Responsible investing at AXA Investment Managers
- 26 April 2022 (5 min read)
AXA IM has spent over two decades building its Responsible Investing capabilities. Today more than ever we remain deeply committed to our leading role as a responsible investor and long-term steward of our clients’ investments.
In this video Hans Stoter Global Head of AXA IM Core talks about how AXA IM’s Responsible Investment philosophy is grounded in two key principles: it helps us make better investment decisions and it is the means by which we can help accelerate the transition to a more sustainable world. In the simplest terms possible, investing is about trying to anticipate the future.
We look at Global ESG issues, such as climate change and how this has introduced risks or new investment opportunities - motivating investors to reshape their portfolio for the future. It has now become a ‘must have’ feature.
Capital at risk. The value of investments may fall as well as rise and you may not get back the full amount invested.

The ESG data used in the investment process are based on ESG methodologies which rely in part on third party data, and in some cases are internally developed. They are subjective and may change over time. Despite several initiatives, the lack of harmonized definitions can make ESG criteria heterogeneous. As such, the different investment strategies that use ESG criteria and ESG reporting are difficult to compare with each other. Strategies that incorporate ESG criteria and those that incorporate sustainable development criteria may use ESG data that appear similar, but which should be distinguished because their calculation method may be different.
