Founded in 1986, TIPS, Inc. was based on Bond Math presented in Standard Securities Calculation Methods commissioned by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA).

Designed to help the securities industry standardize the valuation and analysis of fixed income securities, the company’s primary product is the “Standard Securities Calculations Software Library.” The software library provides calculation routines for valuation and analysis of domestic, foreign developed and emerging market fixed income securities to developers of in-house and commercial systems.
