Coller Secondaries Private Equity Opportunities Fund surpasses $1 Billion AUM milestone

  • The US-registered evergreen secondaries fund has delivered a 17.93% annualized return for I-share investors since inception1
  • Coller Capital’s global Private Wealth Secondaries Solutions business surpasses $5 billion raised across private equity and credit strategies

New York, 18 November 2025 – Coller Capital, one of the world’s largest dedicated private market secondaries managers, today announces that its Coller Secondaries Private Equity Opportunities Fund (“C-SPEF”) has surpassed US $1 billion in assets under management as of September 2025.

Launched in April 2024, C-SPEF has seen strong momentum since inception, driven by steady subscriptions from a diverse investor base across institutional, intermediary, and private wealth channels. The fund provides investors access to private market secondaries through an evergreen structure, offering exposure to highly diversified private equity portfolios.

Over its first 18 months, C-SPEF’s Class I-shares have delivered a 17.93% annualized return since inception, reflecting both strong underlying asset performance and Coller’s three decades of expertise in secondary market investing.1

The fund has established exposure to 128 investments across 1,254 portfolio companies, spanning 70 leading private equity sponsors including TPG, CVC, Carlyle, and Blackstone. These investments underscore C-SPEF’s scale and diversification, providing investors with a global portfolio of buyout and growth opportunities across North America, Europe, and Asia.2

C-SPEF’s growth aligns with surging wealth channel demand for private market secondaries, which historically have offered shorter investment durations, greater transparency, and less volatile cash-flow profiles than traditional primary private equity funds. This demand has accelerated through 2024–2025 as investors seek differentiated private market access solutions.

Jon McEvoy, Managing Director and Head of US Private Wealth Distribution at Coller Capital, said: “Crossing the billion-dollar threshold underscores the strength of our platform and the appetite among wealth investors for access to high quality private market secondaries. C-SPEF brings Coller’s three decades of secondaries expertise to a broader investor base, offering diversification, transparency, and performance in a single evergreen structure.”

Jake Elmhirst, Partner and Global Head of Private Wealth and Capital Formation at Coller Capital, said: “Private markets have steadily evolved toward greater liquidity and access, and the rise of evergreen structures for wealth investors marks a significant milestone in that journey. Coller Capital is proud to have played a role in this transformation, a result of years of innovation and commitment to expanding opportunities for investors globally. This milestone reflects the growing recognition that secondaries are not just a specialist strategy but a core component of long-term private market investing.”

Coller Capital’s Private Wealth Secondaries Solutions (PWSS) business, launched in 2023, has raised over US $5 billion in private wealth assets globally. Leveraging the strength of Coller’s global platform across 10 global offices, the private wealth business is now home to more than 65 dedicated professionals with significant expansion in North America and Europe.3

Coller Capital has offices in London, New York, Hong Kong, Beijing, Seoul, Luxembourg, Zurich, Melbourne, Montreal and Singapore. The firm manages $46 billion in secondaries across private equity, private credit, and other private market vehicles and has 35 years of experience in the secondary private capital market.3
