Apax Partners is reportedly close to selling a 10% in its general partnership to an Asian investor in a deal that would value the firm at around $10 billion as it seeks to expand aggressively in Asia.

Candidates to buy into the private equity firm have boiled down to three bidders: GIC, the sovereign wealth fund of Singapore; the Australian government's Future Fund; and Japanese financial services group Takefuji, according to Dow Jones Private Equity News.
