Marsh collaborated with Carlyle Group on a portfolio-risk framework that incorporates severe-weather implications into asset valuations. The framework requires portfolio managers to assess extreme-weather probabilities, identify resilience gaps, estimate loss reductions from upgrades, and use those calculations to seek improved insurance underwriting terms. The initiative is supported by institutional investors including Mubadala and Sampension and is particularly relevant to assets such as data centers located in high-risk areas.
