The figure is a 5.2 per cent fall from the record S$403 billion a year ago.

SINGAPORE: Temasek Holdings on Tuesday reported a 5.2 per cent fall in the value of its net portfolio and signalled a “cautious” investment stance ahead amid a challenging macroeconomic environment.

While its portfolio companies in Singapore remained resilient, its global direct investments saw a reversal of gains from the high valuations in the last two years, particularly in the technology, healthcare and payments space, as valuations de-rated in the higher interest rate environment. Under the Net Investment Returns Contribution framework, the Government can spend up to half of the long-term expected investment returns generated by Temasek, sovereign wealth fund GIC and the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

Transportation and industrials and financial services continued to account for the biggest sectors in Temasek’s portfolio. Over the last decade, the unlisted portfolio has generated returns of over 10 per cent per annum on an internal rate of return basis, delivering higher returns than its listed portfolio, it added.
