WealthTech has become an extraordinary phenomenon, shaping transformations globally in the investment world in an age of digital disruption and democratization of finance. Placed at the cusp of finance and technology, WealthTech platforms not only grant easy access to diversified investment opportunities but also shape the very notions of creation, management, and cultivation of wealth. Innovative companies and solution players are at the forefront of these transformations, tackling the complex needs of modern investors: AI-powered advisory tools, robo-advisors, real-time analytics, personalized portfolio management, and secure, scalable digital infrastructure. Apex Fintech Solutions stands as a niche player in the WealthTech space, supplying cloud-native infrastructure and APIs that allow financial firms to build, launch, and scale digital investing experiences across the globe. Founded in 2012 as PEAK6’s arm for clearing and custody services, Apex has evolved into a standalone innovation launchpad for fintechs, broker-dealers, banks, 401(k) providers, and more.
Cloud-Native Core: AscendOS™
At the heart of the offerings is AscendOS™, a cloud-native trading, clearing, and custody platform built with Google Cloud. It provides real-time account onboarding, trade execution, prebuilt ledgers, embedded data warehouses, and complete asset support-from equities and ETFs to options, futures, fixed income, and alternatives-through modular APIs and SDKs. AscendOS™ allows implementing clients to choose full-stack or modular implementation approaches so that they may concentrate on innovating unique front-end experiences while relying on Apex for the scalable back-end infrastructure. Other features include real-time trade reporting, the processing of corporate actions, and cost-basis calculations, among others, including 30+ account types.
Wealth-Tech Capabilities and Embedded Tools
In addition to its key platform, Apex provides integrated WealthTech tools such as portfolio rebalancers, direct indexing, advisor workstations, model marketplaces, and investor portals. Clients enjoy smooth, white-label digital experiences and improved self-service features. The launch of Apex Alts highlights their goal: a solution that includes alternative investments like private equity, credit, and non-traded REITs in standard brokerage accounts. This opens up access for investors, allowing alternative investments to be alongside traditional assets in a single, familiar interface.

A clear vision guides Apex: to be the trusted technology powering the digital economy. Their mission is to ‘be the market-leading financial technology and data provider driving disruption and innovation for the future of wealth creation.’ Their primary purpose is frictionless investing for everyone.
