Coller Capital, the leading global investor in private capital secondaries, who currently manage over $62 billion AUD in private equity, private credit, and other private market vehicles, have announced that the Coller Private Equity Secondaries Fund is now available on several wealth management platforms, including Colonial First State (CFS) Edge, Netwealth, Hub24, Centric Wealth, FNZ, Clearstream and Praemium.

Launched in October 2024, the Fund is specifically designed for the wholesale investor market, providing advisers and their clients with access to a globally diversified portfolio of private equity secondaries – an asset class traditionally limited to large institutional investors.

David Hallifax, Coller Capital Head of Private Wealth, Australia and New Zealand, said: “The availability of this Fund on these platforms underscores the client demand for a pure play Secondaries manager in private equity.

“We are pleased to partner with platforms that share our vision of delivering institutional-quality solutions to a broader spectrum of investors. This expansion also meets the growing demand from private wealth investors increasingly looking to the private markets to increase diversification and aiming to enhance returns.

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.
