- Mr Quah Wee Ghee, President, GIC Asset Management Pte Ltd & Director, Equities
The Equities Department (EQD) invests in global equities in over 40 countries outside Singapore. The developed and emerging equities portfolios are managed with the objective of outperforming the respective Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) indices on a risk-adjusted basis in accordance with the asset-allocation policies and targets set by the Board.
The department consists of various product groups which manage portfolios with both macro and micro considerations. Complementing the product groups are the equities research division and the equities trading division. The former conducts in-depth company research while the latter implements the investment decisions made by the product groups and provides daily market information. Since 1981 when GIC was set up, EQD has grown from a simple unit comprising a few officers to a department with a staff strength of more than a hundred, of whom over half are investment professionals. While most of the officers are based in Singapore, its portfolio managers and traders for North America and Europe are based in New York and London respectively.
