What Our Clients Are Saying About Us

Gene Epstein

Devalued currencies, coups, failed economic plans and other financial and political shocks are difficult to predict and can have disastrous consequences for portfolios invested abroad. But there’s good news, at least for equity investors…International Country Risk Guide…provides information that has great predictive value with respect to future equity returns around the world.

For many years, as a senior official at the city, state and federal levels, as an advisor to governments around the world and as a professor, I find PRS the best source of political risk assessment information for those of us without the highest levels of security clearance. PRS uses quantitative and qualitative tools and is constantly updating their information and analysis.
