As a secondary investor, Coller Capital acquires original investors’ stakes in private equity funds (venture capital, buyout and mezzanine) together with portfolios of companies or stakes in companies, from financial institutions, corporates, government bodies, family offices or charitable foundations. The firm has completed some of the largest transactions in the private equity secondary market – $1 billion or more without the need for syndication. However, Coller Capital has also made single investments as small as $1 million in size.

The firm releases the Coller Capital Global Private Equity Barometer, a survey of investors, biannually.[3]

Investment history

In 2012, the firm closed its sixth secondaries fund, Coller International Partners VI, with capital commitments of $5.5 billion and backing from almost 200 of the world’s leading institutional investors.[4]

In 2015, Coller closed its seventh secondaries fund, with total commitments of $7.15 billion.[5]
