    How we invest

    Investing in Technology

    Technology has disrupted traditional industries, spawning new businesses in its wake. To adapt to this challenging environment, we have expanded our investing and organisational efforts in this area, with a focus on identifying good companies, good technologies, and good business models.

    Investing in technology

    GIC has been investing in the technology space since our founding. Our Technology Business Group monitors and assesses industry trends, and recommends GIC’s overall technology portfolio size and composition, and partnership strategy. Our Technology Investment Group handles most of our early stage investments, through venture capital funds, co-investments, and direct investments. We also have sector specialists for public and private market investments.

    We leverage our core strengths to invest in technology:

    Given the uncertain and rapid nature of technological disruption, we remain cautious and selective. We manage investment risk by diversifying, maintaining a robust investment process, adhering to strict pricing discipline, understanding the risk-reward calculus, and sizing the investment.
