RiskHR
RiskHR is a free tool developed by JMR Portfolio Intelligence. It is designed to provide investors with some insights into human rights problems in countries around the world, written from an investor's perspective.
What does RiskHR and human rights risk assessment matter to an investor?
In this global economy, public companies expand their markets and more importantly they expand their reach for more business opportunities. As a consequence, risks associated with problems in countries in which business operate proliferate. Cheap labor, untapped natural resources, trade with low cost manufacturers and service providers are proliferating. The potential for fallout from problems erupting in sovereign states remains an unending problem.
Without adequate insights into these problems, investors are exposed to risks associated with these otherwise unforseen problems.
At JMR Portfolio Intelligence, we believe that investors must be informed about this type of risk. More importantly, the markets must account for this information so that companies properly account for the internal risks associated with their global undertakings. |
