Earlier this week, Temasek announced its FY2023 performance. Though its one-year Total Shareholder Return (TSR) was 5.07%, which should come as no surprise given the challenges in the global markets, Temasek’s three-year TSR remains strong at 8% while 20-year and 10-year TSRs were 9% and 6% respectively.
Given that Temasek’s shareholder is the Ministry of Finance and that the government clearly has no need for cash in the short term, Temasek’s investment philosophy has always been long-term in nature. In fact, it’s more appropriate to consider Temasek as a generational investor since they are not just investing for today’s generation, but for future generations of Singaporeans.
As such, what Temasek invests in needs to be made with prudence and with long-term goals in mind.
While it’s not possible for individual investors to completely replicate Temasek’s portfolio given that unlisted assets comprised 53% of its portfolio, what this also means is that about 47% of the investments that the organisation made are in publicly-listed companies that you and I can also invest in on the stock markets.
Within Temasek’s total portfolio (both listed and unlisted assets), 28% of its assets are in Singapore.
In this week’s edition of 4 Stocks This Week, we take a closer look at some of the Singapore-listed stocks that Temasek has taken a significant position in, and their performance over the past year.
