Our management team has an unmatched track record in sourcing, executing and managing transactions in Egypt and Apex’s support will enable us to focus on these core competencies.”

Deepak I. Shahdadpuri, Managing Director, DSGCP (August 2020)

“We were initially cautious about moving our business and it was not a decision we took lightly – but we hugely reassured by the strong references feedback on Apex given by other administrators and GPs in the market. One year on from appointing Apex we can say with absolute certainty that this was the right move. The quality of service, promptness and attention to detail has been outstanding and is something which we value highly. We have been most impressed by the depth and breadth of experience and quality of advice Apex offer, built from many years of advising funds. As DSGCP grows as a group from a small investment holding company to a larger and regulated entity, it is important that we constantly look uphold the levels of governance and Apex has played a crucial role in this.”

Jatender Singh Aujla, Managing Partner and Founder of Preservation Capital Partners (August 2020)

“We chose to partner with Apex, due to their proven ability to deliver the highest levels of service at a competitive price point as an independent third party provider. Apex’s help and support has been invaluable as we raised our debut fund and we look forward to working with the team for many years going forward.”

Michael B. Garcia — CEO & CIO, MBG Capital (2018)

 “Seahedge Philippines Fund has been a client of the Apex/Deutsche Bank team since 2012. We’ve always enjoyed an exceptional level of service from them. Their services are professionally delivered, precise, prompt, and adaptive to our business needs. I’m especially pleased with the highly skilled individuals who service our account. They are very accommodating, responsive and offer innovative solutions when our requirements deviate from the normal.

The recent transition from Deutsche Bank to Apex proved, yet again, the strong capabilities of the servicing team. We were happy that the same team members remained. The transition activities went smoothly without any interference to our operations. Apart from the name change, our clients didn’t notice a difference.

All in all, we are very happy with high quality of service and strong business relationship we share with Apex, and would not hesitate to recommend them as a provider to other funds.”

Matthew Breakwell, Wraith Capital LLP

 “From Day 1 the professionalism and eye for detail has been fantastic. Though Apex have grown from strength to strength, the level of service I receive has not been compromised in anyway. We’ve had the same account manager from Day 1 who has a detailed knowledge of the Prospectus. Detailing points within the Prospectus in the most finest of details when dealing with investors has been consistently good. Investors have commented plenty of times how professional, detailed and helpful our account manager has been subscribing them into the fund. Working with the IM and handholding us through the initial start-up was invaluable at a time when a lot’s going on in setting up and raising the initial capital. Enough for now – I could keep on.”
