Coller Capital collects more than $9bn to close latest giant secondaries fund

Coller Capital, a leading global investor in private equity secondaries, closed Coller International Partners VIII (CIP VIII) on 18 January 2021, with committed capital (including co-investment vehicles) of just over $9 billion.

Like its seven predecessor funds, CIP VIII will take a flexible approach. Advised by a multinational team based in London, New York and Hong Kong, the fund will target a wide array of secondary transactions, targeting assets and sellers located anywhere in the world, and making individual investments of up to $1 billion or more in size.

CIP VIII has over 200 Limited Partners worldwide. At the end of December 2020, the fund had already committed almost one third of its final committed capital.

Coller Capital, the leading player in private equity ‘secondaries’, acquires portfolios of positions in private equity funds and unquoted companies from their original owners – investing from as little as $1 million to $1 billion or more. Founded in 1990, the firm is headquartered in London, and has offices in New York and Hong Kong
