SHELTON, Conn., May 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Clayton Holdings LLC, a leader in providing customized risk analysis, loss mitigation, operational solutions and staffing services to the mortgage and fixed income industries, announced today that it has partnered with MBSData, LLC, which provides accurate and timely deal and loan-level information on public non-agency mortgage-backed securities, to provide new loan-level data risk identification analytics and enhanced reporting solutions to investors in the fixed-income mortgage sector.

The new offering will cover 98 percent of the active deal universe of private label mortgage-backed securities and will provide a technologically advanced platform for investors to manage RMBS risk efficiently and effectively.    

Clients will be able to combine MBSData's loan-level dataset information with Clayton's dynamic data query and reporting tool, InCyt, to easily dive into underlying loan-level details to gauge collateral performance, identify trends among various data points and thereby identify potential performance issues and possible investment opportunities.

The new service available through Clayton or MBSData can be tailored to fit any investor's needs, ranging from simple access to the stand-alone data or in an enhanced package with the InCyt tool and custom dashboards or reports.
