How Cyndee Harding Stepped Into Asset Management to Safeguard Investor Returns

In this episode of Beyond the Deal, host Michael Wagman sits down with Cyndee Harding, a capital raiser who discovered her true calling in asset management. After helping raise over $5 million in her first year, Cyndee realized the real challenge wasn’t just getting into deals—it was managing them responsibly after the close.

She shares how stepping into asset management gave her a deeper sense of purpose, what it really takes to protect investor capital, and why she believes this side of the business is too often overlooked. Cyndee also talks about navigating partnerships, recognizing red flags, and how she learned to speak up and lead behind the scenes.

If you’ve ever focused solely on acquisition or capital raising, this episode will open your eyes to the importance—and impact—of strong asset management.

✅ Why asset management is critical for long-term investor trust

✅ How Cyndee approached her first asset management role without prior experience

✅ The importance of speaking up when something feels off

✅ What to look for in partners beyond the pitch deck
