Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of brand image on customer retention with customer satisfaction as a mediating variable, as well as the role of physical evidence, among visitors of Mahoni Bangun Sentosa Tourism. This study employs a quantitative research approach using a survey method. Data were collected from 150 respondents who had visited Mahoni Bangun Sentosa Tourism at least once, selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 4 software to test the proposed hypotheses. The results of this study indicate that: (1) brand image has a positive and significant effect on customer retention; (2) brand image has a positive and significant effect on customer satisfaction; (3) customer satisfaction has a positive and significant effect on customer retention; (4) customer satisfaction is able to mediate the effect of brand image on customer retention; (5) physical evidence has a positive and significant direct effect on customer retention; (6) physical evidence does not moderate the relationship between brand image and customer retention. These findings imply that strengthening brand image and enhancing customer satisfaction are essential strategies to improve customer retention in tourism destinations, while physical evidence serves as a direct supporting factor rather than a moderating variable.

Abstract

This study investigates the correlation dynamics among gold prices, crude oil prices, Bitcoin, and stock market indices of ten selected countries (USA, China, India, Germany, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Brazil, Vietnam, and Russia) over a 27-month period from January 1, 2024, to March 31, 2026—a condensed era marked by trade wars, oil shocks, geopolitical conflicts, and digital asset evolution. Using daily closing prices and Pearson correlation analysis, we examine six hypotheses grounded in modern portfolio theory, safe-haven theory, and macroeconomic spillover frameworks. Descriptive statistics reveal that Bitcoin exhibits the highest volatility, while gold shows moderate positive skewness, and stock indices display mixed distributional characteristics. Correlation results indicate that Bitcoin is most strongly correlated with the US stock market, followed by Brazil and Germany, supporting the integration hypothesis. Gold shows weak positive correlations with most stock indices, consistent with its role as a weak hedge. Oil exhibits near-zero or negative correlations with equities, particularly in oil-importing nations. The gold-oil correlation is positive but weak, while Bitcoin-gold and Bitcoin-oil are negligible, suggesting decoupling during crises. These findings provide crucial implications for portfolio diversification, risk management, and policy formulation in an era of compounded global shocks. Keywords:Gold, oil, Bitcoin, stock markets, safe haven.

The Evolution of Asset Pricing Theory: A Systematic Literature Review Siti Epa Hardiyanti

Abstract

Asset Pricing Theory has undergone substantial transformation since the introduction of Modern Portfolio Theory by Markowitz on 1952. Its evolution subsequently progressed through the development of Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT), Intertemporal Capital Asset Pricing Model (I-CAPM), Consumption Based Capital Asset Pricing Model (C-CAPM), Sustainable Capital Asset Pricing Model (S-CAPM), and contemporary of Multifactor frameworks such as Fama-French Factor Models (FF3F, FF5F, FF6F). Although these models offer distinct theoritical perspectives, they share a common objective: to explain the relationship between risk and return more accurately. However, variations in market structures, the emergence of empirical anomalies, and the rapid growth of digital assets have challenged the explanatory power and validity of several traditional asset pricing models. Consequently, this Systematic Literature Review (SLR) aims to map the evolution of asset pricing theory, examine the theoritical fondations of major asset pricing frameworks, identify existing research gaps, and propose directions for future scholarly inquiry. The findings suggest that no single asset pricing model is capable of universally explaining variations in asset returns across all market environments. Furthermore, the rise of digital assets and advances in big data analytics highlight the needed for new generation of asset pricing theories that are more adaptive to the complexities and dynamics of contemporary financial markets.

Abstract

This study compares the performance of stock portfolios in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore over the period 2021–2025. The objective is to evaluate and compare portfolio returns, risk levels, and risk-adjusted performance across the three capital markets. Using a quantitative approach and secondary stock market data, country-specific portfolios are constructed based on selected blue-chip stocks and evaluated using equally weighted portfolio techniques. Portfolio performance is assessed through mean return, standard deviation, beta, Sharpe Ratio, Treynor Ratio, and Jensen’s Alpha. The analysis provides insights into differences in portfolio performance among the three markets and examines the extent to which risk is compensated by return. The findings are expected to contribute to the portfolio management literature and provide practical guidance for investors seeking diversification opportunities within Southeast Asian equity markets.
