Apax Partners aims to combine moneysupermarket with US price comparision site

Private Equity firm Apax Partners is interested in buying moneysupermarket.

Apax held talks last year with moneysupermarket shareholders before negotiations fizzled out.

However, Apax is interested in buying out founder Simon Nixon who owns a 52.5% stake in the company, which has a market capitalisation of £426m.

Apax wants to combine the aggregator with its US business, Bankrate.

Apax is not the only party interested in moneysupermarket, repors The Telegraph, with a range of private equity groups running the slide rule over it.
