Integrating climate change into investment decision-making - ERP Spain.com - España y América Latina

Climate change is widely recognized as one of the most important and complex risk factors faced by pension funds in the foreseeable future. Its fundamental uncertainty has seen pension funds employing scenario analysis to assess and analyze the potential climate risks within their investment portfolios and strategies. This has led to the emerging practice of combining and integrating results from climate risk analysis and traditional investment risk analysis, which has encountered a variety of challenges. Notwithstanding these challenges alongside the volume of potential impact, Ortec Finance, a global provider of technology and solutions for risk and return management for pensions funds across the UK and Europe, has actively progressed to further integrate climate risks into investment decision-making. Join us for a special presentation where Ortec Finance will discuss their approach and how they have addressed these unique challenges. They will explore: • The differences between climate risks and traditional economic and investment risks • How these differences are linked to the challenges in combining ‘what if’ deterministic climate scenarios with traditional stochastic economic scenarios • How these challenges can be addressed by effectively utilizing climate scenarios • Climate scenarios’ additional value in quantifying potential financial impacts for strategic asset allocation and stress-testing purposes Who should attend? • Chief Investment Officers, Heads of Investment, Heads of Risk, Heads of Asset and Liability Management • Investment and Responsible Investment teams • Risk teams • Sustainable Finance teams • Asset and Liability Management teams
