Its investments are primarily focused in Singapore and across Asia, but also extend to developed markets in North America and Europe. Temasek's investment strategy is characterized by a long-term perspective and a focus on sustainable returns, guided by four key structural trends: digitization, sustainable living, the future of consumption, and longer lifespans. The firm employs a thematic investment approach that targets transforming economies, growing middle-income populations, deepening comparative advantages, and emerging champions. This strategy involves investing in sectors such as infrastructure, financial services, telecommunications, media, technology, consumer products, life sciences, and energy. Temasek maintains a diversified portfolio with a strategic mix aimed at balancing exposure between mature economies and growth regions, typically following a directional allocation of 40% Asia, 30% Singapore, 20% OECD countries, and up to 10% in other regions like Latin America and Africa. By adhering to these principles, Temasek aims to achieve sustainable financial performance while contributing positively to the communities it operates in.
