Coller Institute of Private Equity at London Business School

The Coller Institute of Private Equity is a research centre within London Business School. As such its focus on research is fundamental to its vision and mission. Our interests are broad, covering venture capital to private equity; examining this field from a variety of stakeholder perspectives. Our research comprises academic papers, case studies and applied analysis. The bridge between the academic and practitioner worlds, the Institute has no pre-determined agenda or position. We are dedicated to the rigorous analysis and synthesis of data to establish and promote new insights and so facilitate a better understanding of the industry. The institute provides a forum for debate and makes academic work in the PE and VC subject matter more accessible to practitioners via its bi-annual Findings journal. We are interdisciplinary in our approach to research to encompass strategy, economics, organisation and management as well as finance. Integral to our vision, is the provision of world class education both to our students and executives via the private equity elective and Coller Institute MasterClass.
