RMS will be acting on behalf of Quantifi as a sales and marketing agent to financial institutions located in Japan, including banks, hedge funds, asset management companies and insurance firms. Quantifi currently has offices in New York and London and has plans for additional expansion into the Asia-Pacific market later this year.

"As the credit derivatives market continues to grow in Japan, we are excited to be partnering with RMS," says Rohan Douglas, Founder and CEO of Quantifi. "We are experiencing increased demand for independent market-validated pricing of structured credit products in the Japanese market and are confident that our partnership with RMS will significantly expand our existing presence in this region."

Hideo Tomita, President of RMS, says, "We are pleased to be working with the premier provider of solutions for the credit derivatives industry.
Japanese institutional investors are seeking a best-of-breed, independent solution for valuation of credit products. We believe this partnership will meet this demand by providing Japanese capital markets firms with access to the cutting edge tools and analytics being used by some of the largest buy- and sell-side institutions in the world."
