RAM Group today announced the launch of RAM Analytics, (https://analytics.ram.com.my), a new platform offering industry-leading insights into credit and sustainability risks of companies. Harnessing the power of data analytics, the platform gives users quick access to an array of credit and sustainability risk rating services.

Backed by RAM’s three decades of expertise and analytical rigour, RAM Analytics opens into a broader universe that goes beyond bonds and sukuk. One key component is R1ESGo™, a suite of rating services that benchmarks environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks at various sectoral and company levels. Users will be able to obtain concise reports by RAM Sustainability Sdn Bhd with just a few clicks of the button.  

CreditSCAN™ is another featured service which provides quick general credit assessments of non-financial companies in the corporate and mid-market segments. Guided by RAM’s methodologies, publicly available information and independent research, CreditSCAN consolidate industry, business and financial risks into risk grades that are already industry standard. At a glance, users will also be able to view peer benchmarking and forecast scenarios of companies’ future performance.  

Thirdly, LECA™ Ratings is a bespoke rating service for licensed entities in the Labuan International Business and Financial Centre (IBFC). Developed in consultation with Labuan FSA, Labuan IBFC Inc and Labuan industry association groups, LECA™ enhances the transparency and resilience of Labuan IBFC as a premier mid-shore jurisdiction in Asia.  

“The launch of RAM Analytics is timely as digitalisation and data analytics are driving the way we consume information and do business. We want to be at the forefront of this pivotal transition – to not only help users better manage their risk, but also drive data democratisation in the digital age,” said Chris Lee, RAM’s Group Chief Executive Officer.

“RAM Analytics is powered by RAM’s proprietary tools and expertise in research, credit and ESG. The platform is thoughtfully designed so that anyone can quickly access information they need as well as purview our analytical insights. We look forward to adding more innovative services on the platform in the near future,” he added. 

The introduction of RAM Analytics marks a significant milestone as it is a key enabler in the Group’s strategy to future-proof its business and propel the company to its next stage of growth.   

“In recent years, we have taken steps to diversify our offerings whilst investing in technology and new businesses. We have also begun to integrate sustainability services into our core operations. 

“Today’s launch is an important part of our Group’s transformation roadmap, one that will further cement our position as a leading player in the Malaysian debt capital market and help us make significant inroads in the sustainability services space,” said Lee.
