Audax Private Equity and Audax Strategic Capital (ASC) are honored to be recognized as part of BluWave’s 2025 Top Private Equity Innovator Awards. We view this as an acknowledgment of ASC’s efforts in providing creative solutions for sponsors looking to catalyze mid-hold equity value creation across their performing portfolio companies, as well as a testament to our Buy & Build approach that has guided Audax Private Equity’s focus for 25 years. Thank you to the team at BluWave, LP and to our longstanding, collaborative relationships across private equity’s middle market.   To learn more, see here: https://lnkd.in/eaErZUFZ DISCLAIMER AND METHODOLOGIES:   BluWave, LP has not received investment capital from and holds no ownership interest in the PE firms evaluated or recognized under the Top Private Equity Innovator awards program. BluWave received no compensation from any of the PE firms in connection with this awards program. However, BluWave may otherwise provide services to the PE firms and/or their portfolio companies, but BluWave confirms that its assessment of the PE firms was independent of any such service arrangements. Top 2% in the PE industry is based on BluWave’s review of the more than 6,000 PE firms in the U.S. and Canada from which the 103 PE firms were selected as award recipients.   The aforementioned award programs should not be considered an endorsement of Audax or its funds by the authors or distributors of the rankings or honors; the recognition is not necessarily representative of any one client’s experience with Audax; and is not necessarily indicative of Audax’ future performance. These awards are not intended to be a recommendation or investment advice, and do not take into account the specific objectives or circumstances of any particular investor or suggest any specific course of action.

2024 marked another momentous year for the Audax Private Equity platform. A year removed from raising our largest ever pool of capital, we saw considerable traction in executing our Buy & Build strategy. In total, we deployed $1.07B across our Flagship, Origins & ASC strategies – across 7 new platforms and non-control investments and 89 add-on acquisitions. And, across the PE platform, we generated $1.34B in total realizations through seven full and partial liquidity events.* Now in our 25th year, none of this would have been possible without the support of our investors, management teams, financing partners, and deal sources. *Total investments and realizations include Fund and GP and LP co-investment activity.  

We're truly honored to have been recognized in the HEC Paris-Dow Jones ‘top decile’ ranking for the second straight year. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gymPPTu4
