Many corporate and financial senior executives require broad perspective and analysis regarding major economic and regulatory policy developments as they undertake their strategic planning processes. The Risk Telescope was created based on analytical needs within the existing client base. It is now offered more broadly, in response to the market need for analysis and perspective on complicated developments that will impact the credit intermediation and trading environment for years to come.
Two to three times a month, clients receive 5-10 pages of analysis concerning how major developments in markets and/or the policy arenas will affect the allocation of capital and the perception of risk going forward. The Risk Telescope integrates analysis political, economic, and regulatory policy trends at the global (G20; IMF; BIS; Basel Committee; IOSCO), regional, and national levels to generate trend analysis based on observable facts and a keen appreciation for historical context. Designed for senior executives and chief strategists predominantly in the corporate and financial arenas, it provides concise and plain-English assessments of often technical issues.
Relevant to the new cycle, but not competing with it, these assessments provide perspective on how major developments are affecting the environment in which regulatory and political decisions are taken, and their likely impact on intermediation activity both through the banking channel and through the markets channel.
As the title implies, The Risk Telescope focuses each issue on a topic that may seem arcane or far away from implementation. Just as a telescope permits navigators conceptually to look backwards in time to chart a forward direction, The Risk Telescope provides insight into how long-simmering debates combine with new developments. It is premised on the belief that perspective and fact-based analysis regarding emerging regulatory policy trends in the financial sphere can provide senior executives with strategic insights into events as they occur.
Utility: The Risk Telescope can be used to service multiple needs. Some options include:
- enhanced scenario analysis capabilities (so that public policy scenarios are based on observable trends rather than just conjecture);
- enhanced processes for setting strategy in terms of asset allocation, cash management, or advocacy focus; and/or
- independent, external perspective to challenge internally developed analysis.
The Risk Telescope is available on an annual subscription basis, payable in one lump sum or in 12 equal monthly installments.
As a preview, the first paragraph of each report is posted on the BCM International Regulatory Analytics blog so that potential subscribers can evaluate independently the timeliness and focus of The Risk Telescope in order to determine its applicability to their strategic priorities.
