Galilee Investment Management
Message from Chief Executive Officer
Mr. Joseph Ong,
CEO
Dear Investors,
As we pass the first quarter of the year, I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation for the continued support and partnership of all our stakeholders.
The start of 2026 has been shaped by a series of global developments across political, economic, and social landscapes. Ongoing geopolitical tensions, regional conflicts, and shifting policy directions in major economies have continued to influence sentiment and create uncertainty across global markets and industries. These developments have had broad ripple effects across trade, supply chains, energy dynamics, and business confidence worldwide.
While such external factors remain beyond our control, we remain focused on maintaining a disciplined and forward-looking approach. We continue to closely monitor the global environment and place strong emphasis on robust due diligence, both in managing our existing investments and in evaluating new opportunities.
Detailed performance insights will be shared by each team in their respective fund updates.
We are also pleased to share that our new VCC partnerships and sub-fund launches are progressing well, and we are on track for their anticipated launch in the second quarter of this year.
