RI for institutional clients
As a leading financial services company, we strongly believe that responsible investing can deliver value for clients while making a positive impact on society and the environment.
We share the long-term vision of institutions who want to deliver those positive impacts – in order to help build sustainable, thriving economies for generations to come.
ESG analysis & reports
Our active ownership specialists conduct regular detailed research into a broad sweep of ESG themes and sustainability trends to better understand how markets are evolving and how economies will adapt to changing conditions.
What is SFDR?
The SFDR rules – which come into effect this year – give asset managers like AXA IM a template for reporting how environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors are handled at both firm level and product level. That should give clients a simpler way to compare how asset managers are approaching major sustainability issues like climate change.
Stewardship
Our transparent, active ownership approach aims to benefit our clients both in the form of risk-adjusted returns in the medium-term, and by building a sustainable and prosperous economy over the long term.
