Many bonds are earning negative returns and that’s why stocks are at such heady levels. Many assets are being pushed up in value including real estate because there is liquidity chasing yield

The five-year nominal return rose to 8.8%, the highest since 2014. The fund doesn’t publish one-year results or its assets under management.\nThe firm, which the Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute estimates runs about $453 billion, is the latest institutional investor to report bumper results thanks to a stimulus-fueled recovery in public and private markets. GIC’s Singaporean peer Temasek Holdings Pte last week reported itsbiggest annual returnsince 2010, while a Kuwaiti sovereign savings fund hada 33% gainover the same period.\n“It’s been a good recovery for almost everything,” Chief Investment Officer Jeffrey Jaensubhakij said in an interview before releasing results Friday, adding that public market gains also buoyed returns for private investments looking to list.\nWhile the U.S. remains the single biggest source of GIC’s assets at 34% -- down from 36% last year -- Asia excluding Japan is a fast-rising category, making up 26% of the mix.

Jaensubhakij said the firm recognizes that bonds and cash represent “guaranteed low returns” as opposed to the potentially low returns offered by other assets.\n“We are looking to move some asset allocation further out of those assets,” he said, adding that some riskier alternatives are also at higher prices. “So we’re in that unenviable position of trying to decide between two not so good alternatives.”\nChief Executive Officer Lim Chow Kiat said the bond market poses a universal problem for all investors, reflecting a longer-term, low-return theme that GIC has touched on for several years.\n“It’s something that’s very challenging but we try our best to find, in other asset classes, opportunities to augment the overall portfolio return,” he said. “Bonds give the clearest indication of the expected returns because today’s starting bond yield gives you a lot of clues.”\nShort term growth\nOverall, GIC is bullish on the short-term prospects for global markets thanks to the success of vaccines in combating Covid-19 and central banks around the world slashing interest rates and pumping in huge amounts of stimulus - much of which is yet to be spent.\n“Near term, from a growth and corporate earnings perspective, we are quite positive,” said Jaensubhakij. But the uncertainty caused by lumpy vaccine rollouts and new potential variants, rising inflation and higher bond yields are all negative factors. “There is good reason to be cautious about the overall returns environment over the next five years or so.”\nGIC’s solution will be to find niches, such as digital technology to help industries transform, sustainability and even businesses hit by geopolitical strife. GIC is a major investor in startups and data centers, and has teams looking for opportunities across the Chinese stock market, he added. The fund also plans to open an office in Sydney next year to target real estate and other assets in Australia.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":175378518,"gmtCreate":1627010038934,"gmtModify":1703482390468,"author":{"id":"4087557783698070","authorId":"4087557783698070","name":"Ermmmmmm","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b89bbeb73fe9212f0b5efc7185ae8a51","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"authorIdStr":"4087557783698070","idStr":"4087557783698070"},"htmlText":"Great !","listText":"Great !","text":"Great !","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/175378518","repostId":1111845769,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1111845769","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1627002960,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1111845769?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-07-23 09:16","market":"us","language":"en","title":"GIC Posts Best Gain Since 2015, Warns Lower Returns Are Coming","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1111845769","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund posted its biggest gain in several years on the back of an equitie","content":"<p>Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund posted its biggest gain in several years on the back of an equities rally but expects returns to be “significantly” lower over the next decade due to lofty valuations and rising bond yields.</p>\n<p>GIC Ptereported an annualized real return of 4.3% for the 20 years ending March 31, its best performance since 2015, and a jump from the 2.7% gain reported last year.

The five-year nominal return rose to 8.8%, the highest since 2014. The fund doesn’t publish one-year results or its assets under management.\nThe firm, which the Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute estimates runs about $453 billion, is the latest institutional investor to report bumper results thanks to a stimulus-fueled recovery in public and private markets. GIC’s Singaporean peer Temasek Holdings Pte last week reported itsbiggest annual returnsince 2010, while a Kuwaiti sovereign savings fund hada 33% gainover the same period.\n“It’s been a good recovery for almost everything,” Chief Investment Officer Jeffrey Jaensubhakij said in an interview before releasing results Friday, adding that public market gains also buoyed returns for private investments looking to list.\nWhile the U.S. remains the single biggest source of GIC’s assets at 34% -- down from 36% last year -- Asia excluding Japan is a fast-rising category, making up 26% of the mix. Japan saw the biggest decline.\n\n\n\n\n\nGeographic mix in %\n2020\n2021\n\n\nUnited States\n36\n34\n\n\nAsia ex-Japan\n20\n26\n\n\nJapan\n14\n8\n\n\nEurozone\n10\n9\n\n\nMiddle East, Africa and the rest of Europe\n5\n5\n\n\nUnited Kingdom\n5\n5\n\n\nLatin America\n2\n3\n\n\nGlobal\n8\n10\n\n\n\nGIC is expecting lower returns over the next five to 10 years as inflation, rising yields, high valuations and lingering effects of the pandemic threaten to erode gains, according to the annual report.\n“The point to make is that in aggregate, they are significantly, significantly lower that what we have been able to enjoy over the past 20 years,” Jaensubhakij said, referring to projected returns for the fund.\nGIC reduced its bond and cash holdings over the year to about 45% of assets from 50%, and plans to reduce them further given the prospect for higher yields -- and lower prices -- for fixed income. Jaensubhakij said the firm recognizes that bonds and cash represent “guaranteed low returns” as opposed to the potentially low returns offered by other assets.\n“We are looking to move some asset allocation further out of those assets,” he said, adding that some riskier alternatives are also at higher prices. “So we’re in that unenviable position of trying to decide between two not so good alternatives.”\nChief Executive Officer Lim Chow Kiat said the bond market poses a universal problem for all investors, reflecting a longer-term, low-return theme that GIC has touched on for several years.\n“It’s something that’s very challenging but we try our best to find, in other asset classes, opportunities to augment the overall portfolio return,” he said. “Bonds give the clearest indication of the expected returns because today’s starting bond yield gives you a lot of clues.”\nShort term growth\nOverall, GIC is bullish on the short-term prospects for global markets thanks to the success of vaccines in combating Covid-19 and central banks around the world slashing interest rates and pumping in huge amounts of stimulus - much of which is yet to be spent.\n“Near term, from a growth and corporate earnings perspective, we are quite positive,” said Jaensubhakij. But the uncertainty caused by lumpy vaccine rollouts and new potential variants, rising inflation and higher bond yields are all negative factors. “There is good reason to be cautious about the overall returns environment over the next five years or so.”\nGIC’s solution will be to find niches, such as digital technology to help industries transform, sustainability and even businesses hit by geopolitical strife.
