Apex Becomes First Firm to Join North American Fund Administration Association (NAFAA)

Apex is proud to be the first fund admin to sign up as a member in support the newly launched North American Fund Administration Association (NAFAA), founded by seasoned fund administration professional Chris Meader.

Meader comes from impressive pedigree, with extensive experience and expertise in leading fund administration businesses. Apex is happy to support the NAFAA initiative as its first member, aiming to help define, promote and encourage collaboration for best practices in the industry. The NAFAA will look to address the requirements and goals of investors and allocators, generate a useful and progressive dialogue with regulators and ultimately enhance and improve both the reputation and understanding of the North American fund administration industry, across the globe.

Apex recently produced a whitepaper examining the current state of the US fund administration space and is eager to contribute to the bettering of the industry and collaboration within in: Download The Whitepaper

Peter Hughes, Apex Group Founder & CEO said, “We are extremely happy to be the first member of the NAFAA and to support this important initiative. The US fund administration space and institutional allocators need more structure and we are excited to be a part of an association promoting more collaboration amongst peers in the industry and helping to shape the future for the fund administration sector in North America.”

Chris Meader, Founding Director at NAFAA said, “Collaboration of fund administration service providers in the US is long overdue. With the increased use of derivatives in our industry and the introduction of new products such as Cryptocurrency funds, there is a clear calling, now more than ever before, for a forum to discuss these key issues and ensure that we, as fund admin providers, evolve our businesses to service this new breed of managers and fund types. NAFAA aims to identify and institute operational best practices; to enhance the image and understanding of the industry; to advance constructive dialogue with regulators; and to improve the communication and training amongst its members via effective conferences and communications.”
