MCLEAN, VA--(Marketwired - Nov 4, 2013) - Primatics Financial, a leader in integrated loan accounting and portfolio management, and Prescient Models, a provider of model analytic services, announced the launch of a new loan-level commercial real estate (CRE) model now available to users of Primatics' Evolv Software Service. The model, jointly developed and validated by Primatics and Prescient, will provide loan-level forecasts of cash flows, interest income and losses conditioned on macro-economically sensitive estimates of borrower behavior.
"We're incredibly excited and proud to announce the launch of Evolv's new CRE Model," said John Lankenau, VP of Product Management for Primatics. "Through our partnership, we hope to leverage Prescient's capabilities to further develop high-level solutions for banks with CRE portfolios. Prescient's well-known strength in model estimation, coupled with Evolv's ability to use models to efficiently and comprehensively forecast loan performance will help banks strategically assess their CRE portfolio for risk management, accounting and regulatory compliance."
By leveraging cash flow simulation and accounting reports of the Evolv platform, Evolv's CRE model is able to provide the forward-looking valuation and forecasting necessary to robustly predict the behavior of commercial real estate loans.
"Coming from the modeling side, I see a convergence happening between the needs of credit risk and accounting," said Prescient's CEO, Dr. Joe Breeden. "Accountants are being asked to create forward-looking numbers and traditionally credit risk-oriented tasks like CCAR are being put through accounting reports. Evolv's CRE model is a great example of how Prescient Models and Primatics recognize the collaborative need to provide robust 'credit risk and accounting' solutions to financial institutions."
"The ongoing convergence of risk and accounting is a major theme embedded in our product road map, and we are dedicated to solving the complex execution and compliance challenges associated with ever-changing regulations and best practice business processes," said Primatics' CEO, Kevin Hesselbirg. "The launch of Evolv's CRE Model is evidence of our commitment to offering innovative, cost-effective and best-of-breed alternatives to current inefficient and manual processes."
