Apax Global Alpha Limited
Funds advised by Apax invest in Swing Education
Apax Global Alpha, the closed-ended investment company providing
access to the Apax Private Equity Funds, today announced that it
expects to invest approximately EUR1.7m in Swing Education on a
look-through basis (1) .
On 1 June 2023, the Apax Global Impact Fund ("AGI"), in which
AGA is a limited partner, announced an investment in Swing
Education, a pioneering online marketplace that connects schools
and substitute teachers, as part of a $38m Series C funding
round.
AGA's investment is calculated based on the look through
position of AGI's overall investment in Swing Education and is
translated based on the exchange rate at close2.
Swing Education is an online marketplace that connects
substitute teachers with schools. Founded in 2015 by former K-12
educators and administrators, Swing makes it easier for schools to
find reliable, qualified substitute teachers when they need them
most. With over 300,000 absence days filled to date, Swing is
dedicated to improving the experience of schools finding substitute
teachers, of candidates entering the substitute teaching field, and
of students continuing to learn disruption-free.
AGA, whose shares are listed on the London Stock Exchange,
provides investors with access to a diversified portfolio of
private equity funds advised by Apax as well as a focused portfolio
of predominantly debt investments ('Derived Investments'). In March
2022, AGA made a commitment of $60m to AGI.
