Mapping future risks in an increasingly complex world

One area where investment thinking and regulatory requirements continue to evolve is the sustainability of an investment portfolio.

Climate change has become, and continues to be, a huge focus. However, there are new, emerging risks that pension schemes need to prepare for.

Whilst horizon scanning can feel like a ‘nice to have’, the identification of upcoming needs is important if trustees are going to stay in control, rather than being caught on the back foot.

Giving yourself permission to step out of addressing the day-to-day challenges, of which there are many, and taking the time to consider and discuss things which, here and now, are perhaps considered less pressing is critical.

At Brightwell we recently undertook a project with Cambridge Judge Business School to look at nature related risks and this short report outlines the objective, process and outcome.

Now that Sir Keir Starmer has the keys to Downing Street what can the pensions industry expect?
