We are strong believers in the concept of socially responsible and sustainable investing and recognise that as major global investors we can be a powerful force for good in these areas.

Apax Foundation

Apax Foundation

The Apax Foundation and Apax US Foundation are the channels for Apax Partners' corporate giving globally.  The charities are funded by the firm, receiving a percentage of its profits and carried interest, as well as donations from individual partners.

Social entrepreneurship

We chose social entrepreneurship as the focus for our major grant giving as it is the logical extension of what we do commercially and builds on our history of support in that area, most notably as one of the founders of Bridges Ventures.  It is also an area where some of our Trustees have significant experience.

Social investments

We are steadily building an endowment for our Foundation to provide it with a permanent source of funding into the future.  The Trustees decided that a proportion of our assets should be devoted to social investments - in other words, investments that generate a positive social impact as well as a financial return.
