Coller Capital, the world’s largest dedicated private market secondaries manager with over $50bn under management, today announces a distribution partnership with Mediobanca Private Banking to offer Coller Equity Feeder (“CollerEquity” or “The Fund”) exclusively to High-Net-Worth and Ultra-High-Net-Worth clients in Italy.
CollerEquity sits within Coller Capital’s $4 billion evergreen platform which, provides institutional and professional investors with access to Coller Capital’s 35 years of secondaries investment expertise. The Fund’s portfolio consists of institutional-quality private equity assets diversified by manager, fund vintage, geography and sector. Alongside diversification, The Fund seeks to deliver a combination of absolute and risk-adjusted returns and the potential for greater liquidity compared with traditional private equity funds.
The partnership aligns with Mediobanca Private Banking’s strategic focus on alternatives. Mediobanca Private Banking has long been a pioneer in opening private markets to Italian professional investors, frequently acting as a first mover in offering evergreen strategies through partnerships with leading global managers. The introduction of CollerEquity continues this legacy by expanding access to institutional‑quality secondaries within an evergreen structure.
Mediobanca Private Banking’s bankers will be supported by Coller’s Private Wealth Secondaries Solutions (PWSS) team, which comprises more than 70 dedicated professionals supported by the wider Coller platform, including Jonathan Aiach and Claudio Caruso, who are dedicated to the Italian market.
Jake Elmhirst, Partner, Head of Private Wealth Secondaries Solutions and Head of Capital Formation at Coller Capital, said: “Mediobanca has long led the way in bringing high quality private markets opportunities to Italian qualified investors. We are pleased to join forces to expand access to institutional grade private equity secondaries across the wealth channel.”
Greta Teot, Executive Director and Head of Private Markets at Mediobanca Private Banking, said: “Secondary strategies have evolved from a tactical allocation within private investors’ portfolios into a core strategic component, supported by the structural expansion and increasing sophistication of the market. The evergreen structure further enhances these intrinsic advantages, enabling investors to access diversification, visibility and cash flow dynamics in a more efficient way. Our partnership with Coller Capital, the world’s largest dedicated secondaries investor, adds a powerful capability to our platform and reinforces our commitment to providing high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients with increasingly sophisticated, diversified and tailored private markets solutions.”
Boris Maeder, Managing Director and Head of International Private Wealth Distribution at Coller Capital, said: “Secondaries, particularly through evergreen structures, are well positioned to become a core portfolio allocation thanks to their compelling risk‑return profile. Together with Mediobanca, we are proud to broaden access to institutional‑quality secondaries solutions for qualified investors in Italy.”
