Cvent Transition Guide

Overview

LIBOR is referenced in $350 trillion of contracts. The LIBOR Transition implementation is in full speed now and there is no respite from the regulator to pause on plans. Despite COVID-19, financial institutions are facing challenging implementation timelines. Join CFA Society New York as we examine the major implications of the transition, including:

  • What are the legal implications of these changes and how will they impact investors and their investment process?
  • How will investments, including existing investments, be changed by this transition? What is the timeline for the transition and the major risks to execution?
