Apex Group, a global financial services provider, has announced the licensing and opening of its new office in Qatar.
Through its presence in Qatar, Apex Group will bring its global platform, international experience, and financial solutions to the local market, supporting institutional investors, asset managers, family offices, and financial institutions.
The firm says it marks a strategic milestone in the firm’s continued expansion across the Gulf region, and aligns with the ambitions set out in Qatar National Vision 2030.
The Qatar office will also extend access to Apex Group’s capabilities, including Apex Digital 3.0, the digital infrastructure enabling institutional adoption and distribution of onchain finance and AI Nova, the group’s artificial intelligence technology offering.
This expansion builds on Apex Group’s footprint across the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Bahrain.
It reinforces the Group’s strategy to invest in high-growth markets and partner with governments and regulators to support sustainable economic development.
Emad Khan, CFA, has been appointed senior executive officer and country head of Apex Group's Qatar office.
With over a decade of experience in Qatar's financial sector, including prior roles at Union Bank of Switzerland, Credit Suisse, and HSBC, he will lead Apex’s local strategy and support the development of the institutional infrastructure underpinning Qatar’s evolving financial ecosystem.
Peter Hughes, founder and CEO of Apex Group, notes: “Receiving our license as the first regulated asset servicing company in the Qatar Financial Centre 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. Our presence reflects a long-term commitment to supporting its ecosystem with global expertise, innovation, and institutional standards aligned with the Qatar National Vision 2030.”
Mansoor Rashid Al-Khater, CEO of Qatar Financial Centre (QFC), comments: “Apex Group is a welcome addition to QFC’s financial services community, further strengthening its depth and sophistication.
"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.”
