Reuters UK – London-based Coller Capital, which specialises in buying private equity from investors making early exits, said on Monday it expects to launch a new fund this year to tap growing interest in the "secondary" market for private equity.
The firm’s $4.8 billion (3.3 billion pounds) Coller International Partners V fund, which closed in April 2007, is currently more than 50 percent invested, Alex Sao-Wei Lee, the firm’s Singapore-based principal, said at the Reuters Private Equity and Hedge Funds Summit.
