As companies reassess supply chains and investment plans, where are the greatest risks emerging?

We'll discuss the sectors under the most pressure, how companies are adapting, and what risk managers should be watching.

This session walks through our latest Portfolio investments, including agentic and generative-AI to drive deeper analysis and faster decision-making. We’ll also provide an update on the product roadmap and next generation developments of our portfolio risk solutions.

Stress testing has moved beyond a regulatory exercise, and today's risks are more targeted and fast-moving: from tariffs and geopolitical shocks to CRE stress and deposit volatility.
