Apax Partners' funds invest in five specialist sectors...

The Financial & Business Services ('FABS') sector represents a substantial portion of the global economy, with approximately 25% of the market capitalisation of the MSCI Global Index in the sector.

The Healthcare team at Apax Partners comprises dedicated investment professionals based in London, New York, Munich and Mumbai. The team is characterised by its very strong scientific background, with many of the members having achieved academic success in their specialist field before moving into industry, consulting or private equity directly.

The Media team is one of the largest and longest established in the industry and in the last ten years has advised Apax Funds on the investment of €3.4bn of equity.

Apax Funds have been one of the leading global investors in the Retail and Consumer sector over several decades, during which time they have invested €2.4bn of equity in retail businesses.

Apax Funds are pioneers in Technology and Telecommunications investing. The Funds have backed companies on both sides of the Atlantic from the very first days of the venture capital industry. Apax was one of the first private equity firms to apply the skills forged in these venture capital deals to the buyout arena.
