Conclusions from Consultation on Potential Replacement Rates ahead of the Cessation of LIBOR

Today, Invesco Indexing concluded its consultation on proposed replacement rates for USD London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and London Interbank Bid Rate (“LIBID”) used in select Invesco Indexing indexes. As previously announced, the proposed alternative reference rates were the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), Euro Short-Term Rate (“ESTR”), and Tokyo Overnight Average Rate (“TONA”). Having received and considered stakeholder feedback, Invesco Indexing will be implementing the changes as outlined in the consultation and summarized below:

  • In fixed income indexes with only USD or multi-currency denominated constituents, SOFR will be the alternative reference rate,
  • In fixed income indexes with only EUR denominated constituents, ESTR will be the alternative reference rate,
  • For fixed income indexes with only JPY denominated constituents, TONA will be the alternative reference rate, and
  • For indexes utilizing 3 Month USD LIBOR as part of an excess return calculation, SOFR will be the alternative reference rate.   

These updates to reference rates used within Invesco indexes will be implemented after the close of business on December 31st, 2021.

A summary of the changes by index is provided below.
