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

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.
