Henley & Partners, in collaboration with AlphaGeo, has launched the Global Investment Risk and Resilience Index, a new analytical tool designed to assess how countries balance their exposure to global risks with their capacity to adapt and recover.

The index measures countries’ exposure to geopolitical, economic, and climate risks, alongside their resilience capacity, offering a data-driven assessment of national stability and opportunity. According to the developers, resilience — often found in smaller, more agile economies — is emerging as a main driver of global competitiveness and sustainable growth.

Tailored for investors, families, and governments, the Index provides a framework for navigating today’s complex global challenges, including inflation, armed conflict, climate instability, and rapid technological change. By merging risk exposure and resilience metrics into one comprehensive score, the tool highlights markets that are best positioned to preserve wealth and foster long-term value.
