Coller Capital expands private wealth team following private credit secondaries fund launch

Coller Capital has appointed Alexander Ordon as director, Australia and New Zealand, to support the firm’s growing private wealth secondaries solutions business.

Ordon’s appointment comes two months after Coller launched its private credit secondaries fund, broadening the firm’s offering to meet growing investor demand for alternatives.

He has more than 25 years’ experience across wealth management and institutional distribution. Most recently, Ordon was an investment specialist at Melbourne-based hedge fund manager L1 Capital. He has also held senior distribution roles with JP Morgan Asset Management as well as working for Netwealth and Credit Suisse.

Ordon will be based in Sydney where he will work closely with private wealth managers and family offices to broaden access to Coller’s secondaries capabilities.

“I’m excited to join Coller Capital, a recognised global leader in private markets secondaries,” said Ordon.

“Private wealth investors in Australia and New Zealand increasingly seek solutions that require liquidity, diversification and risk mitigation.

“Coller’s strong local presence and global expertise position us well to meet this growing demand. I look forward to working with our clients to help them access the firm’s different secondaries solutions.”

“We are thrilled to welcome Alex to Coller Capital,” said David Hallifax, head of Australia and New Zealand private wealth distribution.

“His deep understanding of the private wealth market in Australia and New Zealand, coupled with his strong relationships with private wealth investors, will be critical to our efforts to expand our offering.

“The recent launch of our private equity and private credit secondaries funds in Australia reflects our commitment to the region and the growing demand for secondaries among private wealth investors.”
