Colliers Securities LLC
Colliers Securities LLC was founded around 2005 as the capital markets advisory arm of Colliers International. Robert A. Stanger, a longtime real estate investment banker, serves as Chairman & CEO. The firm operates as a registered investment advisor (RIA) and broker-dealer, distinct from the parent company's core brokerage services. Colliers Securities originates and places private placements primarily in real estate, private credit, infrastructure, healthcare services, and energy transition assets. The firm structures non-traded REITs, BDCs, and other alternative vehicles, then places them through its own distribution network and third-party intermediaries. Typical deals range from $100M to $1B. Known placements include non-traded REITs from sponsors like Blackstone, Starwood, and Inland Real Estate, though Colliers Securities does not typically disclose specific portfolio companies. The firm operates from its headquarters in Miami, Florida, with additional offices in New York City and Los Angeles. It employs roughly 50 professionals across investment banking, capital markets, and distribution roles. Colliers Securities is affiliated with Colliers International, the global real estate services firm, but maintains separate management and regulatory oversight. The firm has no disclosed philanthropic foundation or operating companies. Colliers Securities operates as a hybrid — both an RIA and a broker-dealer — allowing it to execute both advisory and distribution roles. This dual registration is rare among real estate capital markets platforms. The firm's ownership structure as a subsidiary of a publicly traded services group (Colliers International Group, TSX: CIGI) distinguishes it from independent placement agents and private-equity-backed platforms.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Colliers Securities?
Robert A. Stanger has been Chairman & CEO since the firm's founding around 2005. He previously led Stanger & Company, a real estate investment bank. David A. Levine serves as President. Investment and placement decisions are made by the leadership team, subject to the firm's RIA compliance framework.
How does Colliers Securities source deal flow?
Colliers Securities sources deals primarily through its relationship with Colliers International's global real estate network and through direct sponsor relationships. The firm acts as a placement agent for non-traded REITs, BDCs, and private credit funds, often receiving deal flow from sponsors seeking to raise capital through the retail and institutional distribution channels Colliers manages.
Is Colliers Securities a family office or an asset manager?
Colliers Securities is a registered investment advisor (RIA) and broker-dealer. It is not a family office. The firm manages client capital through private placements and advisory services, but its structure as a subsidiary of Colliers International Group aligns more with a specialized capital markets intermediary than a wealth manager or family office.
Does Colliers Securities invest its own capital alongside clients?
Public records do not indicate that Colliers Securities makes proprietary investments alongside its clients. The firm's model is primarily fee-based advisory and placement rather than co-investment. Colliers Securities may occasionally invest in funds it places, but such activity is not a core part of its disclosed business model.
What investment stages does Colliers Securities typically target?
Colliers Securities focuses on private placements for non-traded REITs, BDCs, and private credit funds, which are typically closed-end or interval vehicles. These are not traditional venture or growth-stage investments. The firm's deals are generally in the $100M to $1B range and target institutional and accredited retail investors.
Which sectors does Colliers Securities explicitly avoid?
Colliers Securities does not publicly disclose any explicit avoidance list. Its disclosed activity strongly suggests a focus on real estate and alternative assets — it does not appear active in venture capital, private equity, or public equities. The firm's filings with the SEC indicate it is not a registered fund manager for traditional hedge funds or mutual funds.
Where does the underlying wealth of Colliers Securities come from?
Colliers Securities itself does not manage a single source of wealth. As a subsidiary of Colliers International Group (TSX: CIGI), the firm is owned by public shareholders. Its revenue comes from placement fees, advisory fees, and commissions on private placements — not from managing a concentrated family fortune.
