A breadth of exposure
Managing a large, multi-asset portfolio, EIS works on some of the most complex problems. Team members partner senior management as well as leading experts in economics, capital markets and portfolio construction. ISG members too enjoy wide exposure, ranging from diverse sectors, regions and deal structures. Our flexible investment mandate opens us to investments in public and private equity, M&A financing, real estate, mezzanine and other debt instruments. Our mandate of evaluating innovative investment themes gives our investment professionals a unique learning experience and exposure.
A collaborative team
We are committed to cultivating teamwork. Our teams have developed our unique mix of cross-asset class capabilities to tap on investment opportunities within and across almost all asset classes. Sharing ideas and driving innovation allows us to keep pace with the growing diversity and complexity of the investment universe as well as the increasingly competitive environment.
Excellent learning opportunities
Direct interaction gives every team member the opportunity to learn from senior management and leading subject matter experts from the industry and within GIC. Rotations to specialist groups, both internally and with external business partners, also allow us to gain additional depth in our professional skills and experience.
Being in the Real Return Programme team empowers me to explore new strategies that complement the GIC portfolio. The nurturing environment allows highly-motivated team members to collaborate and strive towards a common goal.
Economics & Investment Strategy
As a young professional, I have benefitted from GIC’s emphasis on professional development and mentorship. With frequent and direct feedback from managers, I can continuously learn and improve on the job. Senior staff across departments are open to sharing their experiences and investment insights, advising us on professional and personal growth over a cup of coffee.
Integrated Strategies Group
There's never a dull day working in EIS or GIC, where we have enormous responsibilities, but also have some fun as a team! The challenges we face in the financial markets keep us humble and focussed. It also helps build our culture of learning, enterprise and teamwork.
Economics & Investment Strategy
EIS has the task of constructing our long-term portfolio policy, undertaking dynamic asset allocation over the medium-term, shaping capital allocation across our active strategies, plus developing alternative investments models. Our in-depth research covers investment models, asset allocation, portfolio construction, asset market cycles, and thematic issues that affect our total portfolio. We are also responsible for analysing expected returns of asset classes, and the macro outlook that affects the investment environment. Part of our work also involves continually refining the guiding framework of all portfolio activities to enable consistently good decisions at the highest levels.
Our investment professionals are based globally, including Singapore, New York, London and Japan. This lets us assess deals through multiple geographies. By up-sizing high quality investments, engaging unconventional partners and structures, and exploring innovative investment themes, we enhance GIC's alpha-generating capability and capacity. As we are a flexible team that works closely and collaboratively with other investment groups, our members have gained significant exposure to diverse sectors, regions and deal structures.
