GIC's portfolio reaches 5.7% annualised return over 20 years

Adjusting for global inflation, GIC’s annualised real rate of return over the same period was 3.8%.

The GIC Portfolio achieved an annualised United States dollar nominal rate of return of 5.7% over the 20-year period that ended 31 March 2025.

Adjusting for global inflation, GIC’s annualised real rate of return over the same period was 3.8%.

The figures are in line with GIC’s mandate to preserve and enhance the international purchasing power of the reserves under its management over the long term.

Whilst there are long-term opportunities in electrification and energy efficiency, differences in how countries view their energy supply means investment trends will not be uniform across regions.

Moreover, following the establishment of GIC’s AI Council in 2023, GIC is further building its AI capabilities to enhance investment decision-making and operational efficiency.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
