Private market secondaries manager Coller Capital has formed its fifth Asia office in Singapore.
Coller Capital has established a Singapore office to serve institutional and private wealth investor bases in Southeast Asia, according to a statement.
Peter Wu has been appointed as head of product management, private wealth, based in the city-state. He will be joined by two local investor relations colleagues who will work closely with the firm’s private wealth secondaries solutions (PWSS) team.
Wu has over 14 years of experience and was previously global head of product control at Partners Group, where he led product operations for private markets funds with a focus on private wealth offerings. Prior to that, he worked at BDO for seven years, managing audit and consulting engagements for global companies.
PWSS Team
PWSS was launched in 2023 to provide wealth investors access to the private equity and private credit secondaries market through a diversified, institutional-grade quality portfolio. In Singapore, Coller Capital will market funds to institutional and private wealth investors indirectly through licensed intermediaries such as private banks.
«The Southeast Asian market presents significant opportunities for our business, with a growing appetite for secondaries among institutional LPs and private wealth investors. Our expansion into Singapore will allow us to meet this strong demand for investment solutions that offer enhanced liquidity, risk mitigation and diversification,» commented Peter Kim, partner and head of Asia and RMB.
Singapore will become Coller Capital’s fifth location in Asia Pacific alongside Beijing, Seoul, Melbourne as well as Hong Kong, its hub for the region since the office was opened in 2012. It also has offices in London, New York, Luxembourg, Zurich and Montreal. Globally, the firm has $36 billion in assets under management and 34 years of experience in the secondary private capital market.
