Singapore's Temasek Holdings said it cut compensation for the team that recommended investing in the now-bankrupt FTX cryptocurrency exchange and for senior management, as they take "collective accountability" for the failed investment.

The move comes around six months after Temasek initiated an internal review of its investment in FTX, which resulted in a writedown of $275 million (S$372 million).

"Although there was no misconduct by the investment team in reaching their investment recommendation, the investment team and senior management, who are ultimately responsible for investment decisions made, took collective accountability and had their compensation reduced," Temasek Chairman Lim Boon Heng said in a statement posted on Temasek's website.

"The cut in investment team compensation was a step in the right direction, yet it remains to be seen if it will be enough to restore confidence," Kapron added.
