We deploy capital in areas where we can utilise our comparative advantages, namely, a long investment horizon, global presence, sector expertise, as well as skilled, and experienced teams. 

We tap into our advantages to reap excess returns from investments that require longer gestation periods, and operational value to realise their potential. Our investing effort is carried out by a team of in-house investment professionals, organised along regional, and product lines. We conduct in-depth due diligence, and research to identify businesses with the potential to generate good long-term returns. While the bulk of our investments are in developed markets, particularly in North America, and Europe, we also have a meaningful presence in emerging markets. 

As an employer, we firmly believe every individual brings with them unique diversity of thought and perspectives to meaningfully enrich perspectives of GIC teams to drive competitive performance.

As an investor, we believe that diversity is a hallmark of business best practice, and a key consideration we include in investment due diligence to drive long-term shareholder value.

GIC is intentional in our efforts to harness diversity for performance.

We are a Platinum sponsor of Girls Are Investors (GAIN), a charity set to improve gender diversity in asset management by building a talent pipeline of entry-level female candidates.

GIC launched the GEP as a dedicated programme providing internships to students with disabilities with potential for full-time conversion. We hope that through the work experience gained during their time with us, these students gain the confidence, practical knowledge and industry networks that will enhance their future employability. GIC has partnered with SG Enable, 10000 Able Interns and Leonard Cheshire’s Change 100 internship. Since 2019, we have welcomed interns joining various teams across the investment and business departments in Singapore and London.

In 2022, GIC and Yayasan MENDAKI have entered into a partnership to establish the “GIC-MENDAKI Scholarship” for Singaporean Malay/Muslim students who are keen to pursue a career in the finance industry.

We believe an inclusive environment will yield exceptional contributions, and instill a sense of belonging.

At GIC, we seek to build an inclusive culture via both top-down and bottom-up initiatives. All through actively inviting participation and contribution from all, and ensuring diverse needs of all our employees are well met. From designing our diverse range of employee benefits with inclusivity in mind, to organising GIC-wide celebratory and learning campaigns on key diversity, equity, & inclusion events globally. We recognise that every employee has a part to play in this continuous journey towards greater inclusivity. 

This journey towards a more inclusive GIC will continue to require consistent learning, dedicated commitment and intentional efforts to impact our day-to-day micro, workplace experiences. For lasting impact to happen, each one of us plays a role to forge our organization culture.

GIC is a member of the Singapore Business Network on Disability (SBNoD) and continues to explore partnerships with relevant organisations in the disability inclusion space. We regularly engage SG Enable to deliver educational workshops to GICians on Interacting with persons with disabilities to better foster an inclusive and enabling workplace for all. We have also been a regular participant in the RISE Mentorship Programme by SG Enable, where GICians mentor students with disabilities on topics related to career development. Through this, we hope mentees will gain confidence, develop relevant skills, learn more about the working world, and build a network that will help their career in future.

In 2023 and 2021, GIC was honoured to be among the inaugural winners of the Enabling Mark (Silver) by SG Enable, in recognition of our efforts in promoting the inclusion of persons with disabilities into mainstream society. This national-level award recognises organisations who adopt best practices, demonstrate good outcomes, and show commitment to disability-inclusive employment. The assessment of the award reviewed GIC’s workplace accessibility, accommodations, and the efforts we have made to ensure equitable access and opportunities for employees with disabilities. We were also validated for our fair and progressive human resource practices such as equitable compensation and benefits, learning development and advancement to ensure access and opportunities for employees with disabilities.

Our PRIME Values guides our thoughts and actions, with Respect and Merit representing our firm belief in equality and equity for all employees, regardless of background. 

We ensure people management policies and practices are fair for all, across multiple dimensions such as compensation, performance, conduct and progression.

We are committed to conducting proactive self-checks on our internal processes and outcomes to ensure we are building an equitable workplace for all GICians to be at their best.

GIC has adopted The Halo Code, the UK’s first Black hair code. No Black employee should have to change their natural or protective hairstyle to thrive at work. We hope that the Halo Code will move us one step closer to a world free from discrimination, where all Black members of our community have their identities fully recognised and celebrated.
