LIBOR Transition Services

Outsource LIBOR Transition Services

Get access to end-to-end LIBOR transition capabilities by choosing our high-quality LIBOR transition services

LIBOR (London Interbank Offer Rate) is the accepted reference rate for borrowing without pledging specific assets in the financial market. This reference rate points to the condition of the financial system and throws light on how central banks may shape their policy rates. Transitioning to LIBOR presents challenges of an unknown kind. These include introducing new products to recalibrate models, defining new rate strategies, and tailoring client outreach. With the kicking in of LIBOR, most global financial companies are finding it difficult to remediate several contractual agreements and other documents.

Outsource2india has 25 years of experience in providing financial support services to both large and small finance firms around the world. Our end-to-end capabilities include identifying the risky contracts, categorizing and analyzing all the data and agreements that will be affected, amending and drafting the document and comprehensive negotiation, mapping processes, meeting system requirements, etc. Our inclusive LIBOR replacement services have brought us the recognition of a reliable LIBOR transition services provider.

Our LIBOR Transition Services

As a trusted LIBOR transition services providing company, we offer a range of LIBOR transition services to our clients. Some of these include -

  • Assess Exposure and Impact to LIBOR Transition

    Assess Exposure and Impact to LIBOR Transition

    The first step to a successful transition is to identify a firm's exposure to Libor-linked products (cash products, derivatives, etc) and other business needs. With our exposure and impact services, our experts will identify the impact of your firm's exposure to LIBOR across the product line and transactions associated with the benchmark. We deploy key risk management and valuation methods to determine and document the impact on the product lines on exposure to LIBOR.

  • Conduct Risk Assessment

    Conduct Risk Assessment

    The transition to LIBOR alternatives will lead to some hurried decisions that are likely to expose the firm to conduct risk. Firms need to identify these conduct risks and draw a plan to mitigate them. For this firms need to be clear about which products need to be offered to which groups of clients and set up clear communication with clients. We have designed risk frameworks for several firms taking into account the potential issues that may arise while transitioning to LIBOR. We leverage valuation models, regulatory guidance, and dispute expertise to build a framework on the risks involved.

  • Model Review Analysis

    Model Review Analysis

    With this service, we apply financial models to evaluate how the replacement of the reference rate will impact components like hedging, valuation, and collateral. We are driven by a team of quantitative analysts with vast exposure to the review of models. Besides valuation, we leverage their experience for system testing, implementation, identifying issues in advance, stress testing pertaining to the transition, risk impact, etc. Over the last 25 years, we have analyzed several specific securities and quantified their impact under different transition methodologies.

  • End-to-end Scenario Testing

    End-to-end Scenario Testing

    As the LIBOR transition program triggers systems remediation, firms would require a comprehensive and focused approach to testing. Testing will ensure that the complexities caused by the number of moving pieces are ironed out. We assist in testing the data integration and data ingestion layers along with the corresponding UI changes, carrying out functional testing to test systems that need to be upgraded for computing ARRs variable and regression testing for enabling the system to undergo seamless UI-level, API-level, and computation-level upgrades.

  • Implementation Roadmap

    Implementation Roadmap

    We provide our clients with a roadmap to implement a smooth and seamless LIBOR transition. The road map defines a clear set of actions for financial firms to have well-developed formalized plans to amend contracts and make a shift to alternative rates. The roadmap provides a guideline on how to remove all dependencies on LIBOR and the at the same time fine-tune their process to adapt to new rates. Our implementation roadmap provides a blueprint for the critical stage such as contract analysis, impact analysis, repapering, and remediation.

  • Contract Management and Remediation

    Contract Management and Remediation

    In the post-LIBOR age, financial institutions need to identify contracts that need to be amended at a speed never known to them before. This amending of contracts is not a familiar concept to many legal departments. Therefore, replacing LIBOR will affect several financial agreements in such a way that a manual approach to remediation would be an expensive and risk-prone task. The huge volumes of these agreements and the many uncertainties surrounding them add to the problem. To take on this challenge we generate and execute contract agreements with advanced technologies such as AI (artificial intelligence) & NLP (natural language processing).

  • Resolve Disputes

    Resolve Disputes

    The shift from LIBOR is likely to have a serious impact on the business of market participants. The fallout of the transition will not only affect taxation, accounting, and disclosures but will also trigger several conflicts that may end in litigation. Therefore, firms need to be prepared from a dispute resolution perspective. Our experts have extensive experience in handling a variety of disputes and will leverage their knowledge to extend support on many issues. We will assist you to move your counterparties to find solutions to steer your business away from conflicts, and also assist you in negotiations so that the best solution can be achieved at the fastest possible time and with the least expenses.

Our LIBOR Transition Process

The absence of a calculated plan for LIBOR transition can lead to higher risks and costs. However, working with an experienced partner can assist a financial firm to plan effectively and execute a smooth shift to an alternative reference rate. We follow a detailed and phase-wise plan for LIBOR transition which consists of the following steps -

 

01. Requirement Gathering

We sit with key stakeholders to find out the areas impacted by the risks. The discussion helps us gather a concrete understanding of the firm's approach to deal with the risks and identify issues that may go out of control. We also look into the contracts and harvest relevant data

 

02. Identify Risks

Based on this understanding, we identify all possible market risks that the client is likely to be exposed to. In most cases, we have been able to discover risks that were not considered by the client. After listing out the risks, we review the risk framework against the FCA risk outlook and standard industry practices to create a detailed report

 

03. Design a Solution

In this step, we use the anticipated risks to model the impact on specific securities. This is done under various methodologies so that the impact can be closely assessed and quantified. The solution serves as a practical recommendation on how to deal with the identified challenges. Each of the risks is mapped to a set of possible solutions to ensure no challenge is difficult to overcome

 

04. Provide Amend Language

This is the stage when we do a detailed study on how market changes would amend the documentation language across securities and issuance programs. We ready the language framework for you to get a grip over the new documentation style and procedure. Further, we assist you with advanced technologies like AI for executing contract amendments with the speed it demands

 

05. Reporting & Monitoring

We team up with our clients to tailor and execute roadmaps to success. At the same time, we monitor the changes and adaptation to the changes from a program management perspective and keep generating reports to help clients get used to the new world order
