Apex Group announces the appointment of Frederick Shaw as Country Head – United States, responsible for overseeing the delivery of Apex Group’s single-source solution to clients in the geography.
Shaw brings two decades of experience in the financial services industry, joining Apex Group from private markets investor, Hamilton Lane, where he held the role of Chief Risk Officer and Global Head of Operations.
During his tenure, Shaw led teams overseeing the company’s domestic and international regulatory compliance and risk management frameworks along with its global operations complex. Prior to joining Hamilton Lane in 2011, Shaw held senior compliance and operational roles in international banks and alternative asset management.
In his new role, Shaw will oversee Apex Group’s rapidly expanding US business, which now employs over 600 people across 15 local offices.

In addition to strong organic growth, Apex Group has also recently completed the integration and rebrand of the acquisition of Greenhough Consulting Group, bolstering its corporate and business services offering for funds and corporates, the company added.
Shaw will work closely Apex Group’s experienced regional leadership team, including recently appointed Group President, Samir Pandiri, Georges Archibald, Chief Innovation Officer and Regional Managing Director, Americas and Elaine Chim, Global Head of Closed Ended Products.
