Eurasia Group

Eurasia Group

Eurasia Group was established in 1998 by political scientist Ian Bremmer, who coined the term 'emerging markets' and built the firm to bridge the gap between politics and financial markets. Wealth origin is not a factor in its structure — it operates as an independent research and advisory practice rather than a family office or capital allocator. The firm is headquartered in New York, with additional offices in Washington, DC, and London, supported by a network of experts worldwide. The firm's strategy centers on political risk analysis across macro-geopolitics, sector-specific impacts, and country-level dynamics. Its advisory model provides direct research, custom engagements, and public-facing thought leadership, including the annual Top Risks report, the State of the World speech by Ian Bremmer, and thematic studies like the Atlas of Impunity, created with analytical support from its Geostrategy team. Recent work includes a report on competitiveness and the green transition in the aluminum industry, produced with Alcoa. Geographic coverage spans global political environments, with particular depth in the US, Europe, and emerging economies. Team size and internal financial metrics remain undisclosed; the firm structures its engagement model around consulting briefings and public speaking, rather than investment vehicles, co-investment clubs, or pooled capital. Its Washington and London offices extend proximity to key policy centers. No philanthropic foundation or adjacent investment vehicle has been publicly identified. Eurasia Group's structural differentiator lies in its singular focus: political risk as a standalone discipline, deliberately decoupled from investment management or brokerage — a posture that positions it as a primary source for geopolitical intelligence across industries, rather than a participant in any capital allocation ecosystem.
