Our philosophy

Selective Clientele in Key Sectors

We advise a select and strictly limited group of clients in the energy, financial, industrial, and technology sectors.

Historical Insight

We believe that decision-makers today have an acute need for historical perspective.

Bespoke Over Commoditized

We believe that bespoke advice, based on real relationships, is superior to commoditized research.

Exclusivity Over Accessibility

We believe that a small, exclusive network is superior to a large, open-access one.

"Greenmantle is at the forefront of forecasting significant global trends and shifts. Our predictions are based on a meticulous analysis of current and historical data, combined with our team’s expertise in global affairs."
