February 3, 2025 – Coller Capital, the largest dedicated secondaries manager, has launched the Coller Private Credit Secondaries Fund (the Fund) in Australia.
The Fund, the first of its kind in Australia, offers high net worth investors[1] access to Coller’s proven expertise and innovative approach to private credit secondaries.
Partner and Head of Coller Credit Secondaries, Michael Schad said, “This new fund reflects our leadership in developing next-generation investment solutions and is an exciting step in providing individual investors with access to credit secondaries, previously only available to institutional investors. Our pioneering role in credit secondaries since 2007 positions us uniquely to deliver meaningful results for our investors.”
Head of Australia and New Zealand Private Wealth Distribution, David Hallifax added, “Private wealth investors increasingly recognise the value of fixed-income alternatives, and private credit secondaries present a compelling opportunity.
“Australian high net worth investors will now have access to a global platform that combines decades of secondaries expertise with a deep understanding of private credit markets.”
The Fund seeks to deliver a combination of absolute and risk-adjusted returns, diversification, and the opportunity for more liquidity than traditional private credit funds. It will provide private investors with exposure to Coller Capital’s 34 years of secondaries investment expertise and global platform.
Coller Capital continues its strategic expansion into the private wealth market globally, including in Australia. Coller established an office in Melbourne in 2024 and launched the Private Equity Secondaries Fund in Australia for the private wealth channel in October 2024.
[1] The offer of units in the Fund is available to wholesale clients as defined in the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) residing from within Australia and/or New Zealand.
