In a Facebook post on Saturday , Mdm Ho described Temasek’s full write down of its US$275 million investment in FTX as one borne of a clear decision, but that was still a painful loss to bear.
Following the firm’s move, Temasek said it would write down its investments in the company, which had been one of the largest crypto exchanges in the world, with a high trading volume and also counted institutional investors such as venture capital firm Sequoia Capital. In her post, Mdm Ho said that some of Temasek’s best investments were made by being contrarian. She said that Temasek could afford to do so as it has its own balance sheet and can plan for investments long term.
Mdm Ho then called on everyone to “keep calm” on the losses while Temasek continues to “tend to the fields and fry other fishes”, in reference to other investments made by the sovereign wealth fund. Mdm Ho’s comments on Facebook came more than a week after Temasek’s statement on its investments in FTX.on Nov 17, Temasek said that its “thesis” for its investment in FTX was to “invest in a leading digital asset exchange providing us with protocol agnostic and market neutral exposure to crypto markets with a fee income model and no trading or balance sheet risk”.
Remember Micropolis? She had years of practice. FTX is nothing. B.A.U.
