Outlook 2026 Webinar: Quantifying risk in an unprecedented market

Modeling cross-asset risk

When fundamentals take a backseat, factor analysis becomes essential

Date
December 10, 2025

Time
10AM ET / 3PM GMT / 4PM CET

Duration
45 minutes

Join our Investment Decision Research team for an interactive global discussion that goes beyond traditional 2026 market outlooks. Markets have reached new highs despite political upheaval, tariff tensions, and shifting central bank policies – a disconnect that makes identifying the right risk factors more critical than ever.

This webinar will be a dynamic Q&A session where our experts will discuss how potential economic scenarios will impact markets and reveal what matters most for your 2026 portfolio positioning. Our cross-asset specialists will examine how geopolitical volatility – from Supreme Court cases affecting Fed independence to European political instability to US-China-Taiwan tensions – translates into portfolio risk factors you can model.

Asset managers, asset owners and wealth managers will learn about:

  • Factor-based approaches for measuring risk when political uncertainty dominates
  • How our analysts approach performance attribution against the current risk regime
  • Quantitative frameworks for known and unknown unknowns across regions – that even fundamental managers can use
  • The importance of stress testing in understanding the impact of changes in economic variables across the total portfolio

Designed for portfolio managers, risk managers, and investment desks seeking actionable insights across equities, fixed income, and multi-asset strategies. History may not repeat, but risk factors often rhyme.

The webinar will be recorded so if you can’t make the event, sign up anyway and we’ll send it to you to watch in your own time.
