Coller Capital has partnered with Italian lender Cherry Bank to provide wealth investors with access to private credit secondaries.
Under the distribution partnership, Cherry Bank’s Italian wealth clients will gain access to Coller Capital’s private credit secondaries investment strategies.
The firms said the move comes amid growing demand from investors in Italy and across Europe for institutional-quality private markets offerings.
“Italy is one of the most sophisticated and rapidly evolving private wealth markets in Europe, with investors increasingly looking to build strategic allocations to private markets,” said Boris Maeder, partner and head of international private wealth distribution at Coller Capital.

“Private credit secondaries represent an attractive opportunity for investors seeking diversified income, with lower correlation to other parts of their portfolio,” said Francesco Bossi Desiata, head of wealth management at Cherry Bank.
