Transformational Investment: Converting Global Systemic Risks into Sustainable Returns

Transformational Investment: Converting Global Systemic Risks into Sustainable Returns provides new insights to ensure that the long-term impact of non-traditional risks and opportunities can be better understood. Reflecting work done in collaboration with Mercer, the report leverages use cases to identify critical systemic risks that address an annual investment gap of $6.27 trillion. The report identifies six systemic risks and establishes a governance framework to enable the investment community to address risks related to water security, climate change, population growth, geopolitical uncertainty, negative interest rates and technology disruption.
