Increased Minority Ownership Stake Furthers Growing Commitment to the Risk and Compliance Market

NEW YORK, Nov. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Dow Jones today announced it has expanded its ownership stake in Ripjar, a global leader in data intelligence software. This strategic investment reflects Dow Jones’s ongoing commitment to providing leading-edge AI to the risk and compliance community. The move is the latest in a series of investments and initiatives that have helped transform Dow Jones to become a leading information service provider.

Since its founding, Ripjar has pioneered new technologies to protect financial firms and enterprises from the rising threat of money laundering, fraud, cyber crime and terrorism. Dow Jones has partnered with Ripjar since 2018 to deliver advanced risk screening and monitoring solutions to thousands of compliance customers. It first announced an equity investment in Ripjar in 2023.

“It’s our mission to deliver the world’s most trusted journalism, data and analysis to help people make decisions.

Dow Jones’s executive vice president and general manager of Risk & Research Joel Lange will work closely alongside Ripjar’s newly appointed CEO Tom Obermaier and majority investor Long Ridge Equity Partners to grow its operations internationally, as well as supporting new and existing customers to navigate a complex compliance landscape.

With this increased stake, Dow Jones reinforces the importance of this long-standing partnership while strengthening its own position at the forefront of innovation.
