Coller Capital, Deutsche Bank
UK-headquartered Coller Capital, a private market secondaries manager, has launched a distribution partnership with Deutsche Bank. 

This partnership will see Coller Private Equity Secondaries Fund offered to professional and qualified Deutsche Bank wealth management clients in Asia and selected countries in EMEA.

(“Secondaries” refers to the purchase of pre-existing investment stakes in areas such as private equity, credit, etc.)

CollerEquity, which launched in July 2024, has more than $800 million of net assets in capital in secondary private equity transactions. The fund provides both institutional and qualified non-institutional clients with access to Coller Capital’s expertise and global platform through a Luxembourg domiciled SICAV structure. Coller, in total, manages $40 billion in secondaries across private equity, private credit, and other private market vehicles.

“The secondaries market is a critical provider of liquidity to the wider private capital ecosystem, with a record estimated volume of $160 billion in transactions completed during 2024,” Coller Capital said in a statement last week. 

The fund offers monthly subscriptions and quarterly redemptions. It can be accessed with a $50,000 minimum commitment.

CollerEquity and its regional feeder funds are available to professional and qualified investors in jurisdictions including across Europe, the Middle East, Canada, Asia, and Australia. The fund’s clients are supported by Coller’s Private Wealth Secondaries Solutions team. The firm has offices in London, New York, Hong Kong, Beijing, Seoul, Luxembourg, Zurich, Melbourne, Montreal and Singapore. 

RQI Investors
RQI Investors, an Australia-based global quantitative manager within the First Sentier Investors group, that manages $15.4 billion, last week launched a UCITS vehicle of its Global Value strategy available to UK, European, Singaporean and Canadian investors. 

The RQI Investors’ Global Value Fund is the latest vehicle of RQI Investors’ flagship Global Value Strategy; first launched in 2008. The strategy collectively manages more than $6.5 billion (as at 31 March 2025). 

The new vehicle is being seeded with $50 million, including $20 million from a family office, with a further $30 million co-investment from RQI Investors’ parent company, First Sentier Investors.

The strategy has, RQI Investors said, delivered top quartile performance versus Value peers (both quants and stock pickers) outperforming the median global value managers in the Nasdaq eVestment database, by 3.6 per cent per annum, 2.5 per cent p.a, 1.6 per cent and 1.3 per cent over the last three, five, seven and ten years respectively.

“This is an exciting development for RQI Investors, the company’s first investment vehicle outside of Australia as we seek to grow our highly successful business internationally. The Global Value strategy has an impressive 16-year track record, is highly regarded by global asset consultants and has excellent Australian based research house ratings,” RQI Investors’ CEO, Andrew Francis said in a statement.

“To achieve this scale of seed investment from a family office is a huge endorsement of RQI Investors’ strategy and team, as is the confidence demonstrated by First Sentier Investors in matching the investment,” Francis said.

The strategy is run by Dr Joanna Nash, Dr Ron Guido, and Dr Wang Chun Wei and head of investments, Dr David Walsh, each of whom have been with RQI Investors for approximately five years.
