Benchmark page on our site

One very useful document related to interest rate market is Marc’s “Interest Rate Instruments and Market Conventions Guide". Its latest version was published more than 10 years ago as an OpenGamma Quantitative Research document. It can be found on SSRN at https://ssrn.com/abstract=2128257.

Over that time interval the interest rate market conventions have changed, in particular in relation to benchmarks. We are planning to update the guide and we will post here a link to the new version.

In the mean time we have added a benchmark page on our web site with a list and short descriptions of overnight and IBOR-like benchmarks: https://murisq.blogspot.com/p/conventions.html. We will do our best to maintain it up-to-date.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you think there are "glitches" in the list or to propose new information.
