Analyse your fitInvestment thesis
Temasek is a global investment company headquartered in Singapore, operating as a generational investor with a long-term horizon and no fund-life constraints. Its T2030 strategy focuses on constructing a resilient and forward-looking portfolio — one which is able to withstand exogenous shocks and perform through market cycles, while capitalising on growth opportunities with the potential for sustainable returns above its risk-adjusted cost of capital over the long term. The portfolio is guided by four structural trends — Digitisation, Sustainable Living, Future of Consumption, and Longer Lifespans — and is diversified across three segments: Singapore-based Temasek Portfolio Companies, Global Direct Investments, and Partnerships, Funds, and Asset Management Companies. Sustainability is embedded at the core, with commitments to halve net carbon emissions by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050, and an impact investing strategy targeting underserved communities across Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
Notable quotes
“Bold, aggressive actions are needed to make the global net zero ambition a reality. Decarbonization Partners represents one of several steps we are taking to follow through on our commitment to halve the emissions from our portfolio by 2030, and ultimately move to net zero emissions by 2050.”
“Reflecting on my own leadership journey in Temasek, I benefitted from the multiple roles and exposure gained across our investment, portfolio management, regional market and corporate functions. We want to provide our next-generation leaders with the same opportunities to learn and stretch themselves in various appointments and responsibilities. This is crucial in ensuring that Temasek stays agile and adaptable in an era of unprecedented global challenges.”
“We aim to construct a resilient and forward-looking portfolio to deliver sustainable returns over the long term. Our portfolio comprises resilient long-term investments that deliver stable returns with a narrower range of outcomes over time, as well as more dynamic investments with strong growth prospects and long-term compounding potential.”
