Risk · Why it works

Client challenges → Client value

A complex overseas investment environment with no systematic country risk view

Country risk assessment

We systematically analyse political, economic, social and environmental risk in the target country, identifying latent challenges to underpin market entry, investment and planning.

Complex project risk factors, making investment value and controllability hard to judge

Project investment risk assessment

We identify project risk across country, market, construction, O&M and financial dimensions, improving investment judgement and project controllability.

No risk quantification tools to support investment approval and internal decisions

Qualitative and quantitative method

We classify, grade and rank risk into a risk register and assessment report, giving a defensible basis for investment decisions and internal approval.

Complex lender risk concerns that stall project financing

Professional risk reporting

Our reports and mitigation advice let clients pre-empt lender risk concerns, improving bankability and accelerating financing.

Risk · How we work

We identify latent risk across macro environment, country security, political economy, legal policy, sector market, construction and operations, and finance.

05Response strategy

For priority risks we design differentiated mitigation and response measures, improving investment security and executability.

02Information gathering

We collect project fundamentals, investor information, host-country policy environment and sector material to establish the risk assessment database.

04Risk assessment

Combining qualitative analysis with quantitative assessment, we evaluate probability, severity and risk grade to form the basis for judgement.

06Report and delivery

We complete the project investment and security risk assessment report, consolidating conclusions and recommendations to support the client's investment decision.
