The risks reshaping institutional portfolios today — macro volatility, private market complexity, AI disruption, and emerging threats that traditional frameworks weren't built to handle — demand sharper thinking and better tools.
The MSCI Investment Risk Summit brings together senior investment and risk leaders from asset management, asset ownership, and pension management for a half-day program of moderated discussions and peer exchange. Sessions are designed for senior investment and risk leaders navigating the same pressures, with a focus on portfolio decision-making, risk frameworks, and the evolving investment landscape.
Registration is required to attend.

2:00 pm ・ Session 1: AI and the Intelligence Edge: Why Data Quality, Methodology, and Provenance Matter More Than Ever
There is a growing market narrative that AI has commoditized financial data — that large language models can replicate what premium data providers have spent decades building. This session confronts that directly, making the case that AI makes rigorous, proprietary, methodology-driven data more valuable than ever. It explores where AI is genuinely delivering value in investment and risk workflows, where data provenance and analytical rigor remain non-negotiable, and how the investment and risk function itself is evolving as AI reshapes team structures and fiduciary standards.
2:45 pm ・ Break
3:00 pm ・ Session 2: Stress Testing & Scenario Analysis: Preparing Portfolios for What Comes Next
Historical stress tests are increasingly insufficient for the risks that matter most today. Trade fragmentation, supply chain disruption, index concentration, and the emerging risks that don't fit neatly into traditional models are reshaping what it means to stress-test a portfolio seriously. This session moves the conversation from backward-looking compliance frameworks to forward-looking scenario design that genuinely challenges portfolio construction assumptions — and explores the next generation of risk thinking for a world that looks less and less like the historical data it was modeled on.
