BPAM: The Premier Source of Evaluated Prices and Data for the Malaysian Fixed Income Market

Meor Amri Meor Ayob, CEO of Bond Pricing Agency Malaysia, presents the valuation agency. As of today, BPAM stands as the premier source of evaluated prices and data for the Malaysian Fixed Income Market.

“Bond Pricing Agency Malaysia is the only bond pricing agency in Malaysia. We started in 2004. The business is all about information and information is not just a single point in time, but a series. Valuation yield curves require the provider to show proof that they have done the job properly for a period of time. We are a very young company. But if a new one comes in, they are going to compete against an incumbent which has 16 years of track record with 20 different product lines. As a subscriber to BPAM’s services, I am buying information and I need to make sure that information is correct and consistent. We have always operated on the notion that one day someone will come in, someone will really be brave enough to come in and put money on the table. But when you come in, you have to play against us. So, are you willing to take the risk? What makes it exciting for me is the fact that prior to us there was not a one stop center for such information. Everybody was using all kinds of sources of information. When they talked to each other and compared notes, their references were all different. We provide that consistency. We are in an industry whereby for the first time whatever services that were provided have never been seen before. No other industry gives you that opportunity. We are allowed to think outside of the box. In a few years, the bond market may not necessarily be our primary driver. It could be a different market, a different set of financial assets that we are assessing. We specialize in database, programming, and financial engineering. Our valuation is just an output of these three core things”, says Meor Amri Meor Ayob.
