Coller Capital completes its largest ever fundraise, raising $17 billion for its private equity secondaries platform, reflecting rising institutional interest and market maturity.
Coller Capital has completed the final close of Coller International Partners IX (CIP IX), marking the largest fundraise in the firm’s history and bringing total capital raised for its private equity secondaries platform in the latest cycle to $17 billion, the company said.
According to Coller Capital, CIP IX will invest in LP-led and GP-led secondary transactions globally, focusing on high-quality portfolios to deliver “strong, risk-adjusted returns and resilient performance” by offering diversified exposure to mature private equity equity assets. The firm said the fund was already more than 70% deployed and that the broader secondaries platform comprises commingled funds, co-investment vehicles, separately managed accounts and its equity perpetual funds. Coller’s assets under management now stand at $50 billion, the company added.
“2025 was another record year for the secondary market as market volatility and a heightened demand for liquidity attracted more investors to the many virtues of secondaries. Secondaries are no longer seen as a tactical portfolio rebalancing tool but a core component of diversified portfolios,” Jeremy Coller, chief investment officer and managing partner of Coller Capital, said in the announcement. “We are entering secondaries’ finest hour and I’m delighted our investors trust us as the most experienced secondaries investor with more than thirty five years of experience in the market.”
The fundraising attracted a broad institutional investor base, with Coller reporting participation from more than 250 investors worldwide, including pension funds, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, asset managers and financial institutions. “We are honored by the trust and support that our investors continue to show in our secondaries platform,” Remy Kawkabani, deputy managing partner, said.
Independent advisers to the transaction noted the scale of the raise. Simpson Thacher said it advised Coller Capital on the formation and closing of CIP IX, underscoring the size and complexity of the deal.
Industry commentary and reporting framed the raise as further evidence of the institutionalisation of the secondaries market. Publications covering the close described CIP IX as targeting both single-asset and multi-asset opportunities and noted that the wider platform gives investors near-immediate diversification and exposure to mature private equity assets. One report also noted that CIP IX launched in 2022 and that Coller had previously executed innovative capital solutions, including a $2.4 billion structured funding vehicle in April 2025 and the launch of a Secondaries Institute in June 2025 to support research and education in the sector.
Coller has in recent years expanded its private wealth offering. The firm says its Private Wealth Secondaries Solutions business, launched in 2023, had raised more than $5 billion in private wealth assets globally as of June 30, 2025, and now counts over 65 dedicated professionals across an expanded footprint in North America and Europe. Separately, Coller reported that the Coller Secondaries Private Equity Opportunities Fund (C-SPEF) surpassed $1 billion in assets under management as of September 2025.
The size and pace of deployment of CIP IX come against a backdrop of heightened demand for liquidity and an evolving secondary market where investors increasingly treat secondaries as a core allocation rather than a tactical adjustment. Coller’s raise cements its position among the largest dedicated secondaries managers globally and illustrates continuing appetite among large institutional investors for access to mature private market exposures.

Summary:
The article reports on Coller Capital’s final closing of Coller International Partners IX, raising $17 billion for its private equity secondaries platform.
