Coller International Partners V

Coller International Partners V

Coller International Partners V (CIP V) is a flagship secondaries fund managed by Coller Capital, the London-headquartered firm that pioneered institutional-scale private-equity secondaries under founder Jeremy Coller. The firm launched its dedicated secondaries strategy in the early 1990s, when the market for buying existing LP commitments was still an opaque, ad-hoc exercise. CIP V represents the fifth iteration of that core strategy, raised as institutions around the world began treating secondaries not as a distress trade but as a portfolio-management tool. Coller's strategy centers on acquiring limited-partner interests in buyout, venture, and growth-equity funds across North America and Europe. The firm also executes GP-led transactions — structured deals where a general partner rolls a portfolio company into a continuation vehicle and Coller provides the capital. Asset-class coverage spans large-cap buyout positions, mid-market funds, and select venture portfolios. Notable positions from earlier Coller funds include stakes acquired from major European banks and pension plans during post-crisis regulatory selloffs. The broader Coller Capital platform manages over $25 billion across its fund series (per Bloomberg, 2021) and operates out of London, New York, and Hong Kong. Coller's principal investment committee — historically led by Jeremy Coller alongside a stable group of partners — makes all deployment decisions. The firm does not run adjacent co-investment vehicles or direct operating companies; it is a pure secondaries and private-equity fund-of-funds manager. May 2023: Coller Capital closed a continuation-vehicle deal involving a portfolio of European buyout fund stakes (per Secondaries Investor, May 2023). What structurally differentiates Coller from most secondaries managers is its first-mover institution-building. Coller didn't just raise capital into a secondaries strategy — he defined the asset class for LPs, creating a multi-fund series when competitors were running one-off pools. The firm's longevity and fund-numbering discipline (CIP I through CIP VIII) signal a permanent allocation institution, not an opportunistic trade desk, giving it access to deal flow most generalist managers never see.
