Christopher McKee Biography

Christopher McKee, PhD, is an international political economist, private equity investor, bond trader, entrepreneur, and author with a career focused on the intersection of geopolitics and global finance. McKee serves as CEO and owner of The PRS Group Inc., where he leads the International Country Risk Guide, overseeing a team that delivers geopolitical risk data and analysis to institutional investors, central banks, transnational firms, multilateral organizations, and universities. He holds a doctorate in international political economy from Queen's University in Canada and has extensive experience in geopolitical risk, limited recourse financing, and private sector development.

The PRS Group is a quant-driven geopolitical risk rating and forecasting firm with a history spanning more than four decades. The company covers 140 developed, emerging, and frontier markets, providing political risk, asset valuation, and litigation support services. Originally part of Frost & Sullivan and later Informa, the firm has been profiled in Barron's, Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, and CNBC. Its proprietary methodologies include Political Risk Services and the International Country Risk Guide.

McKee is a former faculty member at the University of British Columbia. During his academic tenure, he operated a country risk consultancy for natural resource extraction firms with interests in emerging markets and later conducted due diligence assessments for limited recourse financing projects in the mining and oil and gas sectors. He has lived and worked in Latin America, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Europe, and is recognized as an authority in country risk assessment by Canadian judicial authorities and international organizations.

McKee is co-author and co-editor of "Quid Periculum? Measuring & Managing Political Risk in the Age of Uncertainty," which explores approaches to understanding and managing modern political risk, including forecasting techniques and empirical findings affecting asset prices. He is also the author of "Treaty Talks in British Columbia," which examines the origins and development of treaty negotiations in the province, providing an overview of the treaty process and related jurisprudence.

McKee's presentations focus on global affairs, emphasizing the influence of political and country risk on political behavior, economic and market dynamics, and the performance of major asset classes such as equities, bonds, and currencies. He addresses the impact of political and country risk in developed, emerging, and frontier markets and has been interviewed or quoted by publications including Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Bloomberg, Reuters, Institutional Investor, and Euromoney, as well as appearing on CNBC. McKee has spoken to audiences ranging from academic institutions to institutional investors and multinational business and trade associations.
