Temasek Holdings cuts staff compensation over 'disappointing' FTX investment

This was after the investment firm conducted an internal review on the matter.

Months after the FTX bankruptcy, Singapore-based investment firm, Temasek revealed that it reduced its pay for the investment team and senior management who were accountable for investing in the cryptocurrency trading.

“Although there was no misconduct by the investment team in reaching their investment recommendation, the investment team and senior management, who are ultimately responsible for investment decisions made, took collective accountability and had their compensation reduced,” read the company statement.

Prior to this declaration, the investment company said its independent team underwent an internal review of the investment and such findings were presented to the board risk and sustainability committee.

It stated that based on the allegations from prosecutors and key executives of FTX, there was fraudulent conduct hidden from investors, which includes Temasek.

Temasek said it was disappointed with the outcome of the investment and the negative effect on its reputation.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
