Temasek on Tuesday reported 24.5% growth in the year to March 31, bringing its portfolio to a record S$381 billion ($281.8 billion) net asset value, achieved by a remarkable level of activity during a global pandemic.

This positioning, achievable partly because of the existence of GIC as a more classic sovereign fund in Singapore, allowed it to benefit from the bounce in stock markets that followed the beginning of the Covid crisis – just as it was hit by the market decline in the previous financial year.
