Smart City Success in Malaysia: A Reproducible Model Powered by thethings.iO - MTi's IoT Platform
Designed as the central dashboard for Iskandar Investment Berhad (IIB), the MSCMP integrates advanced IoT solutions to support environmental monitoring and long-term ESG goals for Medini, with the ambition of becoming Malaysia's first net carbon zero city. MTi's IoT platform, thethings.iO, developed and customized specifically for this project by BCN, played a central role in enabling the flexible, data-driven infrastructure now operating at the heart of the city.
"This platform reflects our shared ambition to transform Medini into a future-ready, sustainable city. With MTi's technology powering the system, we have created a robust foundation that other cities in the region can learn from and replicate", said Mohamad Amir Shariff, Lead Project Manager at BCN Smarttech.
The first phase of the platform, now fully operational, integrates real-time data from air quality sensors and will soon expand to other verticals of city management. The system is already showcased in IIB's new Smart City Experience Centre in Medini, positioning it as a reference project for future developments.
For Affluence, this milestone reflects a broader commitment to promoting scalable, sustainable, and interoperable solutions globally - with the MSCMP standing as a blueprint for future smart city initiatives in Southeast Asia and beyond.

KBRA Assigns Preliminary Ratings to OBX 2025-NQM15 Trust
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KBRA assigns preliminary ratings to 10 classes of mortgage-backed notes from OBX 2025-NQM15 Trust, a $697.3 million non-prime RMBS transaction. The underlying collateral, comprising 1,213 residential mortgages, is characterized by fixed-rate mortgages (FRMs) and hybrid adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) making up 91.8% and 8.2% of the pool, respectively. A majority of the loans are either classified as non-qualified mortgages (Non-QM; 50.6%) or exempt (38.8%) from the Ability-to-Repay/Qualified Mortgage (ATR/QM) rule due to being originated for non-consumer loan purposes. There were no originators comprising over 10% of the pool. KBRA's rating approach incorporated loan-level analysis of the mortgage pool through its Residential Asset Loss Model (REALM), an examination of the results from third-party loan file due diligence, cash flow modeling analysis of the transaction's payment structure, reviews of key transaction parties and an assessment of the transaction's legal structure and documentation.

Flood Risk Assessments in a Changing Climate: Future-Proofing UK Investments
The UK is experiencing heightened flood risks, driven by climate change, extreme weather events, and urban expansion. For investors and asset managers, flood resilience is no longer just an environmental consideration, it is a critical factor in financial decision-making, asset valuation, and transactional due diligence. Understanding flood risk ensures informed investment strategies, mitigating liability, insurability challenges, and marketability concerns for properties and portfolios. Beyond Standard Requirements: The Case for Climate Projections Traditional Flood Risk Assessments (FRAs) often rely on historical flood data, but this fails to account for climate-driven risks. By integrating UK Climate Projections (UKCP) scenarios, investors can anticipate fluvial, pluvial, and coastal flood impacts, ensuring assets remain insurable, financially viable, and compliant with evolving regulations such as the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS S2), previously the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). Key Considerations for Investors and Developers Leveraging Flood Maps for Smarter Site Selection Modern Flood Maps, including those from the UK Environment Agency and other geospatial providers, offer vital insights into flood zones, historical flood extents, and modelled projections. These visual tools help developers and investors make informed decisions about site selection and risk exposure. However, Flood Maps alone are not sufficient for due diligence. They should be used alongside bespoke flood risk assessments and other relevant third-party reports that account for future climate scenarios and site-specific variables such as elevation, soil type, and drainage capacity. By combining mapping with relevant analytical assessments, stakeholders can avoid undervaluing, or overexposing assets. Mitigation Strategies for Resilient Investments The Role of Flood Risk Assessments in ESG and Sustainability Reporting Flood risk has become a key disclosure topic in ESG frameworks. Investors and publicly traded companies are expected to report climate-related risks, including flooding, in alignment with IFRS S2, CDP, and other global reporting standards. A thorough flood risk assessment supports transparency and demonstrates proactive risk management. These insights can also help companies meet stakeholder expectations and avoid reputational harm tied to climate inaction or underreported liabilities. Who Needs a Flood Risk Assessment? While commonly associated with large residential or commercial assets, flood risk assessments are essential across many sectors: retail, logistics, manufacturing, education, healthcare, and more. Transactions involving data centers, infrastructure assets, even brownfield with a view to redevelop in the future and often require flood risk evaluation, especially where Flood Maps demonstrate uncertainty or indicate moderate to high flood potential. Lenders, pension funds, and insurers may request an FRA during due diligence to assess long-term viability and ensure assets are not exposed to unmanaged risks. Impact on Insurability, Site Value, and Long-Term Viability Flood exposure influences capital investment, portfolio performance, and asset liquidity. Poor flood resilience can lead to: Linking FRAs to Transaction Support Flood risk isn't just a consideration; it is a transactional necessity. A thorough FRA ensures: The Antea Group UK Advantage At Antea Group UK, we provide specialist flood risk advisory, supporting investors, asset managers, and lenders with: Flood Risk Assessments Key Takeaways Conclusion: Why Proactive Flood Risk Assessments Matter For investors, flood risk directly impacts financial performance, transaction success, and long-term asset viability.
