For the past few years, perseverance has been the name of the operations game. Having navigated the LIBOR transition and covid-19 pandemic, it is now time to set the course for the journey ahead. Paths to efficiency are varied, with many twists and turns and obstacles along the way.
This conference mapped out the current operational landscape and reviewed the best way forward. It explored the various paths open to operations and agency professionals, and provided comment to the efficiency of the options on the table.
The agenda covered:
- Lessons from the Pandemic
- Solving for Settlement
- Libor:The End is Nigh?
- SENIOR TRACK - Agency Overview Or
- JUNIOR TRACK - Back to basics
For the final session of the
day, there was an option to attend either an Agency Overview or, for more
junior staff, there was Back to Basics covering the basics of a trade and how
these fundamentals feed into everything that takes place thereafter.
Below are recordings of the morning (session 1) and afternoon (session 2) but not of the Back to Basics session.
