NextGen Security is joining the Apax funds’ portfolio 🎉

The Apax Funds have completed their investment in the business, partnering with Frank Brewer and the NextGen team for the next phase of growth.

NextGen's built a strong position through deep technical expertise, trusted customer relationships, and a service-led approach. As the security landscape becomes more complex, we see significant opportunity to build on that foundation.

We’re looking forward to working with Frank and the team.

As access to private equity continues to broaden, the questions around fit, structure, and long-term value for wealth clients are becoming more pressing, and the answers increasingly consequential.

We hope to see you there.

Last week we announced the Apax Digital funds' investment in Alice (Formerly ActiveFence).

Alice is the AI trust, safety, and security company trusted by Anthropic, Google, and Cohere.

For nearly a decade, the company has tracked fraud, extremism, and coordinated manipulation across the open web, building Rabbit Hole, one of the world's largest proprietary datasets of real-world adversarial behaviour. That intelligence now secures 8 of the world's 10 leading AI model labs and protects more than 3 billion users online.

As Eric Levine, Vice President at Apax Digital, put it: "The world's most sophisticated technology companies choose Alice because its defenses learn: attacks observed in the wild seed the tests, the tests tune the guardrails, and model behavior in production feeds back into both. The loop gets stronger with every observed attack and every new customer."

It's one to watch!

The Apax Digital Funds have agreed a strategic investment in Wematch.live, the regulated platform digitising securities finance workflows.

Securities finance sits at the centre of global capital markets, but its most complex trades still run on phone calls, chat and spreadsheets. A single total return swap can reference hundreds of securities, each needing substitutions, resets and corporate action handling across the life of the trade.

Wematch replaces that with regulated, auditable infrastructure covering the full trade lifecycle. Close to $2 trillion of ongoing notional is managed on the platform, and it handled some $7 trillion of basket substitutions over the past twelve months.

We look forward to working with Joseph Seroussi and the Wematch team.

Summer is supposed to be quiet. Ours wasn't.

Andrew Sillitoe and Mitch Truwit joined Michael Sidgmore on the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast to discuss where Apax sees opportunity, how our investment strategy has evolved, and the role of thematic investing in today's market.

On the deals front: the Apax funds invested in techoraco and Institutional Investor. They also agreed to acquire two pharmaceutical packaging businesses from Gerresheimer, marking the funds' 43rd carveout since 2010.

The buyout funds also signed the exits of Oncourse Home Solutions and Tosca.

Meanwhile, the Apax Digital funds announced new investments in Inspectorio and Alice (Formerly ActiveFence).

Away from the deals, Nedu Ottih joined J.P. Morgan Private Bank's Alternatives Access event in New York, and Patrick Raab spoke with Markets Group on private credit and joined a panel at Private Equity Chicago.

Plenty more to come this autumn.

An important milestone for Oncourse Home Solutions 📢

The Apax funds have agreed to sell Oncourse, a leading national provider of home infrastructure warranties, to Genstar Capital.

In 2021 the Apax funds carved Oncourse out of American Water Works, building it into a standalone business. Since then, we've worked alongside Aaron Cooper and the team to strengthen the leadership bench, modernise the technology and claims systems, and put in place an investment-grade financing platform - giving Oncourse a durable foundation to grow independently from here.

Throughout, what's stood out most is the trust the Company has built with its affinity partners and the more than two million homeowners it protects: adding new distribution partnerships, scaling a fast-growing direct-to-consumer channel, and building a disciplined acquisition capability, all while maintaining high service standards.

We're grateful to Aaron and the entire Oncourse team for an outstanding partnership, and we're confident Genstar is the right partner to lead the Company through its next phase of growth.
