An International Clientele Beyond Compare

Our unique geopolitical risk data, analyses and forecasts are used by the world’s largest and most prominent institutional investors, transnational companies (from resource extraction companies to the largest technology firms globally), multilateral organizations, central banks and sovereign wealth funds, and universities of all disciplinary stripes.

For our institutional investors, the ICRG data allows asset managers to adopt a more selective approach to country exposure, as political factors (among other idiosyncratic influences) play an increasingly important role in trading selections for portfolio and tactical decisions, especially those bound by ESG requirements.

The university sector has long relied on our work to generate empirical findings across a range of disciplines, from finance and economics, to political science data analytics, and even geography. Since the 1980s, the results of this work have been published in leading peer-reviewed academic and trade journals.

Transnational companies use our products to explore new markets, develop unique risk management stratagems, and form realistic hurdle rates. Firms also see our work as vital component of their political risk insurance coverage.

Many of the world’s development banks and lending agencies also use our products to help balance their global portfolios, manage on-lending or programming initiatives, and to conduct research in econometric modeling.

No other geopolitical risk firm can claim this mantle.
