From Flametree Technologies. Welcome. This website contains information about Flametree Technologies and our flagship fixed income attribution product, FIA. Attribution continues to be a leading topic in fixed income management. Attribution has enormous value in generating profits and increasing funds under management. Yet existing systems are expensive, difficult to use, and require major investments in time, money and expertise to set up and run. FIA provides a powerful new approach to solving this problem using the least amount of data possible without compromising on depth of analytics or instrument coverage. Corporate Training Courses. Wall St. Trainings wide variety of courses build cumulatively start from the fundamentals to build your base of knowledge and advance up.

Designed by a leading industry expert, FIAs capabilities equal or surpass those of any other attribution system in the marketplace. Best of all its straightforward to use. A typical first report takes less than 3. FIA. is designed to leverage established performance measurement systems, not to replace them. You can run FIA from a netbook. On a typical customer supplied portfolio FIA ran in 4 seconds, compared to the 2. The result is that FIA allows you to focus on your core portfolio management skills, instead of becoming bogged down in technology issues. Not sure if FIA will meet your needs Try the system out on line for free for 3. Or contact us for a demonstration, using your portfolio data. New features October 2. Version 2. 0. 6 released. FIA v. 2. 0. 6 now provides a duration contribution report, showing a hierarchical decomposition of modified duration contribution by sector for portfolio and benchmark. New features June 2. Version 2. 0. 5 released. FIA v. 2. 0. 5 provides an ODBC link to SQL databases, allowing data to be read and written directly to SQL Server, Oracle, My. SQL and a wide range of other platforms. Documentation is available here. New features April 2. Version 2 released. FIA v. 2 offers the following new functionality. User defined risks and returns, via Open. Risk. User defined pricing, via Open. Pricing. Flexible yield curve handling. Substantial increases in speed. Full documentation on Open. Pricing and Open. Risk is available here. New features May 2. FIA now calculates DTS attribution. In addition to duration allocation attribution and van Breukelen attribution, FIA now calculates Duration Times Spread DTS attribution. DTS is a measure of spread risk for credit portfolios that is proportional to the volatility of a corporate bond. FIA now allows investment decisions made in terms of this quantity to be measured. A white paper on how FIA implements DTS is available here. New features September 2. FIA now calculates security specific returns. If your weights and returns files contain values for YTM Yield To Maturity, FIA can now calculate return generated by changes in the spread between this quantity and each securitys pricing curve. Such return is generated by security specific factors hence it is called security specific return. Security specific return was previously assigned to Residual return. To enable security specific returns in your reports, use the Security specific check box in the GUI, or enable the Security. Specific. Returns switch in your configuration file or API call. New features June 2. API now allows FIA to be called from multiple languages. Version 1. 1. 3 of FIA now has a full programming API that allows the attribution engine to be embedded in other applications. Using supplied wrappers, FIA can be called from C, C Sharp, Python and Java. Please refer to The Flametree API guide for more details and examples. New features May 2. Ex post tracking error. FIA now generates ex post tracking error reports. If the Tracking. Error. Report switch is on, FIA calculates a report that shows the ex post tracking error contribution of each security to portfolio and benchmark, aggregated by sector. Relative tracking error is also displayed at the same levels. Tracking error is also decomposed at the risk level, so that contribution to TE from the current risk decomposition is shown. New features March 2. Development roadmap. We have now posted our development roadmap to show what future enhancements and features are planned for FIA. Please contact us if you have particular requirements that you would like to see implemented. New features February 2. User defined pricing functions. Versions 1. 1. 3 and beyond of the Flametree attribution engine now offer the capability to use user supplied pricing functions. This enhancement significantly expands the range and depth of attribution analyses available to our users, and allows proprietary pricing models to be run in conjunction with Flametrees wide range of attribution reports. Please contact us for more information, technical specifications, and sample code. New features December 2. Inflation indices. FIA can now calculate inflation returns directly from CPI and RPI indices. Inflation indices are supplied in a CSV file specified using the CPIFile parameter. Indices are then linked to particular inflation linked bonds by setting the CPIIndex security definition. This substantially reduces the data maintenance requirements for such securities. Ex post risk analysis. FIA now calculates a wide range of ex post risk statistics, including volatility, tracking error, information ratios, Jensen alpha, beta, Sharpe, Treynor, Calmar and Sortino ratios, omega, skewness and kurtosis. New features November 2. Yield curve report. FIA can now generate a new yield curve report Curve. Report, showing how the sovereign curve for each market used for attribution has changed over time. Movements in the sovereign curve are decomposed using the same decomposition as the attribution analysis. For instance, if shift, twist and curvature have been selected, the change due to each is displayed at each sample date. The user can customize which tenor points along the curve are shown by using the Tenor. List setting. New features June 2. Hybrid attribution. To complement the availability of our various top down attribution models, FIA now also offers hybrid attribution. For market value attribution, the system firstly calculates the return made by asset allocation decisions. All bottom up returns are then rescaled and treated as stock selection returns. This allows the user to measure the combined effects of both allocation decisions and interest rate duration, credit, etc decisions on the same portfolio. For duration allocation attribution, a slightly different calculation is used. The duration allocation algorithm firstly calculates a global direction return, then one or more sector allocation returns, and a selection return. The selection return is regarded as the sum of all bottom up fixed income returns. Whichever attribution model is used, the sum of all attribution returns is the total active return of portfolio over benchmark. Please refer to our white paper for more information. New features April 2. Carino smoothing. The new Smoothing. Model switch now allows the user to select between the two most commonly used attribution smoothing algorithms Carino and geometric aggregation. New features December 2. Duration and market allocation attribution. FIA can now perform duration allocation attribution, using a generalization of the van Breukelen model. This allows returns due to credit spread allocation to be calculated and decomposed into market direction, duration asset allocation and duration stock selection returns.
