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."

more than 400 leading banks, investment managers, brokerage firms,
insurance companies and pension funds throughout North America.
