State Street enters arrangement with GeoQuant for geopolitical risk insights

State Street entered into an arrangement with GeoQuant to make available geopolitical and country risk indicators produced and calculated by GeoQuant in State Street’s own macro strategy research. The GeoQuant indicators measure and predict political risk daily and systematically with a fusion of PhD-level political and computer science. The full suite of GeoQuant’s indicators are available on a subscription basis exclusively from GeoQuant. GeoQuant is also developing, with input from State Street, a new indicator designed to capture the links between geopolitical risk and market risk. The GeoQuant indicators and commentary will be made available via the Global Markets Insights platform, which provides clients data-driven indicators and investment ideas derived from high-frequency inflation, media sentiment and investor flows, informed by data from State Street’s position as a servicer to $37.6T in assets as of March 31, 2023.
