Boutique Geopolitical Advisory

Navigate the intersection of geopolitics and capital.

Independent, incisive analysis for decision-makers operating at the fault lines of US–China competition, EU–China relations, and Europe's shifting political economy.

What We Deliver

Specialized advisory services grounded in deep regional expertise and a disciplined analytical framework.

Geopolitical Risk Assessment

Forward-looking risk mapping of US–China tensions, EU–China decoupling scenarios, and cross-strait contingencies — translated into actionable implications for your portfolio, supply chain, or market entry strategy.

European Political Economy

In-depth analysis of EU institutional dynamics, Franco-German alignment, EU fiscal integration, and the political economy of the green and digital transitions — from Brussels to Berlin, Paris to Warsaw.

Cross-Border Investment Strategy

Screening, due diligence, and regulatory-risk analysis for Chinese outbound investment into Europe, European market entry into China, and third-market cooperation opportunities across the Belt & Road footprint.

Bespoke Research & Briefings

Tailored memos, scenario exercises, and executive briefings crafted for boards, investment committees, and principals who need clarity — not noise — on the geopolitical questions that matter to their capital.

Where We Focus

Three theaters of competition and cooperation — each demanding distinct analytical lenses.

Pacific

US–China Strategic Competition

Technology decoupling, semiconductor export controls, Taiwan contingency planning, alliance dynamics in the Indo-Pacific, and the trajectory of US domestic consensus on China policy.

Eurasia

EU–China Relations

De-risking frameworks, EU anti-subsidy investigations, CAI prospects, BRI infrastructure competition, and the strategic triangulation between Washington, Brussels, and Beijing.

Brussels & Capitals

European Political Landscape

EU institutional dynamics post-enlargement debate, the rise of far-right parties, energy security architecture, defense industrial policy, and capital markets union progress.

Global

Sanctions & Export Controls

Multi-jurisdictional sanctions regimes (OFAC, EU, UK), dual-use technology controls, secondary sanctions risk, and compliance architecture for cross-border transactions.

Independent thinking. Deep expertise. A curated network.

"The briefing on EU foreign-subsidy regulation changed the way our investment committee evaluated Chinese-backed deals in Europe. The ability to translate dense regulatory text into investable conclusions is rare."
