Singapore state investor, Temasek, is set to keep 25% of its portfolio in liquid assets to effectively navigate economic shocks and adapt to evolving trends such as artificial intelligence, according to its Chief Investment Officer, Rohit Sipahimalani.

Temasek, which recently reported a record net portfolio value of S$518 billion, plans to increase its AI investment to 15% over the next five years. The firm is also enhancing its exposure to infrastructure and commodities to minimize disruption from AI advancements.
