia, low financial literacy is a major challenge in increasing financial inclusion. Islamic mutual funds, as one of the sharia-based investment instruments, offer an opportunity to bridge the gap between financial literacy and inclusion. Islamic mutual funds have the advantages of transparent sharia principles, wider accessibility, and diversified risks. This study aims to explore the role of Islamic mutual funds in increasing public financial literacy while encouraging Islamic financial inclusion. The methodology used includes secondary data analysis, surveys, and interviews with stakeholders, such as financial industry players, regulators, and the community. The results of the study show that education about Islamic mutual funds can consistently increase public understanding of Islamic financial products. In addition, Islamic mutual funds also have the potential to expand public access to Islamic financial services, especially among the younger generation and underserved groups. Integration of financial literacy programs based on sharia mutual funds with the support of regulations and digital technology can be a strategic step to strengthen the sharia financial ecosystem in Indonesia, thereby supporting more inclusive and sustainable financial inclusion.

This study focuses on analyzing the impact of Islamic financial literacy on the interest in investing in the Shariamarket. Islamic financial literacy involves a deep understanding of financial principles that comply with Islamic law, including zakat, riba, and the principle of justice in financial transactions. The growing awareness of halal and Sharia-compliant investments suggests that Islamic financial literacy can be a decisive factor in investment decisions. This study uses a quantitative method by distributing questionnaires to 200 respondents, comprising prospective investors and active investors in the Sharia capital market. The results of the study indicate that higher levels of Islamic financial literacy positively correlate with greater interest in investing in Sharia capital market instruments such as sukuk and Sharia mutual funds. These findings highlight the need for more intensive Islamic financial education programs to improve public literacy and support the development of the Sharia capital market in Indonesia. Supporting policies and innovations in Sharia investment products are also identified as crucial factors in encouraging investment interest. Thus, this study concludes that enhancing Islamic financial literacy can play a significant role in advancing the Sharia capital market and supporting a more inclusive Islamic economy. This research demonstrates that Islamic financial literacy significantly influences investment interest in the Sharia capital market. Investors with a solid understanding of Islamic financial principles such as riba (usury), zakat (almsgiving), and profit-sharing are more likely to opt for Sharia-compliant investment products like sukuk (Islamic bonds) and Sharia mutual funds. The study underscores the importance of comprehensive financial education programs and the availability of accessible information to enhance Islamic financial literacy among the public. These efforts are expected to increase participation in the Sharia capital market and support more inclusive and sustainable economic growth in Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze the effect of BI Rate, Rupiah exchange rate, and accounting profit on the Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG) in Indonesia. As one of the main indicators in the capital market, IHSG reflects the overall stock market performance and is influenced by various macro and micro economic factors. BI Rate as the reference interest rate, Rupiah exchange rate as an indicator of currency exchange rate, and accounting profit as a measure of company performance have high relevance to the movement of IHSG. This study uses a literature review method by referring to various previous studies that discuss the relationship between these variables. The results of the analysis show that the three variables have a significant influence on IHSG, both directly and indirectly. BI Rate and Rupiah exchange rate affect IHSG through financial market mechanisms, while accounting profit is more related to investment decisions and individual company performance. These findings provide insight for investors, policy makers, and academics to understand the dynamics of the relationship between economic indicators and stock market performance in Indonesia.

The development of the financial sector in Indonesia encourages companies to  enhance their value through optimal dividend policies. This study aims to analyze the influence of profitability, leverage, investment opportunity set, and free cash flow on dividend policy among banking sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Utilizing a literature review method, this research examines 40 articles and journals published between 2019 and 2024 to explore the relationships between these variables. Based on agency theory and signaling theory, dividend policy is influenced by internal factors such as profitability and free cash flow, as well as strategic decisions related to leverage and investment opportunities. The findings indicate that each variable affects dividend policy differently, depending on the company’s circumstances and management strategies. These insights are expected to serve as a reference for future studies and as guidance for corporate management in effectively managing dividend policies to attract investors and enhance company value.

When making investment decisions, it is crucial for investors to consider various risks that may arise, both in the short and long term. One method to measure risk is through volatility. Volatility represents a statistical measurement of the degree of price variation over a specific period, expressed as volatility (σ) (Aklimawati & Wahyudi, 2013). This study aims to discuss the pricing of European option contracts using Conditional Monte Carlo simulation and the Black-Scholes method. The data used in this study is secondary data obtained from Yahoo Finance. The data consists of quantitative information, namely the monthly closing prices of Toyota Motor Corporation (TM) stock, spanning 5 years from July 1, 2019, to July 1, 2024, yielding 60 data points. In this research, the pricing of European call option contracts was calculated using Conditional Monte Carlo simulation and the Black-Scholes method. The study concludes that European option contract pricing can be determined using two methods: Conditional Monte Carlo simulation and the Black-Scholes method. Conditional Monte Carlo simulation can be employed to calculate European option prices in a structured manner, utilizing stochastic volatility estimated through the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method. The two methods yield differing option prices; Conditional Monte Carlo simulation produces lower option price estimates with relatively lower error values compared to the Black-Scholes method at every strike price. The lower estimates from Conditional Monte Carlo simulation are due to its consideration of stochastic changes in volatility, whereas the Black-Scholes method results in higher prices due to its assumption of constant volatility. The comparison demonstrates that Conditional Monte Carlo simulation provides cheaper price estimates under market conditions with non-constant volatility, despite requiring higher computational time compared to the Black-Scholes method.   ,

The aim of this research is to determine the role of financial literacy in improving the economic well-being of individuals and the community as a whole, with a specific emphasis on the residents of Jambur Padang Matinggi. The ability to understand and use various financial skills, such as budgeting, investing, and personal financial management, is referred to as financial literacy. This study emphasizes the relationship between better economic stability and higher financial literacy among community members. According to information gathered through surveys and interviews, individuals with greater financial knowledge are more capable of making sound financial decisions, which in turn leads to increased savings and investments in local businesses. Furthermore, the results indicate that financial literacy programs can have a significant impact on overall community growth by encouraging saving habits and borrowing money wisely. The study underscores the importance of integrating financial literacy programs into community development strategies, especially in rural areas where financial education resources are limited. Therefore, enhancing financial knowledge emerges as a crucial component in improving the prosperity of both individuals and communities.

the impact of multinational corporations (MNCs) in influencing the sources of international law. MNCs play a significant role in the global economy, especially in developing countries, which require foreign investment. The existence of MNCs contributes to the formation and amendment of international treaties, even though these companies are not directly recognized as subjects of international law. The sources of international law evolve over time, including international treaties, international custom, court decisions, as well as scholarly teachings. While MNCs do not have the capacity to litigate in the International Court of Justice, they can play a role in international arbitration and influence the legal policies of the countries in which they operate. The influence of MNCs on the economies of developing countries often leads to the inability of those countries to enforce national laws, due to fears of loss of investment. Therefore, while there is debate over the status of MNCs in international law, they still have a major impact in shaping and influencing the rules of international law through economic cooperation and international treaties.

This study examines and compares the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) with the Sharia Compliance Asset Pricing Model (SCAPM) in constructing an optimal stock portfolio based on the sharia stock index on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, specifically the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII), during the 2019–2023 period. The primary aim is to evaluate whether the SCAPM, which incorporates mudharabah profit-sharing returns in place of the risk-free rate, offers more relevant insights for Muslim investors compared to the CAPM. Utilizing a quantitative approach and a two-step regression method, the research develops an optimal portfolio by calculating stock betas and analyzing the relationship between systematic risk and expected returns. The findings reveal that neither the CAPM nor the SCAPM models are valid for predicting risk and expected returns for the JII's optimal stock portfolio. This study is intended to guide sharia-compliant investors in making informed decisions and assist investment managers in designing strategies aligned with Islamic financial principles.

This research aims to analyze the influence of cash holdings, profitability and financial leverage on company value in manufacturing companies in the primary industry and chemical sectors listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) from 2020 to 2022. The aim of this research is to use multiple regression analysis to identify the relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable, namely company value. The findings show that cash holdings do not have a significant impact on firm value, indicating that investors do not consider the level of a company's cash holdings when making investment decisions. In addition, financial leverage varies depending on the company's situation, but profitability as measured by return on assets (ROA) also does not have a positive impact on company value.These findings provide important insights for management as they develop financial strategies to increase shareholder value.

Household financial management is a crucial factor in maintaining family financial stability, particularly in the face of economic uncertainty. This study examines the strategies employed by households in managing their finances, including budgeting, expenditure control, savings, and investment, as well as the challenges encountered during economic crises. Through a combination of literature review and case studies, the research reveals that households with clear financial planning and adequate emergency funds are more resilient in times of crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Factors such as income levels, education, and financial literacy significantly influence household financial decisions, while consumption patterns driven by social media often present a challenge. Effective strategies identified include strict budgeting, reducing non-essential expenditures, and prioritizing long-term savings and investments. This study underscores the importance of financial literacy and awareness in household financial management as key to achieving financial stability amidst global and domestic economic uncertainties.

Profit growth is the rate of increase in profit obtained by a company. Profit growth is an important factor in assessing a company's financial performance. This study aims to examine the effect of financial ratios on profit growth in infrastructure sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2019-2022. The research sample used was 20 companies with 80 observation samples. The financial ratios used are liquidity, solvency, profitability, and activity ratios. These financial ratios are proxied by the Current Ratio (CR), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), Return on Assets (ROA), and Total Asset Turnover (TAT), respectively. Testing was carried out using multiple linear regression analysis. Based on the results of the hypothesis test, it is known that the profitability ratio proxied by Return on Assets (ROA) has a positive effect on profit growth and the activity ratio proxied by Total Asset Turnover (TAT) has a negative effect on profit growth. Other results, namely the liquidity ratio proxied by the Current Ratio (CR) and the solvency ratio proxied by the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) have no effect on profit growth. These results mean that the profitability ratio and activity ratio can be determinants of profit growth predictors and can be a reference for investors to make investment decisions.

The purpose of this study is to develop a predictive model to predict the trend of the emas price over time and to investigate how this affects important economic variables. As a popular commodity that is regarded as a safe refuge for investments, changes in the price of emas can have a significant impact on a number of economic indicators, such as inflation, consumer spending, and investment decisions. Compiling historical data on emas prices, macroeconomic variables, and other related topics is a component of research methodology.

Investment is a type of economic activity. Behind all wealth there is zakat. If wealth is not used in a useful way, it can be taken away by zakat over time. One of the good things about zakat is that it encourages all Muslims to use their money in ways that are productive. Only the profits from investments are subject to zakat, not the assets themselves. Everyone should know about the ethics of investing to make sure they don’t invest in things that are not allowed in Islam. Not knowing about Islamic investment can lead people to make bad decisions and act in ways that go against Islamic law. The desire for big profits is one reason people might make wrong choices. Investment is a kind of business, and it has risks because it involves uncertain things, which can lead to uncertain or unstable results. Islam encourages people to take action and be prepared through investing. Putting money in an Islamic bank is also considered an investment because the outcome is not certain.

This study examines the impact of interest rates and inflation during the 2019-2023 period on asset allocation strategies in Indonesia's investment portfolio. Investment decisions are heavily influenced by two macroeconomic components, namely interest rates and inflation. These factors mainly affect how assets comprise a portfolio. In this study, data on Bank Indonesia's benchmark interest rate and the national inflation rate over the past five years are analyzed to see the pattern of change and its impact on asset allocation strategies, which include stocks, bonds, property, and other assets. The results show that rising interest rates significantly encourage people to shift from high-risk assets (e.g. stocks) to safer assets (e.g. bonds and deposits). Meanwhile, high inflation triggers an increased allocation to physical assets such as property and gold as a hedge against declining purchasing power. This research provides insights for investors to adjust their investment portfolios based on macroeconomic dynamics, especially in the face of interest rate volatility and inflation. The findings also highlight the importance of flexibility and diversification in asset allocation strategies to achieve optimal investment objectives amid economic uncertainty. The conclusion of this study confirms the importance of understanding interest rate and inflation dynamics in formulating effective investment strategies in Indonesia. The implications of these findings can be used by investors and policymakers in designing better monetary policies and investment strategies, in order to maintain national economic stability.
