Bloomberg, a global leader in business and financial data, analytics and news, has launched a new set of geopolitical risk scores for 7 million companies.
The tool, developed in collaboration with Seerist, delivers unprecedented transparency into political and security-related threats at the country level.
This new offering addresses a longstanding issue for investors and risk managers: the lack of timely, actionable geopolitical risk data. Traditionally, risk professionals were left to manually comb through fragmented sources, including news and social media, or operate without a full view of country-specific threats impacting portfolio companies.
Bloomberg is known for its powerful financial tools, particularly the Bloomberg Terminal, which provides real-time data, analytics and insights to finance professionals globally. The firm also offers data licensing for enterprise-wide integration.
The new product delivers company-level geopolitical risk scores by integrating Seerist’s proprietary threat intelligence with Bloomberg’s robust reference data. It identifies 29 categories of risk—ranging from political and operational to cyber and maritime—affecting the countries where companies operate. These scores are cascaded down to relevant equities and bonds, giving users a clear view of exposure.
Seerist’s threat intelligence is powered by PulseAI, which delivers daily Country Stability Scores and expert-driven risk ratings. These scores are generated by more than 200 analysts from Control Risks, Seerist’s strategic partner. Together, they assess how emerging risks could disrupt business operations across the globe.
The integration enables users to analyse companies not just by their registered address, but by their true country-of-risk, and further enrich insights with supply chain, physical asset, and sectoral data. The result is a highly detailed, scalable framework for geopolitical risk assessment that spans public and private companies.
Bloomberg global head of risk & investment analytics products Zane Van Dusen said, “Geopolitical risks unfold like a complex game of chess – everything can change with a single move, requiring investors to rapidly reassess and adapt to what’s happening on the board. From political and operational disruptions to security and cybersecurity threats, our collaboration with Seerist enables investors to quickly quantify the business impact of fast-moving risks and integrate that intelligence into their workflows.”
Seerist chief product officer Tim Roots said, “Seerist brings clarity, speed and actionable threat intelligence to investment decisions through AI analytics and expert human insights.
“Through our work with Bloomberg, we are applying a company-specific lens to our geopolitical data at a significant scale, equipping investors with geopolitical risk metrics and threat forecasts that intelligence professionals and government agencies trust and rely on to protect their people, operations and assets.”
