Mutual funds are the most popular way to invest on the capital market, even though there are other options. Most of the time, investors use their analytical and math skills to decide what to invest in. But many studies on behavioral finance have shown that investors tend to act irrationally when making investment decisions, which is directly related to the way investors act when they take risks. This study investigates the variables affecting Indonesian mutual fund investors' risktaking behavior and its relation to investment decision. There are 178 mutual fund investors as respondents. The SPSS software version 22 is used in this study's multiple linear regression tests. Results revealed that while herding and familiarity bias have a considerable impact on investors' risktaking behavior, heuristics and prospects have no impact. This research enables investors who must construct and place themselves in a healthy investing environment with the knowledge they need to make a sound investment decision with valuable insight.
The objective of this research is to investigate the influence of macroeconomic factors such as market size, labor cost, interest rate, exchange rate, trade openness, and inflation to the foreign direct investment in Indonesia. This research uses a quantitative approach with time series data, quarterly from 2006 to 2019. The data is processed using SPSS Statistics 23 software, specifically linear regression analysis method and passed the classical assumption test. Results show that there is a partially significant relationship between market size, labor cost, interest rate, exchange rate, and trade openness to the foreign direct investment, meanwhile inflation does not significantly affect the foreign direct investment. These findings hopefully can help the government to make wiser policies to increase the foreign direct investment.
