Country Screening

Sanctions are economic and political tools that governments use to penalize countries or regions that breach international norms. The ultimate goal of sanctions is to initiate a change in behavior. As a part of due diligence and risk management activities, investors should understand which countries or regions are subject to sanctions in order to assess the potential impacts on bond and equity portfolios . Investors also require insight on whether countries are signatories to international conventions when investing in sovereign bonds or companies that conduct business in these regions.
