Investment Administration and Custody

Apex Group

Valyrian Wealth works with the Apex group and their Wealth Management service to provide both an investment administration service and their custodial service for the safekeeping of your investments.

Investment Administration

The investment administration service helps Valyrian Wealth manage your portfolio in a cohesive manner so that all reporting and administration are conducted efficiently. Apex provides independent valuations of your portfolio to give you confidence in monitoring your investments.

With the scale that Apex provides, Valyrian clients can gain broad access to both local and offshore investment products with no minimum investment fund requirements. Apex is usually able to negotiate wholesale prices for management fees of investment funds and pass on those rates to VW clients. Transaction costs are also negotiated down to levels that may not be available to individuals, reducing the drag on investment performance.

Apex also provides Valyrian clients with a broad reporting functionality to allow clients to check on their investments and transactions directly.

Investment Custodial Services

Apex holds your assets for safekeeping in a bare trust on your behalf. Apex’s company to hold your assets is Investment Custodial Services Limited (ICSL). ICSL cannot instruct any action of your assets but simply holds them for safekeeping and performing any administrative functions such as receiving dividend or coupon payments and making any necessary withholding tax deductions.

Should you wish to terminate your relationship with Valyrian Wealth most investments held with ICSL should be able to transferred into your name or to another custodian should you require.

By pooling the assets with ICSL they are able to make transaction and administrative actions with economies of scale thereby creating lower costs for VW’s clients.
