About Apax Global Alpha Limited
AGA is a company limited by shares which has been incorporated in Guernsey and is supervised by the Guernsey Financial Services Commission as a registered closed-ended investment scheme, the ordinary shares of which were listed on the Premium segment of the Main Market, the market of that name operated by the London Stock Exchange, on 15th June 2015.
AGA's objective is to provide shareholders with capital appreciation from its investment portfolio and regular dividends. The Company is targeting an annualised Total Shareholder Return (TSR), across economic cycles, of 12-15% (net of fees and expenses) including a dividend yield of 5% of Net Asset Value (NAV), once fully invested.
The investment policy of the Company is to make private equity investments in Apax Funds and Derived Investments which are investments in equities and debt derived from the insights gained via Apax Partners' Private Equity activities. The Company's portfolio is expected to be allocated in approximately equal proportions between Private Equity and Derived Investments, although the investment mix will fluctuate over time due to market conditions, investments opportunities, cash flow requirements, the dividend policy and other factors.
