A lack of data-driven insight and trusted analysis means that many investors are regularly caught out by emerging political risks. Government instability, civil unrest and erratic policymaking can, and do, affect returns in emerging and frontier markets. But rising political risk is also making the traditionally stable markets of the West more volatile. Understanding what may happen next is critical.
