Temasek Holdings Launches Major Reform, Establishing Three New Entities to Focus on Core Businesses

28 August 2025, Singapore's sovereign investment institution Temasek Holdings announced its most significant organizational restructuring since 2015. It plans to establish three new entities by April 2026 to optimize business layout, enhance long-term investment capabilities, and adapt to global changes.

 

Core Measures: Clear Division of Responsibilities Among Three New Entities
Temasek International: Oversees group strategic planning, corporate governance, and cross-entity coordination. Temasek Chief Executive Officer Dilhan Pillay concurrently serves as CEO.
Temasek Global Investments: Focuses on global direct investments (including public markets and private equity). Seet Suan Soon serves as CEO, responsible for asset allocation and portfolio optimization.
Temasek Singapore Investment Portfolio Management: Focuses on local and regional asset operations and partnership management. Lim Hui Ying serves as CEO.
The three entities, together with the headquarters, form a "1+3" structure, constituting the core operational system of the "4th Generation Leadership Team" and aiming to enhance market responsiveness through professional division of labor.

 

Reform Drivers: Addressing Uncertainties and Planning for Long-Term Development
Founded in 1974 and 100% owned by Singapore's Ministry of Finance, Temasek reported a portfolio net value of SGD 434 billion for FY2025, with a 10-year compound annual return of 7%. Against the backdrop of accelerating global economic, geopolitical, and technological changes, traditional centralized management models can no longer meet current needs. Dilhan Pillay stated that the core of the reform is to "pave the way for long-term development towards 2040," unlocking the potential of professional talents and strengthening synergy through clear division of responsibilities, rather than focusing on cost optimization.

 

Goals and Significance
Enhancing Efficiency: Reducing management layers, optimizing decision-making processes, and strengthening its presence in emerging Asian markets and sectors such as technology and green economy.
Intergenerational Succession: The new leadership team focuses on "long-term value creation" and deepening cooperation with key markets such as China and India.
Supporting Singapore: Strengthening local asset optimization and global resource integration to bolster Singapore's economic resilience and international hub status.
