GIC RE's investment management process combines top-down research-led asset allocation that sets the broad directions for our investment strategy, with rigorous bottom-up deal sourcing and evaluation. In this way, GIC RE is able to attain a structured big-picture and yet practical approach to investment.
GIC RE's decisions to make new investments, hold or sell existing assets are guided by investment hurdle rates for each country. These are based on local currency long-term bond yields adjusted for inherent property-related as well as investment-specific risks.
Drawing on its experience as a global investor since its inception in 1982, GIC RE has put in place a unique investment management process tailored to meet the challenges of investing across international markets. We particularly emphasise on:
An innovative and flexible approach to real estate investment is one of GIC RE's key strengths. We constantly seek the most appropriate investment platforms, products and markets so as to better manage risks and improve investment performance.
Given the local nature of the real estate industry and the complexities of managing a large, diversified global portfolio, GIC RE places great importance not only on the need for local expertise and experience, but also on establishing long-term, strategic relationships with other institutional investors, local players, operators, fund managers and service providers. This facilitates the valuable combination of GIC RE's global industry perspective and our partners' local market knowledge, operating capabilities and contacts.
GIC RE is able to respond quickly to investment opportunities due to our depth of capital and efficient operating structure. As we are relatively unconstrained by capital market movements, our investment horizons are flexible and generally longer term.
The highest standards of integrity and professionalism guide GIC RE's investment philosophy, business practices and conduct towards our partners and counter-parties.
