Lim Chow Kiat

Lim Chow Kiat serves as CEO of GIC, Singapore's sovereign wealth fund managing the city-state's foreign reserves. GIC manages over $700 billion across public equities, fixed income, real estate, private equity, and infrastructure on a 20-year+ investment horizon. GIC is consistently ranked among the world's best-performing sovereign wealth funds for its disciplined, long-horizon approach and globally diversified portfolio. The firm is known for its research-driven investment process and collaborative culture. Lim has been with GIC since 2006 and became CEO in 2017. Under his leadership, GIC has deepened its engagement with private markets and accelerated its capabilities in technology-enabled investing, while maintaining the conservative governance framework that has made it a trusted steward of Singapore's national reserves. GIC's willingness to make large, long-duration commitments to illiquid asset classes has been a consistent source of return advantage over shorter-horizon investors.
