SciComp Inc. Releases SciSTCDO, a New Credit Derivatives Pricing Engine

Austin, TX - June 7, 1005 - SciComp Inc. announced the release of SciSTCDO, a pricing, risk and calibration engine for single-tranche collateralized debt obligations (STCDO).

SciSTCDO prices and generates risk measures for any STCDO structure, including industry standard synthetic tranched indices (ex., Dow Jones iTraxx). SciSTCDO's analytic capabilities include both semi-analytic and Monte Carlo based pricing methods.

SciSTCDO provides three different pricing models: a robust, high performance Monte Carlo based simulation method for handling exotic variations; a fast semi-analytic method with an implied correlation calculator; and a semi-analytic method with stochastic correlation for managing the smile effect. By providing multiple pricing approaches users can select the approach that best meets their modeling needs and minimizes any potential model risk. SciSTCDO is available with a Microsoft Excel front end.

"The market for single tranche CDOs is rapidly expanding and SciSTCDO provides a reliable and robust analytical tool for new entrants and seasoned players alike. SciSTCDO stands out from other available solutions in that it prices the full range of STCDO structures, provides alternative pricing approaches, generates risk measures and calculates implied market correlations." said Curt Randall, Executive Vice President for SciComp.
