Financial services provider Apex Group has concluded the acquisition of FundRock Management Company and FundRock Partners- an independent UCITS Management Company and Alternative Investment Fund Manager.
The deal, which increases Apex’s assets to $1trn, was announced by the firm last October. It complements the company’s takeover of Luxembourg-based ManCo, which took place in 2019.

Speaking on the development, Apex Group founder and CEO Peter Hughes said that the close of the deal would enhance the company’s service model.
Hughes added: “This strategic acquisition further strengthens our single-source model, grows our ManCo capabilities and expands our ability to support clients across all aspects of their business – no matter where they are in the world.”
Apex will extend its single-source solution capabilities, across fund solutions, middle office, ManCo services, digital banking, corporate solutions and ESG ratings and advisory services, to the clients of FundRock.
Additionally, FundRock will receive access to the group’s international presence and new jurisdictions through its globally connected operating model across 45 offices with a workforce of 4,000.
