Physical Risk Analysis for Every Investor Type

    The same translation chain serves asset managers, banks, insurers, family offices and research firms. What changes is the output: deal due diligence for one, ICAAP and ORSA documentation for another, portfolio aggregation for a third. The method stays identical; the vocabulary and deliverables match your mandate.

    Asset Managers & Fund Selectors

    THE CHALLENGE

    Portfolio risk assessments rely on ESG ratings and sector averages that obscure asset-level exposures. Physical risk due diligence is manual, slow, and inconsistent. Article 8/9 fund disclosures require evidence that existing data providers don't deliver at sufficient granularity.

    HOW WE HELP

    Focused analyses for specific portfolio segments or new positions. Hazard exposure profiles and financial impact estimates at asset level. Outputs aligned to SFDR/Taxonomy/TCFD disclosure requirements.

    FIRST ENGAGEMENT

    A focused analysis of physical risk exposure across a defined portfolio segment, with asset-level evidence packages and financial impact estimates.

    Banks & Insurers

    THE CHALLENGE

    Supervisors demand physical risk quantification (ECB SREP, EBA expectations, ICAAP/ORSA) and institutions lack the data infrastructure to deliver defensible answers. Location data is poor, damage functions unavailable, and internal teams build from scratch.

    HOW WE HELP

    Asset-level evidence packages that produce NEAR/CEAR-compatible loss metrics. Stress-test scenario inputs. Complete audit trail for supervisory review.

    FIRST ENGAGEMENT

    Evidence packages aligned to supervisory expectations, with traceable methodology and documentation suitable for regulatory examination.

    Family Offices & Private Investors

    THE CHALLENGE

    Concentrated portfolios (real estate, infrastructure, private equity) face outsized physical risk because diversification doesn't protect you. Deal evaluation relies on generic assessments rather than site-specific analysis.

    HOW WE HELP

    Focused analyses for deal evaluation or portfolio review. Clear, non-technical evidence packages that show the physical risk profile of each asset with financial implications. No jargon, no opaque scores.

    FIRST ENGAGEMENT

    Site-specific physical risk assessment for concentrated holdings or deal evaluation, with clear financial implications.

    Research Firms & Consultants

    THE CHALLENGE

    Client demand for physical risk analysis is growing, but scaling bespoke research without increasing headcount is the fundamental challenge. QA costs eat margins, tools are fragmented, and every engagement reinvents the wheel.

    HOW WE HELP

    Embedded research partnerships where Open Beta serves as the production backend for physical risk analysis. Repeatable extraction and structuring workflows. Evidence-linked outputs that research firms can pass to their own clients.

    FIRST ENGAGEMENT

    Embedded partnership that provides scalable physical risk analysis capacity with consistent methodology and quality.

    Frequently asked questions

    Aggregated ratings hide asset-specific exposure: a portfolio can score well while individual positions carry material physical risk. This analysis works location by location and hazard by hazard instead of scoring the portfolio as a whole.

    Yes. Financial estimates are placed into your decision context, which includes ICAAP and ORSA requirements, portfolio stress tests and deal due diligence, and are delivered with regulatory documentation and an audit trail.

    Assets are fixed to precise coordinates — individual buildings and facilities — rather than headquarters addresses or aggregated regions, because physical risk varies over very short distances.

    Yes. A Research Partnership embeds us as an extended research team for physical risk analysis, which is the usual route for research firms with growing client demand and for insurers running portfolio analysis.
