AXA Investment Managers (AXA IM) is a multi-expert asset management company within the AXA Group, a global leader in financial protection and wealth management. We are one of the largest European-based asset managers with €554 billion in assets under distribution as of the end of December 2012. In a challenging environment, our ability to offer clients a comprehensive range of investment solutions spanning all asset classes, as well as the talent of our fund managers enabled AXA IM to thrive.

In 2012, AXA IM once again proved its ability to innovate and enhance its offering, adapting its range of products and solutions to the changing environment and the evolving needs of clients. While remaining committed to active management, AXA IM has developed range of practical investment strategies specifically designed to reduce the inefficiencies of market cap tracking.  These low cost SmartBeta strategies harvest beta in a diversified and efficient fashion.  AXA IM has also developed market-leading solutions to provide clients with inflation protection, capital protection, diversification, and support the search for income.

In an environment of increasing regulation, AXA IM has continued to leverage its experience of working with the AXA Group to provide institutional investors with new and often bespoke solutions. AXA IM's detailed knowledge of bank balance sheets, combined with the excellence of the credit analysis teams, has also enabled AXA IM to develop innovative initiatives with regard to loans, thereby turning the disintermediation of the bank industry into an opportunity for clients.
