Apex Group, a global financial services provider, has announced the appointment of Philipp Levy as the new global head of Apex Invest, its division focused on capital raising, advisory solutions, and financial technology. The announcement was made during the Apex Invest Singapore event, signaling the firm’s intent to strengthen its international footprint and technological capabilities.
Levy, a seasoned financial executive with over 30 years of experience, will be based in New York. He succeeds John Papesh, who remains with the firm and is now focused on expanding Apex's presence in the Middle East. Unlike his predecessor, Levy's mandate includes a stronger emphasis on leveraging technology and digitization to enhance Apex Invest’s offerings. This shift aligns with Apex’s broader strategy to integrate cutting-edge solutions into the alternative assets space, a sector increasingly defined by digital transformation.
In a statement, Levy expressed his vision for the future of Apex Invest, highlighting the firm’s dual focus on innovation and global reach. “Through our global conferences and our innovative portal, Apex Invest will be at the forefront of the digitization process in the alternative assets space,” he said. Levy’s extensive industry background, which includes leadership roles in marketing and investor relations at high-profile funds, positions him well to navigate the complexities of this evolving landscape.
Prior to joining Apex Group in May, Levy held senior roles at event-driven and distressed funds, including Mudrick Capital Management, a $3 billion firm he helped grow from inception. His career has spanned major financial hubs such as New York, London, and Zurich, with a consistent focus on connecting institutional investors to alternative investment opportunities.
Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Bermuda, Apex Group has grown into a prominent player supporting asset managers, allocators, financial institutions, and family offices globally. With Levy at the helm of Apex Invest, the firm aims to capitalize on emerging trends and strengthen its position as a leader in the alternative assets sector.
As the financial industry continues to pivot toward technology-driven solutions, Levy’s appointment reflects a broader shift within Apex Group to align with the needs of a rapidly changing market. His leadership is expected to play a pivotal role in driving innovation and expanding the firm's global influence in the years ahead.
