Our analysts are physically located in your markets, so we know what to look for as we understand the unique drivers of each country.

Our clients have deep understanding. Investors can seldom maintain an enduring in-country presence; immersed in domestic politics, economics, or security issues, developing expert local insight.

METHODOLOGY

Scope: Dependent on the complexity of your needs over the course of one or more meetings at your offices we will determine which nations you require coverage of, which sectors you focus on, and if you have any specific information needs.
Collection: We will then direct our on-the-ground sources in the desired countries to investigate the relevant sectors and specific information requirements. In the unlikely event our sources do not already have networks and reach into your chosen sectors then we will recruit, vet, and train new sources accordingly.
Collation: Our in-country sources submit their overviews of economic, political, and security events during the reporting period, and their findings on your chosen sectors/ areas. These numerous reports from our multiple sources are then cross-checked and refined by our London HQ staff before being delivered by email to you.
Comment: Client feedback helps to refine the work and focus of our sources, ensuring a continually improving reporting product over time. As your investment focus shifts with time, so can the focus of our sources’ information collection efforts.
Alert: As part of our information reporting service we will, on occasion and for highly significant events, provide immediate alerts by email – routinely beating all international media and so alerting our clients ahead of their competition.
