Why is Apex different?

Why APEX is different

Apex provides fund adminstration services to the hedge fund and private equity industries. With specialist local knowledge delivered by our offices in all of the world's major financial centres including China we give our clients fast and accurate levels of service enabling them to execute their own growth strategies.

We describe Apex as an 'International Fund Administration' business. In its broadest sense, this means having the foresight to anticipate clients’ needs in emerging and developed economies, having the understanding and knowledge of local markets and deploying a team of highly experienced professionals to service the needs of clients in those markets. Our global model enables us the service any fund in any domicile or time zone, enabling the asset manager to choose where his business should be serviced rather than using multiple third party administrators to service their business.  This allows us to not only be more responsive but also tailor our solutions specific to the evolving requests of our clients.

Our ownership model ensures our independence and confers stability and minimises corporate distractions. Senior management have an interest in the company and all staff have performance based remuneration at every level. This ensures that together, our teams are focused and driven by a shared commitment to succeed. Our culture is at the very core of our business and reflects our international qualities. Our policies, procedures and culture all align our interests with those of our clients. We only succeed if our clients succeed.

We offer alternative asset managers a fully integrated web-based technology solution supporting middle and back office functions, fund administration, OTC derivatives and risk analytics.
