Geopolitical Risk Monitor on the Bloomberg Terminal {WSL COUNTRYRISK }
Historically, geopolitical risk data was unavailable or outdated, requiring investors to manually analyze news and social media for threats in the countries of their portfolio companies, or make investment decisions with an incomplete picture of their exposure. Bloomberg's collaboration with Seerist makes it possible for investors and risk managers to better quantify emerging and quickly changing global threats with data trusted by over 50 government agencies and leading corporate securities teams at more than 500 companies who rely on these insights to guard employees' safety and set strategic growth plans in new regions.
How it works
Seerist provides a daily Country Stability Score (PulseAI) and Risk Ratings across 29 categories monitoring changes within a country's political and security environment. This intelligence is built from Seerist's proprietary stability monitoring algorithms and risk ratings generated by over 200 political, security and cyber risk analysts from Seerist's Strategic Partner, Control Risks, measuring the business impact of key risks.
Bloomberg integrated Seerist's analytics with its best-in-class reference data and linked the resulting data set to every relevant company in Bloomberg's database—automatically mapping geopolitical risk factors to companies' countries of risk and cascading those scores down to their bonds and equities. Investors can now quickly assess both public and private companies based on their country of risk and take their analysis further by layering in supply chain and physical asset data, as well as sector data to determine which political risks are the most relevant.
'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,' said Zane Van Dusen, Global Head of Risk & Investment Analytics Products at Bloomberg. '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 brings clarity, speed and actionable threat intelligence to investment decisions through AI analytics and expert human insights,' said Tim Roots, Chief Product Officer at Seerist. '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.'

Porsche Plans More Cuts Amid Critical Sales Dip and Tariff Hit
Porsche is pumping the brakes According to a new report published by Bloomberg, German performance powerhouse Porsche is planning another round of sweeping cost cuts as it grapples with declining sales in key markets and the impact of U.S. tariffs. In a memo to Porsche employees seen by the financial publication, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume warned its employees that it will start negotiations on additional reductions during the second half of this year, noting that it is following through on a promise to find more cost savings after it let go of a significant number of employees. 'Our business model, which has served us well for many decades, no longer works in its current form,' Blume said. Porsche factory — Source: Porsche Porsche's latest moves come as it grapples with a complicated sales picture in some of its biggest markets. During the first half of 2025, Porsche sales in China, its biggest market outside the U.S., saw an eye-watering 28% percent dip during the first half of this year. The company attributed this shift to fierce competition in the luxury and electric-vehicle segments led by homegrown automakers like BYD. Despite this, Porsche Cars North America (PCNA) said earlier this month that it broke a sales record in its results through the first half of this year, as it saw retail deliveries of 38,696 vehicles through the first half of 2025. In a statement, Porsche Cars North America President and CEO Timo Resch attributed the 11.4% year-over-year increase to the 'passion' of its customers. 'Despite a volatile market, our sales remained strong and interest in our cars continued to grow, in large part because of the outstanding customer experience delivered by our Porsche Centers,' Resch said. 'Our commitment to choice is driving our success, with a mix of ICE, hybrid, and fully electric cars contributing to these results. While there may be uncertainty across many industries at the moment, it's been great to see that the passion amongst customers continues to thrive.' However, in its memo to Porsche employees, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume noted that President Trump's tariff-centric trade agenda would have a significant impact on its margins, as nearly all of its U.S.-bound vehicles are imported from the European Union. According to a July 18 report by the Financial Times, Trump is said to be pushing for a 15-20% minimum tariff on all goods imported from the EU. 'All of this is hitting us hard — harder than many other car manufacturers,' he said. Source: Porsche Porsche is already planning double-digit headcount cuts The new developments also come on the back of additional cost-cutting measures that it announced earlier this year. Back in February, Porsche announced that it was going to let go of 1,900 employees by 2030 in response to slumping EV demand and 'challenging geopolitical and economic conditions.' Specifically, it said that it plans to offer employees at Zuffenhausen and Weissach voluntary offers like early retirement and severance packages and will take a 'restrictive approach' to new hires in an effort to reduce staffing numbers by 15% by 2029. Final thoughts According to a new report by the Financial Times, President Trump plans to keep EU car sector tariffs at 25%, even if the bloc and the Trump administration work out a trade deal. Currently, the administration is said to be willing to work out a minimum 10-15% tariff on all EU-imported goods. Given that nearly all Porsche models sold in the United States are imported from factories in EU member states, the impact of tariffs alone could have serious implications for its bottom line if they do not raise prices or take any proactive actions.
