Living our values

"At West Point, one of our guiding values was to “choose the harder right over the easier wrong”. It was repeated constantly and I’ve found its power to be profound and enduring.  At Apax we seek to make great returns for investors. But we also want to achieve it in a way that makes our children proud. Over my 20 years at the Firm, I’ve been gratified to see Apax repeatedly make tough decisions that reflect our value of “choosing right over easy”."
