Robert joined Apex Group through its acquisition of Boutique Collective Investments (RF) (Pty) Ltd (“BCI”) and Boutique Investment Partners (Pty) Ltd (“BIP”) in 2023 and has already assumed responsibility for leading the CIS ManCo team in Africa.
This appointment follows the official closing of the BCI, BIP, and IP Management Company acquisitions and subsequent consolidation of the now extensive ManCo team in Africa, with 60 team members. His remit will now include being CEO of Fundrock Management Company.
As the Group expands across Africa, the additional scale and resources are delivering cutting-edge solutions to African and global clients and helping them navigate the complex regulatory environment.
Alan Keet, Regional Head of Middle East & Africa added, “We want clients to have one “Apex experience” and Rob will be aligning all processes, practises, and client service standards across our ManCo’s. He is well-known for being hands-on and client-focussed and will look to bring these attributes to our senior Fundrock team who continue to manage the hedge business.”
Robert will retain overall responsibility for BCI FundRock in his capacity as a Director of the entity.
