Political and country risk assessment becomes particularly meaningful when it is quantified over time and between jurisdictions, and when it is applied to the behavior and protection of assets.

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.

Luther (Trey) Denton, PhD

I have been teaching International Marketing now for more than 25 years and have found no better tool than the PRS Country Reports to demonstrate to students the difference between popular perceptions of political risk and assessments of political risk based on careful and logical fact-based analysis. PRS forecasts and reports are extraordinarily useful in this regard. I use PRS every semester.
