COLLER INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT LTD


Coller Investment Management Limited (“CIM”), a Guernsey limited company, was established in 1995 to act as the general partner of a partnership formed to undertake a secondary purchase of a portfolio of private equity assets. Since then, CIM has acted as the ultimate general partner of a number of funds (the “Client Funds”) formed primarily to pursue privately negotiated investments in the secondary market worldwide. In a typical Client Fund structure, the general partner of the Client Fund is a limited partnership formed to act as general partner of the Client Fund (the “Fund GP”). CIM acts as the general partner of the Fund GPs and through such entities indirectly acts as the ultimate general partner of each Client Fund. As ultimate general partner, CIM has authority to manage the business and affairs of the Client Funds. Management of Client Funds CIM manages each Client Fund in accordance with the particular investment objectives and restrictions set forth in such Client Fund’s confidential private placement memorandum, limited partnership agreement and other governing documents (collectively the “Governing Documents”). CIM’s advisory services for each Client Fund are detailed in the applicable Governing Documents. CIM’s only clients are the Client Funds and CIM neither enters into advisory contracts nor offers investment management or advisory services to individuals or institutions that may be investors in the Client Funds. Accordingly, any reference in this Brochure to “clients” is always a reference to a Client Fund. Investors in Client Funds participate in the overall investment program for the applicable Client Fund but may be excused from particular investments due to legal, regulatory or other applicable constraints. The Client Funds or Fund GPs may enter into side letters or similar agreements with some investors that have the effect of establishing rights under, or altering or supplementing, a Client Fund’s Governing Documents. Investors generally are not permitted to withdraw or redeem interests in the Client Funds. Co-investments From time to time, a Fund GP may provide some investors, including strategic partners, and third parties with opportunities (including through participation in co-investment vehicles) to co-invest in selected investments alongside a Client Fund. While CIM and its affiliates have developed a framework for strategic partnerships and co-investments, each Fund GP retains sole discretion with respect to offering any co-investments pertaining to the related Client Fund, including the selection of co-investors, and has no obligation to offer any such opportunities to any particular investors, or at all. Potential participants in co-investment opportunities may be selected as strategic partners, based on the relevant Fund GP’s determination that their participation would have the potential to result in a superior investment outcome and thereby provide benefits to the related Client Fund. Relevant selection criteria may include  a potential co-investor’s skills or knowledge regarding specific underlying assets, a relevant industry sector, geography or jurisdiction, a transaction structure or a transaction counterparty,  a potential co-investor’s ability to invest an amount of capital that fits the needs of the investment or investments in question, (taking into account the amount of capital needed as well as the maximum number of co-investors that can realistically participate), or  a potential co-investor’s ability to commit to an opportunity within the required timeframe. A Fund GP may also take into account whether a potential co-investor has expressed an interest in evaluating co-investment opportunities, the terms of any potential co-investor’s side letter with the Fund GP, or other factors from time to time considered appropriate by the Fund GP in its sole discretion, which factors may or may not be relevant to the investment or investments in question. A Fund GP may, however, decide to offer co-investments for other reasons too, for example, where it believes that one or more co-investments alongside the related Client Fund are necessary or appropriate to ensure that the risk appetite and investing capacity of the Client Fund, taking into account portfolio construction, covenant compliance and other relevant considerations, are not exceeded in connection with a particular investment. Transaction-specific returns, and an investor’s overall returns from its indirect exposure to any investment, may be affected significantly by the extent to which such Investor is offered and chooses to participate in any co-investment opportunity. Co-investments typically involve investment at the same time and on the same terms as the Client Fund making the investment, subject to any exceptions set forth in the Governing Documents of the Client Fund. Alternatively, from time to time, for strategic, structuring or other reasons, a co-investor may purchase a portion of an investment from a Client Fund. Any such purchase will typically occur shortly after the Client Fund’s completion of the investment to avoid any changes in valuation, and the co- investor may be charged interest on the purchase price to compensate the Client Fund for the holding period. In general, any co- investor will not invest in or through any vehicle managed by CIM or any of its affiliates, but will invest, directly or through one or more investment vehicles, in underlying third-party funds or companies. As such, a co-investor will bear its own transaction and other costs associated with its investment and will not share in fees, costs, expenses or liabilities (including, among other things, any broken deal expenses) incurred by CIM or any of its affiliates on behalf of the relevant Client Fund unless such sharing is specifically agreed. CIM does not aggregate the performance of co-investments with that of any of its current Client Funds, including for purposes of determining CIM’s fees or carried interest. Regulatory status and permissions CIM is licensed and regulated by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission (the “GFSC”). While CIM is also registered with the SEC as an investment adviser, it is not required to comply with many of the substantive requirements under the U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers Act”) because it has its principal office and place of business outside of the United States and is deemed to have no direct advisory clients in the United States. Generally, CIM is only required to comply with specified recordkeeping requirements and CIM is not required to provide a brochure to its non-US clients. Although not required to provide this Brochure, CIM has prepared this Brochure to provide information that may be of interest to existing and potential investors. CIM has retained Coller Capital Limited (“CCL”), an English limited company, to serve as its investment adviser in relation to the Client Funds. CCL is authorized and regulated by the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”). For Advisers Act purposes, CCL is an exempt reporting adviser; that is, it relies on the private fund adviser exemption from registration but files reports on an annual basis with the SEC. Pursuant to its authorization by the FCA, CCL is permitted to advise on, and arrange deals in, specified types of investments. CCL is not authorized to manage investments and does not have discretionary authority over any client assets. Discretionary authority over all client assets rests solely with CIM. CCL receives non-discretionary sub-advisory services from its wholly owned subsidiary, Coller Capital, Inc. (“CCI”), a New York corporation. CCI is registered with the SEC as an investment adviser. CCL is a “participating affiliate” of CCI as that term has been used by the SEC’s Division of Investment Management. Both CIM and CCL are subsidiaries of CICAP Limited. The ultimate principal owner of both CIM and CCL is Jeremy Coller. As of March 31, 2019, CIM had $14.9693 billion in discretionary assets under management. please register to get more info
