About this event

As macroeconomic volatility, technological transformation and the energy transition accelerate, institutional investors are embracing a broader, more dynamic approach to risk — one that identifies opportunities and drives new sources of resilience and growth.

MSCI Americas Summit: Navigating Innovation and Resilience is a one-day, invite-only forum that brings together senior leaders from across asset management, asset owners, wealth management, banking, insurance and advisory to explore the future of risk and total portfolio resilience.

In the morning, expert-led panels will discuss the major structural forces reshaping global capital markets — from the new geopolitical order and execution challenges in complex portfolios to accelerating physical risk and the transformative power of AI and innovation in shaping long-term investment strategy.

In the afternoon, we shift from insight to application. Use-case-driven breakout sessions will explore real-world approaches to portfolio construction, sustainability integration, private market performance and risk, climate intelligence and scalable infrastructure for an increasingly data-centric investment environment.

Engage with your peers. Challenge your assumptions. Leave equipped with actionable insights and practical tools to support decision-making and help strengthen portfolio resilience.

Markets are evolving – is your strategy equipped to adapt to future shifts?

Due to limited capacity, attendance is by approval for an optimal peer experience. Please register your interest to attend.
