The office will be managed by Colin Miller, who has joined Adams Street as a Principal, Investor Relations. Colin’s primary focus is on deepening relationships with institutional and intermediary investors, expanding the firm’s investor base, and providing dedicated client services to new investors. Adams Street has had a Canadian presence dating back over 20 years, with investments from Canadian institutional investors including public pensions, corporate pensions, endowments, foundations, family offices and wealth platforms, who have accessed Adams Street strategies to participate in a comprehensive mix of private equity and credit mandates.

"Private markets have the potential to offer significant advantages for investors," said Kevin O’Donnell, Partner & Global Head of Investor Relations at Adams Street. "We are eager to expand our platform and deepen our relationships through our dedicated presence in Toronto. Adams Street aims to facilitate access to investments that capitalize on change, dislocation, and growth. Colin's deep experience in the Canadian market will greatly benefit both Adams Street and our partners."

“Investors continue seeking private market investment solutions that meet their unique investment objectives,” said Miller. “Adams Street’s experience, expertise, and investment platform make this an exciting opportunity to help investors access a broad range of private market investment solutions. We are excited that the Canadian subsidiary is now established as an exempt market dealer. Our new office and registration are designed to enable us to bring our private market capabilities to a wider range of clients. This further demonstrates Adams Street’s long-term commitment to the Canadian investment community, and I am very excited for the journey ahead.”

Miller joins Adams Street from a large independent Canadian asset management firm, where he led the sales effort across the public and private market platforms. Prior to that role, he worked at a leading insurance-owned asset manager, first as Head of Client Relationships before moving to a full capital raising seat as Managing Director of Business Development. He graduated from Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. Johns with a Bachelor of Commerce (Co-op) and holds a CFA designation.
