Eurasia Group is best known as the world's largest political risk consultancy with offices in New York, Washington, London, and Tokyo and more than 150 full-time employees. The company also employs a network of 500 experts in 80 countries in Asia, Latin America, Europe & Eurasia, and Middle East & Africa--a profile The Economist magazine calls "an inspiration for any academic with a seemingly useless degree in political science."
Eurasia Group is generally recognized to be the first to systematically bring political science as a discipline to Wall Street. This approach includes the Eurasia Group Global Political Risk Index (GPRI)--the first qualitative comparative political and economic risk index designed specifically to measure stability in emerging markets. Developed over a ten-year period by experts in transitional politics and economics, the methodology provides an "early warning" system which helps anticipate critical trends and provides a measure for country capacity to withstand political, economic, security, and social shocks.
Eurasia Group services include analytical research publications and tailored consulting and advisory services, as well as direct access to Eurasia Group analysts, on political trends and their impact on business, financial markets and the foreign investment climate. Eurasia Group's 400 clients include major investment banks, institutional investors, government agencies, and multinational corporations in numerous sectors.
Eurasia Group has a global strategic alliance with PricewaterhouseCoopers, launched in March 2006 to integrate political risk assessment into risk management capabilities for multinational corporations worldwide. In 2011, Eurasia Group also launched a partnership with Bank of America to provide research to wealth-management clients and develop investment portfolios based on geopolitical analysis.

Famous quotes containing the word group:
“He hung out of the window a long while looking up and down the street. The world’s second metropolis. In the brick houses and the dingy lamplight and the voices of a group of boys kidding and quarreling on the steps of a house opposite, in the regular firm tread of a policeman, he felt a marching like soldiers, like a sidewheeler going up the Hudson under the Palisades, like an election parade, through long streets towards something tall white full of colonnades and stately. Metropolis.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
