High‑risk events are becoming the new normal, driving calls for tighter regulation and convex risk strategies
Executive summary: An Expansión opinion piece states that high‑risk events have ceased to be exceptions and are now the norm, linking risk, regulation and convexity. This shift in risk perception influences regulatory agenas, corporate risk‑management practices and investor sentiment toward assets with asymmetric payoff profiles.
Who is involved: Expansión editorial team, business leaders, financial regulators and investors.
Likely next: Greater regulatory scrutiny of systemic risk, wider adoption of convex‑oriented investment strategies and continued market volatility as new risk events emerge.
The Expansión opinion piece argues that what were once rare high‑risk events have turned into a regular feature of the business environment, prompting firms and regulators to rethink risk management. It highlights the interplay between risk, regulatory response, and the concept of convexity—where small changes can lead to outsized outcomes. The article suggests that without adaptive frameworks, companies may face unexpected losses and markets could experience heightened volatility.
