Based in Sydney, Ordon will support the firm’s growing Private Wealth Secondaries Solutions business, working closely with private wealth managers and family offices to broaden access to Coller’s market-leading secondaries capabilities.
Ordon said: “I’m excited to join Coller Capital, a recognised global leader in private markets secondaries. Private wealth investors in Australia and New Zealand increasingly seek solutions that require liquidity, diversification and risk mitigation.
“Coller’s strong local presence and global expertise position us well to meet this growing demand. I look forward to working with our clients to help them access the firm’s different secondaries solutions.”
David Hallifax, Head of Australia and New Zealand Private Wealth Distribution, added: “We are thrilled to welcome Alex to Coller Capital. His deep understanding of the private wealth market in Australia and New Zealand, coupled with his strong relationships with private wealth investors, will be critical to our efforts to expand our offering.
“The recent launch of our private equity and private credit secondaries funds in Australia reflects our commitment to the region and the growing demand for secondaries among private wealth investors.”
A senior executive with more than 25 years’ experience across wealth management and institutional distribution, Ordon has built trusted relationships with private banks, multi-managers, family offices and high-net-worth investors.
Before joining Coller, he was an Investment Specialist at L1 Capital, a Melbourne-based hedge fund manager. He has also held senior distribution roles with a specialist global equity manager and J.P. Morgan Asset Management as well as working for Netwealth and Credit Suisse.
Ordon’s appointment comes at a time of growing momentum for Coller’s Private Wealth Secondaries Solutions platform. In late 2024, the firm launched its first Australian-domiciled private equity secondaries fund, providing eligible private wealth investors with access to Coller’s diversified secondaries strategies.
This was followed in February 2025 by the launch if its private credit secondaries fund, broadening the firm’s offering to meet growing investor demand for alternatives.
