Who we are:

The Bloomberg Structured Products Quantitative Agency MBS Research Team
We strive to create best-in-class predictive and economic models for the US Agency MBS markets in conjunction with a comprehensive suite of daily analytics reports, model surveillance reports, whitepapers, specified pool cohorts, and valuation tools. We aim to provide timely model updates that incorporate the latest prepayment trends and market developments, while allowing clients the ability to fully customize their user experience with a comprehensive and intuitive set of model overrides. We strive to continually improve our agency MBS product by maintaining an ongoing, open dialogue with the entire community of traders, portfolio managers, regulators, and mortgage agencies that incorporate our models into their daily workflow as well as internal partners such as Index/PORT, BVAL, MARS, NEWS and BI.

We are an enthusiastic, talented team of 7 quants who work side by side with product managers, developers, and many other engineering groups. Our teams develop models that forecast cash flows for Agency mortgage backed securities, produce valuation metrics used to determine relative value, and develop risk analytics used to quantify market risk for hedging and return attribution.

We continually enhance our models to stay in sync with evolving market dynamics and government policies, as well as expand model coverage for new product types. Our current projects include enhanced cohorts to track the performance of specified pools, automated error correction for the agency prepayment model, and a new prepayment model for the GNMA project loan sector.
