CollerEquity is a flagship private equity secondaries fund developed by Coller Capital, specifically tailored for private wealth investors. This fund offers eligible professional and qualified non-U.S. investors the opportunity to participate in the private equity secondary market, which involves acquiring existing stakes in private equity funds from current investors. CollerEquity provides investors with access to a diversified portfolio of private equity assets, which could enhance their investment returns. The fund is available in multiple regions such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, and New Zealand.
History and Purpose
Launched in 2024, the Coller Credit Opportunities Fund is designed to offer exposure to credit secondaries—an area of the market that remains relatively underdeveloped but is growing rapidly. The goal is simple: provide investors with a way to access seasoned, income-generating credit assets through a flexible, evergreen structure.
Coller Credit is not a traditional direct lending fund, instead, it focuses on acquiring credit exposure in the secondary market, buying into existing loan positions or credit funds, which is often at a discount. That means lower entry risk, and shorter duration exposure, and immediate yield—all valuable in a market where capital is more expensive and traditional lending is tightening.
Structure & Liquidity
The fund is structured as a SICAV and is domiciled in Luxembourg, with subscriptions available in USD, EUR, and CHF. It offers monthly subscriptions and quarterly redemptions, capped at 5% of NAV per quarter, providing more access than most private credit vehicles.
Minimum investment is set at €50,000, making it accessible to a wide range of professional investors. Importantly, there’s no carry—investors pay a 1.5% management fee, but performance isn’t subject to profit sharing.
Strategy
The fund targets senior secured credit, sourced “primarily” through the secondary market. The portfolio includes direct lending, distressed credit and special situations, all acquired second-hand from LPs or institutions looking to sell.
The benefits:
- Avoids the J-curve typical of primary credit funds
- Taps into discounted pricing during market dislocations
- Provides exposure to mature, cash-generating assets
With a geo tilted to North America (57%) and Europe (41%), and strong diversification across different sectors, the fund is built to deliver steady yield with downside protection.

The fund is managed by Coller Capital’s dedicated credit team, operating within one of the most experienced secondaries platforms globally. The team draws on Coller’s deep relationships across GPs, LPs, and credit managers to source high-quality, off-market deals.
