Coller Capital is one of the world's leading investors in the secondary market for private assets — and widely acknowledged as an innovator in secondaries. Founded in 1990, the firm provides liquidity solutions to private markets investors worldwide, acquiring interests in private equity, private credit, and other private markets assets through both LP-led and GP-led secondary transactions. Its flagship funds target high-quality portfolios globally, seeking to deliver strong, risk-adjusted returns and resilient performance by providing investors with diversified exposure to high-quality equity and credit assets. With $54 billion in AUM and 77 investment professionals across 11 global offices, Coller operates as the world's largest dedicated secondaries manager. The firm has expanded beyond its core private equity secondaries franchise into dedicated credit secondaries funds, equity and credit perpetual funds for the wealth market, and insurance and structured product solutions — reflecting its view that secondaries are "no longer seen as a tactical portfolio rebalancing tool but a core component of diversified portfolios."
