Ezra Roth

Ezra Roth is the Managing Partner and Founder of Apex Capital Partners, an alternative investment firm focused on life settlements and longevity-linked assets. He has deep expertise across the full lifecycle of life settlement investing, including portfolio acquisition and divestiture, structured transactions, brokerage origination, complex legal and regulatory matters, medical underwriting, asset servicing, and portfolio management. Over the course of his career, Mr. Roth has been directly involved in the acquisition and management of more than $2 billion in face value of life insurance policies, working across institutional portfolios, bespoke transactions, and secondary-market liquidity events. His experience spans both principal investing and intermediary roles, giving him a comprehensive understanding of pricing dynamics, capital structures, counterparty risk, and asset-level underwriting within the life settlement market.

Prior to founding Apex Capital Partners, Mr. Roth served as a Managing Member of Cypress Life Holdings, where he led large-scale portfolio acquisitions and asset management initiatives. Beginning in 2015, he also served as Chief Executive Officer of Hidden Gem Life Solutions LLC, a life settlement brokerage firm, where he originated and executed transactions totaling hundreds of millions of dollars in aggregate policy face value, working with institutional funds, family offices, and accredited investors.

Earlier in his career, while attending law school, Mr. Roth worked at Treff & Lowy LLP, where he was involved in early-stage life settlement litigation and related insurance matters, providing him with a strong legal foundation in policy enforceability, contestability issues, and carrier disputes—an expertise that continues to inform his investment and risk-management approach.

Mr. Roth earned his Juris Doctor from Hofstra University School of Law and is admitted to practice law in the State of New York

Aaron Schwartz

Aaron Schwartz is a Managing Partner and Founder of Apex Capital Partners. A pioneer in the LS and investment communities, Mr. Schwartz has built his success upon three core principles: transparency, strategy, and value. Above all, Mr. Schwartz seeks to simplify the complex settlement process. Mr. Schwartz’s lifelong passion is helping clients reduce their expenses, fund their retirements, and secure their financial legacies—all with transparency and care. Apex’s culture of honesty and accessibility can be attributed to Mr. Schwartz, a pillar of the LS community. Under Mr. Schwartz’s direction, Apex has educated and empowered countless families, leading them to richer, more rewarding lives.

Before co-founding Apex Capital Partners, Mr. Schwartz conceived, launched, and led two of the regions’ top brokerage and provider companies to national acclaim. Starting with Cromwell Asset Partners (“Cromwell”) in 2016, Mr. Schwartz cultivated a model of stability, navigating the secondary and tertiary markets with confidence and a ‘protection-first’ approach. Mr. Schwartz’s Apex Settlement Group followed in 2020, quickly transforming into New York’s premier Provider for life and viatical settlements. Together, the sister groups represent a comprehensive funnel system, driving a steady stream of high-quality investment deals into the 2020s with Schwartz at the helm.

After founding Cromwell, Mr. Schwartz steered the company to prosperity, garnering $100+ million in commitments, a 75% repeat investor pool, and total Net Death Benefit of $700+ million over an eight-year period. With deep ties to leading institutions and a firm understanding of the retail ecosystem, Mr. Schwartz established an impressive transactional history, attracting top LS veterans—and institutional investors—to his headship. Thanks to Mr. Schwartz’s astute guidance and resourceful outlook, Apex managed to seize new, lucrative opportunities created by COVID-19, even as carriers remained contract-locked. Today, Mr. Schwartz proudly serves as Chief Executive Officer at both New York-based institutions. Additionally, Mr. Schwartz also serves on numerous community boards, committees, and commissions.
