Coller Capital
Jeremy Coller founded Coller Capital in 1990, establishing the firm as one of the earliest independent specialists in the private equity secondaries market. The firm has since expanded its footprint to include infrastructure and private credit secondaries, operating as a multi-family office that advises several wealthy families alongside institutional LPs. Coller Capital's strategy focuses on acquiring limited partnership interests in private equity, infrastructure, and private credit funds. The firm also structures secondary transactions for entire portfolios, often collaborating with family offices and sovereign wealth funds. Reported positions include stakes in global buyout and venture capital funds managed by firms such as KKR and Apax Partners. The firm employs over 180 professionals across offices in London, New York, and Hong Kong. In 2024, Coller Capital established a philanthropic foundation, the Coller Foundation, which is separate from its investment activities. The foundation focuses on systemic issues including global public health and climate change. Coller Capital's structural differentiator is its singular focus on the secondaries market, which gives it deep expertise in pricing and executing complex transactions. The firm also runs the Coller Institute of Private Equity at the London Business School, a research program that advances academic understanding of private equity secondaries.
