Today fund administrator Apex Group announced the launch of its US broker dealer and alternative trading system (ATS), ApexInvest Markets. This follows the regulatory approval of the change in control after Apex acquired Globacap in late 2025. The goal is to enable distribution, capital raising and secondary trading for private assets.
This fits in with its Apex Digital 3.0 solution and other relationships, such as the collaboration with LSEG’s Digital Market Infrastructure (DMI) which also plans to enable secondary trading of private funds leveraging tokenization. During that launch Apex CEO Peter Hughes highlighted the three changes that tokenization supports: broader reach beyond institutional investors to wealth managers, enhanced access by lowering the minimum investment amounts, and secondary trading as opposed to multiyear fund lock-in. ApexInvest Markets will help achieve many of the same aims stateside.
“The launch of our U.S. broker-dealer is an important milestone in our long-term vision to build a more connected investment ecosystem,” said Hughes. “Apex Digital 3.0, our next-generation digital strategy focused on modernizing how global financial markets operate, and our new broker-dealer capabilities strengthen how we support clients as they raise, distribute, and trade assets.”
