Aug 05, 2008 -- Interactive Data Corporation (NYSE: IDC), a leading
provider of financial market data, analytics and related services,
today announced that its Pricing and Reference Data business has
expanded its interest rate swap valuation service by adding 3 p.m. ET
valuations, as well as independent valuations for compounding swaps,
and certain historical valuations for interest rate and credit default
swaps.
Interactive Data's interest rate swap valuation service assists clients
by providing information they can use to efficiently value their
portfolios containing these over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives. The
Company currently offers interest rate swap valuations in six major
currencies and estimates that its coverage includes approximately 95%
of the total notional amount of interest rate swaps outstanding. The
International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) found that the
notional amount of interest rate derivatives outstanding (which include
interest rate swaps) rose 34 percent year-over-year to $382.3 trillion
at the end of 2007.
"As more investment portfolios contain interest rate swaps, we've
expanded the capabilities of our valuation service to respond to client
demand for a broad range of independent valuations," said Shant
Harootunian, managing director of evaluated services, Interactive Data
Pricing and Reference Data. "Our new 3 p.m. interest rate swap
valuations are synchronized with the corporate bond evaluations we
currently produce, and they complement our end-of-day valuations for
this asset class. Accounting firms and hedge fund processors have also
identified historical valuations for interest rate and credit default
swaps as critical for monitoring client positions, as they need to
retrieve valuation levels reflecting the previous end of month. We also
added compounding swaps to enable clients to obtain valuations on
interest rate swaps with nontraditional structures."
"As investment portfolios become more diverse and complex, there is a
heightened need for independent valuations of growing numbers and
categories of hard-to-value financial instruments," said Stephen Bruel,
analyst, Securities & Capital Markets for TowerGroup. "In addition, we
believe that market data providers who can automate the process for
delivering valuations for a broad range of OTC derivatives and
evaluations on millions of fixed income securities will continue to
experience high demand for their products and services."
The interest rate swap valuation service offers user-friendly asset
setup screens and the ability to upload trade data and download output
files which can help limit the occurrence of manual input errors.
Interactive Data provides current and historical valuations for a wide
variety of alternative investments including: fixed-for-floating
interest rate swaps (including forward starting swaps); as well as
third party valuations for syndicated bank loans; single name credit
default swaps (CDS); and CDS trades linked to the Markit CDX and
iTraxx(R) families of indices. Historical valuations for interest rate
swaps are available going back to June/December 2007 based on the
currency of the swap, and are also available for credit default swaps
for recent trading days and month-ends.
