In today's evolving geopolitical landscape, investors need a clear understanding of emerging risks on both rated and unrated assets in public and private markets to take optimal actions and enhance returns. Trade wars, sanctions, cyber risk, and climate change are creating both opportunities and risks which are increasingly challenging to track and assess effectively.

Vigilance is crucial to protect portfolios from potential downsides. The IMF’s April 2024 Global Financial Stability Report warned that “The last mile of disinflation… may be complicated by several salient near-term financial fragilities.” Persistent market volatility and the risk of an equity market correction present significant challenges. Moreover, with $12 trillion invested in private equity and debt, allocations to illiquid asset classes add complexity to even well-constructed portfolios. 

How can advances in data processing, enhanced risk analytics, AI-driven predictive analytics, and advanced valuation methodologies help generate crucial early warning signals, assess portfolio impacts, identify opportunities, and address emerging risks? How can these insights be incorporated into portfolio management workflows to create a cohesive picture of portfolio risk?  

The Financial Times, in partnership with Moody’s, is hosted a webinar for Portfolio Managers, Chief Investment Officers, Heads of Risk, and other senior investment professionals. Participants learnt how leading PMs are using the latest technology and software to evaluate opportunities, gain deeper insights into risk management and enhance portfolio performance.
