GIC's AI-Powered Dealmaking

Singapore's sovereign wealth fund, GIC Pte, is deploying AI tools to scrutinise investment proposals. A 'Virtual Investment Committee' and an 'Agentic Devil’s Advocate' chatbot will dissect pitches from bankers. These AI systems are designed to challenge assumptions and unearth contrarian insights, ensuring thorough assessment of potential deals.

GIC established an AI Council in 2023 to boost operational efficiency and improve investment decisions. The fund is using its data to create AI prototypes that facilitate robust discussions and enhance decision-making. GIC aims to identify opportunities within broader themes like AI and climate, enabling targeted investments in areas such as AI adoption.

By integrating AI, GIC seeks to maintain long-term value, price discipline and diversification across multiple dimensions to build a resilient and flexible portfolio. The AI tools will help GIC to navigate foundational shifts in the global order and rewrite the rules of global investing.
