FT Interactive Data has added portfolio versus benchmark functionality and daily credit risk histories to its flagship fixed income portfolio analytics product, BondEdge.
The product's current risk analytics combine information from RiskMetrics' CreditGrades service with proprietary CMS BondEdge data.
Daily histories of prices, yields and option-adjusted spreads for corporate bonds on an individual holdings-basis are also now available, which allow for detailed trend analysis as well as bond-to-bond comparisons for relative value analysis.
Laurie Adami, president of BondEdge, comments, "The new reports, which provide credit risk results relative to a given benchmark, are essential for total return-oriented managers - especially given the current environment where idiosyncratic risk is so prevalent."
