MSCI Australia Investment Risk Summit 2026

Australian superannuation funds and asset owners are managing more diversified portfolios than ever across regions, asset classes and investment structures. Yet, greater diversification alone does not guarantee resilience. As regulators raise the bar for risk oversight, AI-driven markets amplify concentration and private markets face greater scrutiny, risk and investment teams need a clearer understanding of where risk is building, how it is transmitted and what is driving portfolio outcomes.

The Australia Investment Risk Summit brings together senior investment and risk professionals to examine how risk frameworks are evolving in response to a more volatile and structurally uncertain global environment. 

What we’ll cover:

• Stress testing for a changing risk landscape
  How institutions are incorporating forward-looking stress tests for geopolitical fragmentation, shifting trade relationships, supply chain reconfiguration and AI-driven market concentration

• Building resilience in a more volatile macro environment
  Portfolio positioning amid persistent inflation uncertainty and heightened market volatility

• Managing complexity in private markets
  New approaches to assessing private market exposures across increasingly multi-asset portfolios

• Where capital is moving and where risk is building
  How shifting capital flows and emerging exposures are reshaping portfolios from a total-portfolio perspective

• Applying AI where it delivers measurable outcomes
  The latest AI applications across the investment process and the results they're delivering

This flagship event is part of a global summit series across U.S., London, Hong Kong, Australia and Japan, examining how leading institutions are building more resilient, integrated and future-ready portfolios. Attendance is by invitation only.
