Direct peers

• Eurasia Group: Eurasia Group is the leading global political risk advisory firm serving institutional investors and multinationals with geopolitical forecasting, consulting, and GZERO Media. It is the closest direct competitor to Signum: multiple Signum senior partners (Andrew Bishop, Jason Press, Annette Detmer Acar) are former Eurasia Group leaders, and the two firms target the same institutional client base with subscription research and policymaker access.
• S-RM: S-RM is a global intelligence and advisory firm providing political, security, and cyber risk services to corporates, investors, and law firms. It competes with Signum on political risk advisory delivered to institutional clients, though with a broader investigations and security posture.
• Hakluyt & Company: Hakluyt & Company is a strategic intelligence advisory firm serving senior corporate leaders with political, commercial, and policy insights. Like Signum, it operates as a boutique, relationship-led advisory serving C-suites with proprietary research and senior-level access.
• Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU): The EIU is the research and forecasting arm of The Economist Group, providing country-level political, economic, and policy analysis to enterprises, financial institutions, and governments. It competes with Signum in policy forecasting and country-risk research; Signum Senior Europe Analyst Nicholas FitzRoy is a former EIU practice head.
• Control Risks: Control Risks is a specialist risk consultancy delivering political, security, and integrity risk services to multinationals and financial institutions. It overlaps with Signum in political risk advisory for institutional and corporate clients, though it has a stronger operational security and investigations footprint.
• RANE (formerly Stratfor): RANE (which acquired and integrated Stratfor) provides geopolitical intelligence, risk analysis, and country reports to enterprises, investors, and legal clients. It directly competes with Signum in subscription political-risk research and forecasting for institutional customers.
• Oxford Economics: Oxford Economics provides global economic forecasting, modelling, and advisory services to corporates, investors, and governments. Signum staff (Stefan Griffiths, Nelson Da Graca) come from Oxford Economics, and the firms overlap in macroeconomic and policy analysis sold to institutional clients.
• Albright Stonebridge Group (now part of Dentons Global Advisors): Albright Stonebridge Group (now integrated into Dentons Global Advisors) is a geopolitical and commercial advisory firm serving multinationals and investors with cross-border policy advice. It is comparable in offering (policy advisory, country expertise, C-suite counsel) and institutional client focus to Signum.

Broad incumbents

• KPMG (Geopolitics practice): KPMG's geopolitical risk and geopolitical advisory services (within its advisory practice) deliver political and country-risk insights to multinational clients as part of a much broader professional services portfolio. Comparable to Signum in advisory content but operates as a generalist incumbent rather than a specialist boutique.

Others

• Chatham House (Royal Institute of International Affairs): Chatham House is a leading international affairs think tank producing policy research on global geopolitics, economics, and security. Signum's Global Head of Client Services (David Pagliaro) is a Chatham House alumnus; while Chatham House is non-commercial, it is an influential voice in the same policy-research ecosystem that Signum monetizes.
