Temasek return to shareholders only 1.5% last year, but S & P 500 increase 26.6%

There is a stock market rally going on in the world with the S & P up 26.6% over the same period as Temasick's annual reporting period, (I used the S & P Chart from April 1st 2013 to March 31st 2014) and Whore Jinx comes in at 1.5% return only? What the fuck is this shit? We should have put the money into index mutual funds with Fidelity or some of the big fund managers, pay the 0.2% management fee and collect the rest of the 26.4% in returns. The spread in performance by Temasick's management and the S & P 500 is an astounding 25.1% in the red. In other words, based on a portfolio of $223 billion dollars, Temasek should have earned an extra $55.973 billion dollars more!! This is money that taxpayers do not have because Whore Jinx bet wrong on the China market. Any CEO would have been fired long ago for this shit. ANy self respecting CEO would have killed herself, but not this thick skin butch. Of course PAP apologists like SamLeong will come here and say its paper losses. Well, if Temasek is set up as a rainy day fund, than there is always a possibility that the money can be taken out of Temasek for a national emergency. In that case, an extra $55.9 billion would be very welcomed.

We would not even know about this if not for the fact that Temasek had to raise money by selling billions $ in bonds. As part of the requirement for Moodys and other rating agencies to rate their bonds, they have to file their annual financial report. Otherwise, taxpayers will all be in the dark. Fucking PAP. Every one knows the China market is played out, their growth slowed down and their banks in serious loans write off positions. She must be the last fund manager in the world to get the memo. And why is this apuneh FT Rohit Sipahimalani defending this performance? Why not Whore Jinx? Rohit the Thambi is yet another ex Morgan Stanley shitskins, which I have written about before. Temasek has way too many former Morgan Stanley jackasses there, and do too much business with Morgan Stanley even after they were sold shitty companies by MS. Would u trust an MBA grad from Indian Institute of Management in Ahmedabad? I wouldn't. But I guess whore jinx does. He must have been brought on board by Iswaran.



Singapore’s Temasek takes it on the chin

Leslie Shaffer | Writer for CNBC.com


Despite last year's global stock market rally, Temasek Holdings, Singapore's sovereign wealth fund, generated a shareholder return of just 1.5 percent for the 12 months ended March 31, hurt by its focus on Singapore and China.

"It's nothing to do the dance of joy over, but it's still squeezing a positive TSR (total shareholder return)" despite "paper losses" on its equity holdings," said Song Seng Wun, head of research at CIMB. "On the plus side, hopefully, is that the new net investment will help future earnings," he said, but added he expects it will take a while for the China rebalancing story to play out.

The sovereign wealth fund's TSR was down from 8.9 percent in the previous year. That compares with the 10-year average return of 9 percent and 16 percent since the fund's inception since 1974. The portfolio size rose 3.7 percent to a record 223 billion Singapore dollars ($179 billion) in the period.

By the end of the financial year, Temasek's largest geographical exposures were Singapore and China, at 31 percent and 25 percent, respectively. Stock markets were down in both countries over the reporting period, although they've since posted modest recoveries.

Singapore's STI index shed around 4 percent over the fiscal year, while Hong Kong's HSCEI, or Hang Seng China Enterprises Index, fell more than 7 percent, compared with the S&P 500's more than 18 percent gain over the same period.

"Our portfolio is anchored in Asia. A large portion of our portfolio is in Singapore and related to China," noted Rohit Sipahimalani, co-head of the investment group.

SingTel remains the fund's largest single-name holding at 13 percent of its portfolio, followed by China Construction Bank and DBS Group at 6 percent and 5 percent, respectively.

"In the very near term, there clearly are headwinds [in China]. There's tightening credit, there is a real-estate slowdown," Sipahimalani told CNBC.

Only an idiot would judge a fund based upon a 12 month period.

Temasek has a fantastic track record and is one of the highest ranked funds in the whole world.

Temasek Holdings (abbreviated as Temasek) is an investment company owned by the Government of Singapore. Incorporated in 1974, Temasek has a multinational team of over 450 people. Temasek owns and manages a net portfolio of S$215 billion[SUP][3][/SUP] (US$173 billion) as at 31 March 2013, mainly in Singapore and Asia.[SUP][4][/SUP] It is an activeshareholder and investor, and its portfolio covers a broad spectrum of sectors including financial services, telecommunications, media and technology, transportation and industrials, life sciences, consumer, real estate, as well as energy and resources.
Temasek is one of a few global firms assigned with the highest overall corporate credit ratings of "AAA" by Standard & Poor's[SUP][5][/SUP] and "Aaa" by Moody's.[SUP][6][/SUP] It has also attained perfect quarterly scores[SUP][7][/SUP] on the Linaburg-Maduell Transparency Index, a measure of the openness of government-owned investment funds

  • Temasek’s Total Shareholder Return (TSR) for the year was 8.86%. Compounded annual return to shareholder over the past decade was 13% while TSR since the company’s inception in 1974 was 16%.[SUP][3][/SUP]

What you fail to understand is that Temasek plans for the long term and short term measurements are meaningless.

it says its a global stock market rally,5 years since the 2008 crash.....if stock markets all round the world are experiencing a gigantic boom and earning money like nobody business and ur fund is lagging behind by 25% something is seriously wrong here.....this shows that Temasek is totally disconnected from the market and going off on a tangent of its own.....

and temasek past high returns are nothing special....when ur husband is the prime minister of the country and dictates the economic policies.....and ur portfolio consist of monopolistic crony companies that form up to 26% of the nation's gdp.....and ur busy importing foreigners like nobody business....even a monkey can achieve warren buffet type results.

Wake up lah ...Tharman told parliament that GIC managed 5 percent return over the long run. That's is utter dismal performance. Put all the money into a S&P ETF and you could get 7 percent return. And save the hundreds of millions spent to operate GIC!
Temasek & GIC are laggards in investment! That's a fact.

Her experiment has cost us a few hundred billions.

Rubbish. She has made tons of money for Singaporeans and based upon her astute strategy, I am fully confident that she's going to do even better in the future.

Rubbish. I have total confidence that a forensic audit will show that Ho Jinx has wasted hundreds of billions of sinkapore's reserves.

We will never know because Temasek and GIC are not transparent organizations.

Sinkapore is so insignificant that no one really bothers to verify the spin put out by the PAP government. That's a fact.
You think the rating agencies have more info than the government is feeding them?

PAP Government has a dedicated team to do this write up in wikipedia. It is spin ...that's all to it.

When some overseas institution rates Singapore badly, all the PAP government detractors lap it up and quote it as the gospel truth.

When they rate Singapore tops, it's flawed data.

If you have to cherry pick in such a manner, you've obviously lost the plot.

The plot is clear ....the government robs sinkees of higher returns in their CPF.

The government can allow sinkees to put their money in the S&P etf and let the money grow over 30 years. Nope, the government takes the money, pay a meagre interest and then let a laggard fund manager invest that money, generating below average returns.

That's the fact. Everything else is obfuscation.

If the government did away with the CPF and people were relied upon to invest the money themselves, all they'd do is spend it all and they'd have nothing to their names when they reached 55.

There would be a handful of prudent and astute investors who would do better without the CPF scheme but these would be few and far between. In fact, this category of Singaporeans will be investing wisely regardless and they'll have far more than the CPF minimum sum when they turn 55.

That is a fact. All else is wishful thinking.
