Report: Can flood risk be used as a measure of asset value?
Can flood risk be used as a measure of asset value?
Flooding is one of the costliest disasters. As well as causing direct financial loss, flooding amplifies systemic financial instability, causing insurance to be undervalued, investments to become increasingly vulnerable, and asset prices to fluctuate. As investors and managers seek to make informed decisions and avoid potential losses, it is more important than ever to incorporate flood risk data into due diligence, portfolio screening, and valuation processes.
On September 7 2023, Fathom hosted a session exploring this complex topic. The webinar brought together an expert panel to discuss how climate risk impacts asset value, to explore the increased adoption of flood and climate risk intelligence, and to share perspectives on how flood risk data can be transformed into a pivotal measure of asset value.
This report explores some of the key discussion points from the panel, from the value and uncertainty of climate modeling to the current impact of flood risk on asset pricing.
Sections of the report cover:
— A complex causal chain: Measuring flood and climate risk
