Temasek CIO Rohit Sipahimalani and Bridgewater Co-CIO Bob Prince on Building a Resilient Equity Portfolio

September 25, 2024
Portfolio resiliency, or the ability of a portfolio to withstand multiple different environments with relatively consistent performance, is a goal that most investors would like to achieve. But what does portfolio resiliency really mean for investors who focus primarily on equities, whether that be public or private companies? And is it possible to construct an equity portfolio that is diversified enough to be resilient, particularly during bear markets?

To discuss these topics and more, Head of Client Service and Daily Observations editor Jim Haskel recently sat down in Singapore with Rohit Sipahimalani, CIO of Temasek Holdings, and our own co-CIO Bob Prince. Temasek is a global investment firm based in Singapore and a client of Bridgewater’s. In the conversation, Rohit gives an overview of Temasek and its approach to portfolio resiliency, including how he incorporates different forms of diversification in his process, and Bob shares his own perspective, with a focus on engineering resilient equity portfolios. They conclude by discussing the opportunities they see today in the global investment landscape.
