Geopolitical instability, regulatory shifts, and fragmented sustainability standards are forcing asset managers to ask harder questions about how they define risk, manage portfolios, and meet their responsibilities to clients.

Updating policies isn’t enough. The challenge is building the frameworks, tools, and judgment to make credible decisions in a fast-changing world.

Join us for an exclusive roundtable in Paris, where senior investment professionals will share how they’re navigating this in practice: what’s working, what isn’t, and how better data and governance structures are changing the quality of decisions. We’ll also explore how reducing critical dependencies intersects with sustainability goals, from energy transition to electrification, and what that means for long-term portfolio resilience.

We’ll draw on experiences from markets that have been tackling these questions the longest, including the Nordics and the Netherlands, and use Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (CAHRAs) as a live example of how objective, traceable data can support faster, more defensible decisions.

Key topics for discussion

  • Geopolitical risk and the evolution of investment policy
  • From exclusions to due diligence and ongoing oversight
  • Using data and transparency to support credible decisions
  • The convergence of critical dependencies and sustainability: transition, electrification, and beyond
  • Governance safeguards without additional reporting burden
