AXA Investment Managers (AXA IM) is a global asset manager with assets under management (AUM) of €759 billion. We believe Responsible and Impact Investing can deliver sustainable, long term value for clients and create a positive impact on society. This has underpinned our work in developing investment solutions that incorporate environmental, social and impact considerations across all asset classes. In particular, we are focused on using investor capital to fund innovative solutions that empower underserved populations and address the critical environmental challenges of our time. AXA IM invested as early as 1998 in the RI and Impact space with the launch of a fund tackling unemployment by investing in companies creating sustainable jobs in Europe; highlighting our philosophy that the creation of positive social impact can work in lock-step with the generation of long-term financial returns for investors. Our evolution continued with the launch of the AXA Impact Investing Programme in 2013 which targets the delivery of market rate financial returns alongside the generation of intentional and measurable impact returns. Our Impact Programme focuses on meeting the needs of underserved populations in priority areas including financial inclusion, access to healthcare and education; and also provides capital to impact solutions that protect the planet and improve resilience to climate change.
