About

APAC secondaries activity
Coller Capital runs an active Asia-Pacific secondaries practice, part of the wave of global secondaries specialists expanding regional coverage as APAC's own dry powder and deal count grow.
What a transaction here looks like
A dedicated secondaries specialist does one thing: buy existing positions. In APAC that means portfolios of fund stakes sold by institutions and participation in GP-led continuation vehicles. Unlike a diversified manager, there is no other side of the house — every transaction is a purchase of something already owned by someone else.
Who sits on the other side
Counterparties are institutions rebalancing private-markets exposure and managers running continuation processes. A specialist's presence in a regional transaction indicates the deal was large and standard enough to interest a global buyer — most APAC transactions are neither, which is why the specialists appear in a small share of them.
