(CAS).

In the context of the historic LIBOR transition, the credit adjustment spread related to the determination of an economically neutral replacement rate based on risk-free rates (RFRs).

The adjustment reflected the additional credit risk in IBOR rates.

The ISDA spread adjustment was an example of a CAS.

LIBOR ended in September 2024.
