Our Approach
Governance and Compliance
Apax Partners LLP (‘Apax Partners’) is the holding company for the worldwide Apax partnership and is the lead investment adviser to the most recent Apax Funds. It is regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) and advises Apax Partners Europe Managers Limited (APEM) which is also regulated by the FSA. APEM is owned by the firm’s senior partners and manages the assets of the most recent Apax Funds.
Apax Partners is committed to maintaining the highest business standards consistently across all of its offices. In the UK, and certain other jurisdictions, some firms within the Apax Partners structure are subject to local financial services regulation, whilst in other countries there is no similar legal obligation, although market regulation will of course apply. However, the business principles set by Apax Partners ensure that the Apax Partners team, wherever they are based, work to the same high standards of business conduct.
