About GIC
GIC - Securing Singapore's Financial Future
GIC is a leading global investment firm that manages Singapore's foreign reserves. The company was established in 1981 to manage the country's foreign assets and has since grown to become one of the largest sovereign wealth funds in the world. GIC invests globally across a range of asset classes, including equities, fixed income, real estate, private equity, and infrastructure.
At GIC, we are driven by a common purpose – securing Singapore's financial future. Our mission is to preserve and enhance the international purchasing power of Singapore's reserves over the long term. We do this by investing in high-quality assets that generate sustainable returns over time.
Our investment philosophy is based on three core principles: discipline, patience, and value. We believe that successful investing requires a disciplined approach to risk management and portfolio construction. We also recognize that patience is essential when it comes to generating long-term returns from investments.
Value investing is another key tenet of our philosophy at GIC. We seek out opportunities where we can buy assets at prices below their intrinsic value or fair market value. This approach allows us to generate attractive returns while minimizing downside risk.
Over the years, GIC has built an impressive track record of delivering strong investment performance for its stakeholders. Our long-term annualized rate of return stands at 3.4% above global inflation since our inception in 1981.
We have achieved this performance through a combination of rigorous research and analysis, prudent risk management practices, and a focus on building enduring partnerships with our portfolio companies.
One area where we have been particularly active in recent years is private equity investments. Private equity offers unique opportunities for investors like us who are looking for high-growth potential companies with strong fundamentals but may not be publicly traded yet or may be undervalued by public markets due to short-term fluctuations or other factors.
In addition to private equity investments, we also invest heavily in real estate around the world as well as infrastructure projects such as airports or toll roads which provide stable cash flows over time while also contributing positively towards economic growth within their respective regions.
At GIC we take environmental social governance (ESG) considerations seriously when making investment decisions because it aligns with our values as responsible stewards of capital entrusted upon us by generations past present & future citizens alike who rely on us for securing their financial futures sustainably without compromising on ethical standards nor sacrificing long term sustainability goals just for short term gains alone!
In conclusion,GIC has been instrumental in securing Singapore’s financial future through its disciplined approach towards investing across various asset classes globally while maintaining prudent risk management practices & ESG considerations throughout its operations.We will continue striving towards achieving sustainable growth whilst preserving & enhancing international purchasing power over time!
