Coller Capital

Founder Jeremy Coller spent five years buying private equity fund stakes for a UK pension plan before launching Coller Capital in 1990 to do the same thing as an independent business — at the time, a market that barely existed. The firm is widely credited as the pioneer of LP-led secondaries: buying an investor's remaining stake in a private equity fund before that fund has finished paying out.

Coller completed its first GP-led transaction in 1996 and has since built one of the largest dedicated secondaries platforms globally, investing across buyout, venture, credit, and infrastructure fund stakes from offices spanning 11 cities.

In January 2026, Swedish private-markets group EQT agreed to acquire Coller Capital for up to $3.7 billion, forming a new "Coller EQT" business unit inside EQT's private markets platform. Jeremy Coller is set to continue leading the business and join EQT's executive committee, with Coller retaining independence over its own origination and investment decisions.
