Recording: Using top-down scenario analysis approaches to inform investment, risk assessment and strategy
As part of the A4S Pensions Deep Dive series, this virtual session explores how some pension schemes and their investment teams are adopting bespoke scenario analysis approaches to address some of the shortfalls of a more traditional approach.
We examine how top-down, narrative and other model approaches are being integrated into investment decision-making processes, informing asset allocation, enhancing risk assessment, and supporting long-term strategic planning.
With panel experts from Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS), Norges Bank Investment Management and Baillie Gifford, the session is designed for the global pension sector to provide practical steps to ensuring scenario analysis better reflects real-world complexity.
By watching this deep dive, you will:
- Learn how to use top-down and narrative scenarios to inform investment decisions, including asset allocation and risk management.
- Understand how insights from these bespoke scenario analysis are informing engagement strategies, capital deployment, and long-term planning.
