MSCI in Practice: Physical Risk Investor Guide

A User Manual for Asset Owners and Asset Managers

Physical climate risks are increasingly influencing investment decision-making, with the potential to create material financial impacts across asset classes and regions. As climate hazards intensify, understanding physical risk has become an important consideration for assessing asset exposure, potential financial impacts, and portfolio resilience. Investors who do not account for these dynamics may face both downside risk and missed opportunities to better understand risk profiles.

On March 10, join us for the first edition of our quarterly webinars on Physical Risk.

In this session, we will explore the relevance of physical risk and demonstrate how MSCI’s data and solutions can be applied to support real-world portfolio analysis. Our experts will showcase how investors can:

• Identify physical climate hazards and assess asset-level exposure
• Quantify potential financial impacts associated with asset damage and business interruptions
• Assess portfolio exposure and preparedness in relation to physical climate risks
• Explore approaches for incorporating physical risk considerations into broader risk-management and resilience frameworks

 Join us for an in-depth discussion on the importance of understanding and assessing physical climate risk in investment portfolios.

All attendees will receive access to the latest research paper: MSCI’s Physical Risk Guide: A User Manual for Asset Owners and Asset Managers.
