Asante Capital Solutions – Q4 2023 Newsletter

  • Written By: Asante Capital

Amid heightened economic volatility in 2023, Asante saw fundraising headwinds begin to slowly subside. As we reflect on another strong year of progress, our team has analyzed some of the key trends that dominated 2023. Key themes include market congestion, extreme levels of bifurcation, increasing importance of DPI, and the denominator effect. We expect the market to be more competitive, innovative, and specialized than ever as financing and M&A markets slowly start to show signs of recovery through 2024.

Maximizing chances of success on GP-led transactions

It’s a tough market for continuation vehicles and other GP-led transactions. Transactions fail to finish, with the two key challenges being pricing falling short of expectations and capital raising falling short of the amount required to underwrite the transaction.
