Private Equity International’s 2026 ranking puts GIC’s private equity exposure at 18 percent; $168.5 billion of its total portfolio, making it the world’s largest private equity investor. GIC doesn’t disclose its own assets under management. The department invests in companies directly and through funds, in both developed and emerging markets, and its activities include buyouts, venture capital and special situations. It invests through direct and co-investments, fund commitments, and private equity debt. In the Americas, where it has invested since 1982, it also runs secondaries and special opportunities strategies. There, direct investments typically range from $500M to over $1B and co-investments from $25M to $300M. Its private credit team directly finances sponsor-owned companies with first-lien, unitranche, second-lien, holding-company PIK, preferred equity and minority equity instruments. It also provides minority funding to companies, such as acquisition financing, and invests in listed companies through PIPE deals (private investments in public equity). Its Technology Investment Group handles most of our early stage investments, through venture capital funds, co-investments, and direct investments, and its Sustainability Solutions Group invests in climate technologies. The department invests mostly in North America and Europe, with a meaningful presence in emerging markets, across technology, consumer, healthcare, financial services, industrials and sustainability. It targets businesses with competitive advantages, attractive growth and strong free cash flow. GIC Private Equity draws on GIC’s long investment horizon, global presence and sector expertise to find investments that pay off over longer holding periods and through operational improvements. It supports the boards and management of the companies it invests in with advice and access to GIC’s global network. GIC was founded in 1981 and is headquartered in Singapore.
