APAX PARTNERS LLP FINANCING GROWTH AND SPECIALISING BY SECTOR

Private equity pioneer Apax Partners was founded in 1972 by Maurice Tchenio in France and Ronald Cohen in the UK; they subsequently partnered with Alan Patricof in United States in 1976. The group was composed of independent companies in each country, sharing the same strategy, corporate culture and methods, but owned by local partners managing domestic funds. It continued to grow using this model in the main European countries. In the early 2000s, the various national entities, with the exception of France, regrouped into a single management company, Apax Partners LLP, so as to raise large international funds and reorient their investment strategy towards transactions in excess of €1bn (large caps). The French entity opted to conserve itsmid-market positioning and remain independent.
