Marc's talk, will be titled A quant perspective on LIBOR fallback.

Talk's summary:

With the increased expectation of some IBORs discontinuation and the increasing regulatory requirements related to benchmarks, a more robust fallback provision for benchmark-linked derivatives is becoming paramount for the interest rate market. Several options for such a fallback have been proposed and ISDA held a consultation on some of them.
The results of the ISDA consultation has been to select the "compounding setting in arrears" adjusted rate and the "historical mean/median" spread approach. We analyse the proposed option in details and present an alternative option supported by different working groups. The presentation focuses is on the quantitative finance impacts for derivatives.
