– As many partners and peers, since March we switched to remote working. Our agile business model, flexibility and IT systems allowed smooth and fast transition. From an operations perspective, we are operating business as usual. Although all portfolio manager events, roadshows and meetings have been cancelled for now, the team has remained available at all times for calls/visio and queries, and this, more than ever. Our Due Diligence & Fund monitoring services and consulting team has also been busy helping allocators in this period where risk management is highly scrutinised. 

– On the fund side, Long-Only equity funds have been impacted of course across the range. Most have nevertheless outperformed their benchmark. Due to the drop in equity valuations, the future return profile of many of our partner’s funds has improved, hence the increase in inbound queries received.
