Established in 1981 as the world's first non-commodity sovereign wealth fund, GIC was founded with a clear mission: to preserve and enhance Singapore's reserves over the long term. More than four decades on, its mandate is more vital than ever, as the country’s infrastructure, healthcare and education needs continue to grow.
Meanwhile, the world is experiencing geopolitical fragmentation, macroeconomic uncertainty, rising public debt, AI-driven disruption and energy bottlenecks at unprecedented levels, creating greater complexity and scarcity in the investment landscape. In an environment where no single view of the future can hold, how do we identify opportunities, manage risk and build portfolio resilience?
GIC’s approach is to prepare, not predict, focusing on diversification, granularity and agility in order to navigate market uncertainty and volatility.
Join us for an evening with CEO Mr Lim Chow Kiat as he shares the guiding principles behind GIC’s stewardship of Singapore’s reserves—a source of resilience and strength for generations to come.
