Notes: In order for a GP to put this arrangement in place, it would need permission to ‘arrange safeguarding and administration’ and ‘advise/arrange’ (or manage investments on behalf of) individual clients as well as funds. If this is not the case, a third-party umbrella fund manager with appropriate permissions can be used to provide appropriate cover – and we can make introductions. For the avoidance of doubt, the investment platform is not a collective investment scheme. Apex Group has no discretion, and it will only act on instruction from a GP (or, where agreed, an investor). There is no pooling of assets – all are held in separate accounts for the benefit of each investor.

Apex Unitas is managed by Apex Unitas Limited, an independent custodian, regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”).
