Shell Oil
In June 1998, Coller Capital purchased the private equity funds portfolio of Shell’s US pension fund. Coller Capital acquired the entire portfolio, consisting of seven venture funds, five buyout funds and two mezzanine funds, including their contingent liabilities. Coller Capital closed the $265 million transaction within two and half weeks.

The transaction was a milestone for the private equity secondaries market – the largest secondaries deal of its time.
