As the COVID-19 pandemic bites, it's a relief to see
government authorities and regulators lessening the burden for fund
managers.
The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had an unprecedented
impact on businesses, economies and individuals. But governments
and regulators around the world have responded impressively –
rolling out measures including those designed to help ensure
business continuity for fund managers.
Lessons were learnt during the 2008 financial crisis and the
world has evolved since, in terms of both technology and market
infrastructure. As such, government authorities have been quick to
put initiatives in place to feed markets and companies with
liquidity, while regulatory bodies have announced measures to help
ease the environment in which funds operate.
