Charter Research Inc., Boston, has released a new version of Conquest, its bond pricing and analysis tool.The company said the new release is "an entirely new category" of commercial mortgage-backed security analytical tool. Michael A. Ervolini, president and chief executive officer of Charter Research, said the proliferation of CMBS deals has created a need for "a higher level of performance" from the software. He said the new release improves the ability to access and analyze transactions and offers "the ability to tie bond pricing to the credit of the properties underlying each loan comprising a CMBS loan pool, which we call credit-driven analysis."
