SINGAPORE, July 24 (Xinhua) -- Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC posted an annualized nominal return of 5.6 percent over the 20 years ended March 31, 2026, while its annualized real rate of return, adjusted for global inflation, stood at 3.4 percent, the fund said on Friday.
The 20-year real rate of return, GIC's primary performance measure, reflects its mandate to preserve and enhance the international purchasing power of Singapore's reserves over the long term, the fund said in a statement.
GIC said recurring geopolitical tensions, inflation, higher interest rates, climate change and rapid technological advances have reshaped the investment landscape over the past decade. In response, it maintained a diversified portfolio to improve resilience, even if that moderated returns during stronger market periods.
The fund identified artificial intelligence as a key investment focus and said it would continue assessing opportunities across public and private markets.
It also unveiled a refreshed investment framework from 2026, aimed at enhancing active investing and long-term returns.
Chief Executive Officer Lim Chow Kiat said GIC would remain focused on disciplined diversification and active capital allocation to generate sustainable long-term real returns. ■
