Four years ago, Dynam began integrating physical risk assessment into their investment framework. The latest research paper stress-tests the VNH portfolio against government El Niño scenarios and MSCI Physical Risk Assessment. What they learned:
- Location matters: micro-data on company physical footprints (e.g., coastal manufacturing complexes vs. asset-light networks) reveals precise operational vulnerabilities to heat and water scarcity.
- Energy and systemic risk: drought-induced hydropower drops can trigger systemic grid pressures, compounding physical risks with higher energy costs.
- Risk to opportunity: granular asset-level tracking helps us pinpoint resilient business models (asset-light operations, self-generating industrial sites, and renewable opportunities).
