CMS BONDEDGE ANNOUNCES LATEST CANADIAN BONDEDGE RELEASE
Includes new modeling technique for tracking error analysis

Los Angeles: May 15, 2002
CMS BondEdge, an operating division of Interactive Data Corporation (NASDAQ: IDCO), and a leading provider of fixed income portfolio analytics, today announced the release of Canadian BondEdge version 4.6. This latest version features a host of improvements specifically designed for the Canadian market. In addition to a new model for tracking error analysis, version 4.6 also includes expanded functionality for portfolios with non-Canadian dollar investments, as well as enhanced bond modeling capabilities to accommodate U.S. TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities).

Tracking error analysis, used by both North American and European portfolio managers to forecast the likely differences in return between a portfolio and chosen benchmark, has been well received. Teri Geske, senior vice president of product development, notes, "We have incorporated the Canadian sectors into our tracking error analysis, along with some of the latest risk measurement, such as the use of option-adjusted key rate durations to capture interest rate risks. This methodology goes beyond a more traditional yield curve ‘shift/twist’ approach.”

For the Canadian portfolio manager with non-Canadian dollar investments, version 4.6 includes portfolio what-if scenario capabilities with country and currency breakdowns, as well as portfolio simulations and cashflow testing functionality for multi-currency portfolios.

Laurie Adami, president of CMS BondEdge, comments, “The enhancements in Canadian BondEdge version 4.6 represent our firm commitment to meeting the unique needs of the Canadian fixed income marketplace. With the help of our long-time Canadian partner, RBC Capital Markets, we believe we are well-positioned to provide a superior fixed income portfolio analytics solution that has been tailored specifically for this market.”
