BLK BlackRock Inc

BondEdge Solutions, an Interactive Data company and leading provider of fixed income portfolio management software, today announced the addition of BlackRock Inc.'s (NYSE: BLK) iShares® Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) to the BondEdge ETF Library.

"Insurance companies and other institutional asset managers are looking to implement portfolio strategies utilizing exchange traded funds," said Keith Webster, managing director, BondEdge Solutions. "Our clients have expressed the need for the ability to analyze ETFs in their portfolio analytics platforms. We are pleased to partner with a world-leading ETF provider to be among the first to offer a solution that incorporates ETF analytics capabilities and to help our clients manage portfolio risk more effectively."

The BondEdge ETF library will now include 35 iShares fixed income ETFs, which are updated on the BondEdge portfolio management platform on a daily basis. iShares ETFs can be incorporated into portfolio analytics reporting, total return simulations, and what-if analyses, to determine how transacting in these securities can affect overall portfolio risk levels and allocations. BondEdge clients can also view computed analytical measures on iShares ETFs, such as average effective duration, convexity, and option-adjusted spread, and can view an individual iShares ETF's underlying constituent holdings and allocation reports.

"We are excited to see that BondEdge has the ability to include Blackrock's iShares ETFs in its analyses and modeling," said Noaman Sharief, Portfolio Manager, Dana Investment Advisors. "We can now provide enhanced portfolio characteristics and analysis for our retail clients who utilize these products."
