“We see Singapore not just as a gateway to Asia, but as an essential hub for global wealth management,” remarked Jonathan Klein, CEO of Apex Capital, at the unveiling of the firm's new office in Singapore. “Our clients increasingly demand sophisticated, cross-border solutions, and establishing a presence here allows us to deliver exactly that.”
Apex Capital, a leading boutique wealth management firm headquartered in Zurich, has officially opened its latest office in Singapore, solidifying its commitment to serving high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) and family offices across Asia-Pacific. Known for its bespoke investment strategies and expertise in offshore structures, Apex Capital’s expansion comes at a time when Singapore is cementing its position as a global hub for wealth and innovation.
The decision to open in Singapore was strategic. Asia-Pacific is home to the fastest-growing population of HNWIs, with a 2023 Capgemini report indicating that the region surpassed North America in terms of total wealth held by its affluent individuals. Singapore, in particular, has gained prominence due to its political stability, robust regulatory framework, and an attractive tax regime for businesses and individuals alike. Apex Capital’s leadership saw these factors as a compelling case for positioning themselves in this market, especially as demand for sophisticated cross-border wealth planning continues to grow.
Founded in 2005, Apex Capital has built a reputation for taking a highly personalized approach to wealth management, blending traditional strategies with innovative asset classes. The firm’s new Singapore office will focus on providing tailored solutions to ultra-high-net-worth clients, including family office setup, tax optimization strategies, and access to alternative investments such as private equity and sustainable finance. Apex Capital is also leveraging Singapore’s vibrant fintech and blockchain ecosystem to offer cutting-edge digital asset services, catering to the growing interest in cryptocurrencies among its clientele.
“Our Singapore office will serve as a bridge for clients who want to diversify their assets internationally while tapping into Asia’s immense growth opportunities,” said Klein. “Whether it’s a family office in Europe seeking exposure to Asian markets or a Southeast Asian entrepreneur exploring offshore structures, we aim to be the trusted partner guiding them through these complexities.”
The firm’s entry into Singapore is expected to have ripple effects not only for its current clients but also for the broader wealth management ecosystem. By bringing its expertise in cross-border planning and alternative investments to the region, Apex Capital is poised to contribute to Singapore’s reputation as a magnet for global capital flows. The firm’s move aligns with a larger trend of European and North American wealth managers establishing a presence in Asia to cater to the region’s rapidly evolving financial needs.
Closing its inaugural week of operations, the Singapore office has already attracted interest from clients seeking to establish long-term residency through Singapore’s Global Investor Program. This initiative, which offers permanent residency to individuals investing significant capital in the country, has become a cornerstone for attracting HNWIs from around the world. Apex Capital’s in-house experts are well-versed in navigating such residency programs, offering a seamless experience for clients looking to integrate their wealth strategies with international mobility.
As Apex Capital embarks on this new chapter, its Singapore presence underscores a broader shift in global wealth management dynamics. Klein’s vision for the firm is clear: “We believe the future of wealth management is borderless, and Singapore is a critical piece of that puzzle.”
With its strategic foresight and client-first philosophy, Apex Capital is well-positioned to thrive in the region while setting new benchmarks in the global wealth management industry.
