Duckduck Turbocharged March 22, 2016 Share March 22, 2016 (edited) Go watch The Big Short. Rating agencies and banks are all bs. They just want to make money and disregard everything else. Don't trust them but yourself. i dont even trust temasick or g!c. temasick ownself check ownself, n so does g!c, which is even better coz it has never published how much it owns, so if there are losses, which confirm have, its anyones guess how much. Accountability to citizens my foot, so we can only hope tat it perpetually makes more than it loses. Edited March 22, 2016 by Duckduck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_korusawa 5th Gear July 7, 2016 Share July 7, 2016 Singapore's Temasek hit by first loss in 7 years! https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/singapores-temasek-hit-first-loss-7-years-080118095.html Singapore state investment giant Temasek Holdings said Thursday its global portfolio suffered its first annual loss since the financial crisis seven years ago as global stock markets were hit by a series of China-linked routs. Temasek announced that the value of its global assets was Sg$242 billion ($180 billion) by March, down nine percent from last year's record Sg$266 billion. The sovereign wealth fund said its net profit over the past year plunged 43 percent to Sg$8.0 billion. Equity markets worldwide were hammered last summer by fears over China's economy as Beijing announced a shock devaluation of its yuan currency. Another rout followed in January and February as questions were again raised about China's outlook and its leaders' ability to handle a long-running growth slowdown. Both events wiped trillions off valuations worldwide. Temasek said in its annual report Thursday that the outlook was still tough with the US economy heading for a modest growth path while China continues to see slowing expansion. Europe's growth outlook has been dented by Britain's surprise vote last month to leave the European Union, it said. "The external environment will remain quite challenging for Singapore given its intimate links to global trade and demand," Temasek said in a statement. "However, Singapore's openness also means exposure to both mature and growth economies, which can provide opportunities for a balanced growth in future." Temasek -- a strategic investor that tracks long-term performance rather than year-on-year gains -- holds among its portfolio telecoms group SingTel, Singapore Airlines and banking giant China Construction Bank so, are we expecting more increases besides car park rates, electricity bills, taxes (GSTs, IRAS & others) in days to come?

Kusje Supersonic July 7, 2016 Share July 7, 2016 I don't like the way this "P&L" is being reported. They like to report only the portfolio value but even if the portfolio value increases, it doesn't necessarily mean that there is any profit as GIC or temasek could have just sucked up more of our CPF money to invest. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They like to report only the portfolio value but even if the portfolio value increases, it doesn't necessarily mean that there is any profit as GIC or temasek could have just sucked up more of our CPF money to invest. Exactly - Temasek could have "borrowed" more of our money to enlarge (in this case, shrink) the portfolio. Which would mean each individual investment would be worse than MINUS 9% on average. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
