AD&Co Integrates LoanDynamics With Intex

Andrew Davidson & Co., a New York-based provider of risk analytics for mortgage- and asset-backed securities, has announced the integration of its LoanDynamics credit model for U.S. MBS into the Intex desktop system. AD&Co said the integration combines a behavioral credit model with loan-level data with a cash flow and analytical engine through a single flexible interface to allow "quicker, more robust analysis and rich analytical detail." The LoanDynamics Model is already integrated into portfolio analysis systems from Polypaths LLC and FactSet Research Systems and is fully compatible with Intex Subroutines and Intex Wrapper for use through proprietary internal risk management, pricing, or valuation systems, the company said. The model was developed to help investors and issuers better understand the credit and prepayment characteristics of credit-sensitive mortgage loans and securities.
