The partnership will make all Ownera Routers ‘Apex-ready’ so that every Ownera tokenization and distribution partner is integrated into Apex out of the box.

Apex Group, a $3T+ AUA fund administrator and leading financial services provider, has partnered with Ownera, a leading provider of tokenization interoperability solutions, to bring Apex's extensive range of services to any financial institution and issuer with an Ownera router.

Ownera's routers interconnect many of the world's leading tokenization platforms including Digital Assets Canton, R3 Corda, Besu, Quorum, Tokeny and others, and extends access from these environments to buy-side demand as well as to custodians and asset servicing firms.

The integration of Apex's platform with Ownera's FinP2P routers will enable Apex to seamlessly manage and distribute tokenized assets for clients across the FinP2P ecosystem. For example, assets tokenized on any FinP2P connected tokenization platform will be able to easily access Apex's fund administration and transfer agency services. Additionally, Apex’s own tokenization solutions will give both issuers and investors seamless access to tokenized markets such as bonds, real estate and private equity.

Peter Hughes, Founder and CEO of Apex Group commented:

"We are pleased to form an alliance with Ownera and Apex Group can now leverage Ownera's router system. Thus, interconnecting many of the world's leading tokenised asset distributors, which will extend access to buy-side demand as well as custodians and asset servicing firms.
