GIC

GIC operates as a state-owned investment manager. It allocates sovereign capital across public and private markets, external managers, and direct investments, seeking long-term risk-adjusted returns. Value is created through portfolio construction, asset selection, manager selection, and disciplined capital deployment over long time horizons.

GIC is Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund manager, incorporated in 1981 and wholly owned by the Government of Singapore. Its role is to manage capital on behalf of the state through long-term investment across asset classes, acting as a professional institutional investor rather than a consumer brand or software vendor.

The company creates value by allocating and managing large pools of capital with a long investment horizon. Its economic model is driven by investment performance on assets under management, with the Government of Singapore as the principal capital owner and beneficiary rather than a broad external client base.
