Summary · why it matters
GIC, Singapore's sovereign wealth fund, is set to increase its investments in hedge funds by 30 billion US dollars over the next three years, while also expanding into artificial intelligence. The capital will be deployed gradually across the three-year period, focusing on global macro, quantitative, and multi-strategy funds that can swiftly adjust portfolios in response to market conditions. GIC believes the future investment environment will favor these three fund types amid a landscape that remains fluid and uncertain. Meanwhile, GIC's 20-year annualised real rate of return has fallen to 3.4 percent, its lowest since 2020, while the sovereign wealth fund institute estimates GIC manages assets worth around 936 billion US dollars.
