Coller Secondaries Private Equity Opportunities Fund

Dear Investor,

Coller Capital is pleased to present the Annual Report for Coller Secondaries Private Equity Opportunities Fund ("C-SPEF" or "the Fund") for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026. Please find enclosed a summary of the Fund's performance, portfolio breakdown and financial statements for the fiscal year.

Background on Coller Capital and Private Wealth Secondaries Solutions

Coller Capital, founded in 1990, is one of the world's leading investors in the secondary market for private assets – and widely acknowledged as an innovator and specialist in secondaries.

The Firm provides liquidity solutions to private market investors worldwide, acquiring interests in private equity, private credit, and other private market assets. With headquarters in London and offices across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific, Coller's multinational investment team has a truly global reach, operating across 12 offices worldwide.

In February 2023, Coller Capital announced the creation of its global Private Wealth Secondaries Solutions (PWSS) business to provide high-net-worth individuals with greater access to private capital markets.

Leveraging Coller Capital's extensive track record as a global leader in the secondary market for private assets, PWSS has developed a series of tailored offerings, featuring easier access and enhanced liquidity. The Fund is one of these offerings.

The Fund's investment objective is to seek to provide long-term capital appreciation. The Fund aims to meet this objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of private market investments on a secondary basis, with a focus on both Limited Partner led ("LP-led") and General Partner led ("GP-led") deals.

Investment Portfolio Summary and Process

Today, Coller Capital is one of the largest private market secondary managers globally, with $54 billion1​ in assets under management. The Firm has been 100% dedicated to secondaries since its inception. This has led to the development of a highly specialist secondaries investment team, supported by a platform dedicated to providing excellent secondaries analytics, reporting, and investor services. Coller's specialist focus results in expertise across the secondaries spectrum and the ability to underwrite complex investments.

Coller has built investment experience across three decades and multiple market cycles. This has established the Firm as a preeminent brand in secondaries and has enabled Coller to develop strong relationships with counterparties through repeat transactions. The experience gained and lessons learned over this period have led to the refinement of Coller's approach to origination, underwriting, and portfolio construction, representing, in our opinion, an advantage in today's market.

Coller believes its investment team is one of the largest dedicated to secondaries in the market, enabling a highly proactive approach to origination. Additionally, it means the Firm can perform due diligence on a broad range of opportunities, keeping multiple investment options open until a final decision has to be made, lowering the opportunity cost of walking away and aiding Coller in sourcing what we view as the most favorable terms possible. Coller's 75 investment professionals are supported by a broader team of 326 employees globally2​, bringing powerful advantages including in-depth coverage of local markets, complementary skill sets and experiences, and well-established relationships with institutional investors and private equity managers.

Coller Secondaries Private Equity Opportunities Fund

The Investment team invested selectively over the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, pursuing opportunities that complemented the Fund's diversified portfolio construction across geography, vintage, and sector. As of March 31, 2026, the C-SPEF portfolio comprised 171 investments across 82 fund managers and 1,477 portfolio companies, reflecting meaningful growth in the breadth and scale of the portfolio since inception. The portfolio is balanced between LP-led (61%) and GP-led deals (37%), with the remaining 2% allocated to co-investments and primaries. The team continued to build a portfolio positioned to deliver compelling long-term return potential for investors.

Performance Overview

The Fund generated net total returns of 17.46%7​ for Class I Shares for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, with Q1 2026 alone contributing 3.97%. Performance was driven by two primary sources: value creation within the existing portfolio and attractive entry discounts on new deals.

Within the existing portfolio, GP-led continued to have strong performance. Evelyn Partners, a leading UK-based wealth manager, was realized at a 2.2x gross return following its announced exit. David Lloyd Leisure delivered strong returns driven by the continued execution of its premiumization strategy, posting 25% Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") growth year-on-year and expanding its European footprint through the acquisition of Aspria, adding ten clubs and approximately 51,000 members. Cloud Software Group, an enterprise infrastructure software company, was a consistent performer across multiple quarters, reaching EBITDA margins exceeding 65% on an annual recurring revenue basis following $900 million in cost savings over two years. Action Nederland, Europe's fastest-growing non-food discount retailer, contributed meaningfully as well, with EBITDA growing to €1,563 million and like-for-like sales growth of 6.3%, supported by the opening of 221 new stores. Action Behavior Centers, a market leader in applied behavior analysis therapy, also drove returns, with revenue and EBITDA growing 52% and 72% year-over-year respectively as the company surpassed 350 centers. CBR Fashion Group delivered consistent performance throughout the year, achieving approximately 7% revenue growth per quarter driven by e-commerce expansion and strong sales momentum.

Attractive entry discounts on new deals also contributed positively to performance, including LP-led deal Ignition, which generated an immediate uplift at close.

Performance of a $1,000,000 investment

This graph compares a hypothetical $1,000,000 investment in the Fund's Class I shares, made April 1, 2025, with similar investments in the MSCI World Index. The Fund's Class I share returns include reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. The 'MSCI World Index' is a free-float adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity performance of developed markets. The MSCI World Index consists of 23 developed market country indexes: See msci.com/world for further details. The MSCI World Index has not been selected to represent an appropriate benchmark to compare an investor's performance, but rather is shown as a comparison to that of a well-known and recognized index. The MSCI World Index is not subject to any of the fees and expenses to which any Coller fund would be subject and no Coller Capital fund will attempt to replicate the performance of the MSCI World Index. Please refer to the disclosures and prospectus for additional information.

Liquidity

We believe C-SPEF has ample liquidity to meet its obligations and is well-positioned to capitalize on investment opportunities in fiscal year 2027. Coller aims to maintain a high investment level to increase return potential, while maintaining a prudent cash balance which is expected to be in the 0-10% of NAV range over the longer term. In addition, the Fund has access to a revolving credit facility which can be used to cover shorter term cash needs.

During fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, the Fund conducted four tender offers, providing for up to 5% of outstanding shares to be repurchased. Tenders are offered on a quarterly basis (subject to board approval), and the proceeds are disbursed shortly after NAV per share is determined on the date of repurchase. We are pleased to share that repurchases remained well below the 5% threshold we have in place. Repurchases are not guaranteed, may be oversubscribed/prorated, are subject to Board approval and applicable law, and there is no assurance shareholders can tender the amount desired.

Outlook

2026 began with cautious optimism, underpinned by expectations of monetary, fiscal, and regulatory easing, before giving way to renewed volatility, as escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East disrupted the macroeconomic backdrop. The sharp spike in oil prices stoked inflation concerns and prompted renewed reassessment of the interest rates outlook. Global equities reflected this uncertainty, with the S&P falling approximately 4% over the quarter, driven primarily by weakness in large-cap technology stocks, while other major equity indices also posted negative returns.

AI disruption fears defined much of the narrative during the first quarter. Software markets showed a marked bifurcation in early 2026, with public and private SaaS assets facing valuation resets, while AI-centric companies attracted unprecedented capital. The resulting market recovery is K-shaped5​: companies with mission-critical workflows, high net revenue retention, and the ability to credibly integrate AI into their core product are pulling ahead, while those with low switching costs and workflows that are easily replaceable by automation face potential structural demand compression. In this environment, the company-level diversification inherent in a secondaries portfolio provides meaningful downside mitigation while providing exposure to the beneficiaries of AI.

Global PE deal activity totaled $436 billion3​ in Q1 2026, despite the uncertainty seen during the period. Exits remained relatively muted, with only approximately $41 billion4​ raised across initial public offering ("IPO") listings during the quarter, highlighting the continued difficulty sponsors face in accessing public markets. Looking ahead, the IPO pipeline for the remainder of the year is dominated by a handful of landmark listings: SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic. While these listings may reopen sentiment around the IPO window more broadly, their sheer scale may absorb a substantial share of available investor capital, leaving less appetite for the broader pipeline of sponsors seeking exits via IPO.

Secondary transaction volumes reached approximately $40 billion6​ in Q1 2026, with GP-led transactions accounting for the majority at around 55%. This reflects growing demand for liquidity solutions initiated by fund managers, particularly as average holding periods have extended to roughly seven years, compared to five to six years in 2020–21. LP-led volumes also remained resilient at approximately $18 billion6​, while secondary market pricing for buyout assets averaged around 92%6​ of NAV during the quarter.

We continue to see a strong flow of high-quality GP-led and LP-led opportunities, with screened volumes in Q1 up approximately 1.7x versus the prior quarter. Average deal sizes have also increased materially, rising more than 60% quarter-on-quarter, pointing to continued scaling in the processes being brought to market. This increase in activity reflects the ongoing institutionalization of the secondaries market, supported by a deeper and more diverse capital base. Sustained LP-led flows and rising sponsor adoption of GP-led processes alongside traditional exit routes to manage liquidity, portfolio concentration, and asset hold periods support our expectation that activity will remain strong through the remainder of the year.

Looking ahead, we view Coller's experience across market cycles, combined with the scale of its platform and disciplined underwriting approach, as key to navigating complexity and uncertainty while capitalizing on an expanding opportunity set.

Summary

The Coller team is pleased with the quality of the C-SPEF portfolio and the Fund's performance to date. The team is excited by the current market opportunities, despite ongoing volatile conditions, and will continue to leverage the strength of the Coller Capital platform and its leadership position in the secondaries market to source attractive opportunities for the Fund.

On behalf of the Coller Capital Private Wealth Secondaries Solutions team, we thank you for your continued support.

Kind Regards, The Coller Capital Private Wealth Secondaries Solutions Team

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers, and investment managers of investment funds; when replies were not received from the investment managers of investment funds, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

a  Private equity investments are generally issued in private placement transactions and as such are generally restricted as to resale. Each investment may have been purchased on various dates and for different amounts. The date of the first purchase is reflected under Acquisition Date as shown in the Consolidated Schedule of Investments. Total fair value of restricted investments as of March 31, 2026 was $1,348,314,511 or 93.97% of Shareholders' Capital.

b  The rate shown is the annualized seven-day yield as of March 31, 2026.

c  Certain underling fund investments may reflect negative fair values due to the allocation of management expenses, fees, and performance allocations prior to the funding of capital contributions. Such negative fair values do not represent a liability or an obligation to fund losses beyond C-SPEF's unfunded capital commitment and is expected to reverse upon future capital contributions.

d  Investment is a recently formed continuation vehicle.

Coller Secondaries Private Equity Opportunities Fund

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2026

1.  Organization

Coller Secondaries Private Equity Opportunities Fund ("C-SPEF" or the "Fund") is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company, which became effective on January 23, 2024 and had no operations prior to April 1, 2024 when C-SPEF issued its common shares of beneficial interest (the "Shares") only to eligible investors that are "accredited investors," as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

Coller Private Market Secondaries Advisors, LLC (the "Adviser"), an investment adviser registered with the SEC under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Advisers Act"), serves as C-SPEF's investment adviser. The Adviser is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of CICAP Limited, a private limited company registered in England and Wales ("CICAP" and, together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries, "Coller Capital").

C-SPEF commenced operations on April 1, 2024, with $323,792,854, comprising of cash contributions of $2,149,972 and contributions in-kind of $321,642,882 from C-SPEF Seed Vehicle L.P. ("Predecessor Fund"), which began operations in 2023. The contributions in-kind consisted of transferred investments, cash of $68,007,727, and other assets and liabilities. C-SPEF Seed Vehicle L.P., which reorganized (the "Reorganization") with and into C-SPEF, maintained an investment objective, strategies and investment policies, guidelines and restrictions that are, in all material respects, equivalent to those of the Fund and at the time of the conversion of the Predecessor Fund was managed by an affiliate of the Adviser.

C-SPEF's investment objective is to seek to provide long-term capital appreciation. The Fund makes investments directly and through its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

In pursuing its investment objective, C-SPEF intends to invest primarily in an actively managed portfolio of Private Equity assets. The Fund's investment exposure to these strategies is implemented via a variety of investment types that include: (i) investments in existing or newly formed private funds managed by unaffiliated asset managers ("Investment Funds"), (ii) investments in equity assets issued by private companies ("Direct Investments"); and (iii) investments alongside Investment Funds in equity assets issued by private companies ("Co-Investments" and, collectively with Investment Funds and Direct Investments, "Private Equity Investments"). C-SPEF's investments will primarily be acquired through privately negotiated transactions from investors in Private Equity Investments and/or in connection with the restructuring of an Investment Fund or Co-Investment ("Secondary Investments"); and may also be made through primary commitments to newly formed Investment Funds or special purpose vehicles structured to invest in Co-Investments ("Primary Investments").

C-SPEF offers Class I, Class S and Class D shares ("Shares"). Each class of Shares has differing characteristics, particularly in terms of the Distribution and Servicing Fee (as defined herein) that each class may be charged. The Fund may offer additional classes of Shares in the future. The Shares will generally be offered on the first business day of each month at the net asset value ("NAV") per Share on that day. No person who is admitted as a shareholder of C-SPEF (a "Shareholder") will have the right to require the Fund to redeem its Shares.

The business operations of C-SPEF are managed and supervised under the direction of its Board of Trustees (the "Board"), subject to the laws of the State of Delaware and C-SPEF's Second Amended and Restated Declaration and Agreement of Trust. The Board has overall responsibility for the management and supervision of the business operations of the Fund.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies

The Fund is an investment company and applies the guidance set forth in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

a.  Basis of Accounting

The Fund's accounting and reporting policies conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP").

b.  Consolidation of Subsidiaries

The consolidated financial statements of the Fund include its wholly owned subsidiaries: C-SPEF Holdings L.P. Incorporated, C-SPEF Investments 1, L.P., C-SPEF Investments 2, L.P., C-SPEF Investments 3-B, L.P., C-SPEF Investments 4, LLC, C-SPEF Investments 5-B, LLC, and CSI PE Aggregator No. 1, L.P. (hereafter collectively referred to as the "Subsidiaries").

The Fund will usually make investments through its Subsidiaries. Such Subsidiaries are not registered under the 1940 Act. The Board has oversight responsibility for the investment activities of the Fund, including its investment in any Subsidiary. To the extent applicable to the investment activities of a Subsidiary, the Subsidiary will follow the same compliance policies and procedures as the Fund. The Fund would 'look through' any such Subsidiary to determine compliance with its investment policies. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Consolidated Schedule of Investments, Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities, Consolidated Statement of Operations, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Net Assets, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and Consolidated Financial Highlights of the Fund include the accounts of the Subsidiaries.

c.  Valuation of Investments

Investments include short-term investments, primary and secondary investments in Private Equity funds, and direct equity in unlisted companies ("Primary Investments" and "Secondary Investments", respectively, and together, with direct equity, "Investment Funds").

The Fund values its investments in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements ("ASC 820"), which defines fair value as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the applicable measurement date. The Fund has a formal valuation policy (the "Valuation Policy"), which have been approved by the Board. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5, the Board designated the Adviser as its "Valuation Designee" to perform fair value determinations.

All investments are recorded at fair value in good faith. Fair value is based on actual or estimated market value, with special provisions for assets not having readily available market quotations, and for situations in which market quotations are deemed unreliable. Investments in Investment Funds normally do not have readily available market prices. The Fund uses Net Asset Value ("NAV") as a practical expedient to determine the fair value of its investments in Investment Funds.

The fair values of the Investment Funds, determined by the Adviser in accordance with the Valuation Policy, are estimates. These estimates are net of the Investment Funds' management and performance incentive fees or allocations payable pursuant to the respective organizational documents of the Investment Funds. Ordinarily, the fair value of an Investment Fund is based on the net asset value of that Investment Fund reported by its


23


Coller Secondaries Private Equity Opportunities Fund

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2026 (continued)

investment manager. If the Adviser determines that the most recent net asset value reported by the investment manager of an Investment Fund does not represent its fair value at the NAV valuation date or if the manager of an Investment Fund fails to report a net asset value to the Fund, a fair value determination is made by the Adviser in accordance with the Valuation Policy. This includes adjusting the previous NAV provided by an investment manager with other relevant information available at the time the Adviser values an Investment Fund, including capital activity and events occurring between the reference dates of the investment manager's valuation and the relevant valuation date, to the extent that the Adviser is aware of such information. Because of the inherent uncertainty of estimates, fair value determinations based on estimates may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed, and the differences could be material.

For investments that do not have readily determinable fair values and for which it is not possible to use NAV as a practical expedient, such as certain Direct Investments or certain Co-Investments, the Valuation Designee will review and value such investments using one or more of the following types of analyses:

•  Market comparable statistics and public trading multiples discounted for illiquidity and/or other factors for investments with similar characteristics.

•  Discounted cash flow analysis, including a terminal value or exit multiple.

•  The entry valuation if the transaction was deemed a fair market transaction.

•  Valuations implied by third-party investment in similar assets or issuers.

d.  Cash and Cash Equivalents

All of the Fund's cash is held in domestic branches of U.S. banks that are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Deposits, at times, may exceed the insurance limit guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance. There were no cash equivalents at March 31, 2026.

e.  Short-Term Investments

Short-term investments represent investments in money market mutual funds, which are recorded at NAV per share and approximate fair value. Money market instruments are high quality, short-term fixed-income obligations, which generally have remaining maturities of one year or less and may include U.S. Government securities, commercial paper, certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances issued by domestic branches of U.S. banks that are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and repurchase agreements.

f.  Foreign Currency Translation

The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. Dollars. Generally, valuations of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar are translated into U.S. Dollar equivalents using valuation date exchange rates, while purchases, realized gains and losses, income and expenses are translated at transaction date exchange rates. The Fund does not separately state the portion of the results of operations due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. They are included with other Investment Fund fair value changes during the year in the net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investments, presented in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.


24

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2026 (continued)

g.  Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Fund enters into foreign currency forward contracts to manage foreign exchange rate risk. These contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date may be entered into as a hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio positions. The objective of the Fund's foreign currency hedging transactions is to reduce the risk that the U.S. Dollar value of the Fund's foreign currency denominated investments will decline due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. All foreign currency forward contracts are 'marked-to-market' daily at the applicable translation rates resulting in unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the foreign currency forward contract is offset by entering a closing transaction or by the delivery or receipt of the currency. The risk that counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of their contracts and the risk of unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. Dollar are inherent in foreign currency forward contracts.

h.  Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

The Fund is subject to requirements to disclose information about offsetting assets and liabilities and similar arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and liabilities that are subject to Master Netting Agreements ("MNA") or similar arrangements in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

1  In some instances, the actual collateral received and/or pledged may be more than the amount shown here due to overcollateralization.

2  Net amount represents the net amount receivable from the counterparty in the event of default.

3  Net amount represents the net amount due from the Fund to the counterparty in the event of default.

i.  Investment Income

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends received from foreign securities for which the ex-dividend date has passed, in which case the dividend is recorded as soon as a Fund is informed that the ex-dividend date has occurred. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.

The Fund records a distribution of cash or in-kind securities from an Investment Fund at its fair value based on the information contained in the notice provided to the Fund when the distribution is received. For distributions received from Investment Funds, C-SPEF determines if the distribution should be recorded as dividend income, interest income, realized gains or return of capital based on information received from the Investment Fund Manager and the Advisor's estimate of future distributions. Capital distributions from Secondary Investments not determined to be dividend income are typically recorded as returns of capital until the full cost basis has been returned, with excess distributions recognized as realized gains.

j.  Fund Expenses

The Fund bears all expenses incurred in its conduct of the business of the Fund on an accrual basis, including, but not limited to, the following: all costs and expenses related to portfolio transactions and positions for the Fund's account; legal fees; accounting, auditing, and tax preparation fees; custodial fees; fees and interest for its revolving credit facility line of credit; fees for data and software providers; costs of insurance; registration expenses; advisory fees; and expenses of meetings of the Board.

k.  Organization and Offering Costs

C-SPEF has incurred certain organizational and offering costs. These costs were partially paid by the Adviser on behalf of the Fund. Such costs incurred by the Adviser are subject to recoupment by the Adviser in accordance with the Expense Limitation Agreement (as defined below). C-SPEF's offering costs, are being


26


Coller Secondaries Private Equity Opportunities Fund

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2026 (continued)

capitalized and amortized over the 12-month period beginning at the commencement of operations. C-SPEF's organizational costs are expensed in the year they are incurred.

l.  Estimates

The Fund's financial statements follow the accounting and reporting guidelines provided for investment companies and are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of Adviser estimates that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

m.  Segment Reporting

The Fund has adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07). Adoption of this standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Fund's financial position or results of operations. The Fund's Principal Executive Officer acts as the Fund's chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), as defined in Topic 280, assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation. The CODM has determined that the Fund has a single operating segment based on the fact that the CODM monitors the operating results of the Fund as a whole and the Fund's long-term strategic asset allocation is guided by the Fund's investment objective and principal investment strategies, and executed by the Fund's investment committee, comprised of investment professionals employed by the Adviser. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is consistent with that presented in the Fund's Consolidated Schedule of Investments, Consolidated Statements of Operations, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and Consolidated Financial Highlights.

3.  Fair Value Measurements

In conformity with U.S. GAAP ASC 820, investments are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Estimated fair values may differ from the values that would have been used if a ready market existed or if the investments were liquidated at the valuation date. This distinction determines the classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes.

The various types of inputs used in determining the value of the Fund's investments are summarized below for each of the three levels:

•  Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The types of investments which would generally be included in Level 1 include listed equities, registered money market funds and other short-term investments.

•  Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. The types of investments which would generally be included in Level 2 include foreign exchange forward contracts, corporate bonds and loans and less liquid and restricted equity securities.

•  Level 3 – Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant Adviser judgment and/or estimation. Those unobservable inputs, that are not corroborated by market data, generally reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants


27


Coller Secondaries Private Equity Opportunities Fund

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2026 (continued)

would use in determining the fair value of the investment. The types of investments which would generally be included in Level 3 are equity and/or debt securities issued by private entities.

ASC 820 also permits a reporting entity to measure the fair value of an asset that does not have a readily determinable fair value based on the reported NAV, or its equivalent, as a practical expedient for its fair value. Accordingly, C-SPEF may utilize the NAV as reported by certain Investment Fund Managers as of a valuation date as a practical expedient for its fair value. If the NAV reported by certain Investment Fund Managers is not as of the same date as the valuation date, the Fund is permitted, under ASC 820, to estimate the fair value of such private assets by adjusting the most recently reported NAV as a practical expedient for fair value.

Due to the inherent uncertainty of estimates, fair value determinations based on estimates, including values derived from NAV as practical expedient, may materially differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed. The inputs or methodology used for valuing C-SPEF's investments are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in such investments. The following table is a summary of information about the levels within the fair value hierarchy at which the Fund's investments are measured as of March 31, 2026.

Changes in inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments, including timing of reported net asset values of underlying investments reported within the Investment Fund reported by their Investment Fund Managers, may result in transfers in or out of levels within the fair value hierarchy.

During the current year, certain investments were transferred into Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, with such transfers recognized as at March 31, 2026, consistent with the C-SPEF's policy of recognizing transfers at the end of the reporting year.

The following is a reconciliation of assets in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value. The Fund records transfers between levels at the end of the reporting year.

1  The Adviser considers relevant indications of value that are reasonably and timely available, including known information available before the financial statements are issued, in determining the fair value to be assigned to a particular security, such as the type, cost and recent purchases or sales of the security; contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security; relevant financial or business developments of the issuer; actively traded related securities; conversion or exchange rights on the security; related corporate actions; significant events occurring after the close of trading in the security; and changes in overall market conditions. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may be materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security.

2  Weighted average by the relative fair value of the securities in that investment type.

Level 3 Investments valued using an unobservable input are directly affected by a change in that input. Significant increases or decreases in these inputs in isolation would result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements. In determining the fair value of investments classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Adviser applies one or more valuation approaches appropriate to the nature of each investment, including


29


Coller Secondaries Private Equity Opportunities Fund

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2026 (continued)

the income approach (discounted cash flow), the market approach using the guideline public company method, the market approach using the guideline transaction method, and the recent transaction or calibration approach and considers whether a discount for lack of marketability is appropriate based on the facts and circumstances of each investment. The Adviser monitors these factors on an ongoing basis, and the conclusion is reassessed at each valuation date.

1  The information summarized in the table above represents general terms. Certain Private Investments may have terms that are more or less restrictive than those terms indicated for the investment category type as a whole. In addition, most Private Investments have the flexibility, as provided for in their offering documents, to modify and waive such terms.

2  Distributions from Private Investments occur at irregular intervals, and the exact timing of distributions from Private Investments cannot be determined.

4.  Federal Taxes Information

It is the Fund's policy to qualify as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The Fund's policy is to comply with the provisions of the Code applicable to RICs and to distribute to its investors substantially all of its distributable net investment income and net realized gain on investments, if any, earned each year. In addition, the Fund intends to make distributions to avoid excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax has been recorded in these financial statements.

C-SPEF intends to make distributions on an annual basis in aggregate amounts representing substantially all of the Fund's investment company taxable income (including realized short-term capital gains), if any, earned during the year. Distributions may also include net capital gains, if any. Because the Fund intends to qualify annually as a RIC under the Code, the Fund intends to distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income to its Shareholders. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that C-SPEF will pay distributions to Shareholders at any particular rate.

The Fund has two onshore Subsidiaries, C-SPEF Investments 4, LLC and C-SPEF Investments 5-B, LLC. C-SPEF Investments 4, LLC is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. C-SPEF Investments 5-B, LLC (the "Onshore Blocker") is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.


30


Coller Secondaries Private Equity Opportunities Fund

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2026 (continued)

The Onshore Blocker is taxed as a C-corporation for federal income tax purposes and as such is obligated to pay federal and state income tax. Under current law, the Onshore Blocker is not eligible to elect treatment as a RIC. In preparing its consolidated financial statements, the Onshore Blocker is required to recognize its estimate of income taxes for U.S. federal and state purposes as a deferred tax asset or liability. The Fund has five offshore subsidiaries: C-SPEF Holdings, L.P. Incorporated is treated as a foreign disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes; C-SPEF Investments 1, L.P., C-SPEF Investments 2, L.P., and CSI PE Aggregator No. 1,L.P. are treated as foreign partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. C-SPEF Investments 3-B, L.P. (the "Offshore Blocker") is treated as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Since both the Onshore Blocker and the Offshore Blocker (collectively the "Blockers") will be subject to taxation on the capital appreciation of their investments, the NAV of the Shares will also be reduced by the accrual of any deferred tax liabilities. As a result, the Fund's after tax performance would be impacted. Both the Blockers will accrue deferred income taxes for any future tax liability associated with capital appreciation of their investments. Upon the sale of an investment, the Blockers may be liable for previously deferred taxes. The Blockers will rely to some extent on information, which is not necessarily timely, to estimate the deferred tax liability for purposes of financial statement reporting and determining the Fund's NAV. From time to time, the Adviser will modify the estimates or assumptions related to the Blockers' deferred tax liability as new information becomes available. The Blockers will generally compute deferred income taxes based on the federal income tax rate applicable to corporations and an assumed rate attributable to state taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the corresponding amounts used for income tax purposes. If onshore Subsidiaries have a deferred tax asset, consideration is given to whether a valuation allowance is required. Foreign partnerships are not subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes, and foreign corporations are only subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes to the extent they earn effectively connected income ("ECI") to the U.S. As of March 31, 2026, C-SPEF Investments 3-B, L.P. has not earned any ECI, and therefore are not subject to U.S. and federal state income taxes.

The Fund has adopted a tax year end of September 30 (the "Tax Year"). As such, the Fund's tax basis capital gains and losses will only be determined at the end of each Tax Year. Accordingly, tax basis distributions made during the 12 months ended March 31, 2026, but after the Tax Year ended September 30, 2025, will be reflected in the financial statement footnotes for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2027.

The Adviser evaluates the tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions will 'more-likely-than-not' be sustained upon examination by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed to meet the 'more-likely-than-not' threshold that would result in a tax benefit or expense to the Fund would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Fund has recognized a net tax liability of $2,243,034 for unrecognized tax expenses. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The character of distributions made during the period from net investment income or net realized gain may differ from the characterization for federal income tax purposes due to differences in the recognition of income, expense and gain or loss items for financial statement and tax purposes. For the tax year ended September 30, 2025, the Fund had a permanent book to tax difference of $818,525, primarily attributable to the Fund's nondeductible offering costs. The permanent book to tax difference has been reclassified to paid-in-capital and has no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Fund.

Coller Secondaries Private Equity Opportunities Fund

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2026 (continued)

Certain qualified losses incurred after October 31, 2025, but within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund's next taxable year. For the Tax Year ended September 30, 2025, the Fund deferred to October 1, 2025, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the following losses:

Late-Year Loss Deferral

 

$

31,081,412

   

The tax character of distributions paid during the Tax Years ended September 30, 2025, and September 30, 2024 was as follows:

2024

 

Ordinary Income

 

$

2,774,319

     

   

Long-term capital gains

 

$

28,142,024

     

   

The Fund made a year-end distribution in December of 2025 of $99,247,974 of which approximately $74,639,223 is believed to be a return of capital and was reported as such on the 2025 1099s.

The tax character of distributions will be evaluated once paid after the Tax Year ended September 30, 2026.

The March 31, 2026 book cost has been adjusted for book/tax basis differences as of the Fund's last Tax Year end, September 30, 2025. The cost of investments and the net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments as of March 31, 2026 are noted below:

Differences between cost amounts for financial statement and for federal income tax purposes, is due primarily to timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on Investment Fund investments.

As of September 30, 2025, the components of accumulated earnings/(loss) on a tax basis were as follows:

b  At September 30, 2025 the Fund had a qualified late-year ordinary loss deferral of $16,955,396 and a post-October capital loss deferral of $13,905,349 which are deemed to arise on October 1, 2025.

c  Amortization of organizational costs

Permanent book and tax differences, primarily attributable to non-deductible expenses, resulted in reclassification for the Tax Year ended September 30, 2025 as follows:

Total Distributable earnings/(deficit)

 

$

These reclassifications had no effect on net assets.

There were 7 investments residing in the Onshore Blocker and 10 residing in the Offshore Blocker at September 30, 2025.

Blockers are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. The Blockers are not consolidated with the RIC for income tax compliance purposes and may generate income tax assets or liabilities that reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes and tax loss carryforwards.

The Onshore Blocker is currently using a Federal tax rate net of state benefit of 21.00% and an estimated state tax rate of 0.00%. The Offshore Blocker did not receive effectively connected income during its tax year ending September 30, 2025, and therefore has no corresponding tax expense liability.

The provision for income tax expense/(benefit) is comprised of the following:

5.  Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates

a. Advisory Fee. In consideration of the advisory services provided by the Adviser, C-SPEF pays the Adviser an advisory fee at a monthly rate equal to 1.65% on an annualized basis of the greater of (i) C-SPEF's net asset value and (ii) C-SPEF's net asset value less cash and cash equivalents plus the total of all commitments made by C-SPEF that have not yet been drawn for investment (the "Advisory Fee"). In no event will the Advisory Fee exceed 2.00% as a percentage of C-SPEF's net asset value. For purposes of calculating the Advisory Fee, a "commitment" is defined as a contractual obligation to acquire an interest in, or provide the total commitment amount over time to, an Investment Fund, when called by the Investment Fund. During any given fiscal year, the basis for the Advisory Fee could be larger than C-SPEF's net asset value due to unfunded commitments to invest in Private Equity Investments.

For purposes of determining the Advisory Fee payable to the Adviser, the Fund's net asset value will be calculated prior to the inclusion of any amounts of the Advisory Fee payable to the Adviser or to any purchases or repurchases of shares of the Fund or any distributions by the Fund. The Advisory Fee will be payable in arrears within 5 business days after the completion of the net asset value computation for each quarter. The Advisory Fee is paid to the Adviser out of C-SPEF's assets, and therefore decreases the net profits or increases the net losses of C-SPEF. The services of all investment professionals and staff of the Adviser, when and to the extent engaged in providing investment advisory and management services, and the compensation and routine overhead expenses of such personnel allocable to such services, are provided and paid for by the Adviser. C-SPEF bears all other costs and expenses of its operations and transactions as set forth in its Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser (the "Investment Advisory Agreement"). The waiver of the advisory fee concluded on March 31, 2025.

b. Expense Limitation Agreement. Pursuant to an expense limitation agreement with the Fund (the "Expense Limitation Agreement"), the Adviser has agreed to assume expenses of the Fund, if required to ensure certain annual operating expenses (excluding the Advisory Fee and any Distribution and Servicing Fee, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, dividend and interest expenses relating to short sales, borrowing costs, merger or reorganization expenses, shareholder meetings expenses, litigation expenses, expenses associated with the acquisition and disposition of investments (including interest and structuring costs for borrowings and its revolving credit facility) and extraordinary expenses, if any); collectively, the "Excluded Expenses") do not exceed 0.50% per annum of the Fund's average monthly net assets of each Share class. With respect to each Share class, the Fund agrees to repay the Adviser any expenses assumed under the Expense


34

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2026 (continued)

Limitation Agreement for such class of Shares, provided that repayments do not cause the Fund's annual operating expenses (excluding Excluded Expenses) for that Share class to exceed the expense limitation in place at the time expenses were reimbursed, or the expense limitation in place at the time the Fund repays the Adviser, whichever is lower. Any such repayments must be made within thirty-six months after the month in which the Adviser reimbursed the expense. The Expense Limitation Agreement initially had a term ending one-year from the date the Fund commenced operations. The Adviser subsequently extended the term of the Expense Limitation Agreement on April 1, 2025 and again on April 1, 2026 for further periods of one year. Upon its expiry on March 31, 2027, the Adviser may again extend this further on an annual basis. The Adviser may not terminate the Expense Limitation Agreement during its current one-year term.

The Adviser has paid a cumulative amount of $4,053,229 for previously reimbursed expenses. During the current year, C?SPEF repaid a net amount of $1,096,246 back to the Adviser. As of the reporting date, the Fund had a remaining payable of $2,191,843 related to expenses previously reimbursed by the Adviser, that have yet to be repaid.

6.  Distribution and Servicing Fee

Class D Shares and Class S Shares are subject to an ongoing distribution and shareholder servicing fee (the "Distribution and Servicing Fee") to compensate financial industry professionals for distribution-related expenses, if applicable, and providing ongoing services in respect of Shareholders who own Class D or Class S Shares of C-SPEF. Although the Fund is not an open-end investment company, it intends to comply with the terms of Rule 12b-1 as a condition of the SEC exemptive relief, which permits C-SPEF to have, among other things, a multi-class structure and Distribution and Servicing Fees. Accordingly, the Fund has adopted a distribution and servicing plan for its Class D Shares and Class S Shares (the "Distribution and Servicing Plan") and pays the Distribution and Servicing Fee with respect to its Class D and Class S Shares. The Distribution and Servicing Plan operates in a manner consistent with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.

Class D Shares and Class S Shares pay a Distribution and Servicing Fee to the Distributor at an annual rate of 0.25% and 0.85%, respectively, based on the net assets of C-SPEF attributable to such class (i.e., a proportionate share of C-SPEF's aggregate net assets). For purposes of determining the Distribution and Servicing Fee, net asset value will be calculated prior to any reduction for any fees and expenses, including, without limitation, the Distribution and Servicing Fee payable.

Class I Shares are not subject to a Distribution and Servicing Fee.

The Adviser may pay additional compensation out of its own resources (i.e., not the Fund's assets) to certain selling agents or financial intermediaries in connection with the sale of the Shares. The additional compensation may differ among brokers or dealers in amount or in the method of calculation. Payments of additional compensation may be fixed dollar amounts or, based on the aggregate value of outstanding Shares held by Shareholders introduced by the broker or dealer, or determined in some other manner. Receiving additional compensation by a selling broker or dealer may create actual or potential conflicts of interest between an investor and its broker or dealer recommending the Fund over other potential investments.

7.  Accounting and Administration Agreement

C-SPEF has retained State Street Bank and Trust Company (the "Administrator") to provide it with certain administrative services, including fund administration, fund accounting, custodian and transfer agency services.


35


Coller Secondaries Private Equity Opportunities Fund

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2026 (continued)

The Fund compensates the Administrator for these services and reimburses the Administrator for certain out-of-pocket expenses (the "Administration Fee"). The Administration Fee is paid to the Administrator out of the assets of C-SPEF and therefore decreases the net profits or increases the net losses of the Fund. For its services the Administrator receives a monthly fee that is based upon the average net assets of the Fund, fees on portfolio transactions, as well as reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. For the year ended March 31, 2026, the Fund incurred $813,672 in fund accounting and administration fees, $277,278 in transfer agent fees and $64,566 in custodian fees, all due to the Administrator.

8.  Revolving Credit Facility

On June 3, 2024, the Fund entered into a senior secured credit agreement (the "Revolving Credit Facility") with the Royal Bank of Canada – WFC Branch and on September 5, 2025 the Revolving Credit Facility was expanded to include the Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corporation (collectively, the "Lenders"). The amount of the Revolving Credit Facility at the beginning of the year was initially $100 million, this being increased to $200 million during the current year and has been extended until February 27, 2027. It is renewable annually.

The Revolving Credit Facility provides the Fund a revolving line of credit to satisfy repurchase requests, to meet capital calls and cover unfunded commitments, and to otherwise provide the Fund with short-term working capital and bridge timing of acquisitions of Investment Funds in advance of the receipt of investor subscriptions. Borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility are collateralized by all assets of the Fund.

The Revolving Credit Facility has an interest rate at the secured overnight financing rate plus a margin of between 1.55% to 1.65% per annum, and a facility fee of between 1.10% and 1.20% per annum. In connection with the Revolving Credit Facility, the Fund initially incurred a deferred arrangement fee of 0.25%, which is recorded as deferred financing costs. This fee was later reset in the prior year down to a quarterly rate of 0.025% payable in arrears, and is included in financing costs in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities, and is being amortized over the term of the Revolving Credit Facility using the straight-line method in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

As of March 31, 2026, the unamortized deferred financing cost was $4,179. For the year ended March 31, 2026, expenses incurred by the Fund related to the Revolving Credit Facility, including amortization of the arrangement fee, were $2,540,043. The Fund did not draw any funds from its Revolving Credit Facility during the current year and did not incur any interest expense. The Fund is subject to certain debt covenants with the Lender and has satisfied all the required minimums throughout the reporting year.

9.  Capital Share Transactions

The Fund offers three separate classes of beneficial common shares designated as Class I ("Class I Shares"), Class S ("Class S Shares") and Class D ("Class D Shares"). On October 15, 2024, the Fund changed the names of two share classes: Class S (initially known as Class D) and Class D (initially known as Class I-2). Each class of Shares has identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights and will be subject to the same terms and conditions, except each class of Shares is subject to different fees and expenses. The Fund may offer additional classes of Shares in the future. The purchase price of each of the Shares at the commencement of operations was $5.00 per Share. Thereafter, the purchase price per each of the Shares was based on the net asset value ("NAV") per Share as of the date such Shares were purchased. Fractions of Shares are


36

March 31, 2026 (continued)

issued to one one-thousandth of a Share. During the current year, the net increase/(decrease) in outstanding shares of Class D, Class I and Class S were 2,303,323, 57,843,928 and 85,804,859, respectively.

The Fund accepts initial and additional purchases of Shares as of the first business day of each calendar month at the Fund's then-current net asset value per Share of each respective share class (determined as of the close of business on the last business day of the immediately preceding month). The minimum initial investment in the Fund by any investor is $1,000,000 with respect to Class I Shares and $50,000 for either the Class S Shares or Class D Shares. The minimum additional investment in the Fund by any investor is $10,000, except for additional purchases pursuant to the dividend reinvestment plan. Investors subscribing through a broker/dealer or registered investment adviser may have shares aggregated to meet these minimums, so long as initial investments in C-SPEF are not less than $1,000,000 with respect to Class I Shares and $50,000 with respect to Class S Shares or Class D Shares, as applicable, and incremental contributions are not less than $10,000. The Fund, in its sole discretion, may waive the investment minimum.

No Shareholder has the right to require the Fund to repurchase his, her or its Shares. To provide a limited degree of liquidity to Shareholders, at the sole discretion of the Adviser and subject to the Board's approval, the Fund may from time to time offer to repurchase Shares pursuant to written tenders by Shareholders. The Adviser expects it will recommend to the Board (subject to its discretion) that the Fund offer to repurchase Shares from Shareholders on a quarterly basis in an amount expected to be approximately 5% of the Fund's net asset value.

A 2.00% early repurchase fee will be charged by the Fund with respect to any repurchase of Shares from a Shareholder at any time prior to the day immediately preceding the one-year anniversary of the Shareholder's purchase of the shares.

10.  Investment Fund Transactions

Total purchases of Investment Funds during the year amounted to $827,382,910. As of March 31, 2026, $87,896,360 of investment purchases have been contractually agreed, but had not yet settled in cash. These purchases are scheduled to settle by December 2026. There were no sales of Investment Funds during the year.

11.  Contingent Liabilities

The Fund indemnifies its officers, managers and Trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund which cannot be predicted with any certainty. However, the Fund expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

12.  Commitments

As of March 31, 2026, the Fund had unfunded capital commitments to the Investment Funds totaling $375,775,952.

13.  Principal Risk Factors

The following are certain principal risk factors that relate to the operations and terms of the Fund. An investment in the Fund involves material risks, including performance risk, liquidity risk, business and financial risk, risks associated with the use of leverage, valuation risk, tax risk and other risks. There is no assurance that the investments held within the Fund will be profitable, that there will be proceeds from the investments available for distribution out to shareholders, nor that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. An investment in the Fund is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Fund performance may be volatile and a Shareholder could incur a total or substantial loss of its investment. There can be no assurance that projected or targeted returns for the Fund will be achieved.

Private Equity Investment Risk. The Fund's Investment Fund portfolio will include Secondary Investments, Co-Investments and Primary Investments. The Investment Funds that the Fund invests in will hold securities issued primarily by private companies. Operating results for private companies in a specified period may be difficult to determine. Such investments involve a high degree of business and financial risk that can result in substantial losses.

The Fund is subject to the risks of its Private Equity investments. The Fund's investments in Investment Funds are themselves, subject to a number of risks. Investment Funds are expected to be illiquid, their marketability may be restricted and the realization of investments from them may take considerable time and/or be costly. Although the Adviser will seek to receive detailed information from each Investment Fund regarding its business strategy and any performance history. In addition, Investment Funds may have little or no near-term cash flow available to distribute to investors, including the Fund.

Investments made by the Fund made in connection with its Investment Funds' underlying acquisition transactions are subject to a variety of special risks, including the risk that the acquiring company has paid too much for the acquired business, the risk of unforeseen liabilities, the risks associated with new or unproven management or new business strategies and the risk that the acquired business will not be successfully integrated with existing businesses or produce the expected synergies.

Investment Funds are ordinarily valued based upon valuations provided by the Investment Fund Manager, which may be received on a delayed basis. Certain securities in which the Investment Funds invest may not have a readily ascertainable market price and are fair valued by the Investment Fund managers. The Adviser reviews and performs due diligence on the valuation procedures used by each Investment Fund manager and monitors the returns provided by the Investment Funds.

The Fund will pay asset-based fees, and in several cases, will be subject to performance-based fees in respect to the performance of its Investment Funds. Such fees and performance-based compensation are in addition to the Fund's Advisory Fee. In addition, performance-based fees charged by underlying Investment Fund managers may create incentives for the Investment Fund Managers to make risky investments, and may be payable by the Fund to an Investment Fund Manager based on an Investment Fund's positive returns, even if the Fund's overall returns are negative. A Shareholder in the Fund will indirectly bear a proportionate share of the fees and expenses of the Investment Funds, in addition to its proportionate share of the expenses of the Fund.

Market Risk. Investments made by the Fund may be materially affected by market, economic and political conditions in the United States and in the non-U.S. jurisdictions in which its investments operate, including factors affecting interest rates, the availability of credit, currency exchange rates and trade barriers. These factors are outside the control of the Adviser and could adversely affect the liquidity and value of the Fund's investments and reduce the ability of the Fund to make new investments.


39


Coller Secondaries Private Equity Opportunities Fund

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2026 (continued)

Volatile conditions in the capital markets may cause limitations on the ability of companies, in the Fund's Investment Funds portfolio, to obtain capital, or subject such companies to higher costs of capital for financing. This lack of available credit could impede upon the ability of such companies to complete investments and higher costs of capital could reduce the returns of the Fund and its Investment Funds.

Currency Risk. Changes in the exchange rate between two currencies will adversely affect the value (in U.S. dollar terms) of an investment or its foreign exchange forward contracts. In the event of an adverse movement, the Fund may be required to pay substantial additional margin to maintain its position, or, its returns may be adversely affected.

Financing Risk. A lender to the Fund may terminate or refuse to renew any revolving credit facility into which it has entered. If the Fund is unable to access additional credit, it may be forced to sell its interests in Investment Funds at inopportune times, which may further depress the Fund's returns.

Leverage Risk. The Fund may utilize leverage, which is speculative and involves heightened risks. Although leverage will increase the Fund's investment return if its interest in an Investment Fund purchased with borrowed funds earns a greater return than the interest expense the Fund incurs to borrow those funds, leverage magnifies the Fund's exposure to declines in the value of one or more underlying reference assets or creates investment risk with respect to a larger pool of assets than the Fund would otherwise have and may be considered a speculative technique. The value of an investment in the Fund will be more volatile, and other risks tend to be compounded if the Fund borrows or uses leverage or its Investment Funds have their own embedded leverage.

Out of Market Risk. The Fund will at times, including for temporary defensive purposes in times of adverse or unstable market, economic or political conditions, or pending the anticipated purchase of an Investment Fund, hold assets in cash, money market instruments and other short-term investments that may be inconsistent with its principal investment strategies and that may impair the Fund's performance.

Management Risk. The Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed investment portfolio. The Adviser will apply investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that these will produce the desired results. The Fund may be subject to a relatively high level of management risk because the Fund invests in Private Equity assets. The Fund's allocation of its investments across Investment Funds, Direct Investments and other portfolio investments representing various strategies, geographic regions, asset classes and sectors may vary significantly over time based on the Adviser's analysis and judgment. It is possible that the Fund be exposed to an investment that performs poorly or underperforms other investments under various market conditions.

Valuation Risk. The Fund is subject to valuation risk, that one or more of the securities in which the Fund invests are valued at prices that the Fund is unable to obtain upon sale due to factors such as incomplete data, market instability, or with respect to securities for which there are no readily available market quotations, the inherent difficulty in determining the fair value of certain types of investments. The Adviser may, but is not required to, use an independent pricing service or prices provided by dealers to value securities at their market value. Because the secondary markets for certain investments may be limited, such instruments may be difficult to value.

A substantial portion of the Fund's assets consist of Investment Funds and Direct Investments for which there are no readily available market quotations. The information available in the marketplace for such companies, their securities and the status of their businesses and financial conditions is often extremely limited, outdated


40


Coller Secondaries Private Equity Opportunities Fund

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2026 (continued)

and difficult to confirm. Accordingly, because there is not a readily available market value for most of the investments in the Fund's portfolio, substantially all of the fair value of the Investment Funds are determined by the Adviser in accordance with the Valuation Policy as stated above in Note 2.

Liquidity Risk. The Fund invests a significant amount of its assets in Investment Funds for which no public market exists. There can be no guarantee that the Fund's investments could ultimately be realized at the Fund's valuation of such investments.

Legal Risk. Legal, tax and regulatory changes could occur that may adversely affect or impact the Fund at any time. The legal, tax and regulatory environment for Private Equity funds is evolving, and changes in the regulation may materially adversely affect the ability of Investment Funds to pursue their investment strategies could have a material adverse impact on the Investment Fund's performance, and thus on that of the Fund.

Non-Diversified Status. The Fund is a 'non-diversified' investment company for purposes of the 1940 Act, which means it is not subject to percentage limitations on assets that may be invested in the assets of any one issuer. Having a larger percentage of assets in a smaller number of issuers makes a non-diversified fund, like the Fund, more susceptible to the risk that one single event or occurrence can have a significant adverse impact upon the Fund.

Macroeconomic Risks. Global events, including, without limitation, pandemics or other severe public health events, armed conflict (including wars, terrorist acts or security operations), natural disasters, rising interest rates, heightened inflation, supply chain disruptions, geopolitical risks, trade conflict, economic sanctions and volatility in the banking and financial sector have disrupted global economies and financial markets, and their prolonged economic impact is uncertain. These adverse developments could negatively affect the Fund's performance or operations. The operational and financial performance of the Fund's investments depends on future developments, including the duration, spread and conclusion of these events and such uncertainty may in turn impact the value of the Fund's investments.

14.  Subsequent Events

Share subscriptions subsequent to the end of the current reporting year were approximately $64 million. On May 5, 2026, the Board approved a share tender offer for June 30, 2026 to repurchase shares of up to 5% of Fund's NAV.

The Adviser has evaluated subsequent events through June 1, 2026, the date the financial statements were issued (or available to be issued) and has determined that there were no other subsequent events that require disclosure in or adjustment to the consolidated financial statements or the accompanying notes.

The Fund’s Board of Trustees

 

The Board consists of five individuals, three of whom are Independent Trustees. The Board is responsible for the oversight of the Fund and its operations, and performs the various duties imposed on the directors of investment companies by the 1940 Act. The Independent Trustees have retained independent legal counsel to assist them in connection with their duties. The Chair of the Board is an Independent Trustee. The Board has established two standing committees: the Audit Committee and the Governance Committee. Each committee is chaired by, and composed of, Independent Trustees.

 

Approval of the Fund's Investment Advisory Agreement

 

At a meeting held on February 24, 2026 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Fund, including a majority of the Board members (the “Independent Trustees”) who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”)) of the Fund or Coller Private Market Secondaries Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), voted to approve a new investment advisory agreement between the Fund and the Adviser (the “New Agreement”), which is intended to go into effect upon the completion of the Transaction (as defined below; the “Closing”). The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, also approved an interim investment advisory agreement between the Fund and the Adviser (the “Interim Agreement”), which is intended to go into effect upon the Closing only if the shareholders of the Fund have not approved the New Agreement as of that time. If the Interim Agreement goes into effect, it will permit the Adviser to continue serving as the investment adviser to the Fund for a period not to exceed 150 days following the Closing pursuant to Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act. The Board’s evaluative process is more fully described below.

 

 

 

 

Prior to and during meetings leading up to the Meeting, the Board reviewed and discussed information furnished by the Adviser and EQT, as requested by the Independent Trustees, that the Board considered reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the New Agreement and the Interim Agreement. Such information included, among other things, the terms and anticipated impacts of EQT’s pending acquisition of Coller Capital (the “Transaction”) on the Fund and its shareholders. In addition to considering information furnished specifically to evaluate the impact of the Transaction on the Fund and its shareholders, the Board also considered information furnished for prior meetings of the Board, including, but not limited to, information provided in connection with the annual contract review process for the Fund, which most recently culminated in December 2025 (the “2025 Annual Approval Process”).

 

The Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the New Agreement and Interim Agreement, including the fees payable thereunder, were fair and reasonable, and it voted to approve the New Agreement and Interim Agreement and to recommend that shareholders approve the New Agreement as well.

 

Shortly after the announcement of the Transaction, the Independent Trustees met on January 26, 2026 and also met with Mr. Elmhirst and other representatives of the Adviser on January 30, 2026 to discuss certain aspects of the Transaction and the expected impacts of the Transaction on the Fund and its shareholders. As part of the Board’s evaluation process, counsel to the Independent Trustees, on behalf of the Independent Trustees, requested additional information to assist the Independent Trustees in their evaluation of the New Agreement and Interim Agreement and the implications of the Transaction. The Independent Trustees met again on February 23, 2026, to discuss the information they had received regarding the Transaction, the New Agreement and Interim Agreement and to further assess the expected ramifications of the Transaction for the Fund and its shareholders.

 

The Independent Trustees again met with senior representatives of the Adviser and EQT at the Meeting to further discuss the approval of the New Agreement and Interim Agreement. The representatives from the Adviser and EQT each made presentations to, and responded to questions from, the Independent Trustees. The Independent Trustees considered the Adviser’s and EQT’s responses related to the Transaction and specifically to the Fund, as well as information received in connection with the 2025 Annual Approval Process, with respect to its evaluation of the New Agreement and Interim Agreement. Among other information, the Board considered:

As indicated above, the Board also considered information received at its regularly scheduled meetings throughout the year, which included information from portfolio managers and other investment professionals of the Adviser regarding investment and performance matters. The Board also received information regarding fair valuation methodologies and risk management techniques employed in connection with the management of the Fund. The Board and its committees evaluated issues pertaining to industry and regulatory developments, compliance procedures, fund governance and other issues with respect to the Fund, and received reports and participated in presentations provided by the Adviser with respect to such matters.

 

The Independent Trustees were advised throughout the evaluation process by Goodwin Procter LLP, independent legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The Independent Trustees, with the advice of such counsel, exercised their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the New Agreement and Interim Agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to the New Agreement and Interim Agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each Independent Trustee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to the New Agreement and Interim Agreement.

 

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

 

In considering whether to approve the New Agreement and Interim Agreement, the Board considered the responsibilities of the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement, and the services provided by the Adviser to the Fund, including, without limitation, the management, oversight, operational, and governance services that the Adviser and its employees provide to the Fund, the Adviser’s coordination of services for the Fund by its service providers, its compliance procedures and practices, and its efforts to promote the Fund. The Board also considered the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management personnel. The Board noted that certain of the Fund’s officers are employees of the Adviser or its affiliates and serve the Fund without additional compensation from the Fund. The Board further considered information regarding the Adviser’s program designed to ensure compliance with federal securities and other applicable laws and the Adviser’s risk management processes.

 

 

 

 

In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by the Adviser under the New Agreement and the Interim Agreement, the Board considered, among other information, the expected impact, if any, of the Transaction on the operations, facilities, organization and personnel of the Adviser, and that EQT and Coller Capital have advised the Board that, following the Closing, there is not expected to be any diminution in the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the Fund and its shareholders, including compliance and other non-advisory services, and that there are not expected to be any changes in portfolio management personnel as a result of the Transaction.

 

The Board also considered the financial resources of EQT and Coller Capital and the importance of having a Fund manager with, or with access to, significant organizational and financial resources. The Board considered the benefits to the Fund of being part of a larger combined organization with greater financial resources following the Closing, as well as information on how the Fund is expected to fit within EQT’s overall business strategy and any changes that EQT contemplates in the short- or long-term following the Closing. The Board considered the commitments made by EQT to retaining senior management and personnel of the Adviser under the terms of the Transaction. The Board also noted EQT’s and the Adviser’s commitment to keep the Board apprised of developments with respect to its long-term plans for the relationship between EQT and Coller Capital following the Transaction.

 

In evaluating the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided under the New Agreement, the Board also considered investment performance information provided for the Fund in connection with the 2025 Annual Approval Process, as well as information provided as of a more recent date. In this regard, the Board compared the Fund’s investment performance to that of comparable funds identified by an independent data provider (the peer group). In addition to the foregoing information, it was also noted that the Board has received and discussed with management information throughout the year at periodic intervals comparing the Fund’s performance against applicable peer groups.

 

After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, and based on their review of the materials provided and the assurances received from, and recommendations of, the Adviser and EQT, the Board determined that the Transaction was not expected to adversely affect the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser, and that the Transaction was not expected to have an adverse effect on the ability of the Adviser to provide those services. After reviewing the foregoing information and discussing the Adviser’s proposed services to the Fund, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser are satisfactory and appropriate for the Fund and expected to be consistent with the terms of the New Agreement and Interim Agreement.

 

Management Fees and Expenses

 

The Board considered contractual fee rates payable by the Fund for advisory services (referred to as “management fees”) in connection with the 2025 Annual Approval Process, as well as information provided as of a more recent date. As part of its review, the Board considered the Fund’s management fees and total expense ratio over various periods, as compared to those of comparable funds, before and after giving effect to any undertaking to waive fees or reimburse expenses. The Board also considered factors, and, where applicable, certain Fund-specific factors, that had an impact on the Fund’s total expense ratio relative to comparable funds, as identified by the Adviser in response to inquiries from the Independent Trustees. The Board considered that the New Agreement and Interim Agreement do not change the Fund’s management fee rate or the computation method for calculating such fees. The Board noted that the management fee and gross and net expenses for the Fund were above those of the median and average of its peer group, but further noted that the peer group selected for the Fund by the independent data provider consisted of a large number of funds, many of which did not focus on secondaries. The Board recognized that an investment strategy focusing on secondaries incurs higher expenses than one which focuses on primary interests and noted that the Fund’s management fees and overall expenses were very competitive with those funds in the peer group which also focused on secondaries. The Board further noted that the New Agreement and Interim Agreement proposed certain revisions to the applicable provisions governing expenses borne by the Fund to align those provisions with those used in the investment advisory agreements for other private investment funds managed by Coller Capital, but also noted that based on information provided by the Adviser, the revisions were not expected to have any practical impact on the Fund’s actual expense ratio.

 

 

 

 

After considering the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services expected to be provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the fees paid to the Adviser by the Fund are appropriate and representative of arm’s-length negotiations.

 

Profitability and “Fall-Out” Benefits

 

The Board considered information about the Adviser’s estimated profitability with respect to the Fund, as well as the costs of services provided by the Adviser to the Fund, provided both in connection with the 2025 Annual Approval Process and as of a more recent date. The Board considered the level of profits realized without regard to marketing support or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution or other services. In light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates, were not deemed to be excessive by the Board.

 

The Board considered information from the Adviser and EQT that there are currently no specific expected changes in the levels of profitability associated with the advisory and other services provided to the Fund that are contemplated as a result of the Transaction. The Board noted that it will continue to receive information regarding profitability during its annual contract review processes, including the extent to which cost savings and/or other efficiencies result in changes to profitability levels.

 

The Board also considered direct or indirect fall-out benefits received by the Adviser and EQT, in connection with their respective relationships with the Fund, including the promotion of the Adviser’s name and enhancement of its reputation in the industry and the possibility that such benefits could also accrue to EQT. The Board also noted that the Adviser and EQT could benefit from possible growth of the Fund resulting from enhanced distribution capabilities, including with respect to the Fund’s potential access to intermediaries with whom EQT has strong preexisting relationships. The Board concluded that any potential benefits derived by the Adviser and EQT were consistent with the types of benefits generally derived by investment advisers to other funds.

 

Economies of Scale

 

Because the Fund is relatively new and has a limited operating history, the Board noted that there was very limited information regarding economies of scale with respect to the Fund to be reviewed. The Board also considered that it is difficult to estimate whether the Fund would experience economies of scale. The Board determined to evaluate economies of scale on an ongoing basis as a result of asset growth of the Fund. The Board also acknowledged that the concept of economies of scale is a complex subject as to determining with a fair degree of certainty whether economies of scale exist, to what extent they exist, whether scale can result in additional expenses, and alternative ways advisers can share benefits of economies of scale.

 

Conclusion

 

Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described above, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, unanimously voted to approve the New Agreement and Interim Agreement for the Fund and recommended that shareholders approve the New Agreement.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

 

A potential conflict of interest may arise because of a portfolio manager’s provision of advisory services to other accounts. Other accounts may pay higher management fees and/or performance fees than the Fund, and this could create an incentive for a portfolio manager to favor such funds in the allocation of investment opportunities.

 

The Adviser has implemented procedures that are designed to ensure that investment opportunities are allocated in a manner that: (i) treats all of its clients fairly and equitably; (ii) prevents conflicts regarding allocation of investment opportunities among its clients; and (iii) complies with applicable regulatory requirements. For example, the Adviser uses an allocation methodology designed to allocate all investments based on a defined allocation procedure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an aggregated investment may be allocated on a different basis under certain circumstances depending on factors which include, but are not limited to, available cash, liquidity requirements, risk parameters and legal and/or regulatory requirements.

 

The Adviser and its investment personnel, including a portfolio manager, may hold investments in other accounts. This may create an incentive for the Adviser and its investment personnel to take investment actions based on those investment interests which might diverge, in some cases, from the interests of other clients or favor or disfavor certain funds over other funds. Any potential conflict that arises from these circumstances is mitigated by several factors, including: (i) the fact that the Adviser’s investment process is designed to achieve long-term capital appreciation as opposed to short-term profits and (ii) the fact that the allocation process is controlled by finance and compliance personnel for the Adviser.

 

(a)(3)The following description regarding portfolio manager compensation is provided as of March 31, 2026:

 

The Adviser’s philosophy on compensation is to provide senior professionals incentives that are tied to both short-term and long-term performance of Coller Capital. All investment professionals are salaried. Further, all investment professionals are eligible for a short-term incentive bonus each year that is discretionary and based upon the professional’s performance, as well as the performance of the business. For their services to the Fund, the portfolio managers receive a salary, a discretionary bonus, and certain retirement benefits from the Adviser or its affiliates. Additionally, each of the portfolio managers have equity interests in the Adviser and its subsidiaries and indirectly benefit from the success of the Fund based on their ownership interest.

 

 

 

 

(a)(4)The following table indicates the dollar range of securities beneficially owned by each primary portfolio manager, as of March 31, 2026. Aggregate Dollar Range, if applicable, includes each primary portfolio manager’s deferred compensation balance attributable to the Fund through participation in the Adviser's deferred compensation plan. If applicable, this reflects an obligation of the Adviser to pay deferred compensation to the primary portfolio manager at a future date in an amount based on the performance of the Fund and accordingly, is the economic equivalent of an investment in Fund shares.

 

Portfolio Manager  Aggregate Dollar Range of Securities in the Fund
Steven Stolk  $100,001 - $500,000
Richard Jason Alexander Elmhirst  Over $1,000,000
Yonatan Puterman  None
