Apex Group Ltd. (“Apex”), one of the world’s largest fund administrators, today announced that Joseph Holman has been appointed as Global Head of Allocators for the Group. Holman will manage relationships with institutional-sized investors and allocators worldwide and brings with him more than 25 years of industry experience in building and integrating businesses in the fund management space.

As Global Head of Allocators, Holman will report to the Group’s recently appointed Chief Revenue Officer, Fred Jacobs, and will be based alongside him in the New York office. Holman’s relationship management expertise will guide the Group’s strategic interactions with institutional investors and allocators as it moves into the top five fund administrators.

Prior to joining the Apex team, Holman held a variety of senior positions throughout the fund services space. In 2004 he founded Columbus Avenue Consulting, a fund administrator offering services to hedge funds, fund of funds and private equity funds. After nearly a decade of leading the business, Holman then worked as CEO of Orangefield-Columbus Fund Services following the Orangefield Group’s acquisition of Columbus Avenue Consulting. Most recently, Holman served as Managing Director at Vistra upon the company’s acquisition of the Orangefield Group, managing and overseeing the integration of all U.S. offices following the transaction.

“Joseph’s extensive expertise in driving growth and business development, in addition to his thoughtful approach to relationship management, delivers the perfect blend for Apex as we move upmarket and focus on institutional businesses. Although his remit will be global, his presence on the ground in the U.S. is pertinent as we continue to expand our brand and capabilities there. Joseph will be a critical asset to Apex’s operations and delivery of advanced services as we step into this next chapter.”
