Managing Liquidity: Be Prepared for the New Reality
presented by Michael Morin, Fidelity Investments
Money market investors have endured regulatory uncertainty and near zero interest rates for almost six years. In light of the SEC’s decision to implement further reforms, and with a rising rate environment on the horizon, investors must prepare for the reality that not all money funds are created equal. Join us to examine how treasury professionals can adapt to this changing landscape and be successful in a new era of cash management.
Michael Morin, Director of Institutional Portfolio Management at Fidelity Investments, will discuss current market developments, providing corporate treasurers and cash managers with insights on how these dynamic events will likely evolve. Mr. Morin will discuss the impact of managing liquidity
in a rising interest rate environment, the implications of the SEC changes to money fund investors and the potential alternatives to modifying investment policy statements in order to adapt to this new era of liquidity management.

- Shelley Pray, a Treasury Solutions Officer at Bank of America Merrill Lynch,will provide an overview of current trends and best practices used to improve DSO and DPO
