18 OUR PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS

An Alignment with Shareholder ValueWe track Wealth Added (WA) as a key performance indicator. Our group WA for the year was S$15

billion, with S$6 billion from direct investment activities.

The key benefit of using WA as a performance indicator is that it takes into account the risk-adjusted

return, called the capital charge, that an investor would expect. It factors in the capital employed to

achieve the returns, and the risk associated with each investment.

To earn positive WA for our shareholder, Temasek must deliver a return that is higher than its capital

charge. The return calculation for Temasek also explicitly takes into account any change in the

perpetuity value of the current costs of operating Temasek.

Calculating Wealth Added

The total return to a shareholder is calculated as the change in the market value of the investments (or the change inbook value in the case of unlisted assets), plus dividends to the shareholder, adjusted for any net new capital from the

shareholder. In the case of Temasek, the total return to our shareholder is further adjusted for any change in the perpetuityvalue of the costs of operating Temasek, i.e. the change in the present value of a recurring stream of the current costsof operating Temasek.

The capital charge or minimum required return for the shareholder is defined as a risk-adjusted cost of capital returnon the market value of his portfolio at the start of the year.

The Wealth Added for the shareholder is his total return less the capital charge.

Example:

Consider a listed investment that has a market value of $1,000 at the start of the year, which then rises to $1,200 atthe end of the year. The investment pays dividends of $50 during the year, and issues $120 of new equity during theyear. Assume the cost of capital is 10%, giving a capital charge of $100, or 10% x $1,000 on the starting market value.

The wealth added created by this investment for its shareholder is therefore = (1,200 - 1,000) + 50 - 120 - (10% x1,000) = $30.
