How We Build our Portfolio
Our investment framework capitalises on our core strengths including our ability to invest for the long term, flexible capital, and sound governance structure.
Our Policy Portfolio
The Policy Portfolio represents GIC’s asset allocation strategy over the long term. It accounts for the bulk of the risk and return potential of the GIC Portfolio. The Policy Portfolio seeks to balance the way different asset classes respond to varied possible economic environments.
Risk Management
Investing involves prudent risk-taking. Identifying and managing risk is therefore a core responsibility of all in GIC. Through a well-defined risk management framework, we ensure the risks taken are in line with our Client’s risk tolerance.
Investment Groups
Our investment teams manage a broad-based portfolio of asset classes. A focus on intrinsic value and price discipline guides them as they structure and pursue investment opportunities across asset classes and the capital structure.
