We’re pleased to continue The Asante EDGE, a 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.
Our Emerging Managers series continues with a closer look at the independent sponsor ecosystem – a segment of the market that has grown significantly in recent years and continues to attract experienced investors and operators.
In this episode, Asante Partner Kelly Phelan speaks with Sebastian Junoy, Managing Partner and Co-Founder of Headway Capital Partners, about the evolution of the independent sponsor model and why they believe it represents a lasting structural shift within private equity.
The conversation explores:
- Why the lower middle market continues to offer compelling opportunities
- Why some investors are choosing deal-by-deal investing over traditional fund models
- What independent sponsors need to get right to build a successful platform over the long term
