 Resilience & crisis management

• Resilience is the new magic word, actually used in psychology, it
  now stands for resistance or the ability to survive difficult
  situations without lasting impairment. Therefore the resilience
  is tested in terms of:
  – Business models
  – Asset classes
  – Financing operations
  – Market participants
  – Reviews
  – etc.
• The resilience test is tough. The IFO-Institute expects the
  German economy to collapse by -6%.
• Even if production is slowly being restarted, delayed or
                                                                      Susanne

    Ratings of asset managers affected by crisis

•    In its latest rating, Moody's has changed the outlook for global
     asset managers from stable to negative
•    Corona-related market distortions burden the income and
     cash flows of asset managers
•    Economic uncertainty limits net inflows
•    Significant decline in assets under management, resulting in
     reduced performance fee income
•    Adjustments to cost structure expected in order to conserve
     liquidity
•    Slowdown in economic growth and investors' reluctance to
     invest in higher risk products with higher fees
•    Real estate asset managers/asset managers can also be
     affected if transactions and associated fees fail to materialize -

 Cost pressure can reproduce itself

• The resilience of financial institutions is being tested. Emerging
  and border markets may face difficult conditions for external
  financing, rising risks and increased debt restructuring

• But banks have more capital and liquidity than before the
  financial crisis, have passed stress tests and are supported by
  the provision of central bank liquidity - more on this in Deep Dive
  Banking & Capital Markets

• Risk analyses will not stop at real estate loans and conditions
  may rise

• The assessment of the COVID-19 impact on real estate asset
  classes and their valuation is still cautious - more on this in
  Deep Dive Valuation

• Economic pressure from companies is increasing - necessity of
  cost savings also affects personnel - more on this in Deep Dive

•    The environment and other aspects of sustainability are
     becoming increasingly important for investment managers and
     their clients and affect all facets of value creation: product
     design, portfolio structuring, risk management, collaboration with
     partners.
•    As recently as 2016, only 10% of AWM's CEOs described
     themselves as "extremely concerned" that climate change
     could threaten their company's growth (PwC CEO Survey). The                                          ESG
     proportion rose to 25% in 2020 and 62% of AWM CEOs
     expressed some concern about the climate (PwC CEO Survey
     2020). They were similarly concerned about income inequality
     and social instability.

What are important elements to
consider in communication with
your bank?
    Requirements of real estate financing

•    Transparency is key – provide up-to-date
     documents taking into account the expected
     economic effects (impact on the rating and
     refinancing options).
•    If a short and medium-term refinancing is pending,
     they try to openly discuss the current liquidity
     protection measures together with the financing
     bank.
•    If applications for deferral or modification are
     submitted, pay attention to the regulatory implications.
