RAM group chief executive and managing director Scott Kelly welcomed Doherty, saying he shares the same heritage and has significant experience in growing businesses in Australia, having held senior roles across the industry.

"His appointment will further strengthen our team as RAM continues to grow," he said.

Founded in 2010, RAM has more than $8.8 billion in assets under management.

Doherty commented he is "delighted to be joining RAM at such an exciting point in its growth.

"I've known Scott Kelly for many years and have always had enormous respect for what he and the team have built.

RAM Income Capital recently completed the close of its wholesale placement of RAM Secured Income Notes Tranche 2, which is listed on the ASX as RAMHA.

Some $125 million was raised against an initial target of up to $100 million.

"We've seen very strong demand from investors and brokers for a simple, lower-risk income product," Kelly said.

"The transaction was investor-led from the outset. Since listing in October 2025, RAMHA has consistently traded well in the secondary market relative to peers and met every scheduled distribution. That track record is one of the key drivers of the demand we saw for this placement."
