Our equity expertiseAXA Framlington is a leading equity expertise within the AXA Investment Managers Group, with teams based in London and Paris.
We are primarily a bottom-up, active equity investment manager. The fundamental approach to stock selection combined with the experienced team of Fund managers focuses on long term performance delivery to our clients.
We consider the strength and depth of the AXA Framlington team to be a key competitive advantage. The vast experience of over 50 specialist Fund managers, means we are able to fully capitalise on knowledge-sharing and cross-fertilisation of ideas.
Our team of Fund managers conducted more than 2,500 company meetings in 2008. This in-depth, first-hand analysis provides us with the key insights and information edge necessary for investment success. Furthermore, this comprehensive information gathering process fosters a natural environment for new and innovative product ideas.
Underpinning AXA Framlington’s approach is a refreshingly simple but effective investment philosophy, supported by our focus on primary research:
- We only invest in companies that we fully understand, run by management we trust.
Informed by this primary research, our Fund managers are able to construct dynamic, high performance portfolios while ensuring that strict risk controls are always in place and adhered to. Particular attention is paid to portfolio diversification and liquidity and above all else, we never forget the fact that we have been entrusted with your money. Our Fund managers are incentivised by consistent, long-term outperformance, thereby bringing their interests directly into line with those of our clients.
As with all stock market investment, though, performance of our portfolios may go up and down and you may get back less than you invest.
The strength of our business can be attributed to two key factors:
- A dynamic and autonomous investment team
- The stability and operational scale provided by being part of one of the world’s largest financial managers. |
