Apex Invest, the capital-raising and advisory division of Apex Group, has announced the appointment of Philipp Levy as its new global head. Based in New York, Levy brings over 30 years of experience in alternative investment marketing and institutional capital raising, underscoring the firm's commitment to leadership with deep industry expertise.
The announcement was made during the Apex Invest – Singapore event, a key platform for the firm to showcase its evolving role in the financial services sector. Levy succeeds John Papesh, who remains with Apex, focusing on the Middle East market. While Papesh brought extensive expertise in regional market development, Levy’s appointment comes with a distinct mandate: to drive digital transformation and harness Apex's global network for scaling its alternative assets platform.
In a statement, Levy emphasized his vision for Apex Invest’s future. “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. This tech-forward approach is a marked evolution from the division’s traditional focus, aligning with broader industry trends that prioritize operational efficiency and access in a rapidly digitizing investment landscape.
Levy's career trajectory positions him well for this role. Prior to joining Apex in May, he served as the head of marketing and investor relations for several event-driven funds in New York City. Notably, he was instrumental in scaling Mudrick Capital Management, a $3 billion event-driven and distressed fund, from inception. With professional stints in key financial hubs such as London, Zurich, and New York, Levy has cultivated a global network and a nuanced understanding of institutional investor needs—both critical assets as Apex looks to expand its footprint.
Founded in Bermuda in 2003, Apex Group has consistently positioned itself as a partner to asset managers, allocators, financial institutions, and family offices. The addition of Levy to its leadership team is seen as part of a broader effort to bridge traditional financial services with cutting-edge technologies, ensuring the firm remains competitive in a fast-changing industry landscape.
Looking ahead, Levy's appointment symbolizes a strategic pivot for Apex Invest, one that is likely to resonate across the alternative assets ecosystem. As institutional investors demand greater transparency, efficiency, and access to global markets, Apex’s digital transformation strategy under Levy's guidance may set new standards for how capital-raising and advisory solutions are delivered. Leveraging its well-established global network, Apex is poised to redefine its role at the intersection of technology and finance.
