PolyPaths is thrilled to be attending the 2019 MBA National Secondary Conference in Times Square from May 19 to 22! PolyPaths offers a versatile, easy-to-use, fixed income analytics solution with uncompromising analytical rigor. To learn more about our product, reach out to sales@polypaths.com to schedule a meeting. We’ll be at Booth 408 so please stop by!

The PolyPaths fixed income platform provides a solution designed with the requirements of modern bank stress testing, including CCAR and DFAST (Dodd-Frank Act Stress Test) supervisory scenarios published by the Federal Reserve. Using the PolyPaths system, market value and risk can be calculated across these or any scenario defined using our flexible framework. Scenarios can be defined based on shifts to many common spreads and term structures used in fixed-income analysis including yield curves, volatility surfaces, current coupon term structures, and pricing spreads (OAS). Calculations and reports can be generated ad-hoc or scheduled using our command-line utility or Enterprise add-on.

PolyPaths now supports Equity Options as of version 7.09. Users may load Equity Options into their portfolio from Bloomberg or by manually modeling them. Risk analysis such as interest rate durations and volatility durations as well as horizon analysis and other stress tests may be performed on Equity Options through PolyPaths. One potential use case for equity derivatives, for instance, may be to hedge a portfolio to improve the risk-return profile.

New to PolyPaths version 7.09 is a generalized current coupon framework which allows users to integrate many commonly-used current coupon functional forms without the need to program a fully-custom current coupon model. Examples of the features currently supported through this framework include reversion of secondary rates to a long-term spread, dynamic primary-secondary spread functions, and embedded caps and floors on spreads.
