Strategic risk analysis

What we do

"They are tremendously responsive, willing to commit themselves, take a view and give advice." CEO, international financial services company

Our clients see opportunities in markets where others fear to tread; they know that these new frontiers present unique risks that need to be understood and monitored if they are to be managed effectively.

Aegis Advisory’s strategic risk analysis is central to the efforts of many global companies as they seek to minimise downside risks and maximise returns on their investments.

At the core of this service is our Aegis Strategic Risk Assessment (ASTRA) tool, which quantifies risk levels in comparable risk scores. A comprehensive and automated proprietary model, ASTRA covers over 90 territories and tracks over 30 political, security, criminal and governance risk factors.

This regularly updated bank of knowledge is customisable. We work with clients to select the risk factors of most relevance to their business, set appropriate weights for those factors in order to calculate the risk scores, and define the geographical scope. The interactive ASTRA view is accessible by clients through our secure website, while changes to the risk scores can also be transmitted regularly to the client’s in-house risk tracking system via a dedicated electronic link.

Our clients have access to our unique insights in a variety of other formats including tailored reports. We write concise and informative bulletins on emerging risks relevant to our clients’ operations, produce forward-looking reports on the commercial implications of geopolitical trends, and attend meetings of senior decision-makers to advise those clients on the likely impacts of developments in their markets.

Why us

All risk models use data available in the public domain. Aegis Advisory goes further, supplementing them with proprietary insights from reliable sources on the ground. This creates a unique and valuable view of the likely trajectory of risks in all key markets, including emerging and frontier markets. The variety of formats and delivery options make our strategic risk analysis service stand out as an essential input into decision-making for companies pursuing opportunities in new markets.
