Peter Wu joins Coller’s private wealth team
Peter Wu, former global head of product control at Partners Group, has joined private market secondaries manager Coller Capital in Singapore, according to an announcement.
Wu’s appointment comes as Coller Capital opens its new Singapore office, aimed at serving a growing institutional and private wealth investor base in Southeast Asia.
“Our expansion into Singapore will allow us to meet this strong demand for investment solutions that offer enhanced liquidity, risk mitigation and diversification,” said Peter Kim, partner and head of Asia and RMB at Coller.
As head of product management and private wealth at Coller Capital, Wu will work closely with the firm’s global Private Wealth Secondaries Solutions (PWSS) team. PWSS was launched in 2023 to provide private wealth investors diversified access to private equity and credit secondaries.
Coller Capital, founded 34 years ago, operates from 10 offices worldwide, including London, New York, Hong Kong, and Montreal. Its Hong Kong office, established in 2012, remains the firm’s regional hub in Asia Pacific.
