EQT to acquire Coller Capital for $3.7bn.

EQT, an investment organization, agreed to acquire Coller Capital, an investment firm, for $3.7bn. “Entering the secondaries space with Coller represents a natural and important step in EQT’s strategic development. Secondaries have become an increasingly important tool for clients in managing liquidity and portfolio construction, and in supporting long-term ownership of high-quality assets. Coller is a global leader in this field, with deep expertise. The transaction unlocks growth opportunities for both firms. Together, I believe we can double the size of Coller’s business in less than four years. As a combined firm, we will be exceptionally well positioned to deliver integrated solutions across both primary and secondary markets, underpinned by a disciplined focus on performance,” Per Franzén, EQT CEO and Managing Partner.
