“In an era of continued uncertainty, increasing the resilience of our portfolio is a key focus. This is why we had raised liquidity and focused on finding investment opportunities with stable long-term returns, including investments in real estate and infrastructure to protect our portfolio from inflation. The long-term compounding effect of these returns will enable us to deliver resilient real long-term returns amidst a challenging environment.” said Mr Lim Chow Kiat, Chief Executive Officer of GIC.

This year’s feature article, Infrastructure: A Resilient Strategy in Uncertain Times, explains the unique proposition of this asset class, as well as its risk and return characteristics.

GIC is also taking steps to capture sustainability-related investment opportunities. We are creating focused teams within asset classes, namely, the Climate Change Opportunities Portfolio in Public Equities, which will deploy more capital towards climate mitigation and adaptation. The Sustainability Solutions Group in Private Equity will increase its investments to early-stage energy transition opportunities. Finally, the Transition and Sustainable Finance Group in Fixed Income and Multi Asset will invest in opportunities such as funding decarbonisation and the grey-to-green transition from the bottom-up.

“We see expanding opportunities in the green transition space, and are confident that the new teams, as well as all other investment teams, will further integrate sustainability factors into GIC’s investment and corporate processes.” added Mr Lim.
