The Global Risks Alliance (GRA)

Asset Management Nexus · Innovation pipelineInnovation pipeline, in outline: domain structure with placeholder names and illustrative values, not a record.
Innovation at Asset Management Nexus is the evaluation of technology relevant to capital markets and investment: the need it addresses, the evidence behind it, its constraints and its consequences for safety, rights and the environment. Promising work can be built in Nexus Foundry and tested in Nexus Universe; nothing is called proven before test and review, and no product is endorsed.
Fig.How a finding is reviewed before it is published. Design, not a record.
Where a portfolio's assets sit, and how much of its value is most exposed. Hypothetical assets, not an assessment.
Which problem does the technology address, and for whom?
What has been demonstrated, under what conditions, and what remains untested?
Cost, skills, infrastructure, data and governance requirements.
Effects on safety, rights, equity and the environment.
For each change, Asset Management Nexus asks what new dependency, concentration or model risk it creates for portfolio managers and analysts, and which of IOSCO, ISSB and PCAF has addressed it so far.
Promising work can be built in Nexus Foundry and tested under controlled conditions through Nexus Universe. No technology is described as proven before it has been tested and reviewed.
