Temasek is one of three key financial institutions in Singapore that are linked to the Singapore Government. The other two institutions are the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation (“GIC”), which manages the Government reserves; and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), Singapore’s Central Bank (click here for more). Temasek was incorporated under the Singapore Companies Act in 1974 to own and commercially manage investments and assets previously held by the Singapore Government. As noted on the Government-owned Investment Company’s website, this allowed the Ministry of Finance to focus on its core role of policymaking and regulations, while Temasek would own and manage these investments on a commercial basis. Temasek’s initial portfolio comprised of shares in companies, start-ups and joint ventures previously held by the Singapore Government - these included a bird park, a hotel, a shoe maker, a detergent producer, naval yards converted into a ship repair business, a start-up airline, and an iron and steel mill.

Amongst the businesses that Temasek currently list as its major investments are SGX-listed stocks DBS Group Holdings (“DBS”), Singapore Telecommunications (“Singtel”), Keppel Corp, Sembcorp Industries, ST Engineering, Singapore Airlines, CapitaLand, Olam International and SATS as major portfolio investments.
