OREANDA-NEWS. National Rating Agency has affirmed its 'AA' reliability rating on RUSS-INVEST OJSC Investment Company (RUSS-INVEST).

The affirmation is driven by RUSS-INVEST's long track record of operations in financial markets, experienced and high-skilled management team, good-quality and well-diversified assets and high transparency. The rating also factors in the considerable profit increase in 2014 compared with 2013, and the company's strong capitalization.

The rating is constrained by the company's overly reliance on proprietary trading activities, and its assets' exposure to market risks that affect the financial performance.
