Careers

PRS likes a challenge. It informs what we do on a daily basis.

Our quant-driven models for assessing and forecasting political risk challenge commonly-held ideas about the restrictive nature of borders, and what political risk really means to business, investors, and the academic community.

While important, we provide our clientele with more than opinions. We deliver data that is predictive, that allows our clients to conduct business in a range of markets with confidence, and that enables our clients to take advantage of investment opportunities in a structured and tested way. PRS’ clients know this, and it is what has made PRS a valuable and unique entity in the political risk space for almost four decades.

Challenge also informs the people we hire at PRS. We believe in working with the brightest in their field, and cultivating and expanding their skills. We value those with an entrepreneurial mindset, the ability to build an enterprise, and to push the limits of their thinking about what a firm can do. PRS’ is forward-looking, and so are our employees.

NEW RELEASE

COVID-19, US ELECTIONS, TRUMP, BREXIT…WHAT’S NEXT FOR POLITICAL RISK?

There’s never been a more volatile and uncertain time in recent history. As the recent pandemic has reminded us, the interconnect nature of the global economy has made political risk analysis more important – and vastly more complex.  Quant-driven methods have become increasingly de riguer, but what does the future hold for the practice in the face of new and emerging challenges?

In Quid Periculum? Measuring and Managing Political Risk in the Age of Uncertainty, long-time political risk experts Christopher McKee and Peter Marber present approaches and analyses to this new world of risk. From risk forecasting techniques and reliability measures, to empirical findings affecting asset prices and sovereign debt workouts, the role of political risk in the 2020s and beyond is thoroughly explored by the world’s leading specialists. The book also includes an exceptional roundtable discussion among some of the leading names in the field, offering a insiders’ view of issues such as the impact of COVID-19, the future of globalization, new political risks, and risk mitigation techniques.

A unique blend of scholarly and applied efforts, this is the 6th edition of PRS’ series The Handbook of Country Political Risk Analysis.  For more information and to reserve your copy today, contact Louis Carroll at lcarroll@prsgroup.com
