Apax Global Alpha Limited
Funds advised by Apax acquire GAN Integrity
On 26 October 2023, the Apax Global Impact Fund ("AGI"), in
which AGA is a limited partner, announced that it had acquired GAN
Integrity, a leading provider of technology that enables proactive,
integrated, real-time management and monitoring of third-party and
employee risk, ethics and compliance.
Founded in Denmark in 2004, GAN Integrity provides cloud-based
software solutions covering internal and external risk areas
including third-party due diligence, disclosures, incident, and
risk management. At its core, the company's 'Integrity Platform', a
no code, workflow orchestration platform, enables ethics and
compliance teams to effectively assess and manage risk while
affecting change by driving proactive ethical and compliant
behaviour across the enterprise.
The investment will enable GAN Integrity to accelerate product
development and better serve the growing demands of global brands
for risk, ethics and compliance management software technology.
On a look-through basis, AGA has invested approximately EUR2.6m
in GAN Integrity(1) . Note that AGA's investment in GAN Integrity
is calculated based on the look-through position of AGI's overall
investment in the company and is translated based on the latest
exchange rates available where applicable(2) .
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.
