Abstract
The Hajj Fund Management Agency (Badan Pengelola Keuangan Haji [BPKH]) is an institution responsible for managing Hajj funds in Indonesia. Through the investment mechanism, the BPKH’s benefit value can reduce the burden of prospective pilgrims in covering the cost of organizing the Hajj pilgrimage (Biaya Penyelanggaran Ibadah Haji [BPIH]). This study examined the combination of optimal portfolio construction in two situations, namely, without using regulatory restrictions and with government regulatory restrictions. The results of a linear programming approach with the Markowitz method revealed that investment allocation without regulatory restrictions forms an optimal portfolio to maximize Sharpe with a moderate scenario. Likewise, investment allocation based on regulations forms a portfolio with the same goal, namely maximizing the Sharpe ratio. This is in accordance with BPKH’s investment characteristics, which consider acceptable levels of return and risk, as well as BPKH’s risk profile, namely low to moderate. This research is expected to be useful for BPKH, especially in compiling investment portfolios to produce the optimal value of benefits and create sustainability in Hajj finance.
