Founded in 1996, R2Metrics provides managers of interest rate risk with fast, reliable and inexpensive analytical tools and reports.
R2Metrics specializes in measuring how changes in interest rates will impact future cash-flows, asset yields and liability costs, market values, and total return expectations. Our firm specializes in modeling 100% of the items in a bond portfolio or on a company balance sheet, not just those items that are relatively easy and precise to model. We have the ability and know how to model financial items that have embedded options or other variables that can make accurate forecasting difficult.
All of our products are designed for ease of use and quick
turnaround times -- often measured in minutes vs. days or weeks for competing analytical reports
