As a follow-up to our March 18, 2020 webcast, we will answer questions and discuss practical steps fund managers and investors in non-traded or infrequently traded structured products and debt and equity investments can take as they exercise their fiduciary duty to report independent and credible fair value information to investors and stakeholders. Government actions taken in response to the rapidly changing global health situation due to COVID-19, combined with public market volatility and the potential for a global recession make the judgments reached with respect to fair value at March 31, 2020 very difficult. Response to the crisis from a fair value perspective requires reasoned informed judgment to provide investors, stakeholders, and beneficiaries with decision useful information.
Please join us for a further discussion on how to reflect the impact of COVID-19 and current market conditions when estimating and reporting fair value for the March 31, 2020 quarter end.
Schedule: 12:00 p.m. to 1:15 p.m. (EDT)
