AXA Framlington wins top equity manager award
AXA Framlington, an equity fund manager within AXA Investment Managers (AXA IM), has been named equity manager of the year at the 2011 United Kingdom Pensions Awards.
The company said approximately 83 per cent of the Framlington funds outperformed their peer groups during the period evaluated by the award. The manager has £17.7 billion or approximately AUD$27.1 billion in global equities under management.
The UK Pensions Awards evaluates investment managers across four broad categories of innovation, communication, performance and service standards.
The global head of AXA Framlington, Mark Beveridge, said during difficult times, the quality of a fund manager’s client service took on new importance.
The manager has a team of 54 investment professionals across different countries, with Beveridge noting its sector specialists were “instrumental in providing information to portfolio managers and developing unique research tools”.
Director of AXA IM in Australia, Craig Hurt, noted following the sale of AXA Asia Pacific, AXA Framlington would be one of three investment platforms the company would bring to Australian investors.
