Our Proprietary Approach

As a leading provider of evaluated pricing and related services, we're uniquely positioned to deliver this ground-breaking service. Our innovative approach combines both system and human analyses to generate a continuous stream of fixed income evaluations that processes and incorporates market data throughout the day.

Our approach is rooted in the judgment and expertise of our evaluation team and does not rely solely on black box models.

Here’s how continuous evaluated pricing is performed:

  • Evaluators map out the characteristics of the securities and data sources in their assigned sectors
  • Automation tools drive evaluation changes continuously as market data is processed and alert evaluators to outliers in the data
  • Evaluators review exceptions and apply various tools to resolve outliers, including, as appropriate, application of market knowledge and information obtained through market contacts and/or based on evaluator experience
  • The pattern of alerts is examined regularly to help adapt the alert configurations to ever-changing market conditions
