Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, work life has shifted dramatically for many Americans. To find out more about how the pandemic has specifically impacted investment managers, Callan, one of the largest independently owned investment consulting firms in the U.S., surveyed over 100 investment managers regarding how their firms were responding to the pandemic. The study received 108 responses from a wide variety of firms by location, employee size, assets under management, and ownership structure.

So how are investment managers navigating through the pandemic? The Callan survey shed some light on what firms are doing in regards to office closures and reopenings, work-from-home approaches, business travel, and meetings.

As far as work environments go, the report showed that offices remain closed for 84% of the respondents, with the vast majority of employees working remotely across essentially all firms.
