The OAS model, combined with Deutsche Bank's prepayment model, seeks to provide market participants with a standard, accurate way to value these securities in the current low interest rate environment, according to the companies.
“The Bloomberg OAS model enables users to generate future interest rate paths using methods that significantly reduce the risk of negative rates,” the companies said in a press release Monday.
“Using advanced mathematical techniques it allows users to preserve a wide range of possible outcomes while using only 256 interest rate paths, providing real-time results in seconds.”
