B&M’s Products and Services*
At B&M, we use a variety of pioneering products and services to create a political, economic, social, and security risk monitoring, management and forecasting plan that is tailored to address each client’s unique set of business and investment goals in Africa.
The Coverage
Our unyielding focus on Africa enables us to be more thorough and efficient in our political risk research, analysis and forecasting than our competitors. We conduct our research on a continental (i.e. the African Union + Morocco), sub-regional (i.e. North, West, East, Central, and Southern Africa), national, provincial, municipal, and industry level.
What the Clients Say
“We think MENA fund managers, Oil and Gas and commodity investors, family offices, and emerging markets investors will find the B&M research highly useful from an asset allocation and top down macro-economic point of view.”
“The relative and absolute comparisons of socio-macro-economics together with the juxtaposition of political and economic risks should provide a good source of information for emerging markets portfolio managers attempting to make an allocation to the region or for existing managers to reallocate their portfolios.”

Other Consultative Products & Services*
B&M AfriRisk Index©
The first comparative country risk index modeled to monitor, measure, and forecast political, economic, social, and security risks unique to Africa, using both quantitative and qualitative data. Updated weekly, the index tracks up to 25 categories of risks prevalent in Africa, and can be modified to monitor and forecast specific risks impacting a client’s bottom line.
Full Description of the B&M AfriRisk Index
B&M Field Research Analysts and On-Site Monitors
Strategically positioned and highly responsive Africa-based analysts help clients closely monitor and manage exposure to daily risk developments caused by sudden changes in the political, security, and social climate. For example, they help clients plan and manage social accommodation or “good neighbor” programs to reduce local resentment of a project and thus alleviate the risk of civil strife and infrastructure vandalism.
B&M Situation Briefings
Help clients reach a thorough and current understanding of emergency political, economic, social, and security risk developments threatening their business and investments in Africa.
B&M Scenario Planning
Helps clients thoroughly research and model the possible alternative paths and outcomes of political, economic, social, and security risk developments threatening their business and investments in Africa.
B&M Securities Tracker©
Helps clients track political, economic and security risk developments impacting market movements and the performance of securities across Africa. It can track up to 50 securities in as many as 3 portfolios. It is available to both institutional and individual investors, and, in addition to single securities, it is capable of tracking funds, ETFs and other collective investment schemes.
B&M Risk Monitoring Plan©
Using a comprehensive assessment of a client’s needs (i.e. preferred investment type, risk tolerance level, and target industry and/or country), we create a monitoring plan to call in, e-mail, podcast, text, Twitter, Facebook, fax or mail each client a personalized succinct appraisal of political, economic, social, and security risk developments and emergencies threatening an investment in Africa at a client’s desired frequency (i.e. daily, weekly, monthly or quarterly).
B&M Political Risk Management Client Tools©
Help clients incorporate political risk management tools into their plans for investing in Africa, especially at the point of entry and expansion. For example, these tools can be used to recalibrate company documents and plans (i.e. budgets) to reflect typically overlooked political, economic, social, and security risks and threats.
B&M Client Meets
We arrange and anchor client meetings, conferences and mixers in the U.S. and Africa with government officials, business leaders and other stakeholders pertinent to a client’s business plans.
B&M Consultative Publications and Reports*
B&M produces a wide variety of consultative publications and reports on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual basis, personalized to address each client’s unique set of research needs. These are available for regular subscription or one-time purchase. In contrast, our competitors sell one-size-fits-all reports that can cost as much as $10,000 each and may not address all of a client’s specific needs.
B&M Weekly Africa Markets Report©
