Apex Group Opens U.S. Broker‑Dealer

Apex Group Ltd., a leading global financial services provider, announced the launch of its U.S. broker-dealer and alternative trading system, ApexInvest Markets LLC, following regulatory approval for change of control.

The launch further strengthens Apex Group’s ability to support asset managers across the full capital‑raising lifecycle. ApexInvest Markets enables distribution through established channels and strategic partnerships, expands access to capital‑raising solutions, facilitates secondary trading for private assets, and enhances investor engagement through Apex Invest events. These capabilities complement Apex Group’s suite of services and help create a more unified experience for clients.

Peter Hughes, Founder and CEO of Apex Group, commented:

“The launch of our U.S. broker‑dealer is an important milestone in our long‑term vision to build a more connected investment ecosystem. 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.

These capabilities, combined with a globally compliant platform, enable participants to broaden access, improve liquidity, and support more efficient distribution. As more businesses look to reach wealth and retirement channels, Apex Group is well positioned to help them do so in a responsible and scalable way. This launch further advances the growth of the Apex Invest platform and Apex Invest events.”
