Asante Capital Group is bolstering its Asia-Pacific secondaries business with a senior appointment. Former Evercore director Robin Seng has relocated from Singapore to Hong Kong to join the advisory firm as managing director, according to a statement. The managing director will be responsible for originating and leading APAC secondaries transactions for the adviser.

Seng's appointment comes after a four-month hiatus. He departed from Evercore in March after six years at the firm, Secondaries Investor revealed at the time. The move signals Asante's continued commitment to expanding its footprint in the Asia-Pacific secondaries market, a region that has seen increasing deal flow and investor appetite for liquidity solutions.

As a specialist placement agent and advisory firm, Asante Capital Group has been actively building its secondaries advisory capabilities across key global markets. The addition of Seng, with his extensive experience at Evercore advising on complex secondary transactions, strengthens the firm's ability to serve general partners and limited partners navigating the evolving APAC secondaries landscape.

Industry observers note that the hire reflects broader trends of advisory firms investing in dedicated secondaries coverage as the asset class matures and transaction volumes grow across the region.
