Conflicts of interest Every Partner and employee must be aware of the potential for conflicts of interest to arise and has responsibility to identify and manage such conflicts. We have in place internal policies and guidelines which seek to reduce the instances when conflicts of interest arise and address conflicts that do arise in a way that protects and deals fairly with the interests of those involved. Our personal account dealing rules are an essential part of how we manage conflicts and how we ensure that confidential information is not misused. These rules help us avoid situations where personal interests might conflict with, or be seen to conflict with, the interests of our investors.

The status of the Permira funds’ investee companies is regularly assessed by the relevant Investment Committee and General Partner.
