The PriceServe Advantage

It’s not enough to simply observe and reflect publicly available trade levels once they occur.

Trade data is an important driver of valuations in the securitized products space; however, given the size of the overall universe of outstanding securities, only a very small number of trades occur each day.

PriceServe employs a proactive approach of assessing the relative value impact of this information across all related sectors and risk profiles, and then makes the appropriate adjustments to its pricing assumptions and inputs to reflect real-time market convention.

A powerful combination of resources and expertise – that’s what PriceServe delivers.
