Strategic Analytics, a provider of stress testing and forecasting solutions for retail lenders, has launched an internal division dedicated to providing solutions in Mortgage Risk Analytics. The Mortgage Risk Analytics division (MRA) will be led by Director Dale Cline, an industry veteran with more than twenty years of mortgage experience.
Strategic Analytics has said that the new division would offer retail lenders access to a mortgage loan-level database and forecasting technology. The division is expected to incorporate measures of origination quality, maturation effects and environmental factors into analytical tests that traditional roll-rate modeling methodologies cannot capture.
Further, Strategic Analytics’ MBS/ABS Securities Forecasting Service provides an opportunity for lenders to receive cash flow, CPR, CDR and loss severity projections, enabling them to price and trade mortgage assets. The firm has also claimed that Strategic Analytics’ software transforms data from one of the largest repositories of loan-level mortgage data (with more than 92% of the RMBS market) into usable business intelligence.
