  • Structure Bonds - Need a quick and dirty debt service structure fast? You just found it. Put in par amount, dated/delivery, payment dates, and you're all set.
  • Annualize - Take payments of any frequency and aggregate them into annual (or any period!) totals in a snap. 
  • Bootstrap (Par to Zeros/Forwards) - When you need zeros or forward rates but all you have is a par yield curve, this is your answer.describe the image This can be done with spreadsheet formulas but what a hassle. Here's a simple interface to get it done fast and accurately. 
  • Notional Schedules - Converting bond amortizations to outstanding amounts for swap notionals is easy. It's a drag if you have cash flow dates that don't directly tie to the bond amortization dates. Problem solved with the Notionals feature.
  • Unique Element List - If you've ever had to go through and grab the unique elements of a big list in Excel, you know this can be a major drag. No trouble at all with this Unique feature. 
  • Simulate Rates - Interest rate uncertainty is at peak levels. SmartModels Utilities give you a fast, powerful way to analyze interest rate variability with the Simulate Rates function.
