We provide research and advice on world economy, geopolitics and investment strategy.

Our research is based on an analytic methodology reflecting a high degree of integration of the global economy and financial markets. Country-specific examinations are always conducted in a broader context of world economy.

Analytic techniques used are varied and multi-disciplinary. Formal modeling and quantitative estimations complement judgmental assessments based on the best and the most recent information available.

The product line consists of reports, personal consultations and a 24/7 hotline with an average response time of four hours.
