Giving clients the confidence to say 'yes' when everyone else says 'no', and to say 'no' when everyone else is unsure.

Emerging and frontier markets present varied commercial and investment potential that drive our clients to capitalize on these opportunities. These markets, however, also present risks emerging from non-transparent business practices, corruption, political manipulation, competing stakeholder interests, and various forms of criminality. In these markets, human-sourced intelligence can be critical to gaining the transparency needed to confidently develop a basis for important decisions.

West Sands has developed a unique analytical approach through the use of a multi-disciplinary human intelligence network, and innovative, contextualised outputs that assist clients to:

  • Navigate the realities of emerging and frontier markets, providing grounded insight on opaque situations.
  • Work market nuances to their advantage, and in the context of their business.
  • Gain transparency on business critical issues.
  • Gain transparency on environmental, social and governance issues, including ownership, power and control structures.
  • Gain competitive advantage by injecting intelligence that will streamline the targeting, planning and implementation of an investment or growth strategy.
  • Maximise strategic objectives through a bespoke intelligence framework.

'Insight and foresight', to help pre-empt and manage the impact of strategic and operational risk, are also provided to clients through the West Sands' analytical unit
