Political Risk Consulting and Country Risk Analysis
Know the risks before you commit capital. RiskPoint Advisors gives companies and investors clear, current intelligence on the political and operating conditions that decide whether a project succeeds abroad.
Every cross-border project or investment depends on an accurate read of the host country. We analyze the competitive and operational landscape, identify the risks and opportunities others miss, and deliver tailored recommendations so you can act with confidence.
Our team brings experience from the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (now the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation), the World Bank, and the International Finance Corporation, institutions at the center of political risk assessment and investment in emerging markets.
Geopolitical Risk Analysis That Protects Your Investment
Geopolitical shifts can stall or derail even well-planned projects. RiskPoint gives you a clear picture of the political forces at work in your host country, including the official rules and the unofficial ones that shape how business really gets done. The result is a sharper calculation of risk and return before you commit.
The RiskPoint Methodology
Our proprietary methodology combines non-market and economic indicators into a comprehensive country risk assessment. Each report covers:
Investment climate: regulatory stability, policy direction, and treatment of foreign investors
Currency inconvertibility and transfer risk: your ability to convert and move funds out of the country
Expropriation risk: the likelihood of nationalization, creeping expropriation, or contract repudiation
Arbitration and dispute resolution: how enforceable your rights really are
Political violence: civil unrest, terrorism, and conflict affecting people and assets
