Risk Analysis
Political & Security Risk Analysis:
Whether you’re a business looking to expand into new and emerging markets or you are considering an investment into a strategic business venture you will need to assess the legal and regulatory environments, political situation and regional stability.
Conducting a detailed and focused risk assessment for new investments can mean the difference between success and failure.
Alexander Carr & Co will assess the political and security risks associated with a particular business venture and recommend ways of mitigating those risks.
Our Research & Analysis Services Include:
Country Risk Analysis
When investing or operating in emerging markets it is important to understand the current and future country risk, its key drivers and the key participants of political decision-making and influence. We monitor key political, security and economic risk indicators.
Regional Risk Analysis
Understanding country risk levels alone is not always sufficient. Many countries have strong regional characteristics and levels of risk may vary significantly amongst provinces, counties and urban areas. Some areas may provide excellent opportunities for investment and security whereas others may be unstable or demonstrate poor governance. Our clients can benefit from our “on the ground” capabilities.
Investment Risk Analysis
We can offer risk analysis services to clients in the private equity and hedge fund business in order to support their portfolio risk management policy. We can provide input that our clients can use to enhance their internal risk management model. We can also monitor investment portfolios and alert the client when political & security developments may affect investments within their portfolios.
Project Risk Analysis
Even when country risk and regional risk are positively aligned, a particular project may present certain unforeseen risks. Cultural sensitivity, local government interests and business partner risk may be obstacles in the way of an otherwise profitable venture.
