CMS BONDEDGE FIXED INCOME WORKSHOP A SUCCESS
Record High Attendance Amid Current Levels of Market Uncertainty

Los Angeles, April 30, 2003 – CMS BondEdge, an operating division of Interactive Data Corporation (NYSE: IDC) and a leading provider of fixed income portfolio analytics, today announced that this year's conference series, hosted in Los Angeles in March, and last week in New York and Chicago, yielded the best conference attendance to date in more than ten years of hosting the event. The event drew 350 portfolio managers from institutional investors in the banking, insurance, money management, pension fund, mutual fund and broker dealer markets. The New York event was held on April 22nd at the New York Marriott Financial Center; the Chicago event took place at the Chicago Athletic Club on April 24th.

Session topics addressed a variety of pertinent fixed income issues such as increased volatility (Modeling and Managing Credit Risk, MBS Markets and Prepayment Modeling, Volatility and Market Risk Factors), forecasting and explaining returns (Understanding Tracking Error, Simulations in BondEdge, Performance Attribution and Measurement), and factors that determine quantitative modeling techniques (Term Structure Modeling, Monte Carlo Simulations).

President of CMS BondEdge, Laurie Adami, revealed plans for major business initiatives for the remainder of 2003 in her keynote speech. Highlights include expanded credit risk portfolio level analytics, enhanced historical portfolio analytics, several additional mortgage prepayment models (including links to 3rd party vendors), and transaction analysis which soon will incorporate pre-trade batch processing, links to trade order systems, and the post-trade effects.

An open forum discussion with a panel of key senior management took place during lunch in all three cities, with the majority of questions and follow-up discussion centering around credit risk tools, and the increased need for additional information, such as tracking issuer risk versus its peer group and historical trend analysis between the equity, cash credit and credit default swap markets.
