Questions
Common questions about how FrontPace works, the services it provides and the terms it operates under.
What does FrontPace do?
FrontPace advises governments, corporations and financial institutions on policy and strategy development and implementation. The firm also works in strategic brokerage of commodities and supports corporate clients in internationalisation.
What is strategic brokerage?
Strategic brokerage is the intermediation of commodity transactions on a spot or term contract basis, where the broker matches counterparties and structures the commercial terms. FrontPace's specialised personnel are active in strategic brokerage on both bases.
What is corporate internationalisation?
Corporate internationalisation is the process by which a company extends its operations into markets outside its home country, covering market selection, entry structure, local partnerships and regulatory requirements. FrontPace supports clients in developing and implementing these strategies.
Where does FrontPace operate?
The core group has active or completed engagements in 30 countries, concentrated across the Americas and Europe. Access to most countries in those regions is established through the firm's network.
How does FrontPace structure its engagements?
FrontPace works on a project-by-project basis according to principles of project syndication, forming a team for each mandate in cooperation with sector-relevant and specialised firms rather than staffing every engagement in-house.
Does FrontPace observe sanctions regimes?
Yes. FrontPace and its core resources adhere at all times to US OFAC and UK sanctions list regimes, alongside the published code of conduct above covering bribery, kick-backs, conflicts of interest and political contributions.
