MaKro is aiming to set a new standard in global macro analysis by combining predictive analytics with quantitative political and economic risk loss data to deliver best-in-class market insight and company-specific risk probabilities and loss estimates.
“MaKro’s combination of true data analytics and business loss data is in our DNA, not just an add-on,” says Dr Michel Léonard, CEO of MaKro. “When compared to our peers in global macro or political risk analysis, it is truly transformative and there is simply no equivalent to the depth and breadth of the data and analytics we deliver to our clients.”
While MaKro was launched in 2016, its predictive analytics services and solutions are the product of more than a decade of investments in global macro analytics by Jardine Lloyd Thompson, Alliant Insurance Services, and Alliant’s parent companies, The Blackstone Group and KKR.
Thomas Metzger, MaKro’s Managing Director for Business Development, says: “MaKro’s products come with a track-record of delivering customized solutions and the most actionable insights into risk assessment and mitigation in energy, manufacturing, commodities, finance and private equity.”
MaKro’s principals combine more than a century of expertise and experience in data science, risk analytics, intelligence policy and security with a broad network of senior sources in government, banking and business in the US and around the world. “MaKro’s key differentiator is its unrivalled aggregation of experienced scientists, risk analysts, business leaders and former military officers, from which it can fully leverage the power of its predictive analytics to deliver a distinct competitive advantage to its clients,” says Clark Petschek, MaKro Partner.
MaKro is a strategic partner of the PeaceTech Lab, an initiative of the US Government’s Institute of Peace. MaKro is supporting the establishment of the Lab’s global data hubs and is working through the Lab to bring US Government data and forecasting models to private sector clients.
“The concept of black, grey or white swan events is obsolete,” says Dr Léonard. “Today’s industry leaders understand that with the right data and risk analytics, events can be classified and forecasted and loss estimates generated. There’s no excuse for being caught by surprise.”
