Investment risks rarely exist in isolation
They intersect in the places where companies operate, where technological, physical, environmental, social and economic forces combine to shape real-world exposure. The rapid growth of geospatial intelligence, together with an expanding universe of datasets, is creating new ways of seeing how these forces interact, giving investors a sharper view of their exposures.
The maps in this series combine MSCI GeoSpatial Asset Intelligence with datasets from organizations across a range of disciplines to reveal insights that neither could provide alone. Each map highlights relationships that might otherwise remain hidden, offering new ways to understand the forces shaping companies, investments and the global economy.
We’re looking for datasets that can reveal new dimensions of investment risk when combined with location-based intelligence. If your organization has data that could help investors see risk in a new way, we’d welcome the opportunity to explore a collaboration.
