Vision
To help create a more sustainable financial and economic system.
Network Capital Economics was conceived in 2009 as an advisor to institutional investors. We have moved beyond this focus to develop a range of risk and technology applications for banks, insurers, regulators and other businesses working in complex environments.
Our career and business track record includes developing strategy for some of the biggest risk issues in insurance and capital markets over the past two decades.
We believe system understanding is critical to delivering outcomes for our clients. We have experience engaging in multiple jurisdictions, with businesses, regulators and innovators.
