GIC Reports Lowest Five-Year Return Since 2013, Plans $30 Billion Hedge Fund Investment
Singapore's sovereign wealth fund GIC reported its lowest five-year annualized return since 2013, dropping to 3.6% due to reduced risk exposure and bond market challenges. Despite this, its 20-year nominal return remains 5.6%. In response to global uncertainties and softer returns, GIC plans to invest an additional $30 billion in hedge funds over three years, focusing on agile strategies and expanding exposure to artificial intelligence across sectors. The US remains its largest investment market.
