Quantrix Expands Modeling Interface for Andrew Davidson & Co. Inc.’s LoanDynamics™ Mortgage Loan Analysis Model

PORTLAND, ME – February 10, 2009 – Quantrix today announced that it has developed an extended interface to Andrew Davidson & Co. Inc.’s (AD&Co’s) LoanDynamics™ Mortgage Credit Model. The new interface enables model users to benefit from AD&Co’s recent interface to the INTEXdesktop™ system by accessing all data from one platform, viewing them through multiple dimensions and scenarios, and analyzing and understanding the risk profile of the underlying collateral. AD&Co is a leading provider of risk analytics and consulting services for fixed-income investors in the mortgage- and asset-backed securities industry. Intex Solutions provides structured fixed-income deal model libraries and cashflow generation software. Quantrix delivers business modeling and analytics software and services to customers in 50 countries.

In June of 2007, Quantrix announced an interface to AD&Co’s LoanDynamics™ Model, a financial tool that incorporates historical data from millions of loans to help investors and issuers better understand characteristics of credit-sensitive mortgage loans and securities. AD&Co continues to expand the capabilities of its LoanDynamics™ Model, including its recent integration with INTEXdesktop, which provides access to single security and portfolio analytics on any of the 20,000+ deals modeled by Intex. The new Quantrix interface provides users with a single platform so that they can work from the LoanDynamics™ Model, directly access the Intex data on credit risk for US residential mortgages, and use Quantrix to analyze and model them in multiple dimensions and from multiple views.
“Investors are digging deeper to understand the characteristics of mortgage loans. They want more analytics, want to understand what drives the analytics, and need to verify the underlying data and assumptions,” says Rob Landauer, Director of Business Development, Andrew Davidson & Co., Inc. “The Quantrix interface will streamline the vetting of the LoanDynamics™ Model – users will have all of the information available via one platform, can process it in one step, and toggle back and forth between views. The interface is clean, quick, and fast.”
“Traditional technology cannot accommodate the data- and scenario-intensive requirements of today’s mortgage-backed securities market. Investors need the power of multidimensional business modeling and analytics to understand the complex risk profiles and underlying data,” says Chris Houle, CEO of Quantrix. “Quantrix Modeler enables users to use one, integrated platform to harness data from Intex and AD&Co and make investment decisions with more confidence.”

Quantrix Modeler’s multidimensional business modeling and analytics software enables financial professionals to break away from the restrictions of spreadsheet technology to develop forecasts, budgets, and strategic plans of the highest integrity, flexibility, and transparency. Quantrix Modeler can be quickly deployed throughout the enterprise while integrating with existing data sources and applications.  Quantrix is often an integral part of an organization’s strategy for improving financial performance.
