OREANDA-NEWS. December 29, 2010. The Expert Ranking Agency (Expert RA) has conducted a research on credibility and quality of the services offered by Troika Dialog Asset Management (hereafter – AM), and updated the company’s ranking position as A++ meaning ‘Exceptionally high level of credibility and service quality’.

The high ranking was secured by the high level of investment process and risk management as well as excellent indicators of asset management efficiency. “Within this year Troika Dialog has seen changes in management which became the basis for further company’s development focused on the work with international finance markets in particular, says Pavel Mitrofanov, Director of Corporate and Investment Rankings, Expert RA. Moreover, the Agency registered high profitability index (ROE = 13.9% and ROA = 12.7% on 31.12.2009). Low infrastructure risks (the company partners with 6 special depositaries) and the company’s leading position in the trust management market (6th place in Asset Management and 3rd place in trust management investment and other trust management activity, on 30.09.2010) are also counted among the positive indicators.

“The Expert RA rating indicates once again that there is a significant demand for the services provided by Troika Dialog Asset Management and that our products meet the requirements of a wide selection of investor categories," said Anton Rakhmanov, Managing Director at Troika Dialog. "In 2010 we continued to modify our products range and launched some new products offering new opportunities to our clients. Investors welcomed all of these changes and innovations. The revival trend on Russia’s collective investments market is growing ever stronger, due to factors such as the continued undervaluing of the Russian market versus other world platforms and the lowering of absolute rates on bank deposits.
With our strong belief in Russia’s collective investments market and its mid-term prospects, we perceive tremendous investment potential in Russia’s equity instruments."
