Podcasts about Political risk

A world which has been ordered for decades by globalisation and geoeconomics has quickly become a world grounded in geopolitical risk. Why have we reached this point and what does the road ahead look like? Lester Kiewit speaks to elections analyst and consultant Ben Graham Jones.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With Donald Trump's second inauguration about 10 days away, it's a good time to survey what lies ahead for the U.S. and global economies. The political risk consultancy Eurasia Group recently put out its annual list of top risks for the year ahead. In 2025, rivalries and instability could pose threats to the global economy. Also: a look at the British bond market and what to expect when you’re expecting a jobs report.

Based on agency theory, signaling theory, and moral capital theory, we examine whether and how corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance influences firms' political risk disclosure. We also examine the impact of such disclosure on institutional ownership and financial analysts' forecast dispersion and forecast error and whether the impact depends on CSR performance. We find that stronger CSR performers provide less disclosure of political risk than weaker CSR performers, suggesting that CSR performance is a substitute for political risk disclosure. We find that political risk disclosure is associated with lower percentage of ownership by institutional investors with long-term investment horizons and higher analyst forecast dispersion and forecast error. However, we find that CSR performance cancels out the negative impact of political risk disclosure on institutional ownership and analyst forecast dispersion/error, suggesting that institutional investors and financial analysts put less weight on such disclosure issued by more CSR-oriented firms.

Today's episode is an absolute blast. That's because the person I am talking to is unique. And I think that's because he spent quite a large proportion of his career a long way outside insurance and discovered our sector relatively late. But the crucial point is that it wasn't that late. Graham Elliot CEO of Crux Underwriting had enough experience outside the sector not to be too dyed in the wool and full of industry preconceptions, but he has been with us long enough to have had time to have already made a serious entrepreneurial impact on our sector at Oxygen Insurance Brokers, Aqua Underwriting and Azur Group. I first met him about eight years ago at the beginning of the insurtech boom and found him incredibly valuable as someone who was very eloquent and adept at explaining the benefits of technology to a traditional insurance audience in words it could understand. Graham's latest venture is Crux Underwriting, a new Lloyd's MGA he has set up with experienced Political Risk and Political Violence underwriter, Mike O'Connor. But this podcast is way broader than Crux's opening line of business. Our talk is an incredibly wide-ranging tour of the most advanced thinking around how global wholesale and specialty insurance and reinsurance is set to develop in the digital age that is currently dawning. AI, algorithmic trading, genuinely realtime digitised underwriting systems and the reasons behind the boom in MGAs are all discussed in great detail. If you still haven't quite got your head around where the market is likely to be heading after our digital big bang is finally reached, I recommend this talk as a wonderful place to start. Graham is charismatic and charming and I guarantee it won't be long before your imagination is sparked and you are swept up in the positive appreciation of some of the enormous opportunities that are available to smart entrepreneurs in today's market. This is a great way to start the year. LINKS We thank our Special Episode sponsor Stephens Rickard: https://www.stephensrickard.com/

How do you price the political risk of the second Trump term and America's imperial decline from democracy to autocracy? In this podcast, Michael Moran, veteran foreign correspondent turned political risk consultant, takes a realistic look at what the second Trump term will mean for America's relations with the world. He also discusses the greatest source of instability and risk at the present moment. Give us 45 minutes to explain.

Political risk is one of the most unquantifiable aspects of investing — and one of the most consequential. Shifts in regulation, tax and trade policies can shake economies and upend asset prices. Our guest today is economist Larry Hatheway, who argues that markets vastly underestimate the dangers of a second Trump presidency. And in today's Dumb Question of the Week, we ask: Are trade deficits a problem? --- Thank you to Raisin UK for sponsoring this episode.

Jason expressed his happiness about the recent election results, predicting a positive impact on the economy. He announced a town hall meeting with various guests, including Robert Helms, Ken Mcelroy, George Gammon, and Russell Gray, to discuss the election and its implications. Jason also shared a Redfin report indicating a significant increase in renter households, which he believes will lead to a rise in asset prices.

Oct 1, 2024 – FS Insider speaks with Cristian deRitis, Deputy Chief Economist at Moody's Analytics, on the big picture outlook for the US economy, US consumer, inflation, potential impact from Fed rate cuts, the upcoming election, and much more...

Jonathan Treussard, founder of Treussard Capital Management says "we haven't seen this much geo-political static on the horizon in at least a generation," raising real concern about how a laundry list of global boiling points could hit home. He says those risks overhang a market that looks like it can avoid a downturn for a while with the Federal Reserve looking like it can deliver a soft landing. Catherine Collinson, president of the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies looks at the group's latest research into the state, outlook and retirement readiness of the American middle class and, in the Market Call, Manny Weintraub, principal at Cannell & Spears, talks about his unending search for "super great stocks that won't kill you."

Jason discusses the perceived under attack situation in the United States, particularly for the middle class, and suggested that a potential action step for his listeners is to sell their homes. He also emphasized the importance of mobility and adaptability in the face of political and economic uncertainties, and raised concerns about the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI). Lastly, he criticized the censorship pressure from the Biden administration on Facebook and announced a master class on Wednesday at noon Pacific time, which would cover topics such as offshore planning and asset protection. Then Jason and Megan finish their conversation. They discuss the challenges self-employed individuals face when applying for mortgages, as banks are skeptical about income verification, requiring detailed profit and loss statements. Megan points out that many small business owners struggle with bookkeeping, further complicating the process. She also highlights rising home insurance costs, especially in states like California, driving up expenses for landlords, which are eventually passed on to tenants through higher rents. Jason adds that despite these challenges, Millennials and Gen Z are set to inherit $85 trillion, the largest wealth transfer in history, potentially offering financial relief for future generations. Megan closes out with lessons from former president Gerald Ford on how to build wealth by "not being afraid of the pivot." #SelfEmployed #MortgageChallenges #RealEstateInvesting #HomeInsuranceCrisis #WealthTransfer #Millennials #GenZ #LandlordLife #FinancialStruggles #SmallBusiness #RentIncreases #PersonalFinance #FutureGenerations   Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:32 Political Risk: the middle class is under attack 7:20 Ai scientist running its own experiments 10:04 Tweet: Take a stand together and Zuckerberg's confession 13:15 Join our Zoom Masterclass: Unlock Global Freedom JasonHartman.com/Wednesday Megan Gorman interview part 3 15:12 Passing it on to the tenants 17:28 Building the middle class 20:15 We could have a president who didn't go or finish college 22:52 Reshaping our institutions 24:18 Lessons from Gerald Ford: He was never afraid of the Pivot   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

Lee Hardman, Senior Currency Analyst, and Jack Greenslade from the Global Customer Marketing Group, discuss the latest central bank policy updates in Europe. Will the policy updates alter European currency performance ahead of the upcoming French elections? 

Today's podcast is all about the insurance of political risk and violence and we are going to come at this subject from all angles. This episode is intended to be an all-round masterclass for anyone with an interest in these fascinating and fast-growing specialist lines of business. Is the world a riskier place and are risks going to remain insurable? And where is most of the new demand of the coming decades going to be coming from? All is examined in detail. Much has been made of the exceptional number of elections taking place in global democracies in 2024 as another possible source of political complications and conflict. Africa has also been highlighted as a potentially huge new source of demand, driven by the global transition to net zero carbon emissions and this goal's need for the rare earth metals that are to be found in abundance in many of its Southern and Eastern States. But it's no secret that many of Africa's most mineral-rich nations with the largest development potential are also places where political stability can be in short supply. For this reason, I talk to Lara Wolfe, Senior Sub-Saharan Africa Risk Analyst at risk consultancy BMI, which is part of the Fitch Group. (Pictured Top) This market sounds like the ideal territory for brave underwriters to be operating in and this is where the expertise of Roddy Barnett (Pictured bottom), Head of Political Risks and Trade Credit at Beazley is invaluable. Finally, with the help of Beazley's Head of Political Risk and Violence Claims, Alex Hill, (pictured middle) we'll learn how the political risk product actually works on the. I am very pleased with how this first thematic documentary-style podcast has turned out – I do hope you enjoy it and find it useful. NOTES: Here's the link to the Navigating political risk in an era of heightened global tensions report: https://www.beazley.com/en-US/news-and-events/geopolitical-risk-snapshot-2024 There's a great summary, but I highly recommend downloading and reading it in its entirety.

France's leading CAC 40 stock index made small gains at the open this Tuesday after suffering its worst week of trading since March 2022. As FRANCE 24's Bryan Quinn explains, the fallout from President Emmanuel Macron's decision to call snap elections continues to be felt across the country's business landscape, with many companies holding off on big decisions until after the polls. Also in this edition, Toyota's shareholders vote to keep Akio Toyoda as chairman despite a certification fraud scandal.

Recent college protests and upcoming political elections raise potential risks and escalate business leaders' concerns about growing violence, said Beazley Focus Group Leader Lucy Straker and Head of North American commercial property Matthew Westhoff.

We see five key overlapping themes for the year ahead. In this episode, we explore the theme of geopolitical reordering.   National interest objectives will influence reordering of relationships between countries and in multilateral forums, impacting global challenges, flows of trade, and investment. An important indicator underlying the direction of these risks in 2024 will be the outcomes of more than 70 scheduled elections — half of which will be presidential elections. The outcomes will have major implications for policy direction and priorities.   Download the complimentary strategic report, 2024: A disjointed world: https://www.spglobal.com/marketintelligence/en/mi/Info/1123/2024-disjointed-world.html   Speakers: Laurence Allan Head of the Europe/CIS Insights and Analysis, S&P Global Market Intelligence Kristen Hallam Lead Content Strategist, S&P Global Market Intelligence

This episode is a joint podcast that is being made available on both the ARC Energy Ideas and Disruptors podcast channels. John, Jackie, and Peter discuss sustainable finance and Canada's dearth of capital spending on energy transition and decarbonization.  Questions covered during the podcast: Is the lack of a national taxonomy that defines what projects count as clean, green, and sustainable slowing investment? Should decarbonization projects, including reducing emissions from oil and gas, be included in the definition of sustainable finance?  What are the barriers to increasing private spending on Canadian clean energy projects? Considering the situation, is Canada's 2030 emissions reduction goal achievable? To what extent are upcoming elections in the United States, Canada, and Europe slowing down clean energy investing?Content referenced in this podcast:RBC's “Sustainable Finance Framework” a document that outlines the bank's approach and methodology for sustainable financeRBC's “Climate Action 2024” an annual report on Canada's net zero journeyRBC's Disruptors podcast hosted by John Stackhouse, also on podcast apps like Apple Podcasts and SpotifyPlease review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/  Check us out on social media:  X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute  Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsGoogle PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

2023 was a year of recovery, giving the air of a return to normal. Unfortunately, normal for supply chains means guiding operations through the middle of a storm of potential disruptions. Some are already visible, including the knock-on from conflict in the Middle East and the prospect of a renewed wave of trade protectionism. Others will emerge by surprise.   Our experts discuss the prospects for trade and supply chains in 2024, with topics including: Physical operations present the biggest challenges, with conflict in the Middle East and climate change disrupting shipping networks. The prospect of accidents in the South China Sea triggering further challenges cannot be ruled out. Labor strikes may generate further friction. Politics introduces a renewed round of uncertainty thanks to widespread elections. The rise of protectionism and retaliation which got underway in 2023 may spread in 2024 with the real impact only coming in 2025. The cost of environmental policies may widen and rise. More positively there's the prospect of new trade deals ahead. Supply chain and trade activity will stabilize and should recover, particularly in hard-hit non-AI electronics. Decision-makers can prepare by investing in resilience and agility, but it appears investments in risk mitigation alone aren't being prioritized with the result that firms may be sleep-walking into the next round of disruptions.

This victory poses new challenges in balancing economic, energy, and geopolitical dynamics, particularly with China. And finally, we will bring you an update on Germany's climate and energy budget, which faced a legal challenge, resulting in a significant funding cut.

Chinese Communist Party leaders have said that China doesn't have a drug problem, but that's only because the CCP makes sure it doesn't have a drug problem. They don't mind, however, if the US and other countries China opposes have a drug problem. In this episode of China Unscripted, we discuss how China is silently winning the opium war with the US, how China is taking advantage of the US push for electric vehicles, and how US politicians are being controlled by Chinese money. Joining us in this episode is Anders Corr, the publisher of the Journal of Political Risk and principal at Corr Analytics. He's also the author of the book The Concentration of Power: Institutionalization, Hierarchy, and Hegemony.

Even in our increasingly global economy, it‘s something that doesn't happen very often — but when it does, can cause a cascade of both financial and logistical challenges: a trade embargo. And although this story may seem ripped right from today's headlines, it actually unfolded almost 10 years ago, when Russia enacted an embargo against several western nations back in 2014. On this episode of Wheel of Risk, presented by Allianz Trade, host Alix McCabe is joined by Joe Pernica, the Chief Operating Officer of Ronald A. Chisholm Limited, which had more than $10 million worth of meat en route to a customer in Russia when the embargo came down. It could have been a devastating blow for the Toronto-based company, but thankfully Chisholm was prepared for just such an eventuality. Alix and Joe will also hear from Steve Georgetti, Director of Risk Underwriting for the Americas at Allianz Trade, who explains what other companies can learn from Chisholm's story, and which red flags to watch out for to avoid ending up in a similar situation. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
