What Andrew Davidson & Co does

Andrew Davidson & Co., Inc. (AD&Co) is a privately held New York-based risk analytics and consulting firm founded in 1992 by Andrew Davidson, focused on residential mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities. The company builds and licenses prepayment and credit forecasting models — most notably the LoanDynamics model — alongside valuation tools such as the OAS Subroutine and MacroDynamics. Its analytics are delivered through the Kinetics platform, a modular environment available via desktop application, web browser, and REST API, which hosts applications including LoanKinetics (whole loan analysis), MSRKinetics (mortgage servicing rights risk), PoolKinetics (agency MBS pool pay-up evaluation), and RiskProfiler. A newer Climate Impact Suite extends the product line into climate-related mortgage portfolio risk.

AD&Co monetizes through three revenue streams: model and component licensing (LoanDynamics and related engines used as benchmark analytics), subscription software accessed via the Kinetics platform, and professional services covering risk management, valuation, portfolio strategy, model advising, and litigation support. Pricing is quote-based with annual billing, sold through a consultative enterprise field-sales motion to top mortgage and commercial banks, insurance companies, mortgage insurers, reinsurers, credit unions, broker-dealers, and investment management firms. Distribution combines direct licensing with third-party vendor integrations that embed AD&Co models inside partner platforms, supplemented by a client portal offering Model Demos, the Mortgage Analysis & Reporting System (MARS), and ongoing model validation and tuning.

The firm is organized as a non-hierarchical corporation with offices in New York City, Raleigh, and Sonoma, and operates without institutional or venture capital backing. Strategic activity in the past two years has been measured but accretive: the May 2024 acquisition of Infima, the September 2025 launch of the Climate Impact Suite, a beta release of LoanDynamics v4.0, and the April 2026 addition of former PolyPaths/Numerix Managing Partners Kelli Sayres and Gene Park to the Business Development team. Thought leadership is maintained through The Pipeline newsletter, Quantitative Perspectives, Policy Perspectives, books, white papers, and an industry conference presence, which together reinforce the firm's positioning as a benchmark analytics provider in U.S. mortgage and fixed-income risk management.

Broad incumbents

• MSCI: MSCI provides portfolio analytics, risk models, and index/data services across asset classes including structured credit/MBS. It overlaps with AD&Co's MBS valuation and risk analytics, though MSCI operates at vastly greater scale and broader scope.
• Fiserv: Fiserv is a broad fintech and financial services technology provider serving banks, credit unions, and lenders. It overlaps with AD&Co's mortgage banking and credit union customer segments as part of a much wider product portfolio.
• SS&C Technologies: SS&C Technologies provides a wide range of financial services software including portfolio and accounting platforms for asset managers, hedge funds, and banks. It overlaps with AD&Co's institutional MBS analytics use cases as part of a much larger financial software portfolio.
• ICE Mortgage Technology (Black Knight): ICE Mortgage Technology (formerly Black Knight) is the dominant integrated mortgage technology provider, offering origination, servicing, and analytics platforms. It competes with AD&Co in the analytics space as part of a much broader product portfolio and has the scale advantage AD&Co lacks.
• Bloomberg: Bloomberg's terminal and enterprise data products include fixed-income analytics and MBS pricing tools widely used by the same institutional clients that license AD&Co models. It is a broader incumbent whose pricing and analytics compete for the same wallet share.
• Wolters Kluwer: Wolters Kluwer's Financial & Corporate Compliance unit (formerly Wolters Kluwer Lien Solutions) provides compliance, risk, and regulatory analytics for financial institutions. It overlaps with AD&Co's mortgage compliance and risk analytics use cases from a broader enterprise software standpoint.

Direct peers

• CoreLogic (Cotality): CoreLogic (now branded Cotality) is a major provider of property data, valuation, and analytics for the mortgage and real estate industries. It competes with AD&Co's LoanDynamics and valuation tooling from a property-data-driven perspective.
• Numerix: Numerix provides cross-asset analytics for fixed-income, derivatives, and structured products. It directly competes with AD&Co in fixed-income/MBS analytics and recently acquired PolyPaths — a former AD&Co distribution partner — intensifying competitive overlap.
• Optimal Blue: Optimal Blue is a leading provider of mortgage pricing and eligibility (PPE) engines, secondary marketing analytics, and MBS pool trading tools. It directly competes with AD&Co's LoanDynamics, OAS Subroutine, and PoolKinetics products across banks and broker-dealers.

Emerging players

• Polypaths: PolyPaths was a fixed-income analytics platform that previously distributed AD&Co models on its platform before being acquired by Numerix. It is comparable to AD&Co as a niche fixed-income/MBS analytics vendor focused on the same institutional buyer.
