What sets Apax apart

A sector-based approach takes precedence over geographic allocation

  • Apax focuses on sub-segments that it considers particularly attractive, in order to source the best acquisition opportunities.
  • With its long experience of investing in specific niches, it knows what kind of assets attract the interest of strategic buyers.
  • Teams repeat transactions in sub-segments where the company has had great success, as they know the key success factors and operational recipes.

A sector-based, bi-cultural organisation: Europe/US

  • Each sector team is led by a European/US duo who have worked together for a long time, just as the firm is co-managed by a duo.
  • The funds have no target geographic allocation, and focus on the best opportunities regardless of their location.

The firm's partners have an average of 15 years' experience in Private Equity, the majority of which has been acquired at Apax.

A highly innovative center of operational excellence

  • Apax uses the expertise of 40 professionals most of whom are employees of the firm, to accelerate the operational performance of its portfolio companies and position them as market leaders.
  • Apax is a recognised expert in digital transformation, which is critical for each of its holdings.

The differentiating factors presented reflect the opinions of the Altaroc investment team. Past performance is not a reliable guide to future results.
