Peter Wu Joins Coller Capital Amid Singapore Expansion

Coller Capital, a leading private market secondaries manager, has expanded its presence in the Asia Pacific region by opening a new office in Singapore. The expansion is part of the firm's strategy to better serve its institutional and private wealth investor bases in Southeast Asia. This marks Coller's fifth office in the Asia Pacific region, adding to locations in Hong Kong, Beijing, Seoul, and Melbourne. Jeremy Coller highlights the maturing market of Asia Pacific private capital as a significant opportunity.
