Key Points

Positve
  • Apax Global Alpha Ltd (LSE:APAX) returned EUR69 million to investors via dividends and buybacks, equating to a dividend yield of 7.8%.
  • The Apax XI Fund, to which AGA has a $700 million commitment, has shown strong performance with a 1.3 times gross money multiple after only an eight-month holding period.
  • The company has actively reduced its exposure to listed Private Equity positions, decreasing from 25% to 2% of NAV.
  • Apax Global Alpha Ltd (LSE:APAX) has a robust balance sheet with calls in the next 12 months covered 2.4 times.
  • The core sectors of Tech, Services, and Internet/Consumer contributed positively to NAV growth, with promising returns expected from recent investments.
Negative
  • Total NAV return per share for the year was only 0.8%, which is considered disappointing.
  • Challenges in retail and healthcare investments, particularly the write-down of Vyaire, negatively impacted performance.
  • The company experienced a slowdown in Consumer-exposed businesses and those exposed to cyclical headwinds.
  • The performance since IPO has been below the long-term target, with underexposure to Private Equity assets initially.
  • The decision to value AssuredPartners at a potential IPO's value led to a sale at a 10% discount to the last unaffected valuation.
