Lots of changes coming for your Loan and Investment Portfolios…

I know this is on most banker’s radar, but in the event you have been under a “media blackout” for the last several years, we just wanted to take a minute to remind you of the upcoming regulatory changes and ways that we may be able to help you prepare for them.

First, as many of you are undoubtedly aware, LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) is scheduled to “go away” in 2022. There are many implications to this and we encourage you to look for more info in next Wednesday’s Leader Board Report from Country Club Bank. If you have ANY loans tied to LIBOR, those of us at AMG can help you better understand this exposure and get you ready for the changes to your loan docs that you will need to be making in the next few months if you have not already done so.

Second, FASB will begin the final phase of implementation (for non-public entities) of FAS ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses; Topic 326, better known to most of us as CECL.

Some of you may have listened to the FED webinar a few weeks back on a simplified solution and we have heard from some that they plan to use that tool. Many other banks have asked us about the CECL Calculator, developed by AMG, under the BancPath suite of products to more specifically and comprehensively calculate this Credit Loss Exposure.


For banks with assets greater than $1 Billion, the FED’s provided solution is not an option. And many of these institutions have chosen to use the BancPath Calculator. However, there are also many clients under $1 Billion that have also made the decision to use this Calculator as a solution as well. If you would like to see a demo of this calculator or receive a brochure on this product, just give us a call.


Additional information on our simple AMG solution to CECL can be found at the two links below. Please let us know how we can help, either in the investment portfolio specifically, or the overall balance sheet.
