Apex Group, a $3T+ AUA fund administrator and leading financial services provider, has partnered with Ownera, a leading provider of tokenization interoperability solutions, to bring Apex’s extensive range of services to any financial institution and issuer with an Ownera router.
Ownera’s routers interconnect many of the world's leading tokenization platforms including Digital Assets Canton, R3 Corda, Besu, Quorum, Tokeny and others, and extends access from these environments to buy-side demand as well as to custodians and asset servicing firms.
The integration of Apex’s platform with Ownera's FinP2P routers will enable Apex to seamlessly manage and distribute tokenized assets for clients across the FinP2P ecosystem.

Additionally, Apex’s own tokenization solutions will give both issuers and investors seamless access to tokenized markets such as bonds, real estate and private equity.
