We provide research and advice on world economy, geopolitics and investment strategy. Investment strategy is always the main focus of our economic, financial and geopolitical analysis.

Our research is based on an analytic methodology reflecting a high degree of integration of the global economy and financial markets. There is no regional specialization in our work. Country-specific examinations are always conducted in a broader context of world economy to take into account the impact of international flows of trade and finance on the country under review.

Analytic techniques used are varied and multi-disciplinary. Formal modeling and quantitative estimations complement judgmental assessments based on the best and most recent information available. The research and investment strategy don’t adhere to any particular economic theory to the exclusion of others.

The product line consists of reports on our website and a 24/7 hotline with average response time of four hours.
