01In brief

The short answer.

Asset Management Nexus sector scenarios are published, aggregated descriptions of how exposures in the capital markets and investment field could evolve under stated assumptions, read against frameworks such as IFRS S1 and IFRS S2. They describe sector-level exposures with their limits; they are not forecasts, assess no individual firm and are not investment advice.

Scoping to review.

Canvas · scoping to reviewDesign, not a record
Published scenarios: coastal flood risk and adaptation pathwaysSea level scenarios combined with storm surge and tide give extreme water levels by return period; a flood model maps exposure and damage; adaptation pathways sequence measures with signals for switching before tipping points. Design of the process, not a record of a run.

06Design note

Sudden repricing, not gradual drift.

The NGFS short-term scenarios published in May 2025 include a disorderly transition in which expectations change suddenly. For portfolios, sudden repricing of exposed sectors matters more than the gradual long-run path, because it hits liquidity and redemptions at the same time. Liquidity effects continue at liquidity and redemption.

Investment adviceA personal recommendation on investments, a regulated activity in most jurisdictions.
