Apex Group Ltd (“Apex Group”) a global financial services provider with over $3.5 trillion in assets serviced, today announced that it is providing transfer agency services to Fidelity International in support of the launch of its first tokenised product, which offers institutional and professional investors 24/7 regulated, yield‑bearing U.S. dollar liquidity and collateral-ready mechanics.
The capabilities are designed for on‑chain markets and real‑time processing environments.
The launch reflects the continued evolution of regulated asset management as tokenisation and on‑chain workflows are incorporated into institutional fund operating models, while maintaining established standards of governance, investor protection, and operational control.
In this context, Apex Group acted as transfer agent, supporting digital investor onboarding, wallet whitelisting, and transaction processing for the tokenised fund structure, in alignment with applicable regulatory frameworks.
Emma Pecenicic, Head of Digital Assets Distribution at Fidelity International said:
“Tokenised fund models must meet the same standards as traditional fund structures, Apex Group’s transfer agency support helped extend established fund operating practices into an on‑chain environment, while maintaining the standards our clients and regulators expect.”
Peter Hughes, Founder and CEO of Apex Group, said:
"Apex Group’s 24/7 digital transfer agency model removes a structural limitation that has held back digital liquidity markets. Many funds operate on chain, yet their subscriptions and redemptions still depend on traditional, business hour processes. Investors gain realtime access to liquidity and continuous, automated processing. It reflects a more modern market infrastructure that is always available, transparent, and designed to reinforce trust.”
Fidelity International also worked with a network of established infrastructure providers, including Sygnum, J.P. Morgan, and Chainlink, to support this initiative.
