A Fitch Solutions/Portsmouth Financial Systems desktop application that offers loan-level analytics for the U.S. structured finance market will start with a focus on subprime, alternative-A and prime credit residential mortgage-backed securities.
Michael Megliola, chief executive officer of Portsmouth Financial Systems, Portsmouth, N.H., said the application differs from others offered in the market because it offers "more granular structured finance analytics at the loan, bond and deal level."
Users can define the parameters for the analytics in the application, which is called Deal View. These can include, for example, a comparison of prepayment and default rates for arbitrary loan pools, or interactive yield tables on a collection of loans, the companies said. They plan to add more asset classes to the application going forward.
