Cantilever Group’s Post

What's the untapped opportunity in GP stakes? Hear 30 year asset management industry veteran Todd Owens, Co-Founder & Managing Partner at Cantilever Group, discuss why GP stakes has become a solution for asset managers and why the middle-market is an underserved and attractive segment of alternative asset management. Todd and I had a fascinating conversation on the latest Alt Goes Mainstream podcast. We discussed: * The evolution of alternative asset managers from Todd’s perspective as a banker to many alternative asset managers. * Why GP stakes has become a solution for alternative asset managers.  * Why and how alternative asset managers are businesses and why it can make sense for them to take investment to grow. * The benefits of GP stakes for investors and why the growing AUM of private markets means investors could benefit from exposure to GP ownership. * The risks and challenges with GP stakes as an investment strategy. * Why the middle market is an underserved and attractive segment in alternative asset management. * What the currency of consolidation will look like in alternative asset management. * What it means to grow and evolve a business as an alternative asset manager. Thanks Todd for coming on the show to share your wisdom and expertise on alternative asset management.
