Climate risk and regulatory change are reshaping real asset values. Most firms are still responding to each piece separately.
The firms best positioned in real assets right now are not the ones producing the most sustainability documentation. They are the ones whose leadership already understands where climate risk, regulatory change, and insurance market dynamics are heading — and what to do about it before the market forces the conversation.
Keyah Consulting works with real asset owners and advisors, institutions and foundations investing in the built environment, and related data and analytics firms, working at that intersection.
A select few firms have stopped responding to sustainability complexity and started using it as strategic intelligence. They are the first call their clients make — not because they know more regulations, but because they understand the new and emerging business critical issues before anyone else does.
My work sits at the intersection of climate risk, emerging regulatory trends, and market dynamics across real assets — where the translation between what is coming and what to do about it either succeeds or fails.
Your clients need answers. Most firms deliver documentation.
The pressure hitting your clients right now is coming from every direction simultaneously. They’re not looking for a report — they’re looking for a firm that already understands where this is heading.
- Physical climate risk is now a valuation and insurability question, not a future scenario
- Sustainability regulation is accelerating across multiple jurisdictions simultaneously, and your clients’ obligations are changing faster than most firms’ advice
- Insurance markets are withdrawing from geographies and asset types that were considered safe five years ago
- Capital is repricing climate-exposed real assets faster than most advisory firms have updated their guidance

Sophie supported Aviva’s recent event in the UK Parliament as an international expert on insurance and adaptation. She was instrumental in making the event a success… I would happily recommend Sophie as a speaker where her expertise in international insurance, adaptation and real estate is sought.
