With the opening of this new beachhead in Europe, we are excited to grow and better support our client base of GPs around the world,” said Warren Hibbert, co-founder and Managing Partner at Asante. “With GPs facing a tougher fundraising environment than ever before amid fundraising compression and market uncertainty, ensuring we’re able to continue generating successful outcomes by remaining very close to our stakeholders is vital.”
