For 45 years, The PRS Group - and the geopolitical risk data and forecasts included in the International Country Risk Guide (ICRG) - has been the world's leading quant-driven geopolitical risk forecasting and rating firm. The firm's clientele includes the world's largest institutional investors, transnational companies, multilateral agencies (IMF), central banks, and leading research scientists at such institutions as Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and LSE.
Cited as a “leading organization in investment risk analysis” by famed hedge fund investor, Jim Rogers, and as 'the most authoritative in the field' by leading academics, PRS' data and risk-driven investment portfolios have produced returns of over 20% with less risk and volatility. The firm has been profiled in Barron's, the WSJ, The Economist, Bloomberg, and appears on CNBC.
PRS' academic clients use the ICRG data to generate unique empirical findings, and our investment/corporate users employ the data to develop trading and portfolio management algorithms. Our data and forecasts have been back-tested for relevancy and accuracy for almost 30 years. No other firm occupies this mantle. And no other risk firm has been able to bridge the worlds of investment finance, public policy, and academia.
PRS continues to enjoy a range of partnerships, from the world's largest news organization, to technology firms with over $130 billion in assets - the latter will soon help PRS unveil the most sophisticated geopolitical data offering ever.
