ABOUT RAM
BUILT ON EXPERIENCE
DRIVEN BY RELATIONSHIPS
Founded in 2013, RAM brings together a small, senior team with decades of experience in the financial markets. We want our clients to benefit from that experience through a first-class service tailored to their individual requirements.
Every relationship is led directly by our principals — ensuring decisions are made by the people who know your requirements best.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND RAM
RICHARD EVANS
Founder
Richard began his City career in 1989 at the London Stock Exchange.
In 1994, he joined GNI Ltd, moving into its foreign exchange division shortly afterwards, where he went on to oversee sales and trading operations.
With more than 35 years of experience in financial markets, Richard brings extensive market knowledge and a wealth of practical experience to RAM.
He has always believed that successful client relationships are built on trust, accessibility and a genuine understanding of each client’s individual needs.
It’s an approach that remains at the heart of RAM today, where Richard particularly values the opportunity to work closely with clients and provide the kind of personal service that can sometimes be lost at larger institutions.
A PERSONAL APPROACH
MARK HENRY
Founder
Mark began his career in financial markets in 1993 at GNI Ltd, working as a futures broker on the floor of the London International Financial Futures Exchange (LIFFE).
With a degree in Economics, he subsequently moved into GNI’s research department, specialising in interest rate products and foreign exchange.
In 1997, Mark joined GNI’s foreign exchange team, focusing on OTC FX options. Since then, he has built extensive expertise in currency strategy, risk management and execution, holding senior management positions at a number of financial institutions along the way.
Mark brings a thoughtful, analytical approach to RAM, combining his technical knowledge and expertise with a commitment to finding practical solutions tailored to each client’s requirements.
Relationships matter. We believe clients should have direct access to experienced people who know their requirements and take the time to understand what matters to them.
HOW WE WORK
THE FINANCIAL MARKETS CAN BE COMPLEX,
YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR FINANCIAL PARTNER SHOULDN'T BE
BUILDING LASTING RELATIONSHIPS
At RAM, we believe managing currency exposure should be straightforward. Our experience and independence allow us to provide impartial advice and practical solutions tailored to each client's individual requirements.
From the beginning of a relationship, through trade execution and throughout the life of a transaction, we provide direct, personal support. Our aim is to simplify the process, reduce uncertainty and help clients manage their currency requirements with confidence.
01
WE LISTEN
Understanding your circumstances, priorities and objectives comes before recommending a solution.
02
WE THINK
We bring experience and a considered perspective to the decisions that matter.
03
WE STAY CLOSE
Personal contact and ongoing support from our principals remain central to our relationship.
INDEPENDENT EXPERTISE. ESTABLISHED INSTITUTIONS.
We do not hold client funds or operate client accounts ourselves. Instead, we work with carefully selected financial institutions, helping clients establish accounts with the counterparties best suited to their requirements.
RAM can act on a client's behalf at these institutions, providing advice and executing transactions while the financial institution handles account administration and settlement. We may also work alongside a client's existing banking arrangements.
COMPETITIVE PRICING. PERSONAL SERVICE.
Working with RAM does not mean paying more for expert advice and personal service. Our access to competitive wholesale pricing means that many of our clients benefit from improved exchange rates compared with those available through their existing arrangements.
Clients benefit from a consistent, experienced point of contact for currency advice, execution and ongoing risk management, combined with competitive pricing and the operational infrastructure of established financial institutions.
