Our approach

Impact-first discipline built for long-term value creation.

Our investment approach combines thematic focus, rigorous impact diligence and active portfolio engagement. Guided by the ABC Framework for an Active Economy, a Beautiful Society and a Clean Earth, we seek businesses that can deliver measurable outcomes alongside resilient growth.

ABC philosophy

An Active Economy, a Beautiful Society and a Clean Earth.

The fund’s investment strategy is aligned with Temasek’s ABC Framework for an Active Economy, a Beautiful Society and a Clean Earth, which builds on the ideals of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. This philosophy guides how we evaluate risk, growth, resilience and real-world outcomes across each opportunity.

We focus on businesses that can scale responsibly, widen access to essential goods and services, and improve environmental and social outcomes in Asian markets where the need and opportunity are both significant.

Impact measurement

Evidence-based research and SDG-aligned metrics.

This means defining material impact pathways, tracking operating indicators and reviewing outcomes in a disciplined manner throughout the investment lifecycle.

Our approach to impact management is designed to support transparency, comparability and accountability, so that measurable impact sits alongside financial performance as a core decision criterion.
