Apex Group Ltd. (“Apex Group”), a global financial services provider with over $3.5 trillion in assets serviced, today announced the speaker lineup for Apex Invest Americas 2026, taking place in Nashville, Tennessee from April 19 to 21.

At a time when geopolitical uncertainty is reshaping global capital flows and investor positioning, Apex Invest Americas will bring together some of the largest allocators, alternative asset managers, and industry leaders, representing approximately $4 trillion in assets under management, for consequential discussions on where capital is moving across private markets and alternatives for the next 12 months.

The three-day program is built around the immediate priorities for family offices and institutional investors, with a focus on capital deployment, portfolio resilience, and emerging opportunities in an increasingly complex global environment. Discussions will cover private credit, digital assets, liquidity and secondaries, co-investments, tokenization, AI-driven investment strategies, and geopolitical risk.

The 2026 program will feature speakers across finance, defense, technology and culture, including:

Garth Brooks, the best‑selling solo artist in U.S. history, will join a fireside chat on April 21 to discuss his career, creative legacy and sustained performance at scale.
