Fathom is proud to announce that its global flood risk intelligence has been licensed by MSCI, a leading provider of mission-critical decision support tools and services for the global investment community, for use in its new physical risk solution, MSCI GeoSpatial Asset Intelligence. As a result of the collaboration, MSCI clients will now have access to the granular flood risk intelligence required to make informed decisions about their portfolio or loan book exposure to flood risks.
The data incorporated into MSCI’s solution is Fathom’s award-winning Global Flood Map, the most robust and comprehensive set of hazard and flood risk data in the world. Covering rainfall, river and coastal flooding, this fully flexible, climate-conditioned dataset can project any combination of future year and climate scenario up to the year 2100.

““Our collaboration with MSCI is a fantastic milestone in advancing flood risk intelligence for the investment community. We’re proud to contribute our expertise and data to the MSCI GeoSpatial Asset Intelligence solution, providing investors with the insights needed to ensure their portfolios can withstand the evolving climate landscape.””
