IDC Interactive Data Corp.

CMS BondEdge, a division of Interactive Data Corporation (NYSE: IDC) and a leading provider of fixed income portfolio analytics, today announced an agreement to fully integrate the CMS BondEdge structured finance cash flow library with MG-ALFA (R), an actuarial asset/liability management system developed by Milliman, Inc. Mutual clients will be able to generate and retrieve cash flows for any of the 11,000 active CMO/ABS/CMBS deals modeled by CMS BondEdge from within MG-ALFA. Laurie Adami, president of CMS BondEdge, commented, "We are very pleased to be working with Milliman in order to provide a more robust and fully integrated cash flow testing solution to the insurance industry. This new offering is a timely, direct response to insurance regulatory initiatives calling for integrated asset/liability modeling. By incorporating DLL technology, we've made BondEdge(R) features available as callable functions that can be easily invoked from other leading applications, MG-ALFA in this instance. Just as important, this technology could be expanded to allow any outside application to invoke a variety of BondEdge calculations or analytics in a similar way." Pat Renzi, MG-ALFA Product Manager for Milliman, adds, "While MG-ALFA has supported an import/export process with BondEdge for many years, this seamless integration facilitates the ability of our clients to comply with the stochastic analysis required by emerging regulatory requirements. More importantly, this proactive step to work together with CMS BondEdge positions our clients to perform stochastic-in-stochastic analysis on both assets and liabilities. We are proud to be the first actuarial software vendor we are aware of to deliver such an offering." says Renzi.
