Technology
Our approach is based
on a PDE (Partial Differential Equation) algorithm which
is extremely accurate and very quick. The numerical
algorithm was designed by a mathematics Professor at the
University of Chicago. The algorithm takes into account
that as stock prices decline extremely low levels spreads widen
to account for increased default risk. The program has
"hooks" into the Bloomberg so loading a new bond is as
easy as pressing a button.
Availability
The program is available on many different
platforms (e.g. PC Windows, Excel, Unix Subroutine
and more).
