Peter Hughes, Founder and CEO of Apex Group comments: “We are delighted to begin 2023 with the launch of our combined Advisory & Capital Raising unit, spearheaded by Dan. By bringing our advisory and capital raising solutions together, we are simplifying the message to the market and integrating our acquired services and products under a connected offering to enhance client experience and understanding of our single-source solution. Dan has worked on both sides of the investor coin; as such, he is well placed to understand the pressures that both new and existing managers face throughout the full lifecycle of raising and deploying capital.”
Dan Page, Global Head of Product - Advisory and Capital Raising Solutions, at Apex Group adds: “Having worked closely with Peter and his team for the last 16 years in a variety of capacities I am excited by the opportunity to build on the existing component parts in the Group to create one effective entity and approach for the whole global alternative assets ecosystem. Raising capital is at the forefront of every client’s mind. Establishing ACR uniquely positions Apex Group to deliver centralised strategy and the global marketplace to its clients.
