Temasek overcomes deficit as it increases value by S$56 billion

Temasek said it will continue to build its institution for the long term and deepen commitment to the wide community in Singapore and the rest of the world.

Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited released on Wednesday its annual performance report and institutional review, Temasek Report 2010 – Making a Difference, for the financial year ended 31 March 2010.

The company's portfolio value recovered to a year-end high of S$186 billion, up S$56 billion from a year ago, with a robust one-year total shareholder return (TSR) of over 42%.

“Our portfolio has delivered consistently through many market cycles. Long-term TSR by market value held steady at 17% since inception, while 20-year TSR was 16%,” said Mr S Dhanabalan, Chairman of Temasek Holdings.

Aimed at creating and delivering sustainable value for its stakeholders as an active investor and shareholder of successful enterprises, Temasek is also committed to consistently contributing to the development of people and communities over the long term.

In 2009, Temasek endowed S$170 million for the Singapore community, including endowments for health care and special needs. The Temasek Foundation committed almost S$20 million to 35 programmes in Asia, including Singapore, particularly for health care and education. Separately, in its first year, Temasek Cares committed close to S$2 million to five programmes for the needy in Singapore.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
