The plant will create hundreds of jobs in the local community,\" he said.\n\"Another firm is working with school districts across the US to electrify school transportation. It recently announced the first 100 per cent electric school bus fleet in the US in Oakland, California.\"\nWEATHERED STORMS\nMr Lee also reflected on how GIC has \"stayed invested in the US through thick and thin\".\n\"GIC's decades of investing in US markets have not always been smooth sailing,\" he said.\n\"We weathered many peaks and troughs, and stayed invested in rough times.\n\"We grew together during the booms, and remained a steadfast and responsible investor during more trying and volatile periods.\"\nMr Lee recalled the \"Black Monday\" stock market crash of Oct 19, 1987, the dot-com bubble cycle, the 2008 global financial crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic as examples of storms that GIC has weathered during its four decades in the US.\nGIC has been able to do this because it is able to take a long-term view, he said.\n\"We know that markets go through cycles – that is an unavoidable reality, which we must accept and ride through with some equanimity, if we are to maximise long-term returns,\" he added\n\"This is a very different mindset from other market players, many of whom have shorter time horizons. They too, aim to invest in something promising, but with a clear exit strategy defined upfront, to liquidate and distribute the profits by a target sunset date.\"\nFor GIC, however, there is \"no predetermined end date\".\n\"We can hunker down and stay invested through boom-and-bust cycles, because GIC’s investment horizon is not measured in just years or even decades, but by fundamentals and intrinsic value,\" he said.\n\"This ability to hold is a great source of strength – not just for GIC itself, but also for the portfolio companies that it invests in.\n\"Of course, there will be times when investments turn sour, but we take it in our stride. GIC, and importantly its client, understands that there is no upside without risk.\"\nMr Lee then referenced the book Dow at 36,000, which was published in 1999, noting how GIC had been in the US well before then and continues to be invested with the Dow Jones Industrial Average now near the 44,000 mark.\n\"We have stayed here in the US throughout 40 very successful years of partnership, whether the market moved up, down, or sideways,\" he said.\n\"We have greatly benefited from the power of long-term compounding,\" he added.\n\"So I am confident that GIC will continue to be a patient investor in the US for a long time to come.\"","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.29.3","shortVersion":"4.29.3","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2483287439"}
