The Institution Builder
On the morning of 8 July 2026 — three days before this profile went live — Dilhan Pillay Sandrasegara stood before the media in Singapore and delivered the numbers that will define his tenure. Temasek's net portfolio value had reached S$518 billion, a record for the second consecutive year, on the firm's first fully mark-to-market accounting of its unlisted assets. One-year total shareholder return: 10.5 per cent in Singapore dollars, 14.8 per cent in US dollars. Over the decade, the portfolio had doubled. And yet the man presenting the strongest results in the institution's history spent much of his address talking about how dangerous the world had become. "We're not simply in a VUCA world," he told the room, "we are in a polycrisis world." The environment, he said, is "the most complex that we have seen in five decades."
That pairing — record performance delivered in the language of vigilance — is the signature of the man. Dilhan Pillay is not a trader, not an economist, not a lifer of the fund-management guild. He is a fourth-generation lawyer who spent nearly twenty years building one of Singapore's great law firms before Ho Ching, the most consequential investor in Singapore's history, spent three years of weekend meetings persuading him to give it up. He joined Temasek in 2010, climbed through every major seat in the house, and on 1 October 2021 became the first — and so far only — person ever to succeed her as Chief Executive Officer of Temasek Holdings.
What he has done with the job is instructive for every allocator on earth. He has absorbed a public, painful write-off and turned it into the cleanest accountability precedent in sovereign investing. He has re-weighted one of Asia's most-watched portfolios through a rate shock, a China drawdown and an AI supercycle. He has set an explicit target — up to 15 per cent of the portfolio in AI-focused investments by 2031 — that ranks among the boldest thematic commitments any state investor has made. And, most tellingly, he has spent his years at the peak re-architecting the institution itself so that it will not need him: the "OneTemasek" restructuring that took effect on 1 April 2026 is succession planning conducted in public, by a sitting CEO, at the height of his results. Empire-builders concentrate power. Institution-builders distribute it. Pillay is the second kind.
Four Generations of Law
Dilhan Pillay Sandrasegara was born in 1963 in Singapore, into a family whose roots reach back to Sri Lanka and whose professional identity was fixed long before he arrived: he is a fourth-generation lawyer, and both of his parents practised law. He spent his early childhood in Kuala Lumpur and has lived most of his life in Singapore — a biography that traces, in one family's movements, the arc of the region his portfolio now spans. He was educated at the Anglo-Chinese School in Singapore, took his law degree at the National University of Singapore in 1988, and added a Master of Laws from the University of Cambridge in 1990.
The Singaporean-ness of this story matters more than it might elsewhere. In 2021, when his appointment to lead Temasek was announced, online rumour briefly suggested the firm had hired a foreigner; the fact-checkers at Black Dot Research established what anyone in Singapore's legal establishment already knew — that Pillay is a Singaporean citizen whose entire career has been an exercise in building Singaporean institutions. The confusion, such as it was, dissolved on contact with the record.
Law, in his family, was less a profession than an inheritance — and it shows in how he invests. The habits of the M&A lawyer — the insistence on process, the allergy to unexamined assumptions, the belief that the document you sign matters less than the counterparty you sign it with — run through every institutional decision he has made since. Temasek under Pillay is a firm in which, as he puts it, partners "know what we can offer beyond just our capital." That is a lawyer's sentence: relationships as the durable asset, capital as merely the consideration.
The Firm He Built First
Before Pillay ran one of the world's most influential investment institutions, he built a law firm. In 1992, at twenty-nine, he was one of the founding lawyers — alongside Wong Meng Meng and nine others — of what became WongPartnership, today one of Singapore's largest and most decorated law firms. He practised as a mergers-and-acquisitions lawyer, in the engine room of corporate Singapore, focusing on M&A, corporate governance and corporate law. When Wong Meng Meng retired from the managing partnership in 2007, Pillay took over as Managing Partner. He spent nearly two decades at the firm; his younger brother, Manoj Pillay Sandrasegara, practised there too.
Temasek's own institutional memory of that era is captured in the words of its chairman, Lim Boon Heng, on the day Pillay's succession was announced in February 2021: he "brought with him a wealth of experience, a rich network across the region, a keen sense of markets and commercial discipline, and above all, a commitment to build and transform people and organisations for the longer term, as well as to embed culture and values for a greater purpose."
Note the emphasis. Not deals closed, not fees billed — organisations built, culture embedded. It reads today like a job description written nine years early. Two decades of sitting across the table from every kind of counterparty — founders, families, boards, governments — gave Pillay something most career allocators never acquire: a working map of how enterprises actually behave under stress, drawn from the inside of the transactions that made and unmade them.
Three Years of Weekends
The story of how Pillay came to Temasek is the best character reference in the file, and it is entirely on the record. Ho Ching — Temasek's chief executive since 2004, the woman who transformed a domestic holding company into a global investor — decided she wanted him, and pursued him for three years, meeting regularly, usually on weekends. He resisted. He was running one of Singapore's premier law firms; he had, by any measure, already built a career most lawyers would retire on.
"Ho Ching is a very persuasive person," Pillay told Reuters in 2012, in the dry register that is his public trademark. "She managed to persuade me, where others could not, to make a big change." The end came quickly once it came: after a lunch at the Four Seasons Hotel in May 2010, he decided over a single weekend to join. The deliberative lawyer, three years in the courting, committed in forty-eight hours once the logic closed. It is a decision-making pattern his colleagues would come to know well — patience that looks like reluctance, followed by speed that looks like impulse, with conviction doing the work in both phases.
He arrived at Temasek in September 2010, aged forty-seven — old enough that no one could mistake him for a management trainee, young enough to have a full second career ahead of him. What followed was a decade-long apprenticeship in every wing of the house.
The Climb
Temasek did not fast-track Pillay so much as rotate him through the institution's entire anatomy. Over eleven years he served as Head of the Investment Group, Head of Portfolio Management, and Head of the Enterprise Development Group — the unit he built to create, in the firm's words, new longer-term growth engines from early-stage and innovative opportunities. He led the market teams for Singapore, the Americas and Europe, including a two-year posting as Head, Americas, based in New York — a tour that would later shape his conviction that the United States must be Temasek's largest investment destination outside the home base.
In April 2019 he became Chief Executive Officer of Temasek International — the commercial and investment arm through which the global portfolio is run. It was the last rung. On 9 February 2021, the Board announced that Pillay would succeed Ho Ching as Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of Temasek Holdings, effective 1 October 2021.
The scale of the act of succession is hard to overstate. Ho Ching had run Temasek for seventeen years; on her watch, net portfolio value more than tripled from S$90 billion to over S$300 billion, and the firm's identity — bold, concentrated, early into China, unafraid of direct positions — was substantially her own. "Bold, early decisions, such as investing in an opening China, and taking concentrated positions in growth companies, created a path, rather than followed one worn by others," Pillay said of her at the editors' briefing announcing the transition. "All of us at Temasek owe her a debt of thanks for her vision, her passion and her determination."
Her endorsement of him was equally unhedged: "I know Dilhan will take Temasek to the next level. He brings solid values, a decade of experience in the firm, on top of a wealth of experience prior to joining Temasek. More importantly, he has also brought fresh ideas that are essential to sustaining any organisation. I have full confidence in Dilhan and his team to transform Temasek once again, to be more than it is today."
Chairman Lim Boon Heng framed the mandate in constitutional terms — a reminder that this job is not merely a large asset-management appointment. "The Board is confident that Dilhan is the right candidate to succeed Ho Ching, to oversee the stewardship role of Temasek, and in particular our Constitutional responsibilities as a Fifth Schedule entity to safeguard our own past reserves." Temasek is one of the entities specified in Singapore's constitution whose past reserves are protected by the elected presidency; its CEO is, in a real sense, an officer of the country's intergenerational balance sheet. Pillay's acceptance was characteristically spare: "I thank the Board for its confidence in me and our senior management team. I am especially grateful to Ho Ching and Theng Kiat for laying down a strong foundation for Temasek as it navigates a world of continuous change, increasing complexity and ambiguity."
What Temasek Is — and What It Is Not
Temasek is routinely mislabelled, so it is worth being precise. It is not Singapore's sovereign wealth fund in the conventional sense — that description belongs more nearly to GIC, which manages the government's foreign reserves and discloses no figure for them. Temasek is an investment company, incorporated in 1974, that owns its assets outright, publishes an audited annual review, pays taxes, issues bonds, and holds a credit rating. Its sole shareholder is the Singapore Ministry of Finance, but it operates independently, and its portfolio is disclosed to a level of detail no comparable state-linked investor matches. If GIC's institutional virtue is silence, Temasek's is legibility.
The portfolio Pillay commands is a study in engineered balance. As of the 2026 Review, 52 per cent of it is Singapore-headquartered companies — yet 73 per cent of the underlying exposure is outside Singapore, and the United States is the largest single investment destination. It is roughly half listed and half unlisted, and deliberately so: "liquidity gives us the flexibility to rebalance and deploy capital in a world of more frequent shocks," Pillay told the 2026 briefing. The structure runs on what the firm describes as a 40-40-20 model across its three segments: global direct investments; the Singapore-based Temasek Portfolio Companies; and partnerships, funds and asset-management companies.
The Singapore anchor is not sentiment — it is the largest cash engine in the house. The Temasek Portfolio Companies — DBS, Singapore Airlines, Singtel, PSA, CapitaLand, Sembcorp, ST Engineering, SP Group, Mapletree — generate roughly S$200 billion in aggregate revenue and employ more than 160,000 people in Singapore. In the 2026 results it was precisely these listed Singapore stalwarts, together with realised gains from key divestments, that drove the record year. Pillay's Temasek is often described as a technology investor; it is more accurately a compounding machine built on national infrastructure, with a technology thesis layered on top.
The Numbers of His Tenure
Pillay took the keys at a record: S$381 billion in net portfolio value as at 31 March 2021, after a 24.5 per cent bounce-back year that was Ho Ching's valediction. His own first years were a stress test. The portfolio rose to S$403 billion in 2022, then fell to S$382 billion in 2023 — a one-year total shareholder return of minus 5.07 per cent, the worst since 2016, as the global rate shock repriced growth assets and China, long Temasek's boldest overweight, sold off hard. "It's probably the most trying time to a long-term investor," he told Pensions & Investments — a sentence that, from a man this understated, reads like a klaxon.
What happened next is the case for the defence. S$389 billion in 2024, with gains from the United States and India offsetting China's underperformance. A record S$434 billion in 2025 — up S$45 billion in a single year. And then the 2026 Review, published on 8 July 2026: S$518 billion, a second consecutive record, on the firm's first fully mark-to-market valuation of the entire portfolio, up S$49 billion against the restated prior year. One-year total shareholder return of 10.5 per cent in Singapore dollars — 12.9 per cent in constant currency and 14.8 per cent in US dollars, the gap a measure of the Singapore dollar's strength, which Pillay noted cost the headline figure roughly two percentage points. Ten-year TSR now stands at 7.1 per cent and twenty-year at 6.8 per cent on the mark-to-market basis. Middle East events, he added, had shaved a further ~2 per cent from what the portfolio value would otherwise have been.
His own framing of the five years is characteristically causal rather than celebratory: "Since we started making these shifts, we have added about S$100 billion in portfolio value." The shifts, not the market, get the credit — and the discipline gets the caveat: "But for performance to remain resilient going forward, the most important factor is to build a quality portfolio, one that can bounce back from shocks. And we should expect these shocks to continue."
The FTX Winter — and the Price Leadership Paid
No honest account of Pillay's tenure can route around November 2022, and Temasek, to its lasting credit, never tried to. Between October 2021 and January 2022 — the very first months of his CEOship — Temasek invested US$275 million in FTX: US$210 million for a stake of about 1 per cent in FTX International, and US$65 million for about 1.5 per cent of FTX US. When Sam Bankman-Fried's exchange collapsed in November 2022, Temasek wrote the entire position down to zero, and said so publicly within days.
The firm's statement remains a model of how a fiduciary should speak after a loss. It quantified the damage precisely — 0.09 per cent of the S$403 billion portfolio. It disclosed the process: some eight months of due diligence, including audited financials that showed a profitable exchange. And it delivered a sentence of unusual institutional candour: "it is apparent from this investment that perhaps our belief in the actions, judgment and leadership of Sam Bankman-Fried, formed from our interactions with him and views expressed in our discussions with others, would appear to have been misplaced." Singapore's Ministry of Finance published its own statement on the exposure; the loss was debated openly in a country that regards its reserves as sacred.
Then came the part that made the episode a precedent rather than a scandal. Temasek commissioned an internal review by an independent team, reporting to the Board Risk & Sustainability Committee and the Board. The review found no misconduct by the investment team. And yet, as Chairman Lim Boon Heng announced in May 2023, "the investment team and senior management, who are ultimately responsible for investment decisions made, took collective accountability and had their compensation reduced." No misconduct — and the leadership tier, Pillay's included, docked its own pay anyway. "We are disappointed with the outcome of our investment, and the negative impact on our reputation," the chairman said, and left it there.
Consider how rare that sequence is in sovereign investing: full disclosure within days, independent review, quantified context, voluntary compensation cuts at the top absent any finding of wrongdoing — followed, three years later, by back-to-back record portfolio values. Most institutions manage losses; very few metabolise them. The FTX write-off cost Temasek 0.09 per cent of its portfolio and bought it, at that price, the strongest accountability precedent in the asset-owner world.
Signature Moves
Pillay's strategic authorship at Temasek begins before his CEOship formally did. In February 2021, as CEO-designate, he unveiled the T2030 strategy — the decade roadmap built on four pillars: evolving the portfolio; putting, in his words, "sustainability at the core of all we do"; building capabilities such as artificial intelligence and blockchain across the portfolio companies; and developing talent. Nearly everything he has done since is traceable to that document.
The franchise-building came fast. In October 2021, weeks into the job, Temasek launched 65 Equity Partners, a wholly-owned private-equity firm with S$4.5 billion in funds under management, writing US$100–200 million tickets to back founders and family businesses across Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States. In June 2022 came GenZero, a wholly-owned decarbonisation investment platform with an initial S$5 billion commitment, spanning technology-based solutions, nature-based solutions and carbon-ecosystem enablers; Temasek is also a founding partner of the Brookfield Global Transition Fund, the flagship net-zero transition vehicle. The firm's asset-management platform, Seviora Holdings — whose companies managed more than S$90 billion as at March 2025 — rounds out a constellation of purpose-built vehicles that extend Temasek's reach beyond its own balance sheet. The footprint grew to match: thirteen offices in nine countries, including New York, San Francisco, Washington DC, Paris, Brussels, London and Mexico City.
The portfolio surgery was just as deliberate. Temasek cut China from 26 per cent of the portfolio in 2011 to 22 per cent by 2023 while the Americas and EMEA rose from 11 per cent to 33 per cent — a rebalancing conducted, on Pillay's telling, without illusions about the cost. "I don't think the word 'resilience' and 'security' is ever associated with low costs," he said of de-risking in 2023, dismissing the distinction between decoupling and de-risking as "just semantics, in some respects." "It's an insurance policy — you pay a premium." India, meanwhile, "has done very well for us," and the 2024 results leaned explicitly on American and Indian gains.
Since 2023 he has also rebuilt the firm's public-markets muscle — dedicated stock-selection and liquid-strategies teams — on a thesis he laid out at Bloomberg Invest in New York in March 2026: "We decided we should maintain a certain level of liquidity in our portfolio because we do think there's a premium in being liquid today." The private-markets corollary was equally blunt: "In the previous decade, time to monetisation went to five years, then eight years. Today you're looking at even a decade. The question for us is whether you will get the illiquidity premium in a higher interest rate environment." For a firm whose reputation was built on patient private capital, publicly querying the illiquidity premium is quiet heresy — and exactly the kind allocation committees everywhere should sit with.
The AI Doctrine
If the 2026 Review is remembered for one thing, it will be the target: by 31 March 2031, up to 15 per cent of Temasek's portfolio in AI-focused investments, up from roughly 6 per cent today — alongside up to 5 per cent in core-plus infrastructure and up to 5 per cent in private credit. On a S$518 billion base, the AI commitment alone implies one of the largest thematic allocations any state-linked investor has ever declared. The firm confirmed stakes in OpenAI and Anthropic, and its capital is deployed across the full stack Pillay describes: energy and data centres, semiconductors, cloud, foundation models and AI applications. The advance of AI, he said, is "a pivotal phase that will create vast new opportunities."
Even the China book has been redrawn around the thesis. After years of reduction, Temasek's China exposure grew by about S$10 billion — US$7.7 billion — in the 2026 financial year, the biggest rise in five years, an AI-driven pivot back into a market the firm had spent a decade trimming. The lesson for allocators is not "buy China" or "buy AI"; it is that Pillay treats country weights as servants of the thesis, not the other way around.
Internally, the doctrine has four declared pillars — AI-enabling Temasek itself; AI-proofing the existing portfolio; AI-scaling the portfolio companies; and AI diffusion, including immersion programmes that send portfolio-company leaders through Silicon Valley, Shanghai and Hangzhou. And Pillay has been unusually direct about the human question that hangs over all of it. "AI replaces tasks — it does not necessarily replace jobs," he told the 2026 briefing. "It is not right to say that there is no role for entry-level talent or young graduates in this new world with AI. The world is ripe for them. This is an exciting time — one they should embrace with positivity. We just have to enable it." Temasek employs about a thousand people; its portfolio companies employ roughly 400,000. "We must focus on skilling, reskilling, and upskilling our workforce," he said. "We want to empower our people to harness AI, not be replaced by it."
OneTemasek: Building His Own Succession
The most revealing decision of Pillay's tenure has nothing to do with any single investment. On 28 August 2025, Temasek announced its first major reorganisation since 2011: from 1 April 2026, the portfolio sits in three wholly-owned operating entities — Temasek Global Investments, Temasek Singapore, and Temasek Partnership Solutions — mirroring the three portfolio segments and their rough 40-40-20 weighting. Chia Song Hwee, the firm's long-serving deputy, became Co-CEO of Temasek International in October 2025 and now leads Temasek Global Investments; Nagi Hamiyeh and Png Chin Yee preside over TGI and Temasek Singapore respectively. Pillay, from 1 April 2026, is concurrently Chairman of all four entities — while remaining Executive Director and CEO of Temasek Holdings. Channel NewsAsia's read was unambiguous: a reshuffle designed "to 'test the next generation' of leaders."
Temasek describes the restructuring as the next step in the T2030 strategy; Pillay's own explanation is an operator's, not a courtier's: "Each segment requires distinct Strategies, Outcomes and Skill sets… Our refreshed structure sharpens our focus and strengthens accountability." And the institutional philosophy underneath it is the closest thing he has offered to a personal creed: "Temasek must stay agile to sense the pathways ahead and what could possibly be around the corner, adapt to the emerging realities, and perform with resilience in an ever-changing landscape."
Read plainly: a CEO at the peak of his results has spent his political capital building the structure that will one day replace him, and has installed his potential successors in charge of real balance sheets, in public, while he still holds the accountability. No successor to the Temasek Holdings CEOship has been announced, and Pillay remains emphatically in the chair — he delivered the 2026 CEO Address himself, three days before this profile published. But when the transition comes, it will arrive as the final module of an architecture he designed. Ho Ching spent three years recruiting him; he has spent his tenure ensuring the next handover will not require three years of weekends.
The Man and the Method
Pillay's public persona is the inverse of the sovereign-fund stereotype. There is no cult of the oracle, no taste for market calls delivered from conference stages. His speeches quote Lee Kuan Yew — "We have to live with the world as it is, not as we wish it would be, as Mr Lee Kuan Yew once said" — and return, year after year, to the same triad of verbs: sense, adapt, perform. When Norges Bank Investment Management's Nicolai Tangen — subject of the first profile in this series — hosted him on the "In Good Company" podcast in 2025, the conversation was billed around a leadership philosophy "built on integrity and trust" and Temasek's relationship-focused investing. Scale, in Pillay's telling, is not even the point: "We are not among the largest capital providers globally. But we get more than our fair share of opportunities, because our partners know what we can offer beyond just our capital."
The public-service ledger runs in parallel: board seats at Singapore's National Research Foundation and Enterprise Singapore; a place on the Future Economy Advisory Panel chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat; the Council of the President's Challenge; the chairmanship of Seviora and, prospectively, of Vertex Venture Holdings, Temasek's venture arm. Earlier chapters took in trusteeship of Singapore Management University, the board of the corporate regulator ACRA, the committee that corporatised Changi Airport, and directorships from Sentosa to SMRT. He is married to Chan Su Chan; the family trade, four generations deep, continues.
And the purpose question — why any of this matters beyond the compounding — gets the most Singaporean answer imaginable, delivered at the 2026 Review: "We do well so that we can also do good." It is not a slogan grafted on. Since 2003, Temasek has committed a share of returns above its risk-adjusted cost of capital to community programmes through what became the Temasek Trust ecosystem — "our primary community stewardship arm," as Pillay calls it — which the firm says has touched about five million lives in Singapore and beyond. Ecosperity Week, the firm's sustainability platform, opens with his remarks each year, and the 2050 net-zero ambition survived the ESG backlash intact, with a lawyer's caveat attached: "the path is not linear."
What the Allocator Class Can Learn
First: the best allocators are not always trained as allocators. Pillay's edge is a transactional lawyer's edge — counterparty judgment, governance instinct, and the habit of reading enterprises from their documents up. Institutions that hire only from the fund-management monoculture should notice what Temasek got by going outside it.
Second: accountability is an asset class of its own. The FTX sequence — disclose fast, quantify honestly, review independently, cut your own pay without a misconduct finding — cost little and compounded into institutional credibility precisely when markets turned. Every investment committee should war-game its own version before it needs one.
Third: liquidity is a strategy, not a residual. A firm famous for patient private capital now holds half its portfolio in listed assets on purpose, and its CEO openly questions whether the illiquidity premium survives a higher-rate world. Universal owners loading ever more into privates should at least be able to answer his question.
Fourth: themes should discipline geography, not the reverse. Temasek cut China for risk reasons and returned for AI reasons; the country weight followed the thesis in both directions.
Fifth: the last act of institutional leadership is designing your own succession. The OneTemasek structure — successors tested on live portfolios while the incumbent chairs the whole — is what it looks like when a CEO treats the institution, not the tenure, as the asset.

What to Watch
Watch the AI glide path: 6 per cent to as much as 15 per cent of a half-trillion-dollar portfolio by 2031 is a deployment problem few institutions have ever attempted, and the discipline of the pacing will matter more than the headline. Watch the China re-entry — S$10 billion added in a single year after a decade of trimming — for whether the AI thesis survives the geopolitics. Watch private credit and core-plus infrastructure, the two new 5 per cent sleeves, as the quiet counterweights to the AI risk. And watch the succession architecture: no successor as Temasek Holdings CEO has been named, but the OneTemasek entities now give the board a live, measurable bench. When the announcement eventually comes, it will be the most telegraphed transition in sovereign investing — which is, one suspects, exactly how the lawyer who designed it wants it.
