Grey Area Dynamics


Merchant International Group produces a series of indices which enable our clients to understand the complex risks associated with investing in non-domestic markets. Our proprietary Grey Area Dynamics™ (GADs™) quantify the underlying political, security and socio-economic environments for clients intending to or currently investing in foreign markets.

Over the last 15 years, the award-winning Grey Area Dynamics™ has been employed by the private sector, international organisations, non-governmental organisations and academics as an effective alternative to traditional forms of country risk analysis.

In the last six months the GADs™ have been recalibrated to reflect global risk patterns and MIG's increased analytical capabilities. Grey Area Dynamics™ are now used by many of MIG's clients as an integral part of their risk strategy to determine and assess the viability of a project or investment in non-domestic markets.

In the GADs™ methodology, countries are assessed on five separate criteria, each of which represents a key factor in the investment decision process. Each GAD™ is scored from zero to ten. A higher rating indicates a greater risk to investment. Taken together, the ratings provide an accurate profile of the level of risk offered by each country.
