Hidden in Plain Sight: Physical Risk in Asset Owners' Portfolios

November 3, 2025-Corporate asset locations are a critical source of financial-risk intelligence for investors. More so when coupled with powerful overlays related to physical climate risk.
MSCI's new study, conducted in collaboration with Swiss Re Risk Data Solutions, analyzed more than 11,000 companies and 500,000 physical assets underpinning the listed-equity portfolios of 18 leading asset owners, representing USD 4 trillion in AUM.

Key takeaways:

Potential business-interruption risk is 14 times larger than asset damage risk

55% of companies are severely exposed to physical risk hazards today

89% of assets face multiple overlapping hazards

Clear adaptation gap demands investor engagement, only 16% of those exposed firms formally disclose integration of physical risk management

Physical risk exposures are global, regardless of regional investment focus. Hazards such as wildfires, droughts and heat waves often compound and are already affecting portfolio companies worldwide.
