It was only last month that I wrote to you with advice on how to talk to your investors about Brexit. Well, a month is a long time in private equity, it seems, and Brexit already feels like old news. “Unprecedented” is the word most conspicuously deployed to describe the current environment, and your familiarity with history beyond the modern era will dictate how appropriate you find the usage to be. In any case, we can probably all agree that the situation is:
1. ubiquitous;
2. uncommon; and
3. impactful
These three characteristics, together, mean that COVID-19 is a topic that:
a) cannot be avoided;
b) is difficult to understand and explain; and
c) must not be ignored
As such, your investors are going to have questions. Do you have the right answers?
