Coller Capital Raises $17B for Private Equity Secondaries

Coller Capital has finalized its latest fundraising, amassing an impressive $17 billion for its global private equity secondaries platform. This substantial capital injection, channeled through Coller International Partners IX (CIP IX), solidifies the firm's standing as a preeminent force in the secondary market and represents its largest fund to date. The new vehicle is earmarked for both limited partner (LP)-led and general partner (GP)-led secondary transactions, encompassing single and multi-asset opportunities worldwide.

The firm's expanded Assets Under Management now reach a formidable $50 billion, underscoring its significant scale and deep market penetration. CIP IX's strategy aligns with Coller Capital's established approach, focusing on acquiring high-quality portfolios to deliver robust, risk-adjusted returns and consistent performance. This diversification into secondaries offers investors a valuable avenue to access private equity assets with enhanced liquidity and reduced J-curve effects, a critical advantage in today's dynamic financial environment.

This latest fund attracted a remarkably diverse investor base, drawing commitments from over 250 institutions globally. The roster includes prominent pension funds, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, asset managers, and other leading financial institutions. The significant deployment rate, with over 70% of CIP IX already allocated, highlights the active deployment capabilities and the strong deal flow Coller Capital consistently accesses.

With a dedicated team of 77 investment professionals operating across 11 international offices, Coller Capital boasts one of the largest and most experienced secondaries investment groups in the industry. This extensive network and deep expertise enable the firm to navigate and execute complex, large-scale transactions. The firm's 35-year history in the secondaries space provides a unique vantage point, allowing it to adapt and expand its offerings, including recent forays into credit secondaries and perpetual capital solutions for the wealth management sector.

The private equity secondaries market has experienced a surge in activity, with 2025 marking a record year. Market volatility and an increased need for liquidity have driven more investors to recognize the strategic benefits of secondaries. As Jeremy Coller, Chief Investment Officer and Managing Partner, noted, secondaries are transitioning from a tactical tool to a fundamental component of diversified investment portfolios. This shift validates Coller Capital's long-term vision and its position as a trusted partner with decades of specialized experience.

Remy Kawkabani, Deputy Managing Partner, echoed this sentiment, expressing gratitude for the continued trust placed in Coller Capital's platform. He emphasized the firm's enduring commitment to helping global investors achieve portfolio diversification and strong returns. As the largest dedicated manager in private market secondaries, Coller Capital remains energized by the opportunity to build upon its legacy and deliver exceptional value to its limited partners.
