De Rui Wong

De Rui Wong is Senior Vice President with the Sustainability Office of GIC. He leads research on sustainability-related themes such as climate change, natural capital, and inequality that will have material impact on GIC’s investment portfolio. These issues are often overlooked by investors because they may take long to manifest and their impact is difficult to quantity.

He also chairs the Paris-Aligned Investing working group in the Asia Investor Group on Climate Change (AIGCC) which seeks to share and advance emerging investor solutions for facilitating the transition to a net zero emissions economy. De Rui speaks at investor conferences and in universities where he provides a practitioner’s perspective on integrating sustainability considerations into investment processes and strategies.

Prior to his current role, De Rui was a macro strategist in GIC covering Japan and the oil market. He was also an equity analyst in GIC and Pacific Alliance Group covering sectors such as hardware technology, telecoms, energy, autos and education in the Asian markets.
