Risk managers are evaluating potential scenarios and impacts on investment portfolios as the conflict in Iran persists. FactSet posted on X that historical precedents suggest portfolio implications are influenced by both the conflict's duration and the persistence of stress factors. To aid risk managers in their analyses, FactSet offers clients access to two predefined hypothetical scenarios based on historical Middle East conflicts from 1990 and 2003. These scenarios provide a baseline for clients to incorporate their own factor assumptions.
