Apex Group, a global financial services provider managing over US$3.5 trillion in assets, has obtained a license and opened a new office in Qatar, expanding its presence in the Gulf region.
The move aligns with Qatar National Vision 2030 and aims to support the country’s financial ecosystem.
The Qatar office will provide institutional investors, asset managers, family offices, and financial institutions access to Apex Group’s global platform and solutions, including Apex Digital 3.0, its digital infrastructure for on-chain finance, and AI Nova, the Group’s AI technology.
This follows the Group’s existing operations in Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Bahrain.
Emad Khan, CFA, has been appointed Senior Executive Officer and Country Head of the Qatar office.
Khan has more than a decade of experience in Qatar’s financial sector, with previous roles at UBS, Credit Suisse, and HSBC.
Peter Hughes, Founder and CEO of Apex Group, said:
“Receiving our license as the first regulated asset servicing company in the QFC marks an important milestone in Apex Group’s regional growth strategy. Qatar’s ambition to strengthen its asset management and private capital ecosystem is both timely and strategically important.”
Mansoor Rashid Al-Khater, CEO of QFC, said:
“The firm’s presence in Qatar enhances the financial sector’s operational capabilities, governance standards and specialised expertise, elevating its appeal to international fund managers and institutional investors.”
