CDPQ, OTPP, and BCI (Canada) in North America; ISIF (Ireland) in Europe; PIF (Saudi Arabia) in the Middle East; NSIA (Nigeria) in Africa; Temasek (Singapore) in Asia; and REST (Australia), and NZ Super (New Zealand) in Oceania achieve a perfect score on Governance, Sustainability and Resilience issues.

NEW YORK & SINGAPORE, July 1 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Today, Global SWF has published the sixth edition of its GSR (Governance, Sustainability, and Resilience) Scoreboard, which has become the measuring stick of best practices among State-Owned Investors around the world. The report is available on www.globalswf.com/reports/2025gsr.

The annual exercise analyzes the world’s 200 largest Sovereign Wealth Funds and Public Pension Funds, which manage US$ 29.4 trillion on behalf of 80 countries. The assessment is based on 25 different elements that are answered binarily based on public information only, and that this year led to the following results:

· The average GSR score of all funds stayed flat at 61%. Sustainability scores continue to rise, but the average Governance score slightly dropped due to transparency issues.
· Geopolitics and trade tensions are taking over from sustainability as key concerns of the C-suite at Sovereign Investors, some of which are turning more domestic, isolated, and opaque.
· Seven new institutions committed to net zero goals by certain timeline in the past 12 months – however, only 35% of the 200 Sovereign Investors are pursuing such targets.
· Regions showing best practices (North America, Europe and Oceania) continued to do better, while regions failing the GSR test (Latam, Middle East, Africa, and Asia) scored worse than last year.

Dilhan Pillay Sandrasegara, Executive Director and CEO of Temasek Holdings, commented: “We are honoured to receive this recognition as one of the top-scoring investors for the third year running. Global SWF’s independent assessment to address key areas such as transparency and accountability, impact and responsible investing, and long-term survival is aligned to Temasek’s focus on governance, sustainability and resilience. As stewards of our assets, Temasek will continue to focus on good governance practices and strengthen the resilience of our portfolio amidst the tumultuous uncertainties, geopolitics and trade tensions. We are encouraged by the consistent efforts of the Global SWF to encourage the sharing of best practices amongst our global peers, as we endeavour to contribute towards a more sustainable and resilient world for this and future generations.”

Gordon J. Fyfe, CEO and CIO of BCI, stated: “For 25 years, strong governance and responsible investing practices have underpinned BCI's approach – enabling us to deliver for our clients and create enduring value in British Columbia and beyond. Earning this recognition for a second consecutive year reflects our continued commitment to excellence and accountability, and we're proud to stand alongside a growing list of industry leaders.”

Jo Townsend, CEO of the Guardians of New Zealand Superannuation, added: “The GSR scoreboard is based on a rigorous and comprehensive evaluation of factors that we believe are crucial to our long-term success. We regard it as an important benchmark, and I am very pleased to see the team’s hard work recognized by Global SWF.”

Aminu Umar‑Sadiq, Managing Director & CEO of NSIA, said: “NSIA has consistently navigated several cycles of global economic uncertainties, volatile markets, and geopolitical complexities. The Authority has embraced a proactive approach to resilience by diversifying its asset allocation, incorporating a systemic risk mitigation strategy, and rolling out a successful domestic program cutting across a plethora of sectors.”

Diego López, Founder and Managing Director of Global SWF, concluded: “We are strongly committed to contributing to the advancement of the industry with our GSR Scoreboard, which is the only annual and independent evaluation of best practices among State-Owned Investors. The nine perfect scorers of 2025 demonstrate that SOIs can excel and drive positive change in a variety of regions and frameworks.”

The report will be officially presented in an in-person event in Singapore, on Tuesday, July 8. Parties interested in attending can contact the representatives of Global SWF for further details.
