Alternative asset managers identified liquidity management as
their top priority in a survey conducted by AIMA and State Street.
Post-crisis regulations, historically low interest rates and slow
growth in the global economy have combined to limit banks'
ability to perform their traditional roles as market makers, the
report said, in turn affecting broader market liquidity conditions.

the impact "significant." This is prompting investors and
managers to alter their activities. For example, 53% of asset
managers and owners said they are planning to add more liquid
investments to maintain exposures.
