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.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
