Our Investment Activities
Purpose of Funds
Singapore’s reserves are a buffer in downturns, and are key to a strong national balance sheet. Additionally, income from the reserves supplements government revenues. GIC is one of the three reserves management entities in Singapore, alongside MAS and Temasek. We manage most of the Government’s financial assets.
Our History
GIC was the brainchild of former Deputy Prime Minister, Dr Goh Keng Swee. The spirit of Dr Goh and his pioneering team, which embodies values such as foresight, dedication, ingenuity and enterprise, continues to inspire us today.
Our Values
We maintain certainty of purpose and thoughtfulness in direction, remaining true to our core values and principles.
Governance
Our Client, the Singapore Government, sets the investment objective, risk parameters and investment horizon for the portfolio. It also ensures a competent Board of Directors is in place.
Santiago Principles
As a sovereign wealth fund and Board Member of the International Forum of Sovereign Wealth Funds (IFSWF), we implement and promote the Santiago Principles.
Technology
As technology has disrupted traditional industries and spawned new businesses, GIC’s investing and organizational efforts in this area have also expanded. Our ‘ODE to technology framework’ describes our holistic approach to responding to disruption.
Sustainability
We take a holistic approach to integrating sustainability opportunities and risks, alongside conventional financial and market considerations, so as to make better-informed decisions.
