GIC Pte, manager of more than $100 billion of Singapore’s reserves, is “underinvested” in property and is interested in transactions of scale, said GIC Real Estate President Goh Kok Huat.

GIC has about 7 percent of assets in real estate, while it can invest 9 percent to 13 percent, Goh said Wednesday at a conference in Singapore. Given its size, GIC is focusing on larger, deeper markets and “gateway cities,” he said.
