However, the survey also revealed that the pandemic has also created major challenges for managers and their back office functions; as 37% of institutional investors found securities valuations ‘challenging’ or ‘extremely challenging’ during the crisis. This was followed by liquidity (34%), timely reporting (34%) and cash forecasting (30%).i
