Singapore's GIC Insights 2025 wrapped up last week, bringing together some sharp minds in global finance. The sovereign wealth fund's annual gathering dove deep into market cycles and allocation strategies for the year ahead. What caught attention wasn't just the macro outlook discussions, but the caliber of voices on their Advisory Board and Strategies Committee—folks who've navigated multiple economic downturns and know when conventional wisdom needs challenging. These closed-door sessions at GIC tend to surface ideas months before they hit mainstream financial media. Worth watching how their positioning evolves as monetary policy shifts globally.
