Temasek Holdings is not a government agency, although its sole shareholder is the Singapore Ministry of Finance. The company started off with an initial portfolio of over $250 million of various businesses held by the Singapore Government made out of a very diverse group of hotels, shoe makers, iron and steel mills, and even a bird park. The company has grown tremendously and, as of 2015, Temasek Holdings holds an estimated almost $200 billion in its portfolio with an emphasis in Singapore and Asia. The company has also expanded its physical presence with 10 offices located around the globe and has had a 16% total shareholder return since its inception, compounded annually. Temasek Holdings’s investment philosophy focuses on “Transforming Economies; Growing Middle Income Populations; Deepening Comparative Advantages; and Emerging Champions.” The company invests in a variety of industries including services; telecommunications, media and technology; transportation and industrials; life sciences, consumer and real estate; as well as energy and resources with holdings on the NYSE focused on the healthcare and services sectors.
