Mathematical Finance
Company provides unique software and consulting
services for cash flow testing and risk evaluation for many of the
financial products that are sold to investors. The heart of this
revolutionary software is the Economic Scenrio Generator (ESG™ ), which
uses the Double Mean Reverting Process(DMRP™ ) and hitorical algorithms.
The DMRP™ is currently the only reliable two-variable model for generating
economic scenarios of interest rates for both risk-neutral and realistic
yield curves. The use of two state-variables in generating interest rate
scenarios results in the best fit of any model that is in current use to
historical stylized facts.
- Mathematical Finance
Company is a small privately held company,
formed as a Virginia corporation in 1993. It has offices in Alexandria,
VA and in Colorado Springs.
- MFC's
business is developing and publishing software and related materials for
financial services particularly life insurance.
- MFC has
clients in Canada and the U.S. It has also performed services
elsewhere.
- MFC produces
and licenses software for simulation of interest rates and other
economic variables used in the life insurance industry under annual
licenses.
- MFC clients
under annual licenses use MFC interest rate simulation software to
perform risk management analysis on life insurance liabilities in excess
of 100 billion US dollars on an annual basis.
- MFC has
provided support to taskforces on risk management of the American
Academy of Actuaries since 1997. These include equity indexed annuities,

- MFC
personnel have taught on interest rate models and risk management
methods at numerous actuarial meetings in Canada, the U.K. and the U.S.
since 1995. The state of the art of simulation of interest rates used in
life insurance in the U.S. has adopted many of the techniques and
standards pioneered by MFC. Over one trillion dollars of life
insurance liabilities have risk management analysis done annually with
interest rate models traceable to MFC methodology.
- Research by MFC personnel has been published in
leading academic journals and is cited and exhibited in leading
textbooks used in Ph.D. programs world wide. It has been cited in Ph.D.
theses at such schools as Harvard and Stanford. It is cited on the web
pages of such universities as Berkeley, Columbia University, Duke,
Fordham, Georgia State, Koblenz, Queens University Canada, Nankai China,
Ohio State, Stanford, SDU Denmark, University Aarhus Denmark, University
of Connecticut, UCLA, University of Washington University of Waterloo,
Virginia Tech, and the Wharton School.
- MFC research
is available on the web pages of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries,
the Society of Actuaries and the Faculty and Institute of Actuaries in
