Now in its ninth year, the JPMorgan Asset Management Global Cash Management Survey continues to provide a benchmark for treasurers and other cash investors to evaluate their liquidity management processes and understand their market position in relation to their peers. We hope that the trends identified by our research will again provide valuable insights into the global cash management industry.
The responses this year are particularly interesting because the Survey took place over the summer, at the start of the credit market difficulties. Where possible we have tried to separate the online responses (which can be accurately dated) into those received before September, and those that were returned during or after September, to see if we can see any noticeable changes in responses.
In addition, we conducted interviews with a number of survey respondents in November, to clarify certain points and gauge any changes of opinion that may be driven by the ongoing crisis in credit markets. We have incorporated any changes in sentiment, where appropriate.
