GIC enhances the government's portfolio

For the financial year ended March 2012, the 20-year annualised real rate of return was 3.9%.

The Government of Singapore Investment Corporation Pte Ltd said this means that GIC has enhanced the Government’s portfolio with real returns averaging 3.9% per year, in addition to having protected the portfolio against global inflation.

GIC continues to publish the 5-year and 10-year nominal rates of return to provide a sense of the on-going medium-term investment performance.

The 5-year annualised return in USD terms was 3.4% net of fees with a volatility of 12.9%, while the 10-year annualised return was 7.6% with a volatility of 10.4%. GIC said the returns and volatility statistics are compared against two composite global portfolios to offer perspective in reading the 5-year and 10-year figures.

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.
