Preventable Surprises is a New York based 'think-do' tank that seeks to drive behaviour change within the investment sector to help prevent major market dysfunctions. In an increasingly complex and polarised world, Preventable Surprises creates a safe and creative space where 'positive mavericks' inside the investment system, scientists, policy experts and corporates can collaborate. The outcome is lasting change that benefits investors and corporates that have a long-term focus and thus society at large. Our major programme focuses on climate related systemic risk and is called 'Forceful Stewardship'. We are also engaged in work relating to ESG leadership, sell side research and investment scenarios.
