Agenda
8:30 am ・ Registration and Networking Breakfast
9:00 am ・ Welcome remarks
9:05 am ・ When Geopolitics Meets Economics: Implications for Portfolio Risk
We will explore how geopolitical shocks and shifting macro and market regimes have historically rippled through multi-asset-class portfolios, from oil-driven stagflation risks to rare "Triple-Red" periods when equities, bonds and the dollar fell together. Using scenario analysis and historical parallels, we'll discuss frameworks investors can use to stress-test their portfolios against today's most pressing uncertainties.
9:45 am ・ Private Credit: Gaining Clearer Insights into Risk Exposures
Private credit has grown into a multi-trillion-dollar asset class. However, recent redemption pressures, collateral markdowns and rising defaults are exposing how smoothed valuations and data lags can obscure key measures of volatility and concentration risk. This session will explore how fund-level transparency data, factor-based risk models and peer benchmarking help investors uncover the risk profile of their private credit allocations.
10:25 am・ Networking Break
10:45 am ・AI and the Future of Analytics User Experience
Emerging technology, particularly AI, appeared as a forward-looking but recurring topic, reflecting the growing demand from investors for faster, more intuitive ways to interpret complex risk and performance data. For this theme, we explore how new MSCI platforms like AI Portfolio Insights use artificial intelligence to enable natural language querying of risk exposures and identification of risk outliers to better manage and communicate insights into portfolio positioning. We will also outline a new taxonomy of exposure to the AI value chain, enabling portfolio managers to quantify their exposure to winners and losers in the AI industrial transformation. Finally, we use AI-powered analytics to illustrate how emerging and geopolitical risks that are material to companies and client portfolios may be quantified.
11:25 am ・Modernizing Balance Sheet Risk: ALM and IRRBB on a Unified Platform
Heightened regulatory scrutiny following the 2023 Silicon Valley Bank collapse, combined with ongoing rate volatility, is driving demand for integrated balance sheet analytics. This session explores how a unified platform can bridge trading and banking book risk — enabling NII and EVE scenario analysis, IRRBB stress testing and flexible deposit modelling within a single analytical framework.
