Apex Group Ltd. (“Apex Group”), the leading global financial services provider, has announced it has been appointed as fund administrator and compliance partner to MPower’s latest venture capital vehicle, MPower Partners Fund II LP.
Founded by three pioneering Japanese women, MPower is recognised for its commitment to diversity and embedding ESG into its investment processes. Their first fund, MPower Partners Fund LP was Japan’s first ESG-integrated global venture capital fund and Fund II has a focus on growth-stage investments that champion long-term growth in Japan.
Apex Group is dedicated to deliver fund administration and compliance (investment due diligence) services to MPower Partners Fund II LP via its fund solutions pillar, powered by the eFront technology platform.
Yuko Shimizu, Apex Goup’s Business Development Director – APAC, said:
“We are honored that MPower has selected Apex Group as their fund administrator and compliance partner for Fund II. This appointment is a testament to the trust we’ve built over the past four years and the dedication of our teams. We look forward to supporting MPower in delivering value to their investors while driving diversity and sustainability in Japan’s startup ecosystem.”
MPower’s GPs, Kathy Matsui, Yumiko Murakami and Miwa Seki said:
“We’re grateful for Apex Group’s unwavering commitment and diligence in supporting our growth. Their seamless onboarding process and dedication to meeting tight deadlines gave us the confidence to select them for Fund II. We look forward to continuing our collaboration as we invest in transformative companies in Japan and beyond.”
This collaboration reflects a broader trend in the global venture capital landscape: investors and fund managers are increasingly focused on sustainability, diversity, and ESG integration as drivers of long-term value. Japan’s vibrant startup ecosystem is an important contributor to these trends, and Apex Group is pleased to partner with MPower in supporting the next wave of innovative growth-stage companies.
