PolyPaths v7.10 revamps the ability to perform time series analysis interactively in AppPort using data stored in the Enterprise database. Using this tool clients can easily visualize recent trends in both market data and their internal valuations. For example, market data such as the 30-year mortgage rate and the 10-year CMT rate can be plotted together to track their relationship through time. Clients can watch our webinar here to learn more.

Whether running loan-level and/or cohort-level analysis, we support static and option-adjusted valuations of mortgage servicing rights and their associated hedges. Our flexible cash flow model includes the standard set of income and fees, along with various customization options. In this webinar we also overview recent enhancements we have made to support forbearance-related adjustments. View the recording here.

With the low rate environment and permittance of negative rates in some interest rate models, we’ve received inquiries on both allowing and constraining negative rates in security valuation. For CMO floaters with embedded caps and floors, users can toggle our Ignore Index Cap/Floor field to allow index rates to go beyond any preset cap or floor. For Mortgage Servicing Rights, clients can optionally impose a floor on all floating servicing cash flow strips including T&I and P&I Float. In Scenario Analysis, our Floor Negative Rates option supports both non-negative and negative floors. Please reach out to us at support@polypaths.com for any help in restricting or relaxing negative rates as part of your analysis.
