Coller Capital, founded in 1990 by Jeremy Coller, is one of the leading global investors in the private equity secondary market (also known as secondaries).
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.
In recent years, Coller Capital has received a number of private equity accolades:
Coller is a dedicated secondaries investor with interests in over 300 private equity funds and stakes in more than 2,500 private companies throughout the world. The firm also has a multinational investment team and a global reach. Coller is a dedicated secondaries investor and like many of its peers has limited ability to make new commitments to private equity funds.
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.
In 2015, Coller closed its seventh secondaries fund, with total commitments of $7.15 billion.
