An entire spectrum of CDO products to help you with all your CDO analytics, whether for Cashflow CDOs or Synthetic CDOs.
CDS Accelerator is a desktop-based program that enables efficient quantification and analysis of the risk profiles of new and existing synthetic collateralized debt obligation (CDO) transactions. CDS Accelerator incorporates Standard & Poor's ratings criteria and CDS Xpress, allowing users to download relevant data and generate timely reports on CDO transactions.
CDO Evaluator offers a variety of benchmarks that enhance the scope and quality of CDO analysis. It can be used to analyze mixed pools of assets containing not only corporate and asset-backed securities (ABS) credits, but also emerging-market corporate credits.
CDO Evaluator EngineTM, the analytical engine that powers Standard & Poor's CDO Evaluator, is available as an application programming interface (API) that gives firms the ability to add powerful functionality directly to their own analytical applications. Users can seamlessly “call” the CDO Evaluator Engine, once it is installed and optimized, from their proprietary systems to perform Monte Carlo simulations required for in-depth analysis of a CDO portfolio’s credit quality – tranche by tranche, asset by asset.
CDO Interface® provides secure access to everything from Standard & Poor's CDO criteria, methodology, and indexes to analytical tools and deal-specific data. It's the only source you need to obtain the Standard & Poor's CDO resources your CDO market activity demands.
CDO Manager Focus provides an objective assessment of a collateral manager's ability to manage a specific type of collateralized debt obligation (CDO) portfolio. Its examination of key quantitative and qualitative factors can help investors identify managers who have the investment style and organizational capabilities needed for effective CDO portfolio management--a valuable benefit, since a manager's ability can have a dramatic impact on default rates, recoveries, paydowns, and equity return. CDO Manager Focus also gives collateral managers an effective way to distinguish themselves from their peers.
Hedge Fund Evaluator is a hedge fund securitization tool that incorporates Standard & Poor's criteria for modeling hedge fund performance. It allows analysts to develop securitization scenarios that incorporate Standard & Poor's analytic criteria, and tests far more quickly and easily than otherwise possible.
