Old world, new order
Our work
Across the Asia-Pacific, geopolitical, regulatory, and commercial currents are converging in ways that are dramatically reshaping the business environment.
Meriwether & Co. was created to help investors and industry navigate this state of heightened complexity.
Core to our work is integrated cross-disciplinary thinking that draws on several distinct but overlapping domains of expertise:
Strategic commercial intelligence
Political affairs—inclusive of government relations, public policy, and geopolitical risk
Investment advisory and corporate strategy
Focused inquiry
Ask the right questions
We work with clients to manage discrete situations and issues.
The lines of inquiry we pursue are accordingly precise and targeted.
We do not undertake conventional, open-ended background research or ‘boil the ocean’ information collection exercises.
Instead, we collaborate closely with clients to identify core gaps in knowledge and understanding—and then move judiciously to address them.
Insight that is human
On the ground and embedded
As a first principle, our work is human-insight-led irrespective of situation, issue, or sector.
In an age where AI is democratizing the collection and analysis of open-source data, human networks stand to play an ever more privileged role in supplying business-critical foresight and perspective. This conviction underpins all of our work
Our network isn’t phoned in. It is the product of patient, painstaking, on-the-ground cultivation. Crucially, this helps ensure that our insights are both precise and ethically sourced.
Understand the local, navigate the global
A bifocal approach
To succeed in the Asia-Pacific, businesses must have a firm grasp on the micro and the macro.
We specialize in illuminating market-specific power dynamics while also accounting for geopolitical forces and their impact individual investments, trade flows and commercial operations—including reputational considerations stemming from foreign investors’ home markets and from capitals outside the Asia-Pacific.
