Singapore assets now comprise 27 per cent of Temasek's portfolio, up from 24 per cent a year earlier. That boosted its net portfolio to a record $403 billion for the period. Eighteen per cent of its portfolio now comprises TMT assets, down from 21 per cent, while exposure to transport and industrials is up 22 per cent from 19 per cent. Exposure to China dropped to 22 per cent from 27 per cent in the same period. The share of listed assets also fell victim to the global market downturn and inflated the value of unlisted assets to 52 per cent of its portfolio, up from 45 per cent in the past. The one-year return is down from 24.53 per cent in the financial year ended March 31, 2021.
Temasek Holdings reported that the net value of its portfolio grew to $286.48 billion at the end of March — surpassing last year's record high.
"Amid the uncertainty in global markets, we steadily invested and divested to capture opportunities aligned with long-term structural trends," Temasek said in a statement. Separately, Sembcorp Industries hopes that by 2025, the company will be able to make its sustainable solutions portfolio contribute 70% of the group's net profit, Temasek said. Geopolitical uncertainties coupled with "rising inflation, surging commodity prices and severe supply chain bottlenecks have uncovered further fault lines in the global marketplace," Temasek said. Still, the state-owned investor warned that the outlook for the global economy remains in a "fragile state." - Geopolitical uncertainties coupled with "rising inflation, surging commodity prices and severe supply chain bottlenecks have uncovered further fault lines in the global marketplace," Temasek said. - The investor also warned the outlook for the global economy remains in a "fragile state."

Temasek said it uses this to assess a company's impact on the climate and guide its investment decisions. “For China, our exposure has decreased and this is due to the drop in the market value of our China portfolio. Temasek Holdings’ unlisted assets saw a 16.2 per cent internal rate of return over the last 20 years, compared to 6.7 per cent from its listed assets. This is a smaller growth than in the previous financial year of 2020/2021, when Temasek reported a S$75 billion increase, or nearly 25 per cent spike in its net portfolio value. It hopes to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Sustainability “remains at the core” at Temasek, it said in its press release, noting that it is aiming to reduce the net carbon emissions of its portfolio to half of 2010 levels by 2030.

SINGAPORE -- Singapore state-owned investor Temasek will take a 'more cautious' approach on investments and slow the pace of its bets this fiscal year.
State-owned fund signals general caution but says worst of China tech regulatory crackdown has passed.
Temasek Holdings held its annual review on Jul. 12, revealing a net portfolio value of S$403 billion for its last financial year, which ended on Mar. 31, 2022.
It would thus continue to invest in China in accordance with its structural trends. He commented that this was an example of balanced resilience in Temasek’s portfolio. In light of these uncertainties, Temasek will continue to focus its efforts to "construct a resilient and forward looking portfolio", keep sustainability at its "core", and equip its workforce with the necessary skills for the future. One such company it invested in is a hydrogen fuel cell developer. Temasek also emphasised that the increase in value of the unlisted portfolio did not reflect an attempt to avoid listed assets due to the ongoing market downturn. It had raised its internal carbon price to US$50 (S$70.38) as well, and will progressively increase this to US$100 (S$140.77) by the end of the decade. Temasek gave a breakdown of what its unlisted portfolio looked like, with 36 per cent being Singapore companies, 26 per cent being other private companies including those in early stages of development, 20 per cent being in the asset management business, and 18 per cent in private equity and credit funds. The firm shared that its unlisted portfolio offers liquidity in the form of steady dividends from mature companies such as Mapletree, SP Group and PSA, the distributions from the portfolio of funds built up over the years, and the returns from when the unlisted assets are listed or sold. It continued to assess opportunities in China according to its four trends of digitisation, longer lifespans, sustainable living, and the future of consumption. Temasek also emphasised that the country had performed well for the company over the decade, and that it remains confident in the country’s long term outlook. Temasek states that it "remains anchored" in Asia, with 63 per cent of its portfolio located in the region. This was the first time in three years that Temasek held its review in person, having held it virtually in 2020 and 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
