Apex Fund Services has named Gordon Shaw as COO of the Apex Group.
Shaw was previously global head of banking and custody for the alternative funds business at Credit Suisse. Prior to this he was group COO at Fortis Prime Fund Solutions where he had responsibility for over $100 billion in assets under administration.
Shaw will be increasing the use of Apex’s technology-based services including middle office functions, same day NAV reporting and trading systems.
These services are all fully integrated on a technology platform that allows fund managers to instantly access, manage and trade their portfolio.
Peter Hughes, group managing director of Apex Fund Services Holdings, said: “Shaw’s appointment enables Apex to expand and further develop our unique blend of highly personalised services which have proved so popular with our rapidly growing client base, and which target those clear industry demands not being adequately met by the mainstream service providers.”
“With the fund industry facing further compliance and regulation, Shaw’s experience and responsibility for managing risk controls will ensure we continue to provide the highest levels of clients servicing as our global reach and product range expands further.”
