Asante Capital

Despite a challenging fundraising market, plagued by macro-economic volatility, market congestion and LP denominator effect, we have continued leveraging our global investor relationships to source new capital for our GPs and achieve oversubscribed outcomes, multiple times over during this period.

We also supported our clients in navigating a period of subdued M&A market activity, advising on innovative GP-led secondary solutions to generate liquidity for their best asset(s) and catalyse fundraising momentum.

We are continuing to expand our footprint across the globe with an expansion of each of our teams in the US, Europe and Hong Kong. We have also expanded the Partnership leading the firm bringing the total global Partners to 9. We are proud to announce that Kate O’Meara, George Lyons, Jared Davidson and Kelly Phelan are now Partners whose promotions further strengthen Asante’s global leadership team and reinforce our commitment to delivering the best long-term advisory and fundraising solutions to GPs worldwide.
