Global, September 28, 2020 — Apex Group Ltd. (“Apex” or “The Group”), a global financial services provider, announces today that it has appointed Barry Hindmarch to the newly created role of Head of Real Estate, UK & Ireland and Channel Islands. Hindmarch will lead the continued development of Apex’s real estate fund services business in the region, including the growth and management of real estate client relationships.

Earlier this year, Apex appointed Michael Sheahan as Global Head of Real Estate Fund Services and this latest hire further demonstrates the Group’s intent to become the leading provider of real estate asset servicing solutions.

Over the course of his career, he has also held fund accounting roles at Patrizia AG (formerly Rockspring Property Investment Managers LLP), Aberdeen Property Investment Managers (formerly Barclays Property Investors) and Lazard Brothers Merchant Bank.

Apex has been building strength and momentum in real estate asset servicing in recent years and has become a market leader; now servicing over $300bn in AuA across the real estate and private equity space alone.

Michael Sheahan, Global Head of Real Estate Fund Services, Apex Group comments: “We are excited to welcome someone of Barry’s outstanding caliber and experience to Apex as we further build our Real Estate expertise and leadership team.
