The paper highlights the benefits of the overnight index and its suitability for standardization in futures.
Finally, Browne offers an overview of the new Eris SOFR Swap Futures, and guidance on how to transition out of existing LIBOR exposure into SOFR ahead of the forced fallback using the new contracts.
