  • Apax Partners Worldwide Holdings Ltd (FRN 570084) is an AR of Apax Partners LLP (FRN 222963). When you use Apax Partners Worldwide Holdings's services, the FCA authorisation sits with the principal firm.
  • Example: if you take financial advice from Apax Partners Worldwide Holdings, complaints and compensation usually follow the same rules as dealing with the principal, but this depends on the product and your circumstances.
