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.

Frequently asked questions

Why do dedicated specialists appear in relatively few APAC deals?
Size and documentation. Global specialists underwrite transactions large enough to justify the diligence cost and standardised enough to price, and much of the region's activity is mid-market and bilateral.
Are APAC fund stakes priced differently from US or European ones?
Generally at wider discounts, reflecting thinner information, longer expected holds, currency exposure and a smaller buyer pool. The gap narrows for large, well-documented portfolios.
