Have Investors Lost Their Edge Due to Lockdowns?
Before the pandemic, investors successfully interacted with colleagues and key thought leaders through medical conferences and site visits. Through these events, core relationships were developed with company management. However, investors may have lost their edge due to pandemic-related lockdowns and new social distancing policies.
