“We are pleased to partner with platforms that share our vision of delivering institutional-quality solutions to a broader spectrum of investors.

The fund targets mature private equity assets acquired on the secondary market and delivers the hallmark benefits of secondaries investing – accelerated deployment, regular distributions, enhanced diversification, and greater visibility into underlying investments – all within a structure tailored to the needs of wholesale investors and their advisers.

This platform expansion reflects Coller Capital’s continued leadership in the global secondaries market and its commitment to making private capital solutions more accessible, transparent, and effective for investors.

Coller Capital is planning to make the Fund available on other platforms.
