Introducing The Asante Edge, a new podcast from Asante Capital Group

  • Written By: Asante Capital

We’re pleased to introduce The Asante Edge, a new podcast from Asante Capital Group. 

The series brings forward perspectives from across our global network, focusing on how capital is being allocated, where opportunities are emerging, and how investment platforms are built over time. 

We’re launching with a highlight on the emerging manager ecosystem – a segment that continues to offer differentiated opportunity, particularly in parts of the market where inefficiencies remain. 

In our first episode, Asante Partner Kelly Phelan speaks with Elizabeth Egan of TIFF, discussing their approach to backing independent sponsors through deal-by-deal investing, and how they identify opportunities in the lower middle market. 

The conversation explores: 

  • Emerging managers’ focus and where inefficiencies still exist  
  • How alignment differs in deal-by-deal investing versus traditional fund structures  
  • What signals a manager’s ability to build a long-term platform

The discussion is grounded in direct experience across both the LP and GP landscape. 

Listen to the full conversation on Spotify.
