Temasek’s biggest financial assets dragged company performance

Find out who slowed the company’s returns.

According to CIMB Research, Temasek’s assets probably grew at a slower pace in the year to March because the value of some of its biggest financial assets declined.

The state-owned investment company will release its annual review today, and CIMB says that it may have increased the value of its holdings by about 4% in the year to March 31 compared to 8.6% in the previous year.

Bloomberg indicated that the top four lenders in Temasek’s portfolio include China Construction Bank and Industrial & Commercial Bank of China, and share prices of Chinese banks declined as China’s economy heads for the weakest expansion in 24 years amid rising debt and a clampdown on shadow banking.

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.
