Coller Capital and Deutsche Bank expand access to private equity secondaries
Coller Capital has aligned with Deutsche Bank to make its flagship private equity secondaries fund, CollerEquity, available to professional and qualified individual investors across Asia and selected EMEA countries. The collaboration is designed to bring institutional-quality secondaries exposure to Deutsche Bank Wealth Management clients. It marks a significant step in the democratisation of private market investing, traditionally the preserve of large institutions. Launched in July 2024, CollerEquity is an open-ended fund with over $800m in net assets. It invests in a diversified portfolio of private equity secondary transactions, providing access to Coller Capital's 35-year track record in the market. Moreover, the fund is structured as a Luxembourg-based SICAV and allows monthly subscriptions and quarterly redemptions, with a minimum commitment of €50,000. Jake Elmhirst, partner, head of private wealth secondaries solutions and deputy head of Capital Formation at Coller Capital stated: 'This global distribution partnership with Deutsche Bank will broaden access to CollerEquity through their extensive client network. We look forward to working in close collaboration with the bank's expert advisers to help private wealth investors enhance their portfolios with the additional diversification, j-curve mitigation and attractive risk-return characteristics that private equity secondaries provide.' The cooperation comes as the secondaries sector experiences unprecedented growth, with transaction volume expected to reach $160bn by 2024. As liquidity remains a critical component of private capital strategies, investors are increasingly looking to secondary markets to acquire exposure to seasoned assets while eliminating the customary extended lock-up periods associated with private equity. CollerEquity's portfolio spans multiple geographies, sectors, vintage years, and fund managers, aiming to deliver a blend of absolute and risk-adjusted returns. Marco Zamberletti, global head of advisory solutions at Deutsche Bank Private Bank shared: 'We are delighted to bring our clients access to top-tier private market secondaries opportunities through our partnership with Coller, in line with our focus on driving strong client outcomes and offering enhanced opportunities to build high-quality and resilient portfolios. We consider private markets secondaries as an integral portfolio component for our qualified clients, and we will continuously expand our offering.' The distribution will be supported by Coller's Private Wealth Secondaries Solutions (PWSS) team, which currently has 50 committed specialists worldwide and is backed by the firm's larger platform. In conformity with local legislation, the fund is also available in various other jurisdictions, including Canada, Australia, Europe, and the Middle East. Boris Maeder, managing director and head of international private wealth distribution at Coller Capital added: 'Coller Capital has always been a pioneering investor. Within our wealth strategy that focus on innovation is no different. As investors increasingly seek strategies that are resilient to volatility and changing market conditions, we are seeing stronger than ever appetite for secondaries as a solution. Alongside our partners at Deutsche Bank, we're honoured to be playing a leading role in making private markets more accessible for a widening universe of qualified investors.' With offices spanning London, Zurich, New York, and several key financial hubs, Coller Capital currently manages $40bn across private equity, private credit, and other private market assets.
