Private-Label RMBS
Trading and risk management analysis and analytics powered by RiskSpan’s proprietary tools and loan-level models
Boost trading profits and efficiency with Edge. Be ready to act when opportunities arise by pre-analyzing RMBS performance data and ranking cohorts. Confirm relative credit value against benchmarks; value bonds with loan-level forecasts and Intex-integrated cash flows and analytics; and infer current prices with filtered market color. Analyze new issue deals with precision by linking loan and CDI files. Lift portfolio returns over time by using Edge’s risk signals to informing reweighting and leverage.

Filter Offers Efficiently
by Pre-Analyzing History
Query Edge’s rich private-label RMBS database (loan-level performance since before the Financial Crisis) to rank cohorts so you have a cheat sheet when deals arrive.
For example, run 100 shelves and rank credit losses and prepay speeds
When you see a top-ranking shelf or loan type, use Edge to value the deal precisely; when you see a low-ranking cohort, don’t spend time
See Relative Credit Value
by Benchmarking Bond, Collateral
View a bond’s credit support and collateral composition and performance alongside user-selected benchmarks.
Compare bond credit support and thickness
Visualize relative collateral credit quality with loan attribute distributions and delinquency, default, severity and prepay rates plotted over benchmarks
Spot risk pockets with collateral composition visuals, like geographic concentration maps and FICO-LTV scatterplots with color scaling to flag loans with additional risky features
Secure committee approval sooner by exporting presentation-ready visuals
Buy bonds due for ratings upgrades and sell bonds nearing ratings downgrades by tracking stress-scenario losses
Determine appropriate capital levels to hold by tracking stress-scenario losses
