Risk Management & Solutions for Investors

Gain insights on data-poor markets by understanding opportunity qualification with innovative risk management solution and pre-deal due diligence.

Investors and companies seeking to invest and grow within new markets are increasingly exposed to a complex spectrum of risks. When evaluating potential opportunities, investors need to be able to quantify risks in financial terms in order to credibly evaluate, compare, and select investment opportunities. Once an asset has been selected, investors must assess that asset’s viability by considering the potential macroeconomic contexts, and what impact that will have on the asset’s profitability. That is where most solutions stop, but we know it’s critical to monitor and review investments post-deal as well.

Our risk solutions improve the quality of investment decision-making and ongoing monitoring by providing pressure-tested macroeconomic and sector inputs, expert political analysis and scenario alternatives. Our team of 250+ economists and 80+ country risk analysts provide forecast data and quantified risk metrics globally as well as analysis and forecasts that can be applied to a specific transaction. Our dedicated risk consulting team can build custom solutions for your specific portfolios and provide a tailored view for your profile.
