Who We Are
GIC is one of the three investment entities in Singapore that manage Singapore's reserves, alongside the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and Temasek. We manage most of the Government’s financial assets, investing for the long term with an aim to preserve and enhance the international purchasing power of the funds placed in our care.
The reserves are a critical resource for Singapore’s future. First, they are a valuable buffer for unavoidable downturns. Second, a strong national balance sheet fosters investor confidence, enhancing the Singapore dollar’s resilience. Third, investing the reserves provides a source of income.
Singaporeans benefit from the returns of GIC, as well as those of MAS and Temasek. The Net Investment Returns Contribution (NIRC), estimated to be S$28.5 billion in Financial Year (FY) 2026, has allowed the Government to make further investments for the long term, such as in education, R&D, healthcare, and improving our physical environment.
The Group Executive Committee is the highest management body in GIC, bringing together the Group’s functional and investment heads. The committee reviews and approves major business, governance, investment, and risk policy issues, which apply to the entire group, and oversees organisational management initiatives, business planning, and personnel matters.

General Counsel
The Global Leadership Group (GLG) is a select group of Managing Directors who hold enterprise leadership roles in GIC. They lead significant parts of the business, drive our most important cross-functional efforts, and come together regularly to discuss enterprise-wide strategic topics.
People are the heart of GIC. Our investment professionals manage the reserves for the long term in partnership with our business professionals. Regardless of role or function, we are one GIC team — united in the common pursuit of investing for Singapore.
Established in 1981, GIC was the brainchild of Dr Goh Keng Swee, then Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the Monetary Authority of Singapore. Dr Goh was a singular man, whose bold vision continues to drive a secure financial future for Singapore.
“There is no real secret about the way in which most nations and individuals grow rich. They must save a good part of their income, wisely and profitably invested. The more you save and the more wisely you invest, the faster you get rich.”
Dr Goh Keng Swee
Deputy Chairman, GIC (1981-1994)
Use sound judgment to take appropriate and informed risks.
Treat everyone with dignity. Value the perspectives and work of others.
Be honest, ethical, and trustworthy. Do what’s right.
Reward both achievements and behaviours equitably.
Deliver best-in-class outcomes with professional pride. Strive to be the best you can be.
Mr Lee Kuan Yew
Founding Chairman, GIC (1991-2011)
The Government, represented by the Ministry of Finance (MOF), mandates GIC to manage Singapore’s foreign reserves with the aim of achieving good long-term real returns. It also ensures that a competent board of directors is in place to oversee GIC’s management of the reserves.
The GIC Board is responsible for GIC’s overall performance and adherence to the risk and return objectives set by the Government.
The GIC Management is responsible for formulating and executing investment strategies and making individual investment decisions. It also reports to the Government on the risk and performance of the GIC Portfolio.
When diverse individuals feel included, we build shared belonging to GIC and to one another, in service of GIC’s mission. This enables us to build a community where we can be our authentic selves and where our contributions are recognised and aligned with corporate goals.
Sustainability is integral to GIC’s mandate to preserve and enhance the international purchasing power of the reserves under our management.
GIC’s purpose of securing Singapore’s financial future is predicated on a thriving global environment. We therefore empower our employees to contribute meaningfully to build resilient and liveable communities in the markets that we operate in.
Our With Love, GIC employee volunteering platform and long-term programme partnerships with community partners empower our employees to make a difference in the communities where we live and work.
Established in 2016, GIC Insights is GIC’s flagship thought leadership event that convenes global business leaders to deliberate over long-term issues pertinent to the international business and investment community.
The Bridge Forum is a unique platform that explores technological disruption and innovation. Since 2018, Bridge Forum has convened global business leaders and technology trailblazers to connect, share exclusive insights, and develop investment opportunities.
