As private market allocations continue to grow, institutional investors face increasing complexity across portfolio construction, risk measurement and governance. Valuation uncertainty, liquidity dynamics and climate-related physical risk could reshape how risk is understood across the total portfolio.
MSCI Portfolio Perspectives Amsterdam brings together industry leaders to discuss the evolution of portfolio construction across asset classes and the shifting nature of investment risk. The event will explore how index innovation, private asset data and analytics and physical risk assessment can support more transparent and resilient investment decision-making.

Agenda
10:00 am ・ Registration and Networking
10:30 am ・ Structural risk and the evolution of the total portfolio
As institutional portfolios expand across public and private markets, traditional asset-class boundaries provide less clarity around underlying exposures. Long-duration assets, geographic concentration, illiquidity and interconnected global risks require a broader analytical framework.
This keynote explores how investors can move beyond asset-class silos toward a total portfolio perspective that captures structural risks, including geographic, environmental and institutional exposure, within a consistent analytical framework.
11:00 am ・ Client Case Study
11:45 pm ・ Networking Lunch
12:50 pm ・Straight Talk: What you need to know about fixed income indexes in today's markets
Can macro signals systematically improve fixed income positioning? And does shifting to a sustainability and climate benchmark mean giving up performance? We put both questions to the test - examining the evidence on duration rotation and alternative weight systematic strategies and the historical performance case for S&C benchmarks and what this means within a broader total portfolio context.
1:50 pm ・Total Portfolio Transformation
Join us to explore how leading global asset owners - including the Maple 8 - are advancing their Total Portfolio Approach through consistent cross-asset measurement, deeper private markets integration and independent market standards.
2:30 pm ・ Refreshment break
3:00 pm ・ Assessing Physical Risk and Energy Transition Exposure in Portfolio Analysis
Physical hazards and energy transition dynamics are increasingly influencing portfolio risk and return outcomes. This session explores how MSCI’s physical risk solutions can support asset-level analysis and strengthen portfolio-level oversight to evaluate the financial impacts of acute and chronic physical hazards. It will also highlight how our energy transition framework can be used to assess portfolio exposure to transition-related risks and opportunities, supporting analysis of potential financial impacts, policy alignment, and overall transition positioning.
3:45 pm ・Integration in Practice: Risk, Transparency and Governance
A discussion bringing together multiple perspectives on achieving greater consistency across asset classes.
4:15pm ・ Networking reception
