RNS Number : 4278I Apax Global Alpha Limited 07 August 2023
(LSE: APAX)
Apax Global Alpha Limited
Estimated Adjusted NAV as at 30 June 2023
Apax Global Alpha Limited (LON: APAX), the closed-ended investment company
providing access to the Apax Private Equity Funds, today announced estimated
Adjusted NAV as at 30 June 2023, having received the Apax Funds' valuations
for Q2 2023. The performance of the individual funds is shown below (net of
relevant fees and carried interest estimates)(1).
AGA estimates its Adjusted NAV(2) as at 30 June 2023 to be €1,298m or
€2.64 cents per share / £2.27 pence per share.
Details on the composition and valuation of the AGA portfolio as at 30 June
2023 (which may differ to those shown in the table below due to the various
holding structures through which AGA invests) will be included in AGA's 2023
Half Year Results, being released on 6 September 2023.
Commenting on the performance, Ralf Gruss, Partner at Apax and a member of the
AGA Investment Committee, said: "The Private Equity portfolio continues to
show resilience in the face of an uncertain economic environment. The Apax
Funds' focus on narrow sectors and generating alpha through business
improvement means that value creation is primarily driven by operational
improvements in the portfolio companies."
