Apex Group has announced the acquisition of the technology platform of Context365, a global provider of technology and events that connects alternative asset class investors with high quality asset managers.
Context365 connects limited partners and general partners through its software-as-a-service (SaaS) digital networking and research platform. The firm also has an established summit and event offering, providing in-person relationship building and knowledge transfer opportunities throughout the year.
This acquisition reinforces Apex’s aim to deliver frictionless, innovative and digital solutions into the asset management space, as Context365 is used by more than 1,000 family and multi-family offices, funds-of-funds and institutional investors managing more than US$2.5 trillion in assets.
Speaking on the announcement, Peter Hughes, founder and CEO of Apex Group, comments: “This acquisition gives us new capabilities through its large events function, and further supports our ability to make capital allocation and raising more efficient for our clients through digital capital raising solutions.”
Eric Noll, CEO of Context365, adds: “We are confident that Apex is the right party to take what we built to the next level. This transaction represents Context’s complete exit from the capital raising segment, placing it in the best hands possible.”
