The Kigali office will offer Fund Administration, Corporate Services, Compliance Solutions, as well as Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) advisory services, pending regulatory approvals.
The company said in a statement on Thursday that, in offering its services, it will work closely with the Kigali International Financial Centre (KIFC), which is positioning Rwanda as a leading hub for financial services in Africa.
Emma Msowoya, Country Head of Apex Group Rwanda, said the office reflects a 'long-term commitment to the region' and a focus on building local expertise.
'I am proud to be part of Apex Group's entry into East Africa as we expand our global footprint and drive meaningful change across the financial services industry," she said.
"Rwanda's reputation for innovation, stability, and progressive economic policy makes it an ideal location for Apex Group's next chapter in Africa," she added.
KIFC CEO Hortense Mudenge welcomed the expansion, saying it demonstrates growing global confidence in Rwanda's stable business environment and strengthens the country's position as a competitive financial hub.
"Apex Group's presence further strengthens our financial ecosystem, enhances the availability of world-class services and Rwanda's position as a trusted and competitive financial hub on the continent," the KIFC CEO stated.
Apex Group, founded in Bermuda in 2003, operates in more than 50 countries worldwide, including several in Africa such as South Africa, Namibia, and Botswana.
The company plans to host an official launch event for the new office on September 8 at the Kigali Marriott Hotel, bringing together clients, partners, and stakeholders from across the region.
