Geopolitical Risk and Portfolio Decisions

Описание: Geopolitical risk is currently reshaping how investors think about exclusions, investment policy, and portfolio oversight. At the same time, it is rewriting the macroeconomic playbook that long-term capital owners have relied on for decades. Trade fragmentation, shifting alliances, and a more interventionist policy environment are forcing investors to reconcile top-down macro views with bottom-up portfolio decisions in ways that didn’t exist even a few years ago.
What increasingly sets leading investment teams apart is their ability to navigate this complexity with accurate, reliable data, a coherent macroeconomic framework, and a commitment to transparency that meets the expectations of those whose capital they steward.
Join this conversation between leading voices on the topic, moderated by Aline R. Gustafsson, CFA, Editor of NordSIP: Kristofer Dreiman, Chief Sustainability Officer at Länsförsäkringar and Marcus Svedberg, Chief Economist at Folksam, will bring an asset owner’s perspective on how a faster-changing geopolitical and macroeconomic environment is influencing investment strategy, allocation, and the sustainability lens applied across portfolios. Patricia Pina, Chief Research Officer at Clarity AI, will share how investors are adapting to this complexity, translating geopolitical context into concrete decisions while maintaining consistency, transparency, and accountability.
