Are your investment beliefs out of date? Tim Hodgson, Co-founder of the Thinking Ahead Institute, thinks that they probably are. "If your investment beliefs were set five, or more, years ago – when net-zero wasn’t even a ‘thing’ – then I will argue that they need to catch up with a fast-moving reality." And that reality has a lot to do with the increased understanding of climate, systems and risk.

“The plumbing of the financial system is so crucial, and it isn’t clear that we’ve learnt enough lessons in that respect and so it remains a systemic risk. We’ve seen the rise and rise of systemic risk; it wasn’t a factor through the 2010s, as it were; we’ve been keeping the lid on them. But in the 2020s the likely expectation is that these system risks will manifest. The problem is the interconnectedness of the system, which has increased over time, and the complexity of the system, which creates this (dynamic) where you don’t always know what’s going to happen because you have first, second, third and fourth order effects.” Roger Urwin, Co-founder of the Thinking Ahead Institute, speaks to Lachlan Maddock at Investor Strategy News (IS|N) about 'how the models that have for decades underpinned the way investments are made are no longer as useful as they once were, and threats to the financial system still lurk in the plumbing'.
