Findings from a study by JPMorgan Asset Management, which was undertaken in collaboration with the Association of Corporate Treasurers, revealed that liquidity was the main concern for nearly three-quarters of respondents.
The number of inter-bank relationships have risen while treasurers have been increasingly drawn to higher minimum credit ratings when making investments, the survey showed.
According to the company, these behaviours illustrate how treasurers are attempting to be more efficient with their finances to avoid any potential cash flow difficulties.
Kathleen Hughes, head of Global Liquidity EMEA at JPMorgan Asset Management, said: “What is clear from this year`s results is that risk aversion is continuing to stalk financial markets.
“Counterparty risk is being reduced, wherever possible, and treasurers are maintaining higher levels of liquidity with a bias towards quality in the pooled funds space. It seems that treasurers are focusing more than ever on credit quality.”
