LSEG, Apex Group to tokenize private funds by 2026

The London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) and fund administrator Apex Group have announced a groundbreaking collaboration to leverage LSEG’s Digital Market Infrastructure for tokenizing private funds, with the service slated to go live in the first half of 2026. This partnership aims to democratize access to a traditionally exclusive asset class by enabling broader distribution and enhanced liquidity.

The new service will cover the full asset lifecycle, including token issuance, distribution, settlement, and servicing based on LSEG’s platform. However, the current gap in this lifecycle is the ability to trade these tokens, a capability LSEG is actively developing.

“We’re bringing forward the ability to trade private market assets, particularly the funds of leading institutional asset managers through the markets at LSEG,” said Apex Group CEO Peter Hughes. “Now that’s all changing.”

Consequently, this initiative directly addresses the historical inaccessibility of private funds for most investors. Hughes noted these assets were previously only available to those who could invest millions of dollars and lock up capital for seven to ten years.

Meanwhile, the DMI platform, initially launching with private funds, is designed to expand into other asset classes in the future. This strategic move by LSEG and Apex Group signals a significant evolution in capital markets infrastructure toward blockchain-based solutions.
