MSCI in Practice: Measuring the Financial Impact of Physical Risk
MSCI in Practice: Measuring the Financial Impact of Physical Risk
About this event
Physical risks like wildfires, floods, and hurricanes already disrupt operations, damage assets, and reshape investor expectations—creating an estimated financial exposure of USD 1.3 trillion.
In this In Practice session, MSCI experts explore how to measure and manage these risks using MSCI’s Issuer-Level Physical Risk Metrics, powered by Geospatial Asset Intelligence. The session spotlights recent MSCI research on the financial materiality of physical risks and introduces a benchmarking study with Swiss Re, assessing physical climate risk across leading Asset Owner portfolios.
Watch now to learn how MSCI’s latest dataset can help you:
- Identify exposure to and financial impacts of various physical risks on company operations
- Understand how location-specific asset exposure drives overall corporate vulnerability
- Support both current and forward-looking risk management strategies and decision-making
