GIC reports weakest 20-year investment growth in four years at 3.9%

GIC expects lower returns amidst US monetary policies, China property market challenges, and geopolitical tensions.

Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC reported a 3.9% rise in annualized real returns and a 5.8% rise in nominal returns as of 31 March.

This return rate covers inflation from April 2004 to March 2024.

This represents the weakest investment growth in four years, due to high interest rates, economic challenges in China, and geopolitical tensions.

GIC said that the global investment environment will continue to be threatened by US monetary policies, China’s property market challenges, and geopolitical tensions.

In addition, medium-term return prospects remain low and risk-reward less favourable due to elevated valuations across many risk assets, particularly in developed markets.

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.
