Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited, or simply Temasek, is a Singaporean state-owned conglomerate owned by the Government of Singapore. Incorporated on 25 June 1974, Temasek has a net portfolio of US$287 billion (S$382 billion) as of 2023, with S$27 billion divested and S$31 billion invested during the year.[1][5][6] Headquartered at Orchard Road, Singapore, it has 13 offices in 9 countries around the world, including in Beijing, Brussels, Hanoi, London, Mexico City, Mumbai, New York City, Paris, San Francisco, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Washington D.C.[7]
It is an active shareholder and investor, with four key structural trends guiding its long term portfolio construction—Digitisation, Sustainable Living, Future of Consumption, and Longer Lifespans.[8] Temasek's portfolio covers a broad spectrum of sectors. Its key focus investment areas include Consumer, Media & Technology, Life Sciences & Agri-Food, and Non-Bank Financial Services.[9]
Temasek has held overall corporate global credit ratings of “Aaa/AAA” by rating agencies Moody's[10] and Standard & Poor's[11] respectively since its inaugural credit ratings in 2004. It has also attained perfect quarterly scores[12] on the Linaburg-Maduell Transparency Index, a measure of the openness of government-owned investment funds. Temasek is primarily anchored in Asia, but with a global portfolio, with a 64% underlying exposure to developed economies.[13]
While Temasek is largely considered as being a sovereign wealth fund (SWF), there are major differences as it invests mostly in equities, is the outright owner of many assets and companies, and pays taxes like other commercial investment firms.[14]
Temasek's one-year total shareholder return (TSR) was 5.07%, with longer term 10-year and 20-year TSRs at 6% and 9% respectively, compounded annually. Its TSR since inception was 14%, compounded over 49 years.[15] In addition to Temasek, the Government of Singapore also owns GIC Private Limited, a traditional SWF which manages about US$744 billion (S$1.006 trillion) of assets as of 2022[16][17] and the compulsory pension programme Central Provident Fund (CPF) with assets of US$397 billion (S$540 billion),[18] giving a total publicly known AUM of approximately US$1.64 trillion.
