The survey was conducted via an electronic, anonymous audience poll. According to the survey, 33 percent of the respondents expect more LP defaults in the future; 38 percent do not expect to see LP defaults and 29 percent of respondents are not sure if they will or not. The survey found 9 percent of respondents have recently experienced LP defaults.
The survey also found that 25 percent of respondents have received inquiries from LPs about reducing their commitments.
