At the age of 24, Timothy Ronald has captured the spotlight of Indonesia’s financial sector. Owning 11 million shares of Bank Central Asia (BBCA), he is recognized as one of the nation’s most influential young investors and has even been nicknamed “Indonesia’s Warren Buffett.”

Early Journey: Learning to Invest at 14

Timothy’s passion for the stock market began at the age of 14. At that time, he not only read but deeply studied classic investment literature by Benjamin Graham—Warren Buffett’s mentor—including The Intelligent Investor.

From this, he learned the importance of viewing stocks as ownership in real companies rather than mere numbers or charts.
Over 11 years of market experience, this philosophy became the foundation of his strategy: selecting companies with strong fundamentals and holding investments for the long term.
This simple yet disciplined approach has often led to comparisons with legendary global investors.

Confidence in BBCA and Optimism for Indonesia’s Economy

Timothy’s ownership of 11 million BBCA shares is far from a speculative move. To him, BBCA represents stability, public trust, and sustainable growth.
“Investing is not just about chasing quick profits,” he stated.
“For me, investing is about patience and long-term discipline. If profits follow, they are simply the reward for consistently applying sound principles,” he added.

Through this investment, Timothy also demonstrates his strong confidence in Indonesia’s economic prospects, which continue to gain recognition worldwide.

From Young Investor to Inspiration for a New Generation

Although frequently referred to as “Indonesia’s Warren Buffett,” Timothy emphasizes that he is forging his own path.
For him, success is not solely measured by the wealth he accumulates, but also by how much he can inspire younger generations to embrace investing and think long-term.

Beyond finance, Timothy is known for his social mission to build 1,000 schools across Indonesia. To him, true wealth is not merely financial assets but the lasting impact he can contribute to future generations.
This journey underscores that Timothy’s ultimate goal is not simply financial returns, but the creation of a legacy that can endure for centuries to come.
